Easter Program at the
First Baptist Church
Over 1000 persons attended services
at the First Baptist church Sunday
and enjoyed the Easter exercises put
on by the Sunday school.
Some of the best music heard in he
city was enjoyed by the large num
bers in attendance.
430 were in attendance nt the Bible
school. The various classes rendered
appropriate music and recitations and
Superintendent Maughon was delight
ed with the beauty and enthusiastic re
ap nst‘ to his appeal to make it a great
da v.
The night service with its great can
tata so splndidly carried out and the
reading and illustrated pictures of Eas
ter. was one of the most helpful meet
ings of its kind held In the church.

Till' Methodist Missionary Society
met Monday afternoon at the church
with eighteen members in attendance.
An enjoyable program was rendered by
Circle No. I, the subject being Monterey
Mexico, in which place the society has
a flourishing mission station. Those
taking part in the program were Mes
dames tjuillian. Pirkle, Nihlack. Kil
gore and Horton. Miss Beulah Fergu

Great Crowds Attend
The Easter Pageant.
In spite of clouds that threatened
rain throughout the entire day, the
Easter services at the Methodist
church drew great congregations. Long
before Sunday school hour in the morn
ing the crowds began to assemble and
at night the crowd overflowed at every
door and window, standing room being
at a premium wherever a view could
he had of the Easter pageant, “The
Tomb in the Garden.”
Tills day was the climax of a series of
services that have broken all records
for church attendance in Winder. Es
pecially has this been true of the even
ing services and of the Sunday school.
At the former, the church has been
filled both at the extra song services
and for the preaching hours. The Sun
day school lias maintained a steady av
erage without contest or special feat
ures, that eclipses anything ever done
by this school In past years. At no
service recently have the two large
auditoriums been adequate to accommo
date to accommodate the entire Sun
day school.
The Junior and Primary children
gave a beautiful Easter program at
the close of Sunday school, while nt
the morning service, in addition to the
Easter music, the pastor preached the
Easter sermon on the theme, “Witnesses
to the Resurrection.”
The annual Easter pageant, for
which this sliursh is noted, and which
always draws many out-of-town vis
itors, was given at night with the va
rious departments of the Sunday school
teachers, choir and orchestra partici
pating. The scene was laid in Joseph
of Arimathea’s garden and to the tomb
oace tiie soldiers of Pilate, the women,
the angels and the disciples, telling in
the words of the gospels the story of
the Resurrection on the first Easter
morning. The interest was iptense
throughout, showing what impressions
were being made on the hearts of young
and old, as they saw. acted out before
them, the soldiers flying in fear, roll
ing away of the stone, the coming of
the women with spices, and the en
trance of Peter and John into the tomb.
Ahpropriate music was rendered
throughout by the choir and orchestra,
both for the crucifixion scene and tiie
resurrection. The entire company of
participants also took part in the Pro
cessional. making a brilliant sight with
their varied costumes as they marched
out of tiie church singing tin* Easter
hymn, “Christ, tiie laird, is Risen to
day.” Such a program is a spiritual
as a sermon. It was listened to with
even greater reverence, and made the
Easter story very real to those who
were privileged to be present.
Those taking the principal parts in
tiie pageant were Messrs. F. P. Page,
Hurrah Nowell, Elton Drake, Julian
Ross, Oarl Brooksher, Misses Montine
Robinson, Dorothy Rowland. Margaret
White. Flossie Henson. Allene Kilgore
and Edna Blancks. The directors of
tiie pageant Mrs. R. H. Kimball, also
Mrs. G. C. Moseley, who had charge of
tiie costumes, and Mrs. Will Burch, in
charge of tiie scenic background, de
serve much of the eridit for the suc
cess of tin* pageant. Miss Annette Qull
lian was director of the orchestra and
Miss Stella Cotter trained the young
ladies chorus.
The Sunday school orchestra render
ed several splendid numbers and added
much to the beauty of the service. The
members of tills efficient organisation
are Messrs. Wiley Barber, Sidney Eb
erhart, Frank Bondurant, Bertram
Radford, Sam Autry. W. C. Horton, Jr.,
Alton Young and Misses Willie Mae
Eavenson and Annette Quillian.

GRANDJURY
PRESENTMENTS
To the Hon. Blanton Fortson. Judge
Superior Court, Barrow county, Geor
crjjjl #
We the Grand Jury, sworn for the
March terms 11*22 of the Barrow Su
perior Court, beg to submit the fol
lowing report:
Through committees for the purpose,
we have —
Inspected chaingang and road prop
erty,
Era mined J. P. & N. P. Docket books,
Examined the books of County Dili
cers,
Inspected Roads and Bridges,
Inspected Jail and Court House,
Attached herewith are reports of
each committee.
The committee appointed to investi
gate the County officers Books, report
that all tin* books of the county have
te en audited by a certified public ac
countant and found no inaccuracies.
Everything seems to be in good shape
ami we commend our county officers
for the neat manner in which all the
books and records have been kept.
The committee apointed to inspect
the jail and court house, report that
they find everything in good shape and
well kept, except a break in the jail
floor and we recommend that this be
patched at once. We especially com
mend the sheriff’s wife for the neat
and cleanly manner in which she keeps
the jail and premises.
The committee appointed to inspect
chaingang and road property, report
tliat they have made a full examination
of the camp and find everything in per
fect condition. Also stock-yards well
kept.
The committee appointed to inspect
j. p. & N. p. Docket books, report that
they find all that was turned in to be
correct. The dockets from Bethlehem,
Chandlers and Cains districts were not
sent in.
The committee appointed to inspect
roads and blrdges report that some of
the bridges in the county need repair
ing. Especial attention is called to a
bridge on the headwaters of Beech
creek, a bridge across Butts creek..
This bridge has fallen and is impass
ble. Also the bridge across Marberry
('reek at the Smith and Thompson old
mill site. The roads in the northwest
side of the county are reported to be
in good condition, with the exception
of the road from Wood place begin
ning at main Athens road and run
ning southwest to H. P. Hardigree’s
and on and connecting back up the
Athens road at New Timothy station.
The roads on the south side of the
county average as good as they have
been heretofore at this time of the year
except the road leading from the Hog
Mountain road to Bethlehem. The Or
dinary should he complimented for his
efforts to put the county roads in good
don dit ion.!
We commend Judge Parker for not
paying Mr. Baldwin a claim of S6OO
balance due on contract on account of
defective work.
There has been quite an agitation in
the county to establish a City Court
and to employ county policemen.
After inquiring from all sections of
the county as to the wishes of the peo-
ple in regard to establishing a City
Court and employing county policemen,
we deem it wise for this matter to lie
settled by the people at the next gen
eral election. The majority of the
voters nt this election determining the
status of these two questions.
The congestion of the present dock
ets were partly caused by the war.
Several sessions of the Court were not
held, thereby causing the cast's to lie
held over. The wishes of the Grand
Jury are that further burdens of taxes
be not imposed upon our citizens. This
congestion was caused in the past by
the slow process of trying cases.
We recommend that the Court and
attorneys practicing in same he more
expedient in dispatching business,
thereby avoiding much dWay in hand
ling county affairs and thereby saving
the county money.
At the request of our Governor and
Solicitor Dean, we have investigated
the charge made by one. Rev. Henning
ham, that he was taken out of the city
of Winder by masked men and wliiyp
pd. We have thoroughly investigated
this matter aiul sent out subpoenas to
find Rev. Henninghnm. We do not find
anything on which to base any criminal
proceedings.
We wish to thank the Hon. Judge
H. A. Mathews who presided the first
week of the Court, for his courtesy
and able charge given our body.
We wish to commend the manner in
which our Hon. Blanton Fortson is ex
pediting business the second week in
dispatching business and imposing
chain gank sentences in liquor cases
instead of the nominal fine which is us
ually considered a license to deal in the
nefarious stuff.
We wish to extend our thanks to our
Solicitor General, Hon. W. O. Dean,
for tiie able assistance he lias render
ed our body.
We also wish to extend our thanks
to our efficient bailiff. Mr. G. B. Mat
thews. for the manner in which he has
waited on our body.
We recommend that these present
ments be published in The Winder
News and ten dollars he paid for same.
This the 4th day of April, 11122.

GAINESVILLE MID
LAND DEPOT BURNS
Monday moving just after 3:09
o'clock the Gainesville Midland Depot
and contents were completely destroy
ed by fire. The fire was not discovered
untii it had such headway that saying
the building or contents was impossible.
The heroic effort of the voluntary fire
department prevented the fire from
spreading to adjoining buildings which
were dangerously exposed. W. P. De
lta Perriere and Son’s warehouse and
H. J. Lott's warehouse were the ad
joining buildings and in these were
stored many bales of cotton and other
stuff vrflued at several thousand dol
lars. The depot at the time of the fire
contained more than $4,000 of freight,
partly covered by insurance.
The cause of the fire is thought to
be of an incendiary origin hut no clue
lias been found. Three strange men
who were in town early on the morning
of tlie fire were detained as suspicious
characters. They gave their names as
Chlpley, Stern and Gardner, of Atlanta,
two of them gave Attanta references.
After a thorough investigation they
were released as no evidence could lie
found to connect them with the confla
gration, according to the license tag
number on the Ford car they were
driving revealed the fact that it was
of an Augusta address.—Hoschton

Rev. S. R. Grubb De
livers Notable Address
The Greenville, S. C„ News makes
the following mention of a great ad
dress delivered in that city recently by
Rev. Stanley R. Grubb, recent pastor of
the Christian church of this city:
“An address in which he urged loy
alty to the nation, the church and the
home was one of the outstanding fea
tures of the afternoon sessions yester
day of the state Christian Endeavor
convention at the First Presbyterian
church, the address being made Dr.
Stanley R. Grubb, pastor of the First
Christian church of Columbia. It was
one of the interesting talks and discus
sions of the morning and afternoon dis
cussions.”
Prof. J. B. Brookshire is in Colum

cation association.
TAKING NO CHANCE
A colored preacher in Alabama had
at one time served a short jail sentence
and was fearful, lest Ills congregation
discover the fact as in his later years
he had been a model of rectitude. One
Sunday rising to begin his sermon, his
heart sank to see a former cell-mate sit
ting in the front row. Quick thinking
was necessary. Fixing his eye on the
unwelcome guest, the preacher an
nounced solemnly: ‘Ah takes mah text
dis mo’nin from de sixty-fo’th chapter
and fo’hundreth verse of de book of
Jot>, which says:
‘Dem ns sees and knows me. and says
nothing: dem will Ah see later.’ ”

Did you ever hear of a “sinking fund?” It goes by various names,
but that is a good one. It means a part of the profits set aside for a
certain purpose.
When times are good or just normal, set aside every month a part
of your profits, letting it accumulate in your bank. It will draw inter
est, and some day, when business is very bad that sinking fund will
come in handy.
