w. r. Cobb came to Walhalla
last Thursday for the first time in
quite while, he having been con-
fined to his home with a severe at
tack OF rheumatism and threatened
pneumonia for month or more.
While Mr.. Cobb shows decided traces
of his severe suffering, still he is re-
covering his health in a most salts
factory manner and will soon be quite
himself again.
The COurier'S banner subscriber
at present is Sloan Y. Stribling, of
Roswell, Ga, who last week sent us
a remittance for his paper which
carried him as paid up to May /,
1919. This is a remarkable pecul-
iarity about Mr.. Stribling and his
manner of dealing with The Courier
He generally pays five years at
time, renewing his subscription just
before the five years which he paid
for before expires. Such men are ap-
preciated by the publishers Of any
paper.

as the Gregg place, and is only about
two miles northeast of town. He will

new place. We cordially welcome
these good people to our section. He

Walter J. Blanchett, who has

anticipated early departure. Mr..
Blanchett also has two brothers, Os-
car and Calvin Blanchett, and a bro

j. l.. Hall, OF Walhalla Route
No. 2, is one Of the most prompt
paying subscribers on The Couriers 8
list And he is no less progressive
and energetic than he is prompt. If
the time for paying his subscription
to The Courier slips up on him he
makes a special trip to pay the bill
on the day his subscription would eX-
pire, but he generally gets here n day
or two earlier, thus keeping himself
one year in advance. Yet J. l.. Hall
is not rich man. Nevertheless he
is certainly one OF the coming
kind" We can recall, few years
ago, when Mr.. Hall drove a little
black mule, his only motive power on
the farm. and he rented the land he
cultivated. 1t is different now, how
ever. Some few years back Mr.. Hall
bargained for 208 acres Of land, and
this he has paid for in full, and be-
sides has built a comfortable house
on his place. Hc started with abso-
lutely nothing, and to-day he works
on his place three good mules, all
owned by him and paid for. Mr. Hall
is 42 years Of age. The dollar he
paid The Courier was the last dollar
he owed-and he didn't owe that.
He paid his subscription in advance.
He says he never buys anything ex-
cept fertilizers on credit, and he
doesn't like TO do that, but that he
can't always have on hand enough
money to finance his crop year
ahead. Mr.. Hall represents that
ideal person we always find pleasure
in picturinG-"the good farmer"
May his tribe increase!
