Catoosa County II
FLOURISHING POULTRY
FARMS / tNVWf
i
Created from 167 square miles of Walker and Whitfield County
lands in 1853, Catoosa became Georgia's 99th county. It was
named after Catoosa Springs, a mineral-water flow located in
the area, which attracted health-seekers in the days of the
Cherokee Indians. This small northwest border county ranks
150th in size, and its population numbers 17,300. Ringgold, the
county seat of Catoosa, is principally an agricultural commun
ity and like much of the entire county, enjoys a healthy income
from the raising of poultry. Catoosa's history includes a Civil
War battlefield, where Confederate General Cleburne’s divi
sion. retreating from Missionary Ridge, turned to face the pur
suing forces of Union General Hooker. This fierce skirmish re
sulted in saving the Southerners’ artillery and supply lines from
certain destruction. One of the few original buildings still stand
ing from Civil War raids is the Catoosa County Court House,
reportedly spared due to a Masonic Hall located on its upper
floor. ... . , , , ,
In Georgia counties where the sale of beer and ale is legal,
the United States Brewers Association works constantly to as
sure their sale under pleasant, orderly conditions. Believing
that strict law enforcement serves the best interest of the
people of Georgia, the Association stresses close cooperation
with the Armed Forces, law enforcement and governing officials.

OUR WORD’
Are we 'as good as our word”?
In. common usage, being "as good as
our word" means we have honor—we
are trustworthy, honest, dependable.
When credit is extended to us z it is because the firm extending that credit
believes we are as good as our word.
If we fail to live up to our pledge to pay at a certain time — and have no
really good reason — then we indicate our word means nothing.
REMEMBER, in credit matters, as in all other
matters, we lose when we fail to keep “our word ”.
