The days of making a living easy have passed. We
must get down to work in dead earnest.
O
“Diligent in business, fervent in prayer, serving the
Lord,” is mighty good doctrine.
o
Our Chamber of Commerce is beginning to function
right along. It's up to Winder and Barrow county
to keep it going.
O
The Ninth and Eighth District Press Associations
will meet in Athens on Saturday, March 11. We hope
every paper in the Ninth will be represented.
O
February has given us several beautiful spring days
this week. About time to begin working in the gar
den, George Rucker to the contrary, notwithstanding.
O
The man who would succeed from now on must
put interest and hard work in his business. The day
of easy money making is gone for years to come.
O
The statement has been made that the state is pay
ing $l5O a day for Lithia water for some of its of
ficials. If this is true, let us know who the Lithia
water drinkers are.
O
Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve Board
says that the United States is facing an era of pros
perity of longer duration than the country has known
in its history. We believe he is right.
O
The McDonough Advertiser is anew paper that has
reached our exchange table. Rev. J. D. \V inchester
is editor and Mr. W. A. Clements is business manager,
both good men. The first issue is a good one. May it
live long and prosper.
O
The Savannah Press says about the only remaining
evidence of alleged superiority of man over woman is
the razor, declaring women have their ballot, their
cigarettes, their booze, and their knickerbockers. An
important thing was omitted —they have their job
which used to belong to some man.—Commerce News.
O
Happen to notice just even forty advertisements of
Sheriff's sales for taxes in the Eatonton Messenger.
If things are like that in our neighboring county
we are wont to wonder where buyers for all that
property are to come from. —Oglethorpe Echo.
O
The editor of the Banks County Journal says he is
tired of boosting his town. What do you think of
the following as a town boost:
“This town is broke and in debt. No tax collector
for road work. Public toilet out of fix, and private
toilets filthy. Piping in streets filled up. No public
spirit left. Then some say: ‘Why don’t you boost
the town?’ Boost the devil.”—Banks County Journal.
A Good Name /-f J
That is what every honest, well-meaning firm is striv
ing for. We are doing all in our power to win and de
serve the good will of the people of Winder. Won’t you
be one to come and give us a chance? .
Our stock of meats, groceries and feedstuff is always
right up-to-date in every particular, and we guarantee
our prices.

counties we are offering—

75c per bushel for corn.

Athens Chamber of Commerce, will make the wel
come addresses.
Every editor in the Ninth district is urged to be
present. Let’s go to Athens in full force. It will be
a profitable and enjoyable day.
O
When Is A Man Common?
When is a man common? What traits of character
entitle one human being to more respect than is ac
corded another?
These, and many similar questions cannot but be
brought to mind by an incident which occurred in
Buffalo a few days ago.
From the station of the New York Central Rail
road one of the “pet trains” of this line, the Empire
State Express, was about, to depart. An erect, clear
eyed, jovial-looking old man hurried up to the Pull
man conductor and inquired if the train was bound
for New York City. The conductor answered him in
the affirmative, and called for his parlor car ticket.
The passenger’s reply is the striking part of the inci
dent. He quickly answeder:
“I am not looking for one of the.se “parloi cars.
What I want is a coach where the common people
ride.”
This old man appeared to be a very respectable and
well-to-do farmer—one of the type who form the
backbone of American democracy. As be turned
from the parlor car door his place was taken by a
flashily-dressed young fop who was wearing a walk
ing cane on his arm, an expensive cigarette in his
mouth, and an assinine grin on his face. He in turn
was followed by a stout woman of middle age, who
became hysterical and began to kiss her “dear little
watery-eyed poodle when the conductor informed her
that its nurse would be compelled to check the ani
mal in the baggage car.
Both of these specimens of humanity were soon en
sconced in the luxurious parlor car seats of one of
tlie finest trains in the world. The old farmer in the
meantime was up ahead in the coach. But—was he
riding with the most common people on the train?
Exchange.
O
The State College of Agriculture has been serving
Georgia in a distinctly valuable way for many years.
It is not a political institution and its officers and
instructors are selected on the basis of their trained
ability. Gov. Hardwick, in his address at the Athens
marketing conference, charged that the Agricultural
college and the State Department of Agriculture had
been fighting each other, and that it must cease. He
was in error. The fighting has been all on one side.—
j. J. Brown, Georgia’s agricultural commissioner and
special adviser of farmers on when to sell cotton, play
ing the leading role.— Commerce Observer.
O—
jim Nevin. of the Atlanta Georgian intimates that
he is done with reference to styles in women’s appartl
He says that even if there were anything more to say
it probably would not be in order for the men to say
it, and again, if the men did say it, the women would
pay no attention to it. Jim is learning the lessons
of life right along.

He was quiet, truthful, earnest and
in Ills life none excelled him In trying
to be the same meek spirit each day.
His dying thoughts were of those who
had trusted him with their goods and
was not satisfied to go away till his
friends had promised to fulfill each
•iromise he had made, showing his
honestly; then he prayed to be re
uoved from his awful sufferings to
the beyond to live with his redeemer.
He leaves a lonely wife with a host
f friends to mourn on account of his
‘-ence. Therefore be it resolved;
First; That our lodge has lost one
its most faithful members who
sought to ilve up to Friendship, Love
and Truth.
Second; That while no one can take
his place in our fraternal order, we
bow in humble submission to him wtio
doeth all things well.
Third; That we extend to his bereav
ed companion our deepest sympathy
and pledge to her our prayers that she
may be comforted by the hand divine.
Fourth; That a copy of these reso
lutions be furnished his companion, a
