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 sl-5° Six Month* "5 Guaranteed Circulation 1968 vVinder, Ga. September 22, 1921 112 Candler Street— Telephone No. 73 Winder's tax rate has been iixed at $15.00 per thou • • sand dollars. O On last Monday we rode through the country from Athens to Winder and if the cotton crop all over this section is as good as it is between these two cities this section will make three-fourths of a cotton crop. O An examination of the bank statements that are appearing in all the patters of the state shows con clusively that the people of Georgia havn’t as much money as they had last year. O The Gainesville Eagle denies that it has been cap tured by Jesse Mercer, but says that it will continue to scream in the "Queen City of the Mountains un der its present management. o Editor Callaway, of the Eatonton Messenger, says that there will not be enough cotton made in Putnam county this year to pay the taxes. Does this mean high taxes or low cotton yield? O Barrow county's tax rate has been fixed at $15.00 on the thousand dollars, with a rate of $3.50 per thousand for schools. This with the state rate of 5 mills will make a total of $23.50 per thousand. O “Where is your wondering girl tonight?’’ enquires Uncle John Shannon. The chances are she is out with some Fatty Ar buckle. And it's all because she hasn’t a mammy or daddy that’s worth a hurrah in hades.—Alpharetta Free press. Or perhaps she is taking midnight joy rides over the country with some speeder half filled with booze. O John Shannon, of Commerce, believes In fresh air. Listen to the following confession: “A vsiiting lady walked up the sidewalks of Commerce one day this week wearing a very short skirt and a pair of men’s socks. It was awful hot and when business men saw her pass their doors, they all rushed out to the side walk to get some fresh air.’’ STATHAM BAPTIST CHI'RCH. The third Sunday in September proved to be a red letter day among Stnthmn Baptists. A large proportion of the membership was present, and all were enthusiastic over the exercises of the day. Pastor Henderson reached the climax when, with a few beautiful chosen words, he showed how all activities of the mis sion boards have their foundation in the words of God as expressed in the Holy Bible. A thoroughly unanimous vote re elected lr. Daniel as superintendent, and Mrs. Sikes as assistant. This Sunday school is on the move. We hope to see it soon outgrow its pres ent quarters. There is plenty of room on the outside to build when needed. Examination for Post Master At Winder There will be an examination for postmaster at Winder on October 14, 191*1, Winder is rated under the second class of postoffices.

I will send you on receipt of only 25c in coin, a 50c box of Hafe-Loe inner tube patch es. which contains 35 square inches of rubber, and one tube cement 3 1 4x4. Or der today.—C. C. Quinn. Norcross, Ga. £O-4t. Why the Editor Stoops. Several good friends have lately asked the editor why he is getting stooped, and have been inclined to attribute: it to the automobile accident that nearly sent him on that long, long journey. Here is the real truth, we think. He lias been car rying too heavy a load for his shoulders, and has been carrying this load too long. Ever since last fall when money was so scarce he has been easing up on those subscribers who have gotten behind with their dues to the paper. $1.50 is not much of a load if it had to Ih* carried only once, but six hundred subscribers each IH-ing carried for $1.50 is just, S9OO, and all will agree that this is enough to cause some stoop.—Ocilla Star. About 1200 of our 1950 subscribers are pressing us down just like those of the Ocilla Star are weighting down Bro. Flanders, the editor oft Hat paper. Me are appealing to them as fair and honest men to come up and get off our shoulders so that we ctyi straighten up. Are you one of those tlint are riding us? $1.50 is not much to you but 1200 hundred of them make SI,BOO to ns. Come in and lighten tiie burden. O Labor Unions and Bombs The labor unions of the country are earning an un savory reputation these days. These organizations are getting mixed up with bombs in such a way ms to bring them into disrepute with all good men. Richard Burke, the man who hurled the bomb in Chicago in an endeavor to destroy a shoe repair shop, stated, when arrested, that he supplied bombs for sev eral labor unions and also the men to throw them. Several men have been indicted in Ben Hill county charged with the murder of Conductor Reed, of the A. B. & A. railroad, and now union labor organiza tions come forward and make common cause with these men, who are indicted for murder, and propose to raise a fund to employ counsel to defend them. The laws of Georgia provide that every man charged with crime shall have the benefit of counsel and that he shall have a fair and impartial trial. Why is organ ized labor so interested In clearing these men? Again, why is organized labor so anxious to prove that the recent wreck that occurred on the same rail road in which others lost their lives was the result of defective rails rather than a bomb? These labor organizations are getting in a bad way and honest American citizens are beginning to look with suspi cion upon their fairness and sincerity. O When the Ninth District Press meets here next summer we will have a dance for Uncle John Shan non and a few cigarettes and a couple of bottles of coca-cola for Uncle George Rucker. What do you say?—Cleveland Courier. That’s all right, but be sure to arrange a “fox trot” for Bro. Townsend, of Dahlonega. O Rah Burton gave as his reason for not attending the Eighth District press meeting in Athens recently that he attended an all-day meeting with dinner on the ground the day before. We hope Rush's gastrom ic contrivance is not going back on him. “Shack” of Lexington, says that he is gaining in avordupois right along and attributes it to press meetings with din ners on the ground. Rush should go over and get a few pointers from the veteran hash shredder of Lexington. Quick Action for Real Estate Loans I am now prepared to give quick action on Heal Estate loans.

STORE. the winder news THE UNIVERSAL CAR Genuine Comon Sense Many Ford owners can afford to own and operate any car they may choose, but they prefer a Ford “because it is a Ford.” For “because it is a Ford” means dependability, ease of operation, efhciency-and it means sure, quick trans portation. And “because it is a Ford” means good taste, pride of ownership and genuine Common Sense. The Ford Sedan, a closed car of distinction, beauty and convenience, is the ideal all year ’round car, for pleasure or business-for the farm, town or city. It gives you all that any car can give at a much lower cost for operation and maintenance. Ford Cars of all types are in great demand, so place your order at once if you wish to avoid delay in delivery. KING MOTOR COMPANY C. B.
