Not only the people of Layenia with
her able executive editor Mr.. Rush
Burton directing, were concerned in
the entertainment of their visitor:
but the whole of Franklin County and
surrounding towns took a part in the
Inequalities extended so that a round
OF festive andl sightseeing pleasure
were continuous from Monday noon
when the arrival Of the train at Toe
Goa, was saluted by the fire siren and
all other whistles and the banners
there, and all other towns blazened
the cordially of their greetings.
Hosts At Toccoa
While the whole town of Toccoa
were hosts with their cars and person.
al attentions, the main entertainment
after delightful automobile ride of
two hours encircl;ng lthe town, was
that of delightful substantial hot din
ner served at Toccoa Falls Institute
by Rev. and Mrs. r. A. Forrest. the
heads of this wonderful training
school in charge.
One of the dinner speeches was made
by Rev. Forrest who gave in brief
but Illuminating talk the history Of
their school, its origin and its pur-
pose and scope. This was one of the
high spots of the occasion, though
other talks and the splendid music in
the chapel preceding the dinner were
enjoyed also
The Show Place of Toccoa
A home that is beautiful and unique
is the colonial residence and grounds
on the estate of DIR. and Mrs. Jeff
Davis, just out of Toccoa. With means
at their command and a veneration
for the antique, their choice of a de-
s:gn in building is a perfect replica
of Mt. Vernon and has been carried
out to the last detail in finishing and
furnishing. Even the location with its
long sloping' grounds to the front
could almost give the illusion of the
Potomac in the foreground.
Toccoa to Lavonia Monday alter
noon were given the freedom of the
house and grounds, and delicious
punch as near to mint julip as could
possibly be made, and respect the
Volstead act, was served with great
est liberality. Dr. and Mrs. Davis re-
ceived theft, guests with a dignity
fitted to the occasion and Mrs. Davis
was most attractive in Colonial dress.
A large number of matrons and maids
assisted in receiving and ushering
through the beautiful rooms.
Gov. Walker Pleads With Editors
In his address to the Georgia Press
Association the Governor made
strong plea for the editors co-opera-
ton in placing before their readers
the needs OF the states educational
institutions especially the common
schools, and their need of trained
teachers which can only be secured
thru the higher educational instituz'
lions of the State. He spoke of the
tax burdened landowners !. and the
large class of citizens, who escape pay
ing taxes through the invisible prop
erty, which rarely gets on the tax di-
geSt. His advocacy of some form of
an income tax, to reach that class of
citizens most able to pay and who pay
least, was we'll received by the assem-
bled members of the Ga Press Asso-
citation.
