Sunday. Mr.. and Mrs. c.. C. Sladc
will close the house for the summer
and live in Palatka where Mr. Slade
is employed.
f. G. Sackett will leave early the
coming week for Connecticut and
Massachusetts for vacation of some
time with relatives. 1t is 25 years
since Mr.. Sackett made a visit to his
old home and to say that he is look
ing forward longingly to a pleasant
vacation is putting it mildly. He
will be accompanied by his little
daughter who will spend some time
with her married sister in Connecticut.
Holy smoke! What next? Some
one has made complaint that the band
boys at practice in the Borson building
down on the Lake Crescent front Sun
day afternoons are doing something
too wicked for this otherwise beauti-
full way-statioh on the highway to
the happy land, and should be sup

good people-but according to this,
some of us are getting so blamed
good that we are the ones that are

who would "kick" at the band boys

are certainly not interfering with any

spend his Sundays as he sees fit.

North Georgia farmer came to town
He had been hearing good deal
about the autos and was filled with
desire to see one. AS he was in the
act of crossing the crowded street he
heard an unearthly noise and glanc-
ing up quickly he saw big touring
car rounding the corner with the driv-

him flat. Getting to his feet he gazed
