BELL OVERALL'CO.
TO BE REORGANIZED
Negotiations Are in Progress Now Look
ing to the Settling of the Affairs
of This Company Satisfac
tory.
While we cannot speak authoritative
ly it looks like the Bell Manufact
uring Company will soon be in opera
tion again.
A meeting of the stockholders was
held Tuesday in Winder for the purpose
of considering the affairs of the com
pany and of furthering if possible the
negotiations that have been in prog
ress for some time looking to a settle
ment of the affairs of the Bell Com
pany and of resuming operation. Most
of the former directors were re-elected
and while the nffairs of the company
are still in the hands of the courts it is
very likely that a settlement will be af
fected in a short time.
At this meeting Mr. John M- Wil
liams was elected president, who will
take charge of the affairs of the com
pany and direct its destiny as soon as
the courts turn it back to its owners.
This entire section is very much in
terested in seeing the Bell Overall com
nany on its feet and operating again.
It means employment for many people,
and a large addition to the business ac
uities of this city.
We hope to be aide to announce pos
itively in just a short time that a set
tlement has been affected and that the
Bell is ready to begin work again.

Boys’ Camp Planned.
For several mouths the Boys Depart
ment of the Methodist Men’s club has
been working on plans for a summer
outing for the boys department of the
Sunday school. This is always the
great event of the year for the red
blooded boy, and when properly direct
ed, puts a great deal into his life. Af
ter examining the claims of many sec
tions of North Georgia, the committee
believes that they have found the most
desirable place in the country. This
-ite has excellent bathing facilities,
wonderful fishing, and is unexcelled for
natural beauty. There will be cot
tages for shelter, as well as tents, and
at least thirty boys can be accommo
dated. The camp will be situated near
tlie historic gold mines, in the neighbor
hood of Dahlonega. It will be welcome
news to the girls’ department that a
camp is also being arranged by the
Camp-fire girls to follow that of the
boys.
Safety and instruction are promised
as well as enjoyment. Rev. L. W. Col
lins, who has conducted two very suc
cessful camps at Jefferson, will he in
charge. Mr. J. F. Broome, who has
been with the Y. Jd. C. A. camps for
several years ut Athens, has turned
down a flattering offer, this year to be
with the Winder young people, as camp
director.
Athletics will not be neglected and
will be in charge of ('apt. John W. < ur
rington and M. C. Wiley. Messrs. Carl
and Paul Brooksher have donated the
camp site for the use of the young peo
ple and complete plans and dates will
be announced as soon as they can be
arranged.

Williams Bros. Conduct
ing First Class Cafe
One day last week, our wives .being
gone from home and we had nothing to
L-at we decided to try out the Williams
Bros, restaurant, and we must admit
we were agreeably surprised at the
variety of dishes and the manner in
which it was served. Williams Bros,
art* serving one of the best regular
dinners we have ever seen at 35 cents.
We were served with vegetables, chick
en, chicken dressing, sweet potatoes,
English peas, corn muffins and loaf
bread, hot rolls, strawberry short cake,
and other things—at least a dollur’s
worth at some places—for 35 cents.
Then, too. we were surprised at the
number of business men and women
who go there for regular dinners. It
reminded one of a real city restaurant.
Job T. and Pearl Williams are known
as up-to-date restaurant men and are
proving it with well-prepared food at
a very small price. Their short orders
are also very inviting and reasonable
in price. They have had many re
quests that they put on this regular
dinner for Sunday, but haven’t fully
decided yet to do so. If you haven’t
been around to the Williams Cafe you
will be surprised when you do go, if
you have been under the impression
that it is just an ordinary eating place
with the usual number of dead heads
hanging around discussing the league
of nations, etc. Nothing like this in
rhe Williams Bros, restaurant. We
really enjoyed our dinner there.
State Superintendent of
the Red Cross in Winder
Miss Beatrice Daniel, State Super
intendent of Putdic Health Nursing of
the Red Cross Division, honored Win
der with another very pleasant visit.
Miss Daniel has visited Winder at
three months’ intervals for tlie past

interest and active work in the Red
Cross Chapter on this visit than at
any previous time.
She attended the Benefit party giv
en at the home of Mrs. Paul Roberts
and was delighted with tlie interest the
people showed. Ladies came early,
some played cards, while others sewed.
The men came later and were served
a delicious salad course with ice tea.
At this party more than fifty dollars
were raised.
Miss Daniel also met with the Wom
an’s Cluli while in Winder and gave a
very instructive talk on public health
work. She considers Barrow county
chapter one of tlie best in the state of
Georgia.
Dr. L. W. Hodges has moved his of
fice over the City Pharmacy. 4t.

While Judge John N. Ib> |< was
watching the athletic performances
he remarked, “People are still thrill
ed with physical skill and power. They
love the strong man. They enjoy base
ball, foot ball, and all such sports as
we are having today. The history of
the world is a history of wars. Even
in peace pursuit, people admire the
tighter. That may sound paradoxical,
hut it is a verity. They admire the
politician or the legislator who is a
serappea - . People love contests, add
nowhere do they manifest greater in
terest than in these physical and ath
letic contests.” While a student at
Martin Institute, and later in college
Judge Ross took great interest in ath
letics.
That reminds us that his brother,
Dr. S. T. Ross, of Winder, was the
champion wrestler of his day. No man
could “dirt his back.” Frank Shack
elford of Athens was the swiftest run
ner our county hail ever developed.
Frank won in every foot race while a
student of the University of Georgia.
Carl R. Thompson was the greatest hind
catcher then who ever stood behind a
bat. He caught the balls with his open
hand, and he wore no mask over his
face, nor any protector on his breast.
About this time there were many oth
er splendid athletics in Martin Insti
tute, but the above named were the
great champions.
The resolutions introduced by Pro
fessor Cash of Winder, and unani
mously passed, thanking the people of
Jefferson for their hospitality and royal
treatment of the visitors, are highly
appreciated by the people of this city.
It was the sincere desire of the people
of Jefferson that every visitor should
have a home and he well cared for, and
if any one was neglected it was certain
ly not the Intention of the people here.
We can boast of the hospitality of the
people of Jefferson, and we appreciate
the delegates so saying in their resolu
tions.
We have no doubt that Carpenter of
Winder, Chattin of Canton, and Mad

Winder Hi Defeats
Christian College and
Auburn Lads-11 to 2
The Winder High Ramblers liuve
started rambling again. Last week
they journeyed up to Auburn to play
Auburn High School on the Christian
College diamond. On arriving they
saw a mixture of Auburn High, Chris
tian College and Auburn citizens al
ready in battle array, but K'4 was not
afraid or nervous for he bad up his
sleeve a trump in a dark horse twirier
from the sophmores, Hon. Woodfln Hill.
“Smugger Fritz” pitching his first
game for Winder, performed grandly,
pulling himself out of some had holes,
the Auburn Lads getting only 5 hits
off of him. Several times during the
first inning did Hill allow Auburn to
get tlie bases loaded but by masterly
pitching and flue playing on the part
of Winder boys they only scored once.
Tin- Winder boys drove four pitchers
from the mound. They started by get
ting 4 runs the first inning off a (fiiris
tian College student, the next two were
Auburn lads and the last was an Au
burn citizen. Jacobs starred in the in
field for Winder robbing the Auburn
Lads two liners and assisted in two
double plays. McWhorter starred In
the outfield. The heavy four went
wild with the stick, Jacobs getting 1
>ut of 5, Moseley 2 out of 5, Whitley
3 out of 5, and Carpenter 4 out of 5.
Only one error was marked up against
the Winder lads. The final score wus
11 to 2 In favor of Winder.
These boyß have a fast team and
have a few games scheduled for Valley
Park. Watch for the dates and come
out and see the Ramblers go.
