But there still stares us in the face that eddcation i# our most pressing heed. Agriculture has always been the basic industry of all people. It means food and clothing. And today is the basic industry of North Carolina af fording a livelihood to 60 per cent of our people. There should be a diver sification of all crops. If we are to curtail the ever in creaang fatal accidents occurring on our highways, the time has come when, in the interest of public safety, it is necessary to enact a law requir ing the registration of person driving motor vehicles: " I. believe in the beautification of . our State highways. The State high way commission should plant trees," shrubs ancLgrass along our most im ... portant highways. The most serious phase of our tax problem arises in connection with local taxation.

Laugh and he gay with a ha! ha! Why are you so happy, the other peo ple say? Why dear people ( we’re nearly through with our elementary task. The last round of the ladder we al most have made, And soon we’ll reach the bar and enter (the) a high school grade. But still we’re very sorry our dear old class to leave, And our dear teacher, Mr. Penland, to leave him our hearts do grieve. But a!l these scenes we soon will leave behind, But the memories of our dear old class will linger ever in our mind. Yes, the fondest memories will linger for you ever, Dear old class of 1927, we will for get you never. Yes, we remember how in 'the long ago, How we struggled through the grades, with many a friend, and yes, a foe. Yes, we remember how some little tots with black and brown and golden hair. Once gathered together in a little band from far and near and everywhere. Then we struggled upward through many and many a grade; But ’twas not in vain, for you see the seventh grade we’ve made. And sometimes I wonder when to men and women we have grown; What will our life tasks be for the labors we have sown, There may be a doctor, a judge, and lawyer too, And teachers and poets. Oh, the grades like us are very, very few. Oh come, oh come, and join our band! For we’re marching on to victories land. There’s a spark of fire in each shin ing bright eye,/ That says we’re bound to win, and that spark would never tell a ROADWORK GOING FORWARD IN TOWNS CO. The State Highway Department of Georgia just recently placed a large force of State convicts to work on the Young Harris-Hiawassee road, with camps situated at Wood’s Grove springs. It is understood that this force will be kept on this road until grading is complete from Young Harris through Hiawassee connecting with the Federal Government road through the Ulnicoy Gap. It is also understood that a hard surface will be put on either waterbound maca dam or something of that nature. The people of Towns County have co-op erated with the highway department in selecting this good camp site, fur nishing a- house on the site for of fices. It is to their interest to do this for these northern counties of Geor gia are like Clay, they have no rail road with which to get their products to market. This road will mean much to north Georgia in several respects. It will not only give them an all year road for trucking theid resources to market, but will open up this beauti ful mountain country to summer tourist, and when they come and see this country, like other parts of the mountains where good roads have been built, and let the people in some are going to buy homes and stay. We people of Clay County are also interested in seeing roads being built in north Georgia for when people come in there, they will soon find the good roads in North Carolina and will come to see our beautiful moun tain country, which is unsurpassed any where. Sylva Farmers To Raise Chicks ^ On Large Scale SYLVA, Jan. 6.—The Sylva hatch ery, an outgrowth of the Tuckaseegee Poultry Association, will be opened here some time next week by Roy Allison, J. R. Jones and Gilmer Moody with a 7,000 capacity Newton tripple deck incubator. The poultry association was organ ized by a small group of business men and farmers five years ago for the purpose of importing pure bred chick ens. The poultry business in the county has steadily grown since then until now it is thought there are enough pure bred chickens to provide eggs for a hatchery. Farmers of this section will have the opportunity to have eggs hatched for their own use, as the hatchery will do custom hatching.—Asheville Times. Mr. Roy Allison above referred to was formerly a Clay County citi zen, he having moved to Sylva some years ago to engage in the hardware business in which he has made a suc cess and this paper wishes him as great a success in this new enterprise.
