DR. E.F. SAXON DIED
SUDDENLY MONDAY
Or. E. F. Saxon, one of the promi
nent physicians of this city an<l sec
tion, uied suddenly in Atlanta last
Monday where he had gone for consulta
tion about his condition. He had been
in bad health for several months, spent
some time in Florida recently hoping
that he would he beneftt.ted by the cli
mate of that section. After his return
he seemed to be much better but later
his condition became again unsatisfac
tory, and he has not been doing so welL
On last Monday morning he went to
Atlanta to consult Dr. Omer F. Elder
about his condition. While in the office
of Dr. Elder he was stricken with pa
ralysis and died soon after, before his
wife, who left for Atlanta immediate
ly after hearing of his stricken condi
tion, could reach him.
The body was brought to Winder on
Monday night, and the burial occurred
'ednesday afternoon at two o'clock
from the Christian church, of which
tlxe deceased was a member. A former
pastor. Rev. John H. Wood, of Rome,
conducted the funeral services, paying
great tribute to the character and life
of the deceased. The wonderful floral
tributes gave eloquent testimony of
rlie high regard in which l>r. Saxon
was held by those who knew him, and
his splendid character.
The editor of the News has known
hi|i for twenty years, down In Oconee
county as he was just verging into
manhood. He was a fine young man
at that time. He made a splendid phy
siian and developed into a sterling
v’t./'en. When we came to Winder we
glad to renew our friendship of
fordu days, and the ties were unbrok
en down to his death. We were shock
-1 to hear of his untimely death in At
lanta, as were all his friends.
He was genial, pleasant, frank, depen
dable and one of Winder’s best ieti
zens.-
He graduated from the medical col
lege in 11)02, practiced his profession
awhile at Bogart and later moved to
this city where he practiced medicine
up to his death.
Dr. Saxon was 44 years of ag? at
the time of his death. He married Miss
Jurell Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Cl. IV. Smith, prominent people of this
section. He was happy in his horn ■ life
and successful in his profession.
Besides his wife he leaves a father
and mother, Mr. and Mrs. IJ. M. Sax
on. of Oconee county, three brothers,
Messrs. Thomas. Clovis and Albin Sax-
V>n. To these the deepest sympathy of
a host of friends is extended.

Great Interest In the
Methodist Revival.
Revival services in progress at the
Methodist church have been character
ized by a large attendance and deep
interest from the very beginning of
the series. The visiting preacher re
marked that in all his experience he
had never seen so large a gathering on
the opening night of a revival cam
paign. Several additions to tlitv mem
bership of the church have already
been made and the interest is increas
ing daily.
On the first day of the meeting Rev.
W. T. Hamby preached a remarkable
sermon on the Conversion of Paul. On
Monday night Messrs. Thomas and
Haynes of Emory University spoke to
a large crowd.
Rev. A. if. Stanford of Gastonia, N.
C., arrived on Tuesday, preaching for
the first time at the Tuesday night ser- j
vice, fully sustaining the reputation
that had preceded him as a forceful
gospel preacher. Bro. Stanford captur
ed the crowd at the very first service;
and the success of the meeting was as
sured by the impression made upon the
great crowd at the very beginning of
his ministry. Mr. Stanford is pre-emi
nently a gospel preacher, but his deliv
ery and manner are so attractive that
the congregation literally hangs upon
his words.
Tlie music under the leadership of
Mr. 11. L. Etheridge is proving u most
popular feature of the meeting. The
•choirs, senior and junior, are in six
sections and the chorus singing of these
hundred or more voices has seldom
been excelled. Mr. Etheridge, besides
possessing a solo voice of unusual
charm, bus the happy faculty yf being
able to get everybody else to sing, and
the results have been truly marvelous
Services are being held daily at 10
a. m. and 8 p. m., the morning service
lasting only for one hour. There will
be only one service at the church Sat
urday, this being at 10 a. in. for chil
dren and young people.
Sunday will be a great day with ser
vices at the regular hours and added
mass meeting for women In the after
noon, while the men will meet at the
First Baptist church.
This meeting is intended to help all
the folks of Barrow county of all de
nominations. and all of tiiese services
are open to the general public. The
wisdom of the simultaneous plan hV.s
already been demonstrated, for no sin
gle auditorium in the city would begin
to hold the folks wtio have been at
tending the night services at the va
rious churches.
MR. ARCH PERRY IS
DANGEROUSLY ILL
We regret to state that Mr. Arch Per
ry. a prominent citizen of this city, is
very ill at his home on Church street.
He is suffering from an uffeetion of the
heart and a specialist from Atlanta has
been summoned to his bedside. He has
hosts of friends throughout this section
who sincerely hope that he may recover.
Death of Mr. J. Harvey
Austin
We were sorry to hear of the death
of Mr. J. Harvie Austin at his home
near Bethlehem on last. Saturday morn
ing. April 29th, at 1:30 a. m. after an
illness of about, three weeks. He had

A PLEA FOR RETURN
TO RIGHTEOUSNESS
Old Fashioned Righteousness At A
Diseouut for Past Several q
Years. r ,A s
'A ' ’
Religious services are being held in
the various churches of Winder and a
vigorous effort is being made by our
people to purify our community life
and set ourselves right with our God.
This is the opportune time for us all to
think seriously of conditions in our
midst, to give ourselves to meditation
and prayer, and to challenge the prom
jw . g of our Heavenly Father, and see if
He will open the windows of righteous
ness and help us to build back some of
the broken ramparts of our business,
1 social mul church life.
I Old fashioned righteousness, that
■ righteousness taught in the Word of
’God, and that righteousness which
brings prosperity, peace and happiness
to a people has been at a discount for
the past few years. And we have gone
off after strange gods, the gods of un
certainty, of inflation and of unwise
business ideas and transactions. As
a result we have been well-nigli ship
wrecked upon the rocks of deflation,
and some of us have gone down beneath
tire angry waves of the storm.
It is time to call a halt. It is time
to get back into the paths of righteous
ness, to pray our God for forgiveness
and to sot our faces toward the king
dom of heaven.
Let us use the present days in which
men of God are proclaiming the gos
[,el of righteousness and salvation
in our city to find our Lord and to walk
in the I jeace > l >ro8 "
perit.v and happiness.
Righteousness is necessary to every
man and woman in all the affairs of
life. When we are right with God,
we are better merchants, better busi
ness men, better professional men, hot
ter farmers, better laborers and hettet
home-makers than we can possibly be
otherwise. When we get right with
God, we will have confidence in each
other, we will be honest with our fel
lowmcn, business conditions will im
prove and God will bless us. No busi
ness can succeed without churches and
schools, and no community can pros
per without these great institutions.
Hence, we beseech every one to at- ’
tend these meetings. Take time to get
closer to your Go t, learn His ways and
walk therein. It will do you good. It
will make you a better mail or a bet
ter woman. It will bring happiness
and joy into your life. It will bring
prosperity into your business affairs,
and our town and county will again
come into an era of good will towards
one another and success will crown our
efforts.
In the meantime, when you are not
attending church you will find our
-tore a good place to do your trading.
Best of goods and acceptable prices
will always be given you.
