A Way-Worn Traveler
Expresses His Gratitude
Tc The Nowell Hotel.
I have traveled the rural districts,
the country villages, the small towns
and the large cities. I have always
b, at privileged to stop in the best
homes and hotels throughout the coun
try and I take this occasion to say,
that 1 have found but few places where
they serve as good and wholesome
meals, and furnish as sanitary and com
fortable beds, even at much higher
rates, as the Nowell Hotel. Winder, Gn.
I pass this along to the “boys” whose
duties call them “out on the road" and
from home, to fight the hard daily
business battles for their families and
the big boss, and conclude by saying:
when vou feel weary in body and mind,
and care-worn at heart, just drive in
and spend the night at the Nowell Ho
tel and there you will find many of the
home-like comforts, which will make
you feel equal to any task for the to
morrow.
I say this out of a heart full of grat
itude to Mr. and Mrs. Nowell, for what
they are doing for the welfare of the
traveling men who pass their way. and
they have absolutely no knowledge of
this act.
my creed.
Do not keep the alabaster boxes ( >f
vour love and tenderness sealed up un
til your friends are dead. Fill then
lives with sweetness. Speak approv
ing. cheering words while their ears
can hear them, and while their hearts
can be thrilled and made happier by
them: the kind things you mean to say
when they are gone, say before they go.
The flowers you mean to send for their
coffins, send to brighten and sweeten
their homes before they leave them.
If mv friends have alabaster boxes
laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of
sympathy and affection, which they in
tend to break over my dead body, I
would rather they would bring them
out in my weary and troubled hours,
and open them, that I may be refresh
ed and cheered by them while I need
them. I would rather have a plain
coffin without a flower, a funeral with
out a eulogy, than a life without the
sweetness of love and sympathy. Let
s learn to anoint our friends before
hand for their burial. Post mortem
kindness does not cheer the troubled
spirit. Flowers on a coffin cast no fra
grance backward over life's weary way.

HARDING URGES
‘PRINTERS’ INK’
“Use printers’ ink—advertise
liberally but judiciously,’” Gov
ernor Harding of the Federal Re
serve Boards advised business
men of the south in Birmingham

ing of the Southern Wholesale
Dry Goods Association.
After predicting a bright fu
ture for the business of the na
tion and praising the recovery
thus far from the effects of the
war, Harding said:
“Remember that this country
of ours has never failed to dem
onstrate its tremendous recuper
ative powers, and that the pro

and consumption will continue as
long as humanity endures.

MR. W.Z. HILL; 62

ONE OF THE BEST MEN IN
BARROW COUNTY.
Our town was shocked Sunday to
learn qf the sudden death of Mr. W. Z.
Hill, one of the best men and one of
the leading citizens of this city. He
was sitting at the breakfast table when
death came. While he had been unwell
for some time no member of tin* fam
ily had any idea that the end was so
"near, and his sudden death was a great
shock to them
His funeral was preached at the
Christian church Monday afternoon.
Rev. John H. Wood, of Rome, and a
former pastor, conducting the services.
He was burled with masonic honors
jpid interment was made at the Chapel
churchyard.
He leaves a devoted wife and two
sons, Brady and Homer Hill, to whom
the deepest sympathy of a host of
friends is extended.
Mr. Hill was about 62 years of age
and united with the Christian church
many years ago. and was a loyal mem
ber of the same. His Christian virtues
stood out clear and distinct and he was
always looked upon as one of he best
men of this county. He was a member
of the masonic lodge of this city and
was held in the highest esteem by his
brethren of the order. In all the rela
tions of life he was faithful and true,
devoted to his family, true to his
friends and _a valued cßizen of this
city and county. If everybody was as
faithful, true and honorable as Billie"
Hill, what a glorious country we would
have. Peace to bis ashes.

The United States Department of
Agriculture Moving Picture Film of
this title has been secured by J. C.
Stickney, Secretary of the Barrow
County Chamber of Commerce, and
will be shown at the Strand Moving
Picture House on Saturday.
This picture. Mr. Stickney is advis
ed. shows the poisoning work and the
control effected by It, and it is hoped
that every cotton raiser in Barrow
county will make an effort to see it.
Admission will be FREE, but as it
is sent out by the Department of Ag
riculture for tTie Information of those
growing cotton or personally interest
ed in the growing, children will not be
admitted, unless in order for their par-j
ents to see the film, it should be nec
essary to bring them.
This regulation is necessary owing to
the small seating capacity of the the
ater, and the fact that the time of run
ning the picture is restricted.
Come and see the picture, and tell
ns what you think about it, so that the
department may have a full report of
its value.
SOME POLITICAL
POINTER NEWS
The Walton News, in talking about
politics, says, “At the last Senatorial
convention, held in Monroe, at which
Hon. George A. Johns was declared
the nominee of the party for this dis
trict, a resolution was introduced and
passed allowing Barrow Do furnish
the senator for two terms. Jn view of
this fact, it is likely that Senator
Johns will not have any opposition.
“Judge Blanton Fortson’s term as
Judge of the Western Circuit of the
superior court expires this year and
although he has made no official an
nouncement it is known that he will
tie a candidate to succeed himself. He
lias made hundreds of friends around
the circuit and has become one of the
most popular judges ever to sit on the
bench. It is generally be
lieved that he will be elected again
without opposition. Solicitor Gener
al IV. O. Dean’s term does not expire
this year.”
Dr. James A. Crawford is actively
in the race for congress against the
present incumbent, Hon. Thomas M.
Bell. Dr. Crawford hails from Steph
ens county and lias been in Winder
this week looking after his candidacy.
As to the lower branch of the gen
eral assembly, we presume that "Dick”
Russell, Jr., will be a candidate to
succeed himself. He made a splendid
record during the past session, win
ning the approbation of his constitu
ents, and we are sure that he will have
no opissition should he announce for
th(> position again.
Practically all of the state house of
ficials, from Governor down, will be
voted on this year. It is reported that
Cliff Walker will oppose Governor
Hardwick year, while a hot race
is alretrL' -a between A. O. Blalocok
and J. J. Brown for commissioner of
agriculture.

PERSONALITY
Personality is the dominant factor in
all business.
Everyone of our thousands of cus
tomers knows that personality was th?
force behind the great success of J. T.
Strange Company and that this very
same personality is today dominating
the Strange Company.
Personality plus value In merchan
dise, plus service to our customers are
the triple foundation tin which this
business is erecting its growth. But
the greatest of these is personality.
And personality will continue to be the
greatest.
In the meantime, we invite you to
join us at 10 o'clock A. M. for one hour
and fenst on the great spiritual uplift j
now going on in our midst.
