The Home of the Soul.
In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach,
most likely for the reason that a man
is never so completely used up as when
his stomach is out of order. For the
pure of ordinary stomach troubles,
there is nothing quite, so prompt and
satisfactory as Chamberlain’s Tablets.
They strengthen the stomach and enable
it to perform its functions naturally.
Give them a trial. They only cost a
quarter. Advt.

Statham School News.
A “Made in Georgia” Day and a rally
day for the benefit of consolidating a
number of schools in Barrow county,
with the Statham High School, was held
here May 27, 1922.
The entire morning was given to the
consolidation of schools during which
splendid speeches were made by Supt.
Brookshire. Prof. AV. M. Holsenbeck, of
AVinder and Prof. P. F. Brown, of the
State Normal School, at Athens.
Dinner consisting only of Georgia
raised products was later served, after
which Miss Mary Creswell, of Athens,
Mrs. A\ r . M. Holsenbeck, and Mrs. G.
A. Johns of Winder, gave splendid talks
on Georgia and her resources.
A goodly number of people, not only
from Statham, but from all parts of
our county, enjoyed this rally day.
Moves To Atlanta
Mr. Henry J. Langston and wife leave
to-day for Atlanta where they will make
their home in the future. He will en
ter actively in his new field as soon as
he gets located in that city. His com
pany, The Ph. Morton Art Bulletin Sys
tem, has already added the state of
Florida to his Georgia territory, and
Mr. Langston is now negotiating with
a large concern in Tampa, Fla., to in
stall that system in four states, which
will amount to several thousand dol
lars.
The Ph. Morton Art Bulletin System
is the oldest and largest concern of its
kind in the Unified States and Canada,
frequently entering into contracts with
different concerns to use their system
in a number of states. It might be
profitable to some of the business men
in Winder to confer with Mr. Lang
ston with reference to putting “new
life” into their business with his fine
system of advertising.
SUNDAY' WILL BE GREAT DAY
AT HEBRON.
Next Sunday June 4th, will be a
great day in the history of Hebron
church near Dacula. The exercises will
be interesting throughout, with a sump
tuous dinner at the noon hour. Several
from Winder will attend.
A BOY HELPS HIS FATHER
There was the case of a little boy in
Georgia. He wanted to put an acre in
corn because all the other boys in the
community were doing it under the
government agent’s instructions. His
father said he could not spare the acre
of land and added, “I do not believe in
this new fangled book farming. I know
more about it than those fellows in
Washington.”
At last he grudgingly let the boy
have an acre of land, ground which
under the father's system of farming
had yielded nineteen bushels of corn.
The boy went to work and obeyed im
plielty all the orders of the county
agent and the result was a croo of 85
bushels from that one acre.
That floored the old man. He look
ed up the county agent and said: ‘I
will plant my land just as you tell me.
You know more about farming in a min
ute than I do in a year.”
THE WINDER NEWS
! Hog Mountain Section.
Just west and near the Barrow and
Gwinnett county line which runs from
Hall county corner to Freeman’s Mill
begins a ridge which rises between the
waters of the Appalachee and little
Mulberry. On the northeast of this
ridge was the home of our old friend,
John M. Poole. This ridge is travers
ed by the Hog Mountain road to Hur
ricane Shoals. Mr. Poole tells a sto
ry told him by his father who lived on
this ridge something like this:
In days when the Creek or Coosa In
dians which were the same tril>e that
occupied this country, there lived on
this ridge an Indian by the name of
Hog. He was a noted chief and from
him this ridge got the name of Hog
Back Mountain. This mountain or
ridge reached up to or near what we
call the Hog Mountain House. Many
years ago a white man came and built
a trading post where the Hog Moun
tain House now stands and much bus
iness was carried on between the In
dians and whites.
Some few years after this, as trade
increased, a name was needed and it
being at the southwest end of tills Hog
Back ridge, they named it in honor of
tins Indian chief and ridge the Hog
Mountain House. The student can find
that prominent highways run from and
to this place, as foljows: Hog Moun
tain road to Monroe, to High Shoals, j
Hurrican- Shoals, Jeffeflson, Gaines
ville, Buford, Duluth, etc.
I wish some aged sire of the Hog
Mountain section could give me the ear
ly settlers of that place that I might
put it into history.
