WINDER, JACKSON COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1899.
The New President of
Winder Public School.
Prof. Henry R. Hunt has been elected
president of our city school tor the next
year which begins with the fall term.
He comes to us very highly recommend
ed as a teacher and gentlemau in every
resject. Prof Hunt is a native of our
state and an honor graduate of the
State University. He comes to us not
a9 anew man, but one of experience,
haveng been connected with Jackson
Institute, in butts county, lor the past
three years.
We believe the school will continue
to build up under his management and
become one of the leading educational
centers of the state, There is no
healthier locution for a school than
Winder and we see no reason whv we
should not have a school here of fifty or
a hundred boarders.
In order for any school to succeed
there must be cooperation and a united
effort of the citizens. The teachers and
patrons must understand one another
and work in harmony.
We understand that Prof. Hunt is
coming to be with us sometime before
school begins and get in touch with the
people. Let us all uphold his hands
and assist him in every way necessary
and we believe he is an energetio and
capable young man and we will have
and must have a fine school.
TEE OTHER TEACHERS.
Prof. Weir, who will remain as as
sistant principal of the Winder Public
School has been one of the teachers for
the year just closed. Prof. Weir is a
native of Jackson county and has lived
in the county all his life except while
away at college. He is a young man of
energy, exemplary morals and well
qualified for any position in the school
room. Sinoe his stay in our city of one
year, Prof. Weir has endeared himself
to our people by his dignified and couv
teous bearing and his close application
to his duties. His election to this po
sition will give universal satisfaction
and a bright future is predicted for him
in his chosen profession.
Miss Dora Wilhite needs no iatroduo
tion to oar people, having taught here
one year. She was unanimously elec
ted last Saturday and we feel confident
will sustain her record in the past.
She has few equals in the primary de
partment of any school, and under her
managment parents may rest assured
that every thing will be done to develop
the minds of the little ones. We con
sider this the most important grade in
the school and many educated and qual
ified teachers in other departments are
not fitted to fill it satisfactorily. Miss
Dora has already demonstrated ner abil
ity to fill it and her selection was a good
one.
Ordinary Bradbury was in the city
today. He says the small-pox cases are
all getting on nicely and he is doing
every thing in his power to prevent it
spreading.
Girls Should Propose
New York, June B.—Dr. Hartland Law
of San Francisco lectured before au au
dience of invited guests many of whom
belong to woman’s clubs at Berkley
lyceum. His subject was Higher Phys
ical Conditions and his chief references
were to women.
“I hope to see the day,” he said, “when
a woman sha’l be free to ask the man
she loves to become her husband, as a
man is free to ask the woman he loves
to become his wife. A woman should be
able and wise to choose the father of her
children, and it shall be no social of
fence for her to seek in marriage
as well as to give herself in marri
age.’ ’
“Among the Ozarks.”
The Land of Big Red Apples, is an
attractive and interesting book, with
views of South Missouri scenery. It
pertains to fruit-raising in that great
fruit belt of America, the southern
slope of the Ozarks, and is of interest to
fruit-growers and to every farmer and
homeseeker looking for a farm and a
home. Mailed free. Address,

What Fur.
I’ve got a letter, parson, from my son
away out west.
An, my 01, heart is heavy as an anvil in
my bresfc
To think the boy whose futur I had once
so proudly planned
Should wonder from the path o’right au
come to sich au end!
I tol' him when he loft us only three
short years ago
He’d find himself a-plowiu’ in a mighty
crooked row,
He’d miss his father’s counsels an’ his
mother’s prayers, too;
But he said the farm was hateful an’ he
guessed he’d have to go.
I know thar’s big temptation fur a
youngster in the west
But I believed our Billy had the courage
to resist,
An’ wheu he left I warned him of the
ever waitiu’ snares
That lie like hidden serpints in life’s
pathway everywheres;
But Bill he promised faithful to be keer
ful, an allowed
He’d bnild up a reputation that’d make
us mighty proud.
But it seems as how my counsel sort o’
faded from his mind,
An’ now he’s got in trouble of the very
wustest kind!
His letters came so seldom that I some
how sort o’ knowd
That Billy was a tranpin’ on a mighty
rocky road;
But never once imagined he would bow
my head in shame
An’ in the dust’d waller his ol' daddy’s
honored name.
He writes from oat in Denver, an’ the
story’s mighty short;
I jest can’t tell his mother— it’ll crush
her poor ol’ heart!
An’ so I reckoned, parson, yon might
break the news to her—
Bill’s in the legislature’, but he doesn’t
say what fnr!

The trust doseu’t.trust in God.
The gossipper is the devil’s swill car

The golden rule is as old as the

The trust is provoking a great deal of

Partisan politics is the devil’s most
effective firebrand.
Fanatical partisanship is political ig
norance gone mad.

Christianity is not a creed; it is a grand
uplifting principle.
Idlers are usually gossippers, and gos
sippers are always liars.
The poor man is willing to di
vide his poverty with the rich

Machine politics is sending the
country to the demnition bow

And now the question is, “what
did President McKinley put on Tom
Reed?”
We should neither condemn nor ap
prove a thing simply because somebody
else does.
You needn't lose any sleep about “giv
ing the devil his due,” He’s a mighty
good collector.
The combines get the money, the
politicians get the office, and the
devil will get the whole shootin,

I never could believe that Providence
had sent a few men into the world ready
booted and spurred to ride, and millions
ready saddled and bridled to be ridden.

FOURTH OF JULY
EXCURSION.
r
To Mountains of Seashore
at One and One Third
Fares for the Round
Trip, by the
SEABOARD AIR LINE.
Up country folks and down country
folks need a shake up at least once a
year. The shake up might as well
come Fourth of July as any other day.
Mountain folks need a dash of seaside
and seaside folks need that peculiar
something called “mountain air.”
Fourth of July is kind of a jolly affair
auywow Everybody moves somewhere.
The query, is w here to go? The answer
is found in a glance at the Seaboard Air
Line system. From the waters of the
Chesapeake to the crags and deep trout
pools of the Blue Ridge. This railroad
will put on sale tickets purchasable of
any agent, Jujy 2nd, 3rd aud 4th and
good to return on or before July 7th, at
one and one third fares for the round
trip. Plenty of people will be going,
but such ample accommodation will be
provided that there will be plenty of
room for the children—for the whole
family. There will be no struggle nor
exhaustion incident upon crowding for
those who take their Fourth of July
outing by the Seaboard Air Line.
Rememder, the Fourth of July comes
but once a year. It will never do to
miss the onting.

HENRY A. WISE ON
CHIMNEY ROCK.
What Virginia’s Former
Governor said of this
Famous North Carolina
Crag.
In the midst of one of his impa sioned
speaohes years ago, daring the “Know
Nothing" campaign, the late Henry A.
Wise formerly Governor of Virginia and
perhaps its most eloquent orator stretch
ed himself to his full height and exclaim
ed: ‘Those mountains which lift their
hands to milk the clouds. ” The old chap
was without doubt referring to Chimney
Rock. His index finger was pointing di
rectly at Chimney Rock. Henry A. Wise
is dead, but Chemney Rock still lives.
Henry A Wise is immortal. So is Chim
ney Rock. Chimney Rock.is one of the
boldest of American crags. The Sea
board Air Liue will take you there* It
is only seventeen miles beyond Ruther
fordtou. Railroad ticketsgood over the
stage line. The ride is one of phenom
enal grandeur. The iuus are set cozily
in the recesses of the wild mountain
range. One dollar to two dollars per day.
The beds are clean. The fool is plenti
ful and toothsome. The pools are solitary
and cool and glistening with speckled
trout The leafage of the steeps is a
ceaseless study and solace and stimu
lant The summer thermometer does
light duty, having a“boat’’ of only from
from dO to 81. This means deep sleep
by night and long climbing walks by
day. Everybody wants to walk. But
Honry A. Wise said it all. Summer trur
ist rates from all parts of North Caroli
na. Don’t miss it, men aud brethren.
Inquire of all Agents. , Kif*k”if every
thing is not perfectly comfortable.
Watch the baby get well. Watch the
boy from college get tough as hickory.
If Chimney Rock is anything, it is a
place to set the family up against the
Fall Excusion tickets on all sales at
all Seaboards Air Line thcket offices to
Chimney Rock and return at greatly re
duced rates. _ _
