RETIRING V-PRES.
MAKES ADDRESS
Vice-President Marshall, upon his re
tirement from office on March 4th, de
livered an address that is a gem. His
theme was “My Country,” and it is so
replete with tine sentiment that we
publish it:
“I go, but you remain. I leave with
the same inarticulate cry in my soul
with which I came to you: “My
Country.’ It is no new cry for the
American but it has, I fear, myriad
concepts. To some it means broad
acres and fertile fields, to many op
portunity for personal preferment; to
a thoughtless few, the right to utter
every vagrant word which finds lodg
ment in a mind diseased; to the half
educated, that democracy should be
governed, as soon by the infant’s cry
as by the prophet’s warning. But
to me it is but the composite voice of
all the good and wise and self-sacri
ficing souls who trod or tread its soil,
calling for that liberty which is law
encrowned, preaching that doctrine
which seeks not its own but the com
mon good, and. above all, warning us
by the memory of the dead and the
hope of the unborn to close our ears
to the mouthings of every peripathetlc
reformer who tells us that the way to
sanctity the republic is to remove every
landmark which has hitherto marked
the boundaries of national and individ
ual life.
“It is no new religion we need. Our
creed should be: One Lord, one faith,
one baptism—the Lord of justice,
who was with Washington at Valley
Forge, Grant and Lee at Appomattox,
Perishing on the fields of France; the
faith that under a republican form of
government alone, democracy perma
nently can endure: the baptism of that
spirit which will not be content until
no man is above the penalties and no
man beyond the protection of our laws.
“Let him who goes and who stays
remember that he who saves his life
at the loss of his country's honor, los
es it, and he who loses his life for the
sake of his country’s honor, saves it.”

Resigns Pastorate

tor of the First Baptist church, of this

First Baptist church, of this city, are
strenuously objecting to losing their
pastor and it is to be hoped that Mr,
Faust will not leave Winder, though
the eall at Tennille is a most flattering
one. Mr. Faust has not yet reached
a decision in the matter. The News,
together with all our people hope that
he will remain in Winder.
Mr. Faust resigned the pastorate of
the First Baptist church of this city
Wednesday night of this week. While

Bestyette Bakery Has
Moved to Larger And
More Roomy Quarters
The Bestyette Bakery, Winder's
new enterprise, lias moved just above
its former location on Jackson street,
and is now splendidly fitted up to take
car e of its increasing trade. “Winder-
Maid” bread is gaining in popularity
every day and it ought to, as there is
no better bread made anywhere than
right here in Winder. The people of
this city should appreciate their bak
ery and patronize it, especially as its
bread is the equal, if not superior to
any bread made in any other city.
The writter of this article has used
bread made in many of the large cities
of the state and can say emphatically
that the “Windermaid” bread is bet
ter than most any bread we have ever
used, and fully as good as any of it.
We like to boost a home article, and
it gives us special pleasure to sa.v good
things about our bakery for it deserves
it. Try the Winder bread and you
will like it.
R. A. Camp, Chairman
Greater Georgia Tech
Committee for Barrow
Mr. R. A. Camp, of this city, has

branch of the campaign designed to
raise $1,000,000 a year for five years
for the Georgia School of Technology
The campaign will begin April 20 . Tlie
chairman for this county is one of
Winder’s best young business men, and
it is certain that the campaign will
not lag under his direction.
STREET SWEEPER .
FOR THE CITY
The city authorities have bought a
street sweeper for Winder and our
streets will now be kept clean. This
is a step in the right direction, as there
is nothing that adds more to the ap
pearance of a town than clean streets.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY
ABOUT THIS?
The J. T. Strange Cos. is offering any
men’s suit in their store at $25.00,
This is a great loss to this firm, since
many of these suits cost them as high
as $62.50. But they are doing it for
three days—Friday, Saturday and
Monday, according to an advertisement
in this issue.

MONEY IN SWEET POTATOES.
Sweet potatoes could bemadetoyield
a much larger money return to South
ern farmers if there were sufficient
curing and storage houses in the pro
ducing sections, says General Agricul
tural Agent Roland Turner, of the
Southern Railway system.
“There is a growing demand for
Southern sweet potatoes from consum
ers outside the South as well as in the
Southern cities,” declares Mr. Turner,
“and this crop can lie made to bring
much money to Southern farmers if
facilities can tie provided for storing
the potatoes so that marketing can be
spread over the greater part of the year
instead of being confined to the har
vesting season. Plenty of sweet po
tatoes are grown in the Soutli but suf
ficient attention lias not been given to
the marketing feature and to proper
grading.
Several years ago the Southern Rail
way aided in introducing the South
ern sweet potato into northern mar
kets and fids and similar efforts have
created a demand which is not now be
ing supplied. For years Southern
sweet potatoes have txs-n featured on
the menus of Southern Railway Sys
tem dining cars and an increasing de
mand for sweet potato dishes, partic
ularly from tourists travelers, lias de
veloped.
“Plans for the construction of cur
ing and storing houses can lie secured
from the United States Department of
Agriculture or from the state agricul
tural college and the Development Ser
vice of the Southern Railway System
will be glad to assist in every way pos
sible at any point on its lines where
there is interest in sutdi an enterprise.”

cist at the City Pharmacy.

Shall The Nurse In This County Be
Discontinued Or Will Our People
Come To Its Support?
The Red Cross work that has been
inaugurated in Barrow county In hang
ing in the balance and is likely to be
discontinued unless help is speedily
given for its support. There are no
funds with which to continue the work
and the services of Mrs. Ruby Wor
sham, the splendid nurse who has
charge of the work in this county, will
have to be dispensed with unless tin
people render financial assistance ut
once.
The officers 0 f the organization in
this city are Mrs. Robert Camp, chair
man , Mr. Paul Brooksher, vice-chair
man ; Mrs. C. <. Mosley, secretary;
Mr. M. C. Wiley, treasurer; Mr. J.
W Carrington,Jr., publicity chairman.
These ladies and gentlemen are very
much concerned about the future of
the work and are doing their best to
arouse an interest in it. In our issue
of last week, several of Winder’s lead
ing physicians expressed their high ap
preciation of the work being done by
Mrs. Worsham, and they felt that
Barrow county and the city of Winder
should each bear half of the expenses
and thus continue the work.
There is no telling the value of the
Red Cross work hi every community.
Just recently we were reading a little
story about a Public Health Nurse
that impressed us very much. There
had gathered in the court house the
little group of women who had strug
gled and prayed for a public health
nurse for their mountain community.
The men of local Influence, who hud
opposed that struggle, consented at
last to consider the matter. Unmoved,
the men sat; anzious, the women wait
ed during the discussion of the public
Iw-alth nurse, her qualifications, and
the need for her that existed.
Finally, a local doctor ros e and said
slowly, "I don’t know about these pub
lic health nurses, but a regular nurse
came to our town and tended the low
downdest fellow in this county and since
then he ain’t been such a low-down fel
low and his family ain’t been such a
low-down family.”
That simple tribute won the day. The
nurse was employed, going into the
homes of the people of the county,
ministering to them and showing them
the pathway to health and happiness.
The question is up to the people of
Barrow county and the city of Winder.
What will the answer lie?
Williams Donates to Red Cross.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the PaiVnt-Teacher Association, at.
which time ways and means were dis
cussed whereby the salary for the Red
Cross nurse might lie raised, Mr. John
M. Williams, not only expressed a wil
lingness to help, but stated he would
gladly (wy the nurse’s salary for one
month.
This is in keeping with the practical
Christian way in which Mr. Williams
comes to the rescue of any and all good
work.
The new officers, who have under
taken to shoulder this work for anoth
er year, at first met with some dis
couragement and it seemed the work
might have to close for the lack of
funds, but the interest is steadily grow
ing.
All who are interested in maintain
ing flip health of our people in Barrow
county are asked to contribute to this
worthy cause by the first of the month,
whether contributions are great or
small, the same will be appreciated.
