Thi' wise farmers of Barrow county are sowing
wheat and oats these days.
n
The wise citizens of Barrow county are doing their
best to pay their debts.
c O
An honest man is still the noblest work of God.
O
As we r go along the journey of life, what a great
boon is a good friend.
'f O
There are fewer bankrupt notices lining published
in the Winder News than in many other papers that
t
come to this office. Hurrah, for Barrow county.
O
The editor of the Winder News sincerely appreci
ates the many kind expressions of sympathy that
have come to hint from the brethren of press over
the state. No tiner set of men live* than the Georgia
(editors. It’s a great* privilege to he one of them.
O
There are some' few people in the world that think
it pays to be dishonest. But they are woefully mis
taken.
■ O
The merchants of Winder arc offering goods to
the people of tills section at extremely low prices.
If you an* looking for bargains you will find them
here.
A Banker and Bankrupts.
Never lx‘fore, possibly in the economic history of the
ness men and southern farmers faced whut is seeming
ly inevitable lmsiness failure. Consequently, never
before lias there been so excellent an opportunity for
judging the business integrity of our people as a
whole.
It require** no moral courage to meet one's obliga
tions where there are funds in plenty. Neither is
credit due to the man who 1 >ex this, since business
in. u have long since learned tin: oil this hangs suc
cess or failure in any business enterprise.
Hut as an official of tile Oconee County Hank points
Out lu a letter to A. H. Davison, of this ci.y, the coun
try is to-day teeming with mm who will meet or fail
to meet their debts only as their seme of honor and
justice dictates. Cor, in their case, the bankruptcy
,court. offering as it does an opportunity to start
afresh with all former obligations wiped from the
slate, presents a picture which can not fail to have
its allurements.
As this hanker sets out:—
‘‘We are passing through a period, not alone of. ti
naneiai inconvenience and embarrassment but it in
season in which the filler of men is being tested ns
well. Strength or weakness of character i lieing
manifest. Many men are hesitating 1 vet ween the
paths of righteous-dealings mid voluntary bankruptcy
“Hard work and a high sense of honor will in the
long-run restore conditions to a state of normalcy and
crystalizatioil fif public opinion ngninst/tlie weak
ness of bankruptcy or other evasions of debts should
In* so strenuously affected ns to bring scorn on the
lmad of the bankrupt.
.“Would it be expedient for a newspaper to take up
the cudgel editorially against the “debt-evading" ten
dency that could easily become a menace? If so, why
not bring it to the attention of the papers with whom
you advertise?"
On faith in the honesty of the average man has our
whole structure of business dealings Imsui erected. The
business of the world is founded entirely upon credit.
Belief in the ability and willingness of the world to
meet its obligations, keeps the wheels of commerce
turning. Without credit- —without this abiding con
fidence in the inate honesty of mankind our factories
must close down ; our railway trains cease to run ; our
ships to sail the seven seas.
In evading an honest debt, therefore, a man, no mat
tor how hard pressed regardless of how nearly he
can come to justifying his action in his own individual
case, not only rcbs himself of th priceless heritage
of self-respect, but contributes so much as he is able
to a continuance of the present financial depression
| of the country and helps to undermine to tlic limit of
his abilities the very foundation stone of our entire
economic structure.—Athens Daily News.
The day of “old man credit’! is passing in Georgia.
O
Winder always pays the topi of the market for cot
ton. It pays to bring your cotton many miles to
this city.
O
This section has been blessed this year far above
that of other sections of the state. Let's not make
the mistake of thinking that the boll weevil wiil not
Hit us heavily next year.
O
Wise men look ahead and see the dangerous things
of life and thereby avoid them; fools walk on blindly
and are destroyed.
O
The man who is careful about his obligations, and
(struggles to meet them, cannot be put in the ditch.
O
There are a lot of good, honest people in the world
yet, and they are the ones that must hold things to
gether.
Never before has the editor of the Winder News
realised the value of friends.
O
The “feel" of coming winter is in the air.
O
Blessed is the man that has a job these times, even
if the pay is not entirely satisfactory, and has sense
enough to stick to it.
O
Senator Watson and Governor Hardwick are about
to fall out again. When these two begin to maul
each other the fur will fly as it did down in the
The Tenth district in the days of yore.
O
Id the management of our financial affairs, let us
remember that “a good name is rather to lie chosen
than great riches.”
0
The farmers down in Greene and Putnam counties
are realizing this year the great mistake they made
in thinking they could make one more crop of cotton
before the boll weevil got in its work. We hope the
farmers of Barrow county will not make this mistake.
