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. WAY-WORN TRAVELER. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gamp spent the I first of this week in Atlanta. Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, May 11, 1922.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. W.Z. HILL; 62 WAS PROMINENT CITIZEN AND ONE OF THE BEST MEN IN BARROW COUNTY. Our town was shocked Sunday to learn qf the sudden death of Mr. W. Z.

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.
