Patrons Highly Pleased With High Class Production Played by the New Management. The Strand Theater opened up Tues day under the management of A. F. .Carselle, with “The Sheik” as tlie at traction for two days. Despite the fact that Tuesday night was graduating! exercises at the school, a good house i witnessed the performance, both af-j ternoon and night on Tuesday and Wednesday. The picture lovers were highly pleas ed with tlie picture, with the lightings, the manner in which they were put on the screen and the improvements al ready being made. Tlie new management will in a siiort time re-finish the walls, place chair covers on the seats, put in dark lights overhead, making the soft, moonlight effect and a number of improvements will be made just as fast as they can. The new manager has already dem onstrated her ability as a manager of a motion picture house, by her untir ing efforts. Tlie attendance upon the showing of Tlie Sheik also demonstrated the fact that Winder people preferred a high class attraction even at a higher price than a cheap picture free. Tlie attraction tonight is n high-class picture featuring Elaine Hammerstein in “Pleasure Seekers" and is a beauti ful society drama, and anew picture. On Friday night Ethel Clayton will be the star in a feature picture. On Saturday Wallace Itied will be seen in a great picture, together with a 2-reel comedy and a Mutt and Jeff attraction. ■ We hope tlie picture going public will see these pictures and show an appre ciation of a high class program such as the new management is showing. Another thing that is of great im portance to a good picture, and that it be put on tlie screen right. This the Strand is doing In tlie Sheik you could not tell where one reel ended and another began. This was due to the ef forts of Miss Louise Carselle, daughter of the manager, who is one of the best projecting machine operators in the state. We believe everybody will appreciate the good pictures that will now be seen at The Strand and will show their ap preciation by seeing them and telling the management if they like them. Button! Button! Who Has The Button? Whose got tlie duplicate to my button? J. C. Stickney, Secretary of tlie Baiy row Couhty Chamber ,of Commerce has secured a number of the Prosperi ty Week Batons: Tlie holders of duplicate numbers of these buttons will receive free tick ets to all the shows of the Prosperity Week celebration, which is held in At lanta Slay 29tli to June 3rd. You can get these buttons at Win der Drug Cos. Wear the button in some place on your coat or dress where the number can lie plainly seem. When you find the duplicate of your number, both wear ers will plea-p call at the Chamber of Commerce olfice, and will be told how to secure tlie free tickets, when in At lanta. Watch for your duplicate number. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. D. F. Thompson are congratulating them on the arrival of a son at their home. The fffork brought him last Friday and he has been named Daniel Fleming, Jr. • • • Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Robinson had as their guests Sunday, Mrs. T. A. Robin son, Miss Nltrocris Robinson and Messrs.

Fair met a few days ago, and after some discussion, pro and eon, it was decided to hold a fair this fall. Dates, October 2nd to 7tli. It was the consensus of opinion that the fair was needed worse now than ever before, as the farmers are looking to diversification and not so much to cotton. Tlie 1921 fair demonstrated that the farmers are Interested in making a liv ing, and some cotton while tlie boll weevil gets part of the cotton. The ex hibits were equal to any in the state and all told called in premiums two thousand dollars ($2,000.00.) In view of the excellent exhibits made last year, it was agreed that tlie premium lfiff should remain as high as last year. However,, with a chance of no cotton crop this fall, it is a ques tion as to the "income of tlie fair being sufficient to pay tlie big premiums, lint it will lie taken. Almost every pre mium will be the same as last year’s. In doing this the directors ask the co-operation of the farmers, and busi ness men of the county. Let every farmer begin early to set aside specimens of tlie different crops io lie used in a display this fall. All boys and men who have good cows, hogs and chickens, are requested to have them ready to show. Cows, hogs and chickens, with corn, wheat, oats, peas, fruits, vegetables, os well as scores of .other farm products and the ladies building full of home work will make a big show. It is hoped that an indus trial exhibit can be arranged. Every business house and every factory will lie Invited to take part. Altogether it will be a big show. There are a few shares of stock for sale at par value payable in the fall with out interest. All parties interest ed in anyway can address P. O. Box 324, or call phone No. 236, or come to secretary’s office over J. B. Lay’s store. If you want to buy stock let us know. If you want to make exhibits, tell us about it. By order of Board of Directors. STATE BAPTIST CONVENTION NOT TO BE HELD IN MONROE. Owing to tlie fact that Georgia Bap tists feel that an unusually large at tendance should be worked for at the next annual convention in November, and feeling that such a large gathering would be too great a tax upon the peo ple of Monroe, tlie executive committee, through Secretary B. D. Ragsdale, lias offered tlie First Baptist church of Monroe its services in changing the place of meeting.

BUSINESS MEN MET WITHA.W.M’KEAND AT COURT HOUSE Many Points of Special Interest to Winder and Barrow County Cit izens Was Touched on by This Special Representative Mr. A. W. McKeand, the personal representative of Secretary F. H. Ab bott of the Georgia Association visit ed Winder on last Monday, as was an nounced in tlie Winder News of last week. A number, of Winder’s influential business men met with Mr. McKeand at the court house for an hour s discus sion with him. Among the many points of special interest touched upon by Mr. McKeand were the following. Tlie Georgia Association is an amal gamation of tlie old Georgia < hamber of Commerce and the Georgia Land Owners Association. Each of these or ganizations did a lot of very splendid work in advertising, immigration, tick eradication and other worthwhile work for Georgia. Tlie Georgia Association is officered by a group of tlie best business men in the state, whose time and money are freely given without hope of material reward in any way, realizing that en lightened selfishness demands a part of every citizen’s time and finance for the general good. Tin* officers are scatter ed over the state, and represnt practi cally every line of business endeavor. Tlie organization is supported in its finances by two fnnds: One a mainte nance fund, subscribed by the larger visioned business men of tlie state cov ering the office salaries and expenses. Tlie other fund is known as nil adver tising fund, and is made up from coun ty contributions varying according to tlie land area, tlie population and the wealth of the county. The main purpose of tlie association is to bring first-class native-born, or naturalized American farmers, to cul tivate intensively Georgia’s unused, or badly used acres; to get away from tlie tenant system; to make each farm a factory to return to the soil through the live stock and dairy industry nat ural fertilizers instead of commercial. Naturally the advertising and sales manship that attract this type of peo ple will attract Investors in other lines aside from the farm indusry, tint ev-. cry well posted business man knows that the real foundation of all wealth comes from the farm. The plan of advertising is paid space campaign in papers and periodicals, tin* preparation and distribution of properly prepared booklets; one cov ering the historical, sentimental and scenic side of Georgia, for distribution to encourage tourists to know Georgia. A specially prepared booklet on agri cultural and industrial Georgia. Raid newspaper space in a selected locality for each co-operating county. A bul letin hoard system covering the main traveled highways of the state. Special series of Georgia stories. A plan to cause each jiersoii to use ou their sta tionery, literature, catalogs and in ev ery way possible, a small outlined map of the state of Georgia, urging people to know it better. In an informal discussion after Mr. Keund's talk, it was decided in order that an opportunity might be had for more of Winder and Barrow county citizens to meet Mr. McKeand, that he would advise us again, that a meeting would advise the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, when he could visit us again, that a meeting be held under the auspices of tbe Barrow Coun ty Chamber of Commerce, which date they hope to announce In next week's paper.
