We up on Little Ellijay are going to have a large fruit crop this year from the appearance of the bloom. Everybody up here is busy trying to get their crops in, but we are all behind with our work. The spring has been so cold people could not work.
We are in need of a road made up this creek to the Walnut Creek gap so we can get out to Glenville and Sylva and also to the Walhalla, where we could get a higher price for it than we can at Franklin. And then, we could get out crossties and poles and get them to market. But our road is so bad here that we can’t do it.
Mr. Abe Young has moved down to Ed Clore’s. We are glad to have him in our community. He takes out fire when you get burnt and cures the babies with the thrash and stops blood all by a charm.
Mr. J.P. Clouse of Franklin has been visiting C.G. Mincy and family for the last few days.

Editor’s Note—This correspondent wants the commissioners to build a road so that the citizens of upper Ellijay may trade in other counites. Be that as it may, upper Ellijay should have a road.
Incidentally, Mr. Young must be a charming man.
