A happy new year to our editor,

here. If there was any booze we
did not hear of it.
Mr.. B. K. Alfred of Upshaw

rade, A. A. Griggs.
Quite a little excitement prevailed
in our burg the last day of the year.
About nine o'clock in the morning a
number of our citizens saw what
they thought to be an air ship pass
ing over Mackland' One of them
said he could see the wheels of the
ship and waved his hat at the man
in it, but the next day they found
out that a little son of Mr.. Rube
Hill had sent upa kite which travel
ed about two and a half miles and
lodged in tree near the home of
Mr.. James Echols.
Miss Addie Mae Griggs, of Mari
eta, spent Christmas with her
grandparents here.
Misses Zelma and Esther Bobb

err. Miss Zelma will graduate this

LOST MOUNTAIN.

Among the visitors that were here
during the holidays whose names
we failed to get last week were,
Rev. Ralph Doneheo and wife and
Miss Cofine Scott, of the State Nor
NAL School.
The first Sunday of the year was
fine day and a large crowd atten-
ded preaching at Midway. Pastor
Patton paid his respects to the fell
low who celebrated Christmas by
drinking whiskey. He called upon
the men not to take part or en-
gage in anything they could not
take their wives and children with
them.
An unknown white man passed
through here Sunday in Christmas
and played a clever trick on some
of the negroes. 1t is also reported
some of the whites were caught at
his game. He would approach a
man and propose to sell him some
whiskey and the buyer could get any
amount he wanted by paying over
the money and he would deliver the
whiskey inside of one hour. He
disappeared with the money but
never returned with the whiskey.
1t is true, the parties lost their
money but he is not such a bad fell
low after all, for had he delivered
the whiskey somebody might have
got drunk, fight ensued and some
got hurt or shot. The whiskey GER
tainly would have made trouble,
Now, if we are to be infested at all
with blind tigers we certainly pre-
fer this kind.
