From Brother Davidson

There are at least two things that a preacher really ought not to do. One is to collect his own salary, another is to be the spokesman in matters concerning the upkeep of the house in which he lives, for it often seems that he only has personal and selfish motives in matters of this kind. But as it seems that no one else will take the lead in the matter of repairing the parsonage, it falls my lot to do so. Therefore I am asking that the trustees together with the committee of ladies meet at the parsonage on Saturday afternoon, March 17^th at 2:00 o’clock to investigate the needs of the parsonage.

The trustees of the parsonage are as follows: B. B. Fite, B. H. Stone, C. Y. Rogers, J. W. Jones, J. M. Allison, Ed Bryant, T. N. Duncan, Reid Burnett, C. A. Duvall, Love Hamby, and J. B. Legg. The committee of ladies are as follows: Mrs. Eula Colwell, Mrs. J. W. Jones, Mrs. J. D. Miller, Mrs. Ada Rogers, Mrs. W. A. Rogers, Mrs. T. N. Duncan, Mrs. U. S. Cobb, Miss Grapelle England and Miss Dollie Totherow.

I want to urge that each of the above named parties be present. I want to reemphasize a former statement that since all the churches get the benifit of the pastor’s services, that each church is responsible for the upkeep of the parsonage. It has been more than a month since the First Quarterly Conference and yet no stops have been taken toward the needed repairs of the parsonage and so if the matter is delayed much longer the year will slip away and nothing be done. I believe that a preacher’s service ought to be appreciated enough to furnish bread and meat and a comfortable place in which to live.

A Correction

After printing the notice of the Tax Receiver in this issue of the news we find that we have made and error in the dates he will be at Ivy Log and Gum Log. The correct dates are Ivy Log the 23^rd and Gum Log the 24^th.

$100. Reward $100.

Since it has been reported that I once made a false affidavit (swore a lie) before N. C. Forrester and since some of my dear friends (?) are very anxious to find said affidavit, I will pay the first person producing such affidavit One Hundred Dollars ($100.) This is to make the game more interesting.

W. N. Clement

Young Cane, GA

(This is the reason that this particular newspaper was found in an old trunk that once belonged to Elbie Dills Clement. She was the wife of William Narvie Clement. I was unable to find out many details about why Narvie Clement offered such a tremendous reward for such affidavit, but I do know that it was in relation to property boundaries at Mt. Pleasant 1 Church. The N. C. Forrester listed in this section was the father-in-law to Narvie’s sister, Vesta Clement Forrester. I can only conclude that Narvie was eminently sure that no such document existed due to the amount of the reward…$100.00 in 1928 was a tremendous amount of money at that time. He was confident enough to post this amount, therefore asserting his innocence in this situation.)

Route 2 News

Mr. Monroe Towery made a very interesting talk at Zebulon Sunday School Sunday.

Mr. Grady Plott, of Gum Log, was a visitor in our Section Sunday.

Mr. H. D. Elliott has bought a young team of mules, and Frank seems to like to drive them as he was out taking a wagon ride Sunday.

We are sorry to report Mrs. Lillie Ross on the sick list at this time, but hope she will soon be on the road to recovery.

Mr. Roy Jordon spends most of his time Sundays at the home of Miss Nettie Plott.

[Small town newspapers tell a lot about the people that live there…obviously ROY JORDON and NETTIE PLOTT were courting, as evidenced by this quote. Curiosity got the best of me and I researched the 1930 census…sure enough, there was “Ray F. Jardon” (age 21 NC) and “Nettie Gardon” (age 23 GA) listed as living in Blairsville in household #72 on Young Harris Road. (Ancestry.com had these spellings of the names in their index. The actual census was badly faded, which is probably why this was the best the indexer could do in making out the names.)]

The people of this section are glad to learn that Mr. Frank Duckworth has opened up a new store in Blairsvile.

Uncle Jim Lovell was a pleasant visitor at the home of Mr. Geo. Stephens one day last week.

Rev. Harve Stephens will preach at Zebulon next Sunday, March 18^th.

Messers Geo. Stephens and Grady Plott were visitors at the home of Mr. Jess Thomas Sunday afternoon.

Prof. G. Price Brown attended services at Philadelphia church in Upper Young Cane Sunday.

Tilman Clement, student here, spent the week end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Clement, of Young Cane. (This should actually read W. N. Clement.)

We are glad to say that both services were well attended. The people are picking up in church attendance which speaks well for the Blairsville folks.

Messers Wade Allen and Glen Allen, of Mineral Bluff, were in our town last week on business. Wade is a live Insurance agent and has sold a great deal of insurance in this county. He represents a good company, the State Life Insurance Company.

We are in recept of a copy of the Fannin County High school Commencement program printed by the Sword Printing Company, and must say the programs are fine.

Mr. Glenn Hemphell, of Morganton, was here the first of the week. Glenn left a wheel for the old hometown paper a year.

Mrs. Mary Foster, and little son, Warren, of Brookton, spent several days here last week visiting relatives. We are always glad to see Mrs. Foster back among her old friends.
