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. Col. H. H. Chandler Locates in Winder Col. H. H.

The present campaign is on for the purpose of doubling the capacity of the school and enabling it to be of far greater value to the people of the state. i'lie following executive committee will have charge of the campaign in Barrow county: •I.

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 year and says she has found more real 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. NEWS ITEMS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS Items of Interest To Our Many Readers Gathered From Our Exchanges From Adjoining Counties Jackson County. (Herald) 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 dox of I.awrenceville, will win at the State meet.

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. K’4.
