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. 0 We appreciate the way many of our subscribers are coming up with renewals.
