North Carolina’s recent progress

North Carolina undoubtedly has out
stripped any state in the Union. But
there still stares us in the face that

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

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

it is necessary to enact a law requir

THE SEVENTH
GRADE OF 1927
(By Zelma Price.)
Hail! Hail! seventh grade hail! '
Dear old class, let your colors sail!
Ra! ra! seventh grade ra!
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.
Elsewhere in this paper will be
found an ad of the Sylva Hatchery,
advertising baby chicks, they also
hatch your eggs.
