GOOD-BYE DELINQUENTS
This week we reluctantly take
from our list about 100 names of
those who have failed to let us hear
from them in regard to their past
due subscriptions. We cannot stay
in business without collecting these
subscription accounts, hence we are
compelled to cut down our newspa

Next week we will make another
cut of others that have paid no at
tention to our appeals for help.
Look at your label and if you are
behind and have not written us that
you will pay shortly your name will
likely be cut off next week. If you
lail to get the paper you will know
the reason. We hope all in arrears
will put themselves square with the
paper early next week. We will
appreciate it and you will feel bet
ter over it.
WINDER TO HAVE
WIRELESS STATION
Winder is to have a wireless radio
receiving and sending station in the
near future if the plans of two of oui
progressive young men are carried out.
There are now about 1550 of these
stations over the United States, which
receive and send out news, farm and
market reports, weather conditions,
etc., and this proposed station would
get all of this news that it cared to
get for a distance of 2000 miles.
One of the young men promoting the
project is a government licensed wire
'less operator and with a little money
and some work things will soon be go
ing. The government has been en
couraging these stations for the reason
that farmers and agricultural interests
are greatly helped by them.
If the station is installed the young
men propose to also install the horn
attachment and many musicals, con
certs will be received which can be
heard for a distance of several hun
dred yards, and the people of the city
will l>e invited to these concerts.
We wish these boys luck in this un
dertaking and assure them the co-op
eration of the city officials and the peo
ple of Winder.

lightful social hour was spent.

HUGE MENAGERIE
IN TARZAN FILM
In the picture ‘The Revenge of Tar
*aii" which name was substituted for
'the book name of “The Return of Tar
zan” which comes to the Stran The
ater next Monday. December sth. there
are many thrilling moments. Nine
lions, five leopards, fifteen apes, six
tigers, two ehampanzees. two elephants
and twenty-flour monkeys constitute
the animalistic contribution to “The
Revenge of Tarzan,” and in some of
the scenes ten or more animals, of va
ried specie were used and it was in
episodes that had peculiar mix
hps.
In a scene in which Gene Pollar as
Tarzan drops from among a group of
apes, nestling in trees, to the ground
and has his bare handed fight against
the lion, it required hours upon hours
to induce the apes to remain quiet in
I the presence of the jungle king.
Again when Tarzan rides off on the
I head of his elephant, the huge beast
! scenting the lion, balked and tore off
through the under brush and several
days were spent trying to accustom
the elephant to the lion.
The two fights between Tarzan and
the lions were staged just as shown on
the screen. A well trained lion with
teeth and talons untampered with,
actually battled with Tarzan and of
course, permitted the man to win and
at a word from its trainer, “played
dead” just as a trained dog would—
with the result that a most unusual ef
fect is achieved.
Tonight, Thursday, Wallace Reid
will be shown at the Strand in “The
Valley of The Giant.” This is said to
be a great picture and this popular
screen star is shown to good advan
tage.
