The Strand Theater Program THURSDAY ami FRIDAY, FEBRU ARY and 10TH.—JACK LOON DON'S “THE LITTLE FOOL.” SPECIAL VOL. XXVIII. C. M. THOMPSON STROLLS ON OUT BROAD STREET BEYOND THE MULBERRY RIVER. Well, let us finish our trip out Broad i street to a short distance beyond the Mulberry river. Just get in uiy car and let us ride out the four miles to the) Slaton (Add Mattox) plaop. Then j \ve will tale note of the settlement and j its people. The first tiling that we will i notice about this section is that it is i now in a fine state of cultivation, but ] some 50 years ago was covered with old field pines and broom sage. We ecu drive slow and stop at the fork of the old atio new roads to Jefferson. That ohi linuie now owned by Edna O’Shie’ds was formerly as we knew it, the Joan Parker place, who lived there many years ago, and sold to Dave f ulcher. Look off yonder some IKK) yeards to your left, tha* ridge is the spof where A. D. (Gusi Colli os fell from a mule and broke his leg. 1 remember heal ing him halloa. I was a mile away. This was 45 years ago. That other ridge you see is the Lee Eley home, near this spot there was a log school house years ago. Now, we w r ill travel on and are at the top of a small hill near the John W. O'Shields gin house, and off to our left in that field once lived Bill Mangum. I know not who built it, for it was an old house some 50 years ago. Our next is' the home of Edna O’Shields. This house was built 37 years ago by J. W. and J. A. Thompson. At this place they both died, also in this house their brother, J. L. Thompson, died, also the \vife of ,J. W. Thompson passed away from this home. Off yonder to our right where a teu ant house stands was a log cabin on the plot of ground and in which Ed Owens lived before the civil war. We must go. We are now curving to the right. The oid road ran straight up and down hill to the Dr. I. J. M. Goss place. Here' he built a pretty home and sold it to Adam Thompson a half century ago. At this place lie breathed his last. Mr. Healan lives here now. We stroll on a few hundred yards and are now approaching Johnson Academy. It was built about 1881, and is in good condition today. Miss Clara Wardlaw was the first teacher. I would like to say that there are those who went to school here that are now in every walk and avocation in life. They are scattered into many states. I know of no rural school ttmt can boast as this place can of the worthy men and women who got a start here. Let us look back northwest down the road towards J. P. Eley’s. Down that hill, Mr. Collins, the father of W. J. Collins was hauling a load of lum ber when the tongue of the wagon broke and the mules ran, throwing him out against a tree and injuring him so that lie died shortly. This was just be fore the war. Now, look north, that new looking bungalow is the home of J. R. Johnson and Esq. A. I. Lyle. The old house uewrer is the old home of Mallnda (Maiay) Lyle. She was the mother Esq. Lyle. In that house was the original Malinda postoffice, and when you see Malinda on all maps of the •lay you can remember the old home. Malinda postoffice got its name from this good old lady. The present occu pant is none other than Henry Page, the father of the noted triplets of Bar row county. They are now two years old and idoing well. Last Sunday’s Constitution had their pictures. This is a wonderfully productive place along more lines than one. J. R. John son killed three hogs that netted 1558 pounds, and had other heavy hogs, but does not need them therefore won’t kill any. We will now r go on. We stop in the middle of the road about half way be tween Johnson Academy and Mrs. Pat rick's. At that time J. M. Johnson lived there, and the writer stood and watched a twisting, funnel-shaped cloud in the north. This cloud was the cy clone that did considerable damage he yond Jefferson at the Jarrett place. The next place was owned by Clark William Fulcher, then by a Primitive Baptist preacher by the name of Loch. Then came Esq. C. H. Reeves. Off to our right a quarter of a mile #ii tie* branch stood a log cabin once used as a school house. Miss Cassey Pittman taught there before the war. On we go. The next old home is where Mrs. Emma Wall now lives. In 1870, L. J. Johnson laid the foundation for the present house. G. J. X. \V ilsou was the boss workman. Some of the men under him were Gus Boswell. Mr. Borders, a jolly Irishman, ('alien and Robert Jones. Back on that small rise was Johnson’s shop, and before the days of Malinda postoffice it was a postoffice, and it was tlie first on this side of Jefferson in Jackson county near here. Next we come to the John Johnson old home on top of the hill, at the cut out of the hill. He died here and was buried a couple of hundred yards back of the house. In this house. R. L. Johnson died. Buck Whitehead died in this house. They were both buried liack of this old home. We’ll now go down the cut to the noted Tishmauga. so called by G. J. N. Wilson. This Tishmauga is Indian for Mulherrv and means fruitful. It runs lie tween' two of the beet owunties in Georgia. It is true not only of tin* bountiful crops that have been gather ed from its fertile hanks, hut it is also true when it comes to the delicious fish that have been taken from its placid waters. As to the truth of this state ment do not take my word, hut ask the seining sports of Winder. C. M. THOMPSON. r See Jack London's “The Little Fool” at Strand to-day and tomorrow. -SPhe ttHnfcr Mu m AND THE BARROW TIMES J. W. WESTBROOKS APPOINTED POST MASTER AT WINDER News conies from Atlanta that the name of Mr. John W. Westbrooks, who Is the present assistant postmaster at this place, lias been appointed post master. Mr. W. B. McCants, who lias been postmaster for the past four years and who has filled that position so ac ceptably, was not an applicant for re appointment. Mr. Westbrooks’ appointment will give general satisfaction. He is thor oughly familiar with the duties of the otlice, and is an affable official. We do not know when his appointment will take effect. HERBERT THOMAS FOUND NOT GUILTY Seven Oconee county farmers, includ ing Herbert Thomas and two of his brothers, were indicted by the grand jury of Oconee county in Watkinsville last Thursday in connection with al leged anti-negro activities.. These sev en include Otis, Henry and Loy Har rison. Hershel Peters and Henry, Per rin qnd Herbert Thomas.

Thomas was the first of the four men indicted some time ago to face trial. From the sentiment in the court room there was at no time any doubt as to the outcome of the case Cal Hawkes and Jim and Ilamp Doo- Icsr are out under $3,500 bond and will likely he tried in July. Scott Jackson Uncovers Train Robber in Winder Lish Harrison, aliened train robber, was captured at Winder this week and brought to Athens Friday by J. A. Whiting. United- States deputy mar shal, with headquarters here. Harri son was lodged in the Clarke coiutty jail awaiting trial in federal courts charged with being a member of a gang of freight car thieves that stole several thousands of dollars worth of freight in cars side-tracked for inter state shipment at Winder in 1918. The robberies continued for months Car after car was raffled and many thousand of dollars worth of freight stolen and sold, most of it to a mer chant on the outskirts of town. Fi nally the whole gang was turned up by Lish Harrison when Scott Jackson was sent to Winder to arrest him on a charge of desertion from the army. The desertion charge was not proven, but Jackson secured a confession from Har rison when he told him that members of the freight car gang were trying to get rid of him in answer to Harrison’s query as to why he was arrested. Seven of the gang have been tried, ; ,ne has died and Harrison remains.

McWhorter, of Woodville, Cu. He w“ 83 years of age at tilt- time of his death and was easily the first citizen of Greene county.

Nelson hit Chicago from, Omaha 15 months ago with 19 cents and an idea. Today the 19 cents has grown to a steadily increasing fortune of six fig ures. It’ll be well over a millou be fore Nelson pays his income tax. What did it? The deal! Nelson’s idea was to cover a square of cold ice cream with a layer of hot chocolate, thus making a confection with real ice cream inside. He got the idea while he was manag ing his father’s cream plant out in On awa, la. And he furthered it while he was studying chemistry at college. When he was graduated he peddled the idea around from ice cream factory to ice cream factory. Everybody laugh ed nt him “Cover cold ice cream with hot chocolate? Man, you’re crajy!” the said. But Russell Stover, manager of an ice cream plant at Omaha, was differ ent. He thought Nelson’s idea could tie put over. And together Stover and Nelson did put it over. That’s why you see a big yellow sign advertising “Eskimo Die” in your con fectionery store window. For Nelson’s the inventor of Eskimo pie. Nelson’s not making it. His compa ny, composed of himself, Stover and others, is selling licenses to firms in other cities to manufacture the con fection. Today more than 1,009,000 Eskimo pies are being eaten daily. And Nel son's company gets 5 cents royalty on every dozen pies. This will amount to about s4.<>()<) a day or a million and a half a year. Not a had idea, ell? And Nelson’s busy with an adding machine trying to figure up his income. “Don’t lose heart,” Nelson advises others. “I kept at my hunch and plug ged--that's why I succeeded. These Eskimo Dies were put on sale at the City Pharmacy Monday morn ing and since that time it has heel) unable to supply the demand. Seton —Lobo, Rag and Vixen. lyongfellow—Tales of a Wayside Inn.

SUMMEROUR ADDRESSES A CARD TO HIS FRIENDS To My Friends and Customers: — Probably this letter will lie a sur pri>e to some of you hut I feel that you would like to hear from me in regard to some things. We are passing through strenuous times now. hut we still have much to be thankful for. As you know I made a hard fight to keep my head above the water, hut the big slump in prices of goods, the loss in account* and u big overhead ex pense, was too much for me. 1 certainly appreciate the many kind words and letters of sympathy since my doors were closed. I am glad that 1 do not love the dol lar so well, but that I can say good bye home, good bye worldly posses sions. hut give me my true friends wfio will not dissappoint me, but will stand by through thick and thin. My faith is not in the tilings of this world but in the Christ that went from the man ger to the cross, from the cross to the grave and from the grave to the right hand of the Father. The God that loaned me this home will, if it pleases him, lend me another one. 1 probably could have been cold blooded and not have regarded my customers’ welfare and come out bet ter, but had rather go down in defeat than to have done this. While, as I see it, 1 have not lieen treated exactly right by everybody, I have no 111 will toward any one. My creditors have been very nice to me and it grieves me that I can not pay them In full. Most all of them have been very kind to me and frankly ex press their desire that l may soon get back into business and re-establish my self in the business world. I certain ly appreciate this and will do my best to do so. I will announce through the Winder News a little later what my future course will he. I love the people of Winder and Barrow county and while my stay here liiih been my downfall, l mil not ashamed of in.v record, and am not afraid to hold my head up and face the music. Hoping that you will not he financial ly this way hut that you will be able to successfully stem the tide, I urn, Yours to serve, J. W SUMMEROUR.
