O 1 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.

O 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. o “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. O 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.

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. KING MOTOR COMPANY C. B. MOTT, Manager.
