A MESSAGE FROM
The WINDER NEWS
•
This is a message to our subscrib
ers. We know it is fair and that
everyone that takes the News will
agree with us in the statements we
make.
On account of the stringency in
money matters, we have not press
ed our subscribers for payment thru
the summer months. By the clos
est economy we have managed to
pull through so far, yet we are go
ing to need every dollar due us ear
ly in the fall. '
W’e are expecting you to pay us
just as soon as you begin to sell
your cotton. W’e have given you a
good, readable paper, and we feel
sure you appreciate our efforts and
that you will be willing at the first
opportunity to show your apprecia
tion by sparing us the small amount
you owe the paper,. The amount is
not large to anyone, but these small
amounts put together mean a great
deal to us.
The label on your paper shows the
date to which you are paid. If
te date opposite your name reads
21apr21, it means that your sub
scription expired on April 21, 1921,
and that you are due us for the pa
per from that date. There is not a
family in the county but what is
to take their county paper. It
costs about 3 cents a copy, and we
believe everyone in the county feels
that it is worth this small sum to
able to keep up wit the happen
ings of this county and section.
W’e are expecting you to help us
and to help us early. W’e need it.
The first time you are in town come
around and see us and let’s talk over
the matter. We want to give you a

VOTE BONDS OR A
BIG TAX RATE TO BE
LEVIED THIS FALL
On August 20th, the people of Bar
row county will decide on the issue of
$50,000 worth of bonds witli which to
finish the court house and to pay oth
debts of the county that has accumu
lated. It will be necessary to issue
bonds, or levy a tax sufficiently large
this fall to raise the $50,000. Under the
present condition of financial affairs
it sedtns to us that it would be far bet
ter to v ote bonds and pay them la
ter than to have a heavy and oppres
sive tax levied on the county this fall.
Everyone that favors bonds under
the present circumstances should not
fail to go out and vote. To fail to
vote for bonds is a vote against them
as the required number of votes must
la* secured for them. Look up the day,
mark it on your calendar, and go out
! and vote.

beginning of the sermon we decided
that Epephras was a dry text, but be

his subject we decided that it was a
very interesting subject. Epephras
was a doer, a servant and was

Enrico Caruso, the world famed tenor
died Tuesday. The great singer, whose
ultimate recovery had been hoped for
under the benign influences of his own
Italy, passed away at J) o’clock Tues

Naples. He had been carried there
hurriedly from Sorrento, on the hny of
Naples, where less than a week ago he
avowed his returning strength and er
pressed the conviction that he would
sing again as iu the old days.
He had been able to visit the famous
sanctuary of Our Lady of Pompeii, giv
ing thanks offering for his recovery.
He went also to the Island of Carpi,
where lie attended a luncheon in His
honor. But soon afterwards unfavor
able symptoms in the form of a high
fever, manifested themselves, and his
wife telegraphed to a Rome specialist
to come to Sorrento; it was then /lis
covered that anew internal abscess had
developed.
Caruso’s removal to Rome for an op
eration was advised but lie showed
such weakness that it was impossible
to transfer him further than Naples,
where lie arrived Hy sea Sunday even
ing. Four eminent physicians were
called in consultation and their exam
ination showed the presence of a sub
phrenic abscess, accompanied hy se
vere peronitis.
An operation to fie performed at
noon Tuesday was decided upon but
the patient’s condition became suddenly
worse at 4:30 in the morning and lie
died soon afterward. Prior to this,
heart stimulation was resorted to
hourly.

tirst time we have had tin* pleasure of
riding over tills road anil we want to
congratulate our sister county of Mor
gan on such a magnificent highway. It
was tlie shortest nine miles we have
ridden in many u day, and if we Hail
roads all over Georgia like this one in
Morgan, traveling would, indeed, be a
pleasure.
Crops were good along tHe route and
we see no reason why Barrow, Wal
ton and Morgan counties should not
be in as good condition this fall as any
other county iti the state.
At Thickhead we had the pleasure of
meeting quite a number of relatives,
Among whom we mention Mr. A. E. Mc-
