We had a good time at Athens Inst Saturday. The
mayor of the city assured the press gang that the
doors of the jails and blind tigers were locked hard
and fast while they were guests of the city. No use
of locking the jail, for nobody lius ever been accused
of trying to break into a jail, but it was well that
the doors of the blind tigers were looked for Mc-
Whorter. Shackelford, Caldwell and Fuust were all
there.—Commerce News.

raised a row about the blind tigers being dom'd up. ,

KVKN AS YOU AND I
When I flrst went to see tier
I show is! a timid heart,
And. even wtion the lights wyre low
We sat this far apart,
But us our love grew stronger.
And we learned its joy and bliss,
We knocked out all the spaces,
Andsatupcloselikethis.

But now that we are married,
No longer is there bliss,
The spaces are again in order,
And we sit around like this.

And Scholar.
Ernest Gamp, president of the Eighth district press
association, and J. W. MpWhorter, of the Ninth, ar

paper men have served their respective district asso
ciations ably and conscientiously. Some of the best
gatherings ever held by newspaper men in Georgia
were directed by Camp and McWhorter, two real news
paper fellows w'ho know what to do and how to do it.

Our Banks
In this issue of The News appears the statements
of tin* North Georgia Trust A Banking Company, The
Farmers Bank and The Bank of Statham. Last week
we carried the statement of the Winder National. The
statements of these flnanciaMnstitutions are very grat
ifying indeed. They show that our banks are Indng
splendidly managed and that they are fast recovering
from the depression that overtook us about a year
ago. No hanks in Georgia make a better showing
than those of this city and county and we congrat
ulate their officers on the excellent statements made.
The Short Line Railroads
Winder is interested in the Anal fate of the short
line railroads of the Btate. One of them the Gaines
ville Midland passes through this city and its disman
tling will be a great blow not only to the section
north of this city through which it passes hut to
Winder as well. A determined effort on the part of
the people of the state ought to be made to save them.
They are the real Georgia railroads. They serve the
rural sections and millions of dollars have been In
vested along the lines of these roads that will he lost
should the roads lie junked. The saving of these
roads has become one of the most vital questions be
fore us now and we hope to sis* some plan worked
out by which they can be kept serving the people of
Georgia.
O
Barrow County Products Dinner.
Next Monday, March 27, the people of Barrow
county will be the guests of Winder at a Barrow coun
ty products dinner. It behooves every citizen of this
city to be a cordial host in every sense of the term.
Those who furnish dinner are expected to be present
at tlie noon hour and see that their guests are given
a glad welcome. Do not stay at home and send your
dinner but come yourself and show our visitors that
we are glad to have them with us. The county and
city will both profit by this great gathering. We are
one people, and everything should be done to make
tlie occasion the l>est that has ever been hold in the
county. We are expecting a great crowd and we are
also expecting the citizens of Winder to l>e present
and make our visitors have the time of their lives.
The opportunity will be worth while and we feel
sure tlie people of Winder will show themselves equal
to the occasion.

“Cornin’ Home.”
—i—
All the time I sing an’ say:
‘•She’ll lie cornin’ home some day!
Some time in tlie light I’ll hoar
Her faint footsteps on the stair —
Sec her smilin' on me there!"
Night an’ day I sing an’ say:
“She'll be coinin' home some day!”
Cornin’ home! Wliat’s home when there
I left see her vacant chair?
When the flowers her smile made sweet
Listen for her heart's low beat—
Flowers her kiss made red and sweet!
Y'et I sing an* yet I say:
“She’ll he cornin’ home some day.”
Then the light will dawn, and be
Like the smile of heaven on me!
’Then—sweet songs for all the sighs.
Though the happy tears may rise,
Falling, rain-like, ’round the eyes!
There is light upon the way— .
“She’ll be cornin’ home some day !”
—Frank L. Stanton.

Paul Harber, of the Commerce Observer, aptly says,
“It has gotten to he a habit for men in all walks of
life to criticise the women. Throw the spotlight on
/ the men. The sight won’t be so elevating. Try it,
you reformers, and just plain men everywhere."
O
Funny how selfish most wives are. They insist on
doing all the knocking of their husbands themselves.
Just let any of the neighbor women start to help them
out along that line and it will make them madder
than a wet hen.—The Franklin Press.
That’s a wife’s duty to defend her husband. When
a man’s wife will not come to his defense his case
is pretty bad. Here's to the good wife who sticks to
her husband right or wrong. We have millions of
them. May their tribe increase.—Lavonia Times.
Y'es. most of them do “stick” through thick and thin,
but when we look into the faces of some of their
hubbies, we do not know how in the demnationbow
wows they can do it.—Commerce News.
Editor Shannon should not be so rough on Rush
Burton. Rush can’t help it. and then it’s not good
manners to talk about a mau’s looks in public.

I can save you money on TRACTOR
OIL.—A. A. THOOMAS. tf
Decide!
Farmer Friend!
Today we laugh at the memory of the savage turning
the soil with his crooked stick, yet when McCormick in
vented his first reaper in 1831, a lot of foolish people
thought he was crazy. But when, on account of the
scarcity of labor, they had to choose between buying
reapers and letting their wheat rot in the fields, they
bought reapers.
The farmers faces another progressive movement.
The horses, like the crooked stick of the savage and
the steer of the pioneer, has had his day. He is being
displaced everywhere by the tractor, just as the sickle
was replaced by the self-binder and the flail by the
threshing machine.
The time has come for you to decide!
The moment is here for you to make your choice be
tween th§ low cost of kerosene and the high cost of feed,
between the scarcity of labor and independence of la
bor, between a slow, sweating team plowing one acre
a day, and a fast moving tractor plowing six to eight
acres a day, between minimum and maximum farm
production, between keeping your boys at home on the
farm or driving them off to the cities for employment,
between farming at a profit and farming at no profit. ’
It is for you to say which it shall be.
If you knew what a Fordson Tractor is worth to you
in the saving of time, labor and worry; what it will do,
not only in preparing and harvesting a crop ; BUT IN
HAULING and DRIVING BELT MACHINERY IN
BAD WEATHER and DURING the WINTER Months,
you would lose no time in joining the ranks of the pro
gressive farmers who have already invested their mon
ey in Fordson Tractors.
IV4 ’ •** '
Sooner or later you will recognize the absolute neces
sity for a Fordson—and we want you to know now that
they are going to be hard to get later.
