OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE CITY OF WINDER OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY of BARROW Member Ninth Georgia District Press Association. SUBSCRIPTION RATES IN ADVANCE: ONE YEAR - * l "2° Six Months 1,1 Guaranteed Circulation 1968 Winder, Ga., July 28, 1921. 112 Candler Street- Telephone No. 73 If everyliody is in favor of biennial sessions of the legislature, why can't we have them? % —O One of the most visionary men of modern times is Lord Northcliffe, of England, who says lie expects peace shortly in Ireland. O The tobacco market In South Georgia seems to be in about the same condition as the cotton market in this section of the state. 0 One of the most interesting write-ups of the recent press meeting at Washington was made by Miss Mary Singleton, the eleven-year-old linotype operator on the Clurkesville Advertiser. > -o And now comes a Paris doctor and says he can give you a brand new face for three hundred dollars. We are going to take up a collection at the next meeting of the press association and have anew one made for Jack Patterson, of the Atlanta Journal. O Representative Lankford, of Toombs county, wants congress to offer a reward of ss,ooo,taxi to anyone who will invent a remedy that will successfully combat the boll weevil. Such a reward would put a lot of folks to studying and inventing. — O The legislature is about to pass a law taxing all unmarried men and women over thirty years of age $5.00 per year. This won’t affect our triend, Jack Patterson, of the Atlanta Journal, who Is hardly nine teen yet. 0 Editor Brown Tyler, of the Conyers Times, was mar ried about a month ago, and already he Is writing editorials about "Being Married Getting to be Risky.’ He says he favors a constitutional amendment to pro tect defenseless husbands, or that there ought to Vie a closed season on them same as on other game. o It is stated that if the $2,500 tax on grand opera becomes a part of the tax law of the state, Georgia bus heard its last performance of grand opera. We could manage to get along without grand opera our self, we reckon, but we would feel sorry for Editors Shackelford, of Lexington, and Shannon, of Commerce. 0 The row is still on between Editors Camp, Shnckelford and McWhorter over colleges and common schools. We suggest they settle the matter at the press 'cue at Washington—see which can shred the most 'cue.— Madison Madisonian. We were thoroughly beaten by Editor Camp at the Tlgnall ’cue. When we gave up the tight, he was six ribs ahead of us and still a shreddlu’. However, Ed itor Shackelford won out over Ernest easily. "Shack” is the champion 'cue shredder of the Georgia hoys. O Editor McWhorter, of the Winder News, com mends Editor Camp for speaking out against the municipal league. The Madisonian man received very cordial invitation to the Atlanta meeting and a card to the Ansley luncheon, but somehow we felt it place for us. While they sometimes get on the wrong side of politics, yet one will not go far wrong in following the leadership of Edi tors Camp and McWhorter.—Madison Madisonian. Moth are estimable gentlemen and good editors. We may not always agree with them, but on these municipal league bills we were all agreed. We are happy to state that these so-called biljs ap parently have gone the way of Ward’s ducks.—Dal ton Citizen. Claude and ye editor ate in Washington this week attending the Georgia Press Association. Claude will go on to Tybee for a dip in the surf. We fear some mermaid will get him and he’ll never get back to Winder. —Winder News. Claude Cook is a fine fellow and we hope he will not fall a victim of some entanglement which will forbid his return to his old friends In Northeast Geor gia. Our private opinion, publicly expressed is that Claude does not cart so much for vamps In his old age.—Commerce News. Claude resents the insinuation that he Is old. \*ou ought to have seen him Jumping and romping around lb the water up to his ankles down at Tybee. Every body on the lieach took him to be only eighteen years old. A New Paper for Athens. This section of the State will lie interested in the announcement of anew daily paper for Athens, the publication of which will begin about September Ist. It is being hacked by about ninety of the leading bus iness men of the city and will have the hearty support of a large per cent of the advertising patronage. Athens is the largest and most important city in this section of Georgia, and everybody in this northeastern section will be interested in the new publication. Since the consolidation of the two Athens papers under management much dissatisfaction has arisen among the merchants of that city, and it is proposed to give Athens and this section of Georgia an up-to-date news paper with all the latest news. The subscription price will be $5.00 per year, and it will no doubt have a splendid list of subscribers when it begins publication. O The Outlook for Business. The outlook for business this fall is good for this section. The farmers have put up a splendid fight against the boll weevil, and the cotton crop bids fair to be good. On account of the greatly reduced acre age throughout the South there will be a great falling off in the total yield and this ought to stiffen up the price considerably and we believe it will have this effect. The crop has been made on very little ex pense, and many of last year's debts will be eliminated this fall. We believe the merchants will find business fairly good, and by degrees the depression under which the public is now laboring will gradually pass away. The time has now come to get down to business right, hustle for all you can get, and carry a bright, optimistic spirit. Things are coming around alright if we will to have it that way. Our lands are just as productive as ever, our people are just as honest and energetic as ever, and as we recover from the blow that was delivered us last fall we will realize that complaining does no good, but that the “going on” spirit will always win. O What has become of all the oil stock salesmen that used to swarm over Georgia? O Ninth Georgia District Press Association. The next meeting of the Ninth Georgia District Press Association will be held in Winder on Friday. September 2nd. We are expecting a full representa tion of all the newspapers of the district at that meeting. A program for the meeting will be given out next week and we hope to make the September meeting the best we have yet had. We are asking our brethren of the press to arrange to be present. A cor dial invitation is extended to the Eighth District boys to meet with us. Only one day is taken up in the meeting and Winder is only a short drive from all , sections of both the Ninth and Eighth districts. This "section of Georgia has some of the livest and most progressive papers in the state, and we are sure we cun make our district meetings interesting, pleasant and profitable. We want you to come. More Notes on the Press Meeting Savannah is a great city, the outlet of the state to the sea, and all Georgians feel a pride in their chief seaport. Editor Morcock, of Lawreneeville, stayed in the ocean at Tybee exactly nine hours and fifteen min utes. Our friend ought not to wait so long between baths. ; .v > u •'*’ Editor George Rucker says that, to our utter as tonishment, the surf zoo was made up mostly of calves, and that we kept our eyes closed and prayed. Not so with George. He "watched as well as prayed.” The last we saw of “Shack” of the Oglethorpe Echo was on Broughton street in Savannah expatiating on the difference between "Savannah Ale ’ and “Mountain Dew.” Ex-Mayor Wootten’s address of welcome out at Tignall was a gem. He knows how to make a speech and he knows how to reach the heart of the Georgia editor. The barbecue was great. John Holder Was toastmaster out at Tignall. Must have missed his dinner as all the speakers were short on account of the tempting table and John was kept busy introducing. The breakfast given by the Savannah Morning News, and the Shore dinner served so acceptably by the Savannah Press at Tybee were among the most enjoyable occasions of the whole trip. The visitors will never forget these feasts. Hon. Frank Colley’s address of welcome was cor dial and captivating. It mnde the visitors feel at home from the very beginning. By the way, Col. Col ley is one of Wilkes’ distinguished citizens, and prom inent throughout the state. He was once a candidate for congress In the Eighth district. Editor J. Kelly Simmons, of the Nashville Herald, the retiring president, was presented with two beauti ful gifts by the association as a mark of appreciation by the body for his services during the past two years. Kelly made the association an excellent presiding of ficer.
