FUN FROLIC AND AND OTHERWISE AT WINDER HI SCHOOL Miss Clayton: Bertram, when was the revival of learning? Bertram : Just before the last exams. There are meters of accent, And meters of tone, But the best of all meters Is to meet her alone. —Sir Sid’s Opinion “The bursting buds, the blushing roses, the approaching finals and the accumulating zeros announce the ar rival of spring.” Member of the Senior class —Mr. Cash, grammatically speaking which is correct to say ‘I shall be or I will be’ under restrictions? Mr. Cash—The present tense is cor rect. You are under restrictions. In Honor of ‘Tete.” One of the most enjoyable social events of last week end was the picnic given at Reeves Mill by Messrs. Wood lin Hill, Hubert Reeves and Sam Au try in honor of Miss Edith House, pres ident and valedictorian of the senior class. The guests left abut 4 :30 Friday af ternoon and after arriving at the mill spent several hours in swimming, hunt ing wild flowers and having a good time in general. About sunset a deli cius lunch was served on the banks ot the river. Those enjoying the hospitality were Misses Imogene Herrin, Lila Moore, Elise Starr, Edith House, Annie Lee McDonald, Gladys Eavenson, Frances Hubbard, Margaret Walker, Mars (Juacterman and Gertrude Mott and Messrs. Legree Jacobs, Hearst Bagwell, Frank Bondurant, Harod Starr, Kinch Carpenter, Cay Camp, Alton Young, and Charles Harris. The party was chaperoned by Misses Alma Haygood, Christine Clayton and Sarnmie Davis. This picnic was the first of the social events that will be given in the near future in honor of the members of this years’ graduating class. On our way to school one (lay, We made up to stay away, We went wading in the pool, And played “liookie” from the school. Then we rambled ‘round the park Didn’t get home till nearly dark. All our mammas had big straps"— ‘Xough said. On April Fool day, the citizens of Winder smiled as they saw a large number of the student body ot Winder High riding around over town and having a good time. It possibly reminded them of the good old days when they played bookie from the old school. There Is no doubt but that everyone of the “evilders” enjoyed their little game of hookie, but the facuty equally en joyed their little game of punishment meted out to the miscreants. Monday morning at recess a sad looking bunch was assembled on the campus. The seniors had gloomy expressions on their faces for they were informed that the only privilege that had been grant ed them would be taken away and that they would not be given a school day for the class picnic, but that it would have to occur on Saturday, if at all. y n visitor should come to Winder High a strange sight would greet his eyes. He would see Freshmen, Soph omores and Juniors walking al>out over the building and campus with copies of Gray’s Elegy written in a country church yawl in their hands, trying to commit it to memory and feeling sore at the fellow who first started the game of Hookie. The members of the graduating class thought that the consequences which they were to suffer were perfectly aw ful. but when the form of punishment was read out for the lower classmen, all of them exclaimed “Gee! I'm glad I’m a Senior.” Sacred Harp Singing There will l)e an all-day Sacred Harp singing at the First Baptist church in Winder Sunday. April 17th. All are in vited. old and young, and are request ed to bring all the old Sacred Harp song books they can find. Call us for your cream and drinks; fast delivery service: call us and be convinced.

Tips year will bring unsettled times, because of readjusting the merchant princes need their dimes, and they’ll be slow at trusting. They’ll not give credit left and right as lately they’ve been doing, and frowns will greet the slow-pay weight wlio'd buy a plug of chewing. And many men this year, I guess, will need a slice of credit, for read justment brings distress—the bank ing sharps have said it. Now he who’s kept his stand—off bright will know the easy sledding and mer chant princes will delight to sell him books or bedding. However strin gent money is, the lamps for him are burning; to see his good old hon est phiz, the merchants all are yearn ing. And if he asks to buy on time a grindstone or a hammer, the leal ers 'on his person climb, with glad, exultant clamor. There’ll never be a time so tight that men of reputa tion for having always acted right, can’t get accommodation. A repu tation as good pay is better far than rubies, and men who do not think that way must travel with the boo bies. The melancholy days are here suspended “tick” will daunt them; and bills they should have paid last fall will rise like ghosts and haunt them. (By Walt Mason, taken from the New York Tribune.)

LOVE, HONOR AND BEHAVE AT STRAND Both Married and Unmarried Will Get Tickled. —Here for Two Days Thursday and Friday. A departure from Mack Sennet com edy tradition is promised in the “Love Honor and Behave” vehicle which will be shown at The Strand Theater two clays this week, Thursday and Friday. Charlie Murray, hero of a inilion ep isodes, will be introduced in a role of legitimate appeal. He will imperson ate a "grave and reverend” Judge of the Supreme Court, playing the part with dignity and power. This revolu tionary role will be revealed in the opening scenes of the story when Jus tice* and Romance will come in contact, Marie Prevost, a bride, and George O’Hara, her young husband, appear be fore “Judge” Murray, carrying to the halls of justice the fragrance of a ro mance about to die. Here, it is point ed out, is a sincere and authentic pic ture of dramatic material, treated in a sympathetic and dignified manner, with ever so slight a wink of tin* eye on the part of the learned jurist. Not long, however, does the plot remain in the atmosphere of staid drama, for the jurist, in order to convince the jealous bride of the innocence of her bride groom, tells a story of his own expe rience when he too was a bridegroom; the said story's purport being to dis credit circumstantial- evidence. It is this story that forms the bulk of the episodes depicted in “Love, Hon or and Behave”—episodes that bring Murray to his traditional characteri zations in hilarious fun and thrilling predicaments. Murray’s story which is seen on the screen but spoken to her, convinces the piquant Marie of the in justice of her suspicions and the in tegrity of her husband's love. It in cidentally bears a moral for tbe mar ried and the unmarried, but mainly it promotes mirth, unrestrained laughter and genuine thrills. Increased Church At tendance in Winder. The completion of a number of the highways leading into Winder lias ma terially increased attendance upon the church services of our town. The country people are gradually learning that they have a royal welcome to the churches of Winder; that they can help materially in building th e right sort of civic life, and they are availing them selves of the oportunities of attending preaching oftener than once month. We cordially welcome the good roads and the country people. Come as of ten as you can, the oftener the better, and a wide-open, old-fashioned country welcome awaits you every Sunday in every one of our progressive and up to-date churches.

The organization has been worked up in this county by Mr. Robertson, the Comity Agent. WATSON, GLOVER & [CO. ENJOYING GOOD CASH TRADE NOW Asa proof that advertising pays, just go round to Watson, Glover & Cos. store on Jackson street and notice the splendid trade they are enjoying even in these hard times.

WHY NOT OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY? The soldiers of the lost cause are get ting scarce in the country. This is a memorable (lay in Southern life. A country is known by the way it looks after its living and its dead. Some of our organizations like the Parent-Teacher association or others should plan to have appropriate exer cises on April 26th. It would mean much to the city and our people gener ally. Loyalty to country and genuine patri otism should be emphasized now of all times.

An Interesting Coin Mr. C. L. Tucker .showed us a most, interesting old coin one day this week. It was made in 1407, just after Colum bus discovered America. It is a Span ish coin and was plowed up on Mr. Tucker’s farm, a few’ miles from Win der, several years ago. It is of gold and about the size of a twenty dollar gold piece of American money. No doubt, this coin was lost by one of the followers of DeSoto who came to this country some years after it was dis covered and passed through this sec tion. It is a curious old Spanish coin and Mr .Tucker prizes it very highly SALVATION ARMY. The Salvation Army visited Winder Wednesday and made talks to many of our citizens on the streets.
