A HISTORY OF ROME AND FLOYD COUNTY
TIDING THE FARMER OVER THE CRISIS.
The pictures above show scenes at Rome's curb market, started in 1921 by the Woman's Auxiliary of the Chamber of Commerce, with Mrs. Bessie B. Troutman in charge, and one of the first trading meccas in Georgia under the new plan, which seeks to remove the farmer from the influence of exploiters and put him in a position to make a living by direct trading at a fixed price.
Girl Scout Organization .- The Rome Council, Girl Scouts of America, was organized Nov. 11, 1921, with Mrs. Howard Hull as commissioner. In October, 1922, the officers were as follows: Mrs. W. H. Lewis, commissioner; Mrs. J. Paul Cooper, deputy commissioner; Mrs. Wm. Winston, deputy commissioner; Mrs. R. L. Wilson, secretary; Mrs. S. B. Norton, treasurer.
The Eecutive Committee was made up of the officers and Mrs. J. H. O'Neill and Mrs. C. Bryant Graves.
In 1921 John and Will Ledbetter, representing the Cloudland Park Corpora- tion, developers of the mountain resort known as Cloudland, Chattooga County, gave a ten-acre tract of land to the Cherokee Council of Boy Scouts at Cloudland, for camp purposes. They also presented a site some distance away from the Boy Scout camp for the girls' summer playground, and this latter is now known as Camp Juliette Lowe, after the Scout leader from Savannah by that name. Miss Dorris S. Hough, of Southern Regional headquarters, 84 Marietta Street, Atlanta, is in charge. Mrs. J. P. Cooper, Mrs. J. H. O'Neill and Mrs. W. H. Lewis represented the Rome Council in the negotiations and construction.

A few shacks were built by the boys in 1921, and in 1922 others were added. The girls have an assembly hall, 40x72 feet. The grounds of each camp are high and healthful, and each season finds larger numbers of Scouts attending. The length of stay is usually two weeks. Ample facilities are offered for bathing and athletic games, in addition to the Scout programs.
Rome is proud of the second girl in Georgia to receive the order of the Golden Eaglet. She is Virginia Robert Lipscomb, of Troop 2.

The departure of Rev. Geo. E. Bennett in the summer of 1922 for Florida left a vacancy in the Scout executive's office which was filled by the selection of W. A. Dobson; and the death Sunday, Sept. 24, 1922, of Robt. W. Graves, presi- dent of the Cherokee Council, caused a vacancy in that position. Mr. Graves was 51 years old. He was buried Tuesday, Sept. 26, in Myrtle Hill cemetery, Rome.
