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.” White Way Of Winder To Be Completed Soon The stands for Winder’s white way have arrived and are now being erected over the business part of the city. Our streets will now have the appearance of an up-to-date city, and will make a splendid impression upon all visitors. Winder is already the best town of its size in this section of the state or any where else hi Georgia and she is con tinuing to go forward in a substantial way. Mr. W. E.

E. GRIFFETH, City Clerk 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.

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.” Yur prescriptions are carefully lill ed by a reliable and licensed pharma cist at the City Pharmacy. THE STRAND THEATER PROGRAM MONDAY. March 21—H. B. Warner, in “THE WHITE DuVE.” TUESDAY—Enid Bennett, in ‘What Every Woman Learns. Ruth of Rockies WEDNESDAY, March 23. THEATER CLOSED. 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. Dr. S. Y. Jameson Dead I>r. H. V. Jameson, a prominent Bap tist minister, ami at one time Secretary of the Baptist State Mission Board, and also for several years president of Mercer University, died at his home in Atlanta Tuesday night after a short illness of acute indigestion.
