To the VOTERS of CITY of WINDER
My attention has been called to the

of our present council, is being criti
cised for the work done on Athens
street in front of property "f -K
Griffeth, R. L. Woodruff, Dr. E. E. De-
LaPerriere, et als. This, 1 think, is
unjust, and any fairmimled man will
agree with me if lie will inspect this
work.
Mr. Uriffcth did this work under in
structions of the council, and if there
is any criticism to he made it should
he made on the Mayor and council as a
body and not on him as ail individual
member. Very respectfully,
GEO. X. BAGWELL, Mayor

WINDER HI DOWNS
GREENSBORO’S 11
Fridya afternoon Winder High de
feated the fast Greensboro eleven oa
the latter’s field 7 to 0 in a hard
fought game and received at the North
Goal, the first quarter was fought on
mid Held with the bull first in the pos
session of one and then the other. The
second quarter was when Winder push
ed tin* lone touehdowiw*across, an end
run for twenty yards by I*. Hill and a
series of line bucks by Harrison carried
the oval across. l. Hill later kicking
the goal. The rest of the game was
as the first quarter being hard fought
with both teams threatening to score
several times. Winder’s team showisi
better form than in any game hereto
fore and the rooters that went down
with the boys can vouch for that.
Sheats at left end played a good game,
in the fourth quarter he made a great
run and recovered a punt and raced
thirty yards living tackled ten yards
from goal. E. Page his running mate
was a real race horse and did some of
the best tackling of the game. Car
penter played his usual steady game at
center always blocking his mun and
snapping the bull in great style. Ar
nold and Ralph Perry at guards were
on the job hitting their men hard anil
.driving them yards from play. Though
his first game Leon Perry surprised
his team mates by his quick dashos
and played a great pari toward our
victory. Fatty Jack Melton at tackle
was fighting his old home town friends
but friendship shared no sympathy just
at this time for Ik* tried to see how
hard lie could hit them. Robinson and
Young at halves allowed good interfer
ence and handled themselves in great
style. Harrisifi, the hurt! plunging
fullback was on the job when ever
called upon, he played a remarkable
game—he hits a line low and hard.
P. Hill played his usuul good game,
getting away for several good gains and
he handled the team ill great style.
W. Hill and Roberts, going ill at halves
In the second half proved very valuable
and upheld the work of their for
mer mates.
Winder meets the Madison Hlgh*
school next Friday and a great battle
is expected, for Madison is noted for
world’s of speed, but watch our hoys
stop them.
WHAT IKIES NOVEMBER 11TH.
MEAN TO YOU THIS YEAR?*
it meant everything to you in the
year of 11*18, when the boys (your
boys) went over the top for the last
.time and made this a safe and better
.world for'you to live in. Then nothing
was too good for them. Do you still
think as much of the boys? Do you
still give them a hand shake and tell
them you are backing them up as you
did then? What has Barrow county
done for the hoys that guve the best
they bad so that Barrow county might
enjoy the peace that they are now 'en
joying? Nothing absolutely nothing.
Not so many weeks ago one of Bar
roy county’s boys that had mode the su
preme sacrifice was sent back to bio
home for burial and a notice appearing
in The Winder News that he was to
be buried on a date fixed liy the boy’s
mother, and would you be surprised to
know that there was not enough of
Winder ami Barrow county people at
the undertaker’s office to bury this lad
at the time set for his burial? The
few boys that had fought with him bail
to go out and beg and rent enough
ears to carry I lie boy's mother and the
family to the cemetery.
Why can’t we get together and give
the boys a big day on the 11th of No
vember? Is-t’s everybody see what
we can do to make the day one that
will long be remembered in Winder and
Barrow county.—A READER.
