The Tourists Pass
Through

Peltcd With dust and sand hut
with their enthusiasm still at d high
pitch, the FIRST tourists III tie
Round-the-State' tour passed
through Leesburg early Monday
afternoon. Within the compass Of
a single day they had been sprinkled
with the red clay dust Of northern
and qniddle Georgia and with the
sandy dust of the southern part Of
the state.
Throughout Monday afternoon at
intervals they continued to pass
through on their way southwark,
the last car Of the day having gone
by about 1880 O'Clock in the even
ing with the light Of the full moon
as an additional guide to its brilliant
headlights Practically all the
tourists who passed during the after
noon were out for records, 50 they
rushed through on their way with
FQut stops or parleyings. Altogether
There were about a score of cars that
passed through during the first day.
Many other ears passed here on
Tuesday, while some passed as late
as Thursday. Many Of the cars We're
gaily dccked with pennaRts aud
flags, while others carried printed
streamers that gave the names Of
their owners and the tour on which
they were travelling. Not a one but
was dust-covered and soiled. though
the roads are dry practically all the
way from Atlanta to Leesburg.
With a strong and grsty east and
northeast wind beating against them
all the way, the tourists experienced
the worst dry-weather day they
could have picked throughout the
entire summer or fall. The force Of
the hurricane that swept up the coast
was felt in the brisk winds that
stirred the dry and powdered sur
face If the road all along the way,
but there was not a one but who was
glad to make the trip.

The Albany Herald in speaking
of the term Of superior court Just adj

In this term of court it has been
generally commented upon that the

firmly behind the grand jury, and
the Judge and solicitor have firmly
upheld aid stood behind these ef-
forts to enforce the law. It is also
the general conviction among law
abiding citizens that the county has
needed such a term Of court; and
that its work will have q good effect
upon the lawless element OF the COM
munity. ("
It is the conviction of law-abiding
citizens everywhere that every coun-

the constantly increasing lawless-
ness. We congratulate Doughtery

HAS THIRTY DAYS OF
SAVING YET

The logs that filled the river
above the dam have all been
cleaned up and towed to the mill
where they have nearly all been
sawed into ties and lumber, but
the mill will be kept running for
another month at least, saving
the logs that are being put in
by l.. W. Barnes. He hauls the
logs in on a heavy wagon with
a four horse team and dumps
them in the lake. He averages
about twelve loads per day.
The planning mill that has
been running continuously during
the whole summer, was shut
down Friday night, but will be
started up when the saw mill
closes down, and if the lumber
business picks up any may run
all the rest of the winter.

In order that the Fast Mail"

from all other trains, the Great
Northern has painted the cars a
light buff color, and large bold
letters announce that it is the Great
Northern Fast Mail. This il also
different from any color used by
other roads, 50 no matter where
the train is, it will always be set
off from the rest. The first of the

Want Free Dormitories.

The board of trustees of the
county high school met August
H, and among other business de-
cided to submit to the voters at
the coming election the question
of bonding the county for $780,
600 for the purpose of building
and furnishing seperate dormi-
tories for boys and girls, with a
gymnasium and a room to ac-
comodate the domestic science
department.
The new courses of study
which take effect at the begin
ming of the incoming term,
viz: commercial, agricultural,
manuul training, and domestic
science courses, are going to
bring in many students from the
country and small towns, and in
the past it has been almost i'm
possible to secure rooms and
board for outside pupils at rates
that could be paid by people of
limited means. It was to pro-
vide accommodation for these pu-
pills that the board decided on
the building of free dormitories.

CONDUCT EXCLU-
SIVE BAKERY

Commencing last Monday the
City Bakery and Grocery discon-
tinued the grocery business, and
Mr.. Bugg, the proprietor, stated
that he will devote his whole
time and energy from now on,
wholly to the bakery, which he
will make a specially of.
During the past month the
bakery end of the business has
grown to such proportions that
neither department could be
given the proper attention it
should have, so Mr.. Bugg decid-
ed to close out his entire stock of
groceries and from now on will
conduct only the bakery, which
he will bring up to the highest
point of perfection and will be
able to cater to the wants of the
public for anything needed in
that line.
The store is being remodeled
and painted up and when COM
pleted will compare with any
other such establishment in the
valley, where the public can call
each morning and get their days
supply of bread, fresh from the
oven.
'Buggs Famous Fresh Bread"
and buns, and all kinds of cakes
and pies, will be the specialties.
He will also carry a new line of
candies, fruits and canned goods
for lunches.

BANK DEPOSITS
LARGE HERE

Proof of the healthy condition in
commercial lines in this section is
the fact that the average amount of
deposits in the First National
Bank of Whitefish is around the
5000, 900 mark.
This is indeed encouraging when
one reads the statements of banking
institutions that are capitalized for
much larger amounts, where only
from $35 900 to $50, 900 are on de-
posit, and this in much larger towns
in agricultural communities.
