GREATCROWDS AT TENDING REVIVAL Wliat is proving to be one of the greatest revival meetings in the histo ry of Winder is nearing its close at the school auditorium. Rev. Charlie Tillman has held two meetings previously in this city, eight and thirteen years ago. These meet ings are still remembered as an epoch in the church life of our city, but the present meeting, both in point of at tendance and manifestation of spirit ual power, is eclipsing them all. Rarely has such music been heard as is being sung under the leadership of this golden-voiced singer, with the as sistance of two pianos, and two splendid choirs. The remarkable and unique gospel messages are holding-spellbound immense congregations, and are result ing in conversions and new resolves that, ureaiffectlng the life df the entire town. People have been in attendance from as far as Commerce and Pender grass, and the revival fires that have been kindled here will spread through out the county and statu*. It is not a protracted meeting hut is proving to be a rresli revival. One of the great features of the meet ing is fthe work that i* being done for and thru the young people. There is a large junior choir that is attending as faithfully, and entering into the spirit of tte* meeting as ranch as the adult part -of the congregation. Those who were part of that great audience who at rented the children s service Monday night, will not soon forget the scene w’nir at the close, great crowds of cbll dreu’-went to fathers, mothers, pastor or teacher asking their help in leading a Christian life. The song service at this -meeting was unusually attractive. Unusual interest ’is being shown In the -morning services which are being hem daily at D b'rtock. Prayer servi ces-are also being held in the Baraea room,’ten minutes before the evening preaching hour. There will be no ser vices on Saturday, “but in addition to the'Sunday schortl arid regular morning and-evening services. Bro. lillman will preach at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

The reviva lis announced V# Close at the last great meeting on the coming Sunday night . Uncle Richard is one of Barrow's old est and most prominent citizens. He was onetof my grandfather Braselton * closest friends and we*re always glad to have Uncle Richard to drop by to -see us. Messrs. T. A. Denton, J. B. Evans, and W. D. Lancaster, prominent Bar j*ckv county farmers, were in town Sat urday Rev. J. B.

This wheat was made without any guano at all. If ev ery farmer in the four counties of Jack son. Hall, Gwinnett and Barrow would make only one-fonrth of this amount, we eoulh set our own price on cotton. We hope every farmer will go to rais ing more wheat Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, JUNE 23, 1921. BIG DECREASE IN STATE TAX VALUES A Big Slump Is Indicated In Reports of Counties To Comptroller General’s Office. A decrease of $300,000,000 in the tax values of real and personal property in Georgia for li)21 is indicated by the reports that have been received by Comptroller Wright from the tax re ceivers of the state. This means a loss of $1,500,000 in revenue for the state based upon the rate of live mills Contributing further to the gloomy aspects of the state’s tinances is the disclosure that over $400,000 of the 1020 taxes are yet uncollected. Comptroller Wright says that the finances of the state are in worse shape than they have been in during the past 41 years of his administration of his office. The legislature last year appropri ated $9,822,045.84 for various purposes, and flic income of the state for this year will be about $2,000,000 short of this amount. The incoming administration has a knotty problem to solve. G. M. Districts and G. M. Officers In Barrow County. District No. 214.3, Houses. Court 2nd Wednesday in eaeti month. A. I. Lyle, J.

PULLS AUTO OUT OF HOLE, IS ARRESTED Driver of Moving Van Arts Part of the Good Samaritan, But Gets In Trouble. (By Tom Stokes, in Athens Herald) You might call this little episode “The Moving Van That Stopped Mov ing." Or you might cull it something else. But anyhow— Two trucks belonging to* Williams Transfer Company here were coming hack to Athens late Friday afternoon from Atlanta, where they had carried a load of furniture. Along the road between Carl and Auburn the negro driving the truck in front was st<tpl>ed by an autolst in dis tress. There was another man with him. His ear had gone dead. After assuring the negro that he would pay for the pull to Athens, the ear, a Iluiek six roadster, was bitched on behind. * A cavulcade proceeded, the truck pull ing the. eur in front, the other truck some distance in the rear. The chain pulled loose in Winder, right in front of the house of Otis Camp, sheriff. (Re member this fact, reader. The devotee of Sherlock Holmes would call it a clue.) The chain was hooked back, and the Journey proceeded very merrily. About three or four miles from Winder it became evident that the par ty was being pursued, as Sir Walter would have said it. Let the negro driving the truck in the rear speak a little here. “I saw a car a-coming behind us,, and a-coming lik dey meant bus'ness— Dere was fob or five men In her. I. sez to myself, ‘Nigger, you better git out o’ de way, and let ’em hah de road/ Den I saw as dey passed dnt dey was officers. Dey went on to de truck in front and stopped. ~ “Den I saw de two white men run off to de woods. De officers shot two or three times. But de men was done gone. When we got up to de truck de officers lmd done arrested de niggers, and hud taken de car. Anil Lord, man, dere was a pile of liquor bottles in dat car. Dey suid it was a hundred and ten gallons.. I don’t know how much dere was, hut it was a-plenty.” So It happened. The truck, the ne gro driver and his mate, and the auto mobile with its liquor frtdglit were all taken hack t<* Winder, where they were held. The other truck came on to Ath ens, and Mr. Williams was notified. The section was scoured, hut the two men were not found when the last word was heard from Winder. It is rurnoY ed that one was from Athens. Mr. Williams got in communication with the sheriff, and his truck wus brought to Athens Saturday afternoon. The negroes, who were released a fit/ brought to Athens, say that they “aint never gonna pull anything else” until they see what it is carrying. And you can’t blame them. Can you? MOORE’S BOLL WEEVIL TRAP GETS ’EM. Mr. L. L. Moore, of this city, has in vented a boll weevil trap that beats any thing we have ever seen to catch the destructive pests. It straddles the row and shakes the cotton stalk thoroughly and catches the weevil in little troughs thut are provided on the trap. We have been living in South Georgia w'here the boll w’eevil has been destroy ing the cotton for years, and Mr. Moore’s trap is the best we have ever seen. We congratulate Mr. Moore on his invention, for we believe he has invented a machine at a smnll cost that will catch the boll weevils. LECTURE AT OLD COURT HOUSE JUNE 29TH. Mr. W. C.
