Work was begun some time ago on the rebuilding of the Winder Oil Mill which was burned some months ago. The work is being pushed rapidly and the mill will be in full operation by Oc tober Ist. The Winder Oil Mill is one of the most profitable enterprises of its class in the state and grew' from a small beginning some years ago into one of the largest mills in this section.

Winder Citizens Spend a Pleasant Day At Lakemont in the Mountains (W. H. Faust.) ' Tuesday of last week, the writer, \\ . A. Brooks, >rw. W. A. Brooks, the broth er anil'niece of Mr. Brooks, Mr-. W . H. Faust, Morgan Wages. Mrs. Cliff Wages anil Miss Etsel Wills started . ter Lakemont, the popular North Geor-; gia so miner resort for a day s picnic . and opting. Leaving Winder at 5:30, we traveled via Jefferson, Commerce, Homer, Hol lingsworth, Cornelia, Demorest,' Clarks ville and Tallulah Falls over roads that were anything hut good. A fair stretch from Winder to the Jackson couii.y line, another good stretch from Jefferson to, Commerce and thence on ward from Bad to worse. But what are had roads to folks mountain bound. i 'rips were good along the rout' 1 , and one was greatly impressed with the amount of peaches, apples, peas, corn, at and chickens growing along the en tire route. Certainly, people are plan ning as never before to eat and live. Reaching Tallulah Falls at 9:30 we stopped over and viewed the splendid mi untain scenery, the great dam that holds hie wa'ter to supply the electric ity for light and power that the news papers have so much to say about all over Georgia. Cliff House was in full blast. Large numbers of people there eating, playing cards and mountain strolling, enjoying themselves thoroughly. The recent tire destroyed the greater' part of the town and it is not being built back very rapidly. ' The Tallulah Falls Industrial school, run by the club women of Georgia is located there and it is doing much good for the children of that immedi ate section. Few finer views are to be had any where in America than that of the gorge and rugged mountains just back of the Cliff House. But when the big dam was put in it ruined the falls en tirely and, of course, that hurt Tallu lah Falls as a summer resort. Leaving the falls we Journeyed on northward toward Clayton. Just a few miles on our road we crossed the rail road over a bridge and then crossed <e river. Some fifty yards below the bridge is the prettiest water falls in Georgm. The river, smooth and pla -1 a little above, begins to break for the lower country and rushes through a narrow gorge over rocks, churning it- ®ll \t WJtokt Mem ' AND THE BARROW TIMES SEND IN LOCAL NEWS We will appreciate it very much if our readers will send in any vis itors they may have at any time in the city.

Smith sympathize with them sincerely in the death of their little daughter which occurred Wednesday It was a most beautiful and lovable babe and its parents are grief-stricken on account of their loss. GEORGLVS FIRST BALE COTTON. The first larie of cotton for the sea son of 1921-22 was received in Savan nah Tuesday of this week and sold at public outcry at the cotton exchange. It graded strictly low middling, green and gin cut, and brought 68 cents per : pound, the highest price in ten years, except the season w’lieu the first bale brought $1.38 a pound. It was bought by Middleton A Peterson. The hale was grown by A. B. Rog ers, of Moultrie, Ga„ and was consign ed to the E. A. Cutts Company, Savan nah. Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Maughou, of Gainesville, were the guests this week of the former's mother, Mrs. S. T. I Manghon. -elf into an intensely white foam and -etting up a spray, iu which innumera ble rainbows can be seen. As I stood with bared head and watched this splendid scene, Lanier’s immortal lines came afresh to me with new and potential meaning: ••But, Oh! Not the hills of Habersham, And, Oh.! Not the valleys of Hall Avail! For lam fafn to water the plain Downward the voices of duty call, Downward to toil and he mixed with the main, For the wide fields burn and the mills are turn, Anil myriad flowers mortally yearn, Anil the lordly main from beyond the plain Calls o'er the hills of Habersham, Calls through the valleys of Hall. ’ And the challenging call of the lord ly plains is heard and answered by the I waters, and in Mie response there is beauty and power, life and blessings, flowers ami fruits. We had a delightful lunch prepared by the ladies of the party and then for awhile reveled in the beautiful scenery around the lake. There are few more-ideal places to camp and spend a few quiet vacations days than around the beautiful bor ders of this placid mountain lake, f Numbers of auto parties visit it dai ly; boating is fine and fishing is su perb if one can believe the stories that the fishermen tell. Four hours easy driving in a Ford will put a man and his family in touch with mountain scenery ns fine as can he found anywhere in the country. An outing for a day or so will bring great loy to the entire family. The cost can lie met for the priee of tobacco and coca ;cola for a few months and the worth of the trip will always be appreciated 'cut off a few baseball games and a lit tle chewing gum and tobacco, and go up for a day or so. If possible, get W. A. Brooks to go on the trip with you If you decide to take It this summer. His facaetious comments on thlpgs in general, and the scenery in particular will keep you roaring with laughter continually. By all sorts of reasoning there should be a good highway built to these moun tains, and if the Georgia legislature wants to make itself famous, it should get busy and have such a highway con structed and named the “Legislature Highway.” Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, July 28, 1921.

A SUNDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS Many people when away o n their va cations leave their religion at home, and Sunday is spent in the same kinds of frolic as are indulged in on the oth er days of the week. Such has not been true of our boys camp. During the week we have hiked and pluyed ball. This morning the boys were ad vised to write letters and read and rest. It has been a source of great gratiti cation to the camp director to see how heartily they have enjoyed the deeper things of the camp life. I think that every boy wrote from one to three let ters or cards. These were taken to the railroad by our camp visitor, Mr. Sid ney Holey, of Athens, who came out yesterday and spent the night with his son. It was announced that the Sunday school lesson would be taught on the piazza of the director's cottage at 10:00 Every boy in camp and our visitor was present. It was a great pleasure to speak to the boys on the “Life of Paul, |the Apostle.” The offering taken was !given to Mr. E. L. Griggs to send to the Orphanage at Clinton, H. < . At noon, the boys enjoyed fried chicken and ice cream in addition to I corn, tomatoes and the other things which go to making up a good dinner. The afternoon was spent by most of the boys in reading and writing. After evening mess, Chas. Harper, son of Prof. Harper of the University of Geor gia, conducted a Christian Endeavor meeting. Many of the boys participat ed in this. From this meeting on the piazza, we adjourned to one of the hill tops where we sang some of the old hymns and enjoyed a glorious sunset. At this meeting we took opportuni ty to speak to the boys on a “Great Life Principle." At the close of the day it is gratifying to have a ilozeTl or more boys come to you and say: It lias been a great day,” or "I shall neve* get away from the influences of this .day.” We are thankful thus far that we have bad no accidents. Tomorrow we jgo on a hike to the Chattooga river, if (the weather permits. Yesterday we all 1 enjoyed a “Shower Bath.” I The latest addition to our camp is Lamar Perry, who came in yesterday. Our plan is to break camp on Friday, spend the night at Lakemont and on i home on Saturday. STANLEY K. GRUBB. CLOSES MEETING AT OCONEE. Rev. W. H.
