Herrins Drug Store SPECIAL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ALL STRAW HAT DYE 20c Telephone No. 2. VOL. XXIX. GREAT DAY AT OMER CEMETERY SUNDAY FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE GATHER TO DO HONOR TO THE MEMORY OF LOVED ONES Many Nice Talks Made and Some Fine Singing. At the Noon Hour There Was a Plentiful Spread of More Than All Could Eat. MANY RELATIVES AND VISITORS THERE FROM OVER THE STATE. SEVEN OF WHOM HAD PASSED TIIE 75T11 MILE POST IN LIFE. 1 (HY C. M. THOMPSON) ON LAST Sunday morning that clever ahd efficient taxi-driver, Mr. Wil lis McDaniel, drove up with Joe Par ham and asked me to get in. I got hi and rode around a bit and met Ander son Sharpton and Sheriff Camp, who also took seats with us, and we went. Some laughable remarks were made by the king of jokers, Willis McDaniel, lie said something like tins: “We have h trump card, printer’s devil, printer’s liar and high sheriff, and what else?” Our destination was some five or six miles southwest of Winder. We went out the Reeves Mill road, passed -places of historical note, but as this is not a historical article we will not write some things. At the end of our jour ney whjch was the Dillard-Sharpton cemetery we found quite a crowd had already arrived, so mo in cars said some in buggies and drays. TheC occasion of this assembly was an annual memorial and home coming day. There were many nice talks made and some fine singing. At the noon hour there was a plentiful .spread, morie than all could eat, of the dainti est edibles, such as meats, stews, steaks, pit's, cakes and custards to please the most fastidious. Plenty of ice wafer which was much needed upon that hot hillside. We noticed among .the great crowd visitors from Atlanta. Clarkston, Statham, Campton, Thomp son's Mill, Bold Springs. Carl and Win der. This cemetery is about a quarter of a mile southeast of the home of the late Richard Sharpton and this land was given by him for this purpose. This land was once owned by William Dil lard, the fatlilr of Tom Dillard. More than a hundred years ago, Wil liam p.llard settled and built a house near this old cemtery. There was an Indian trail leading from the Savan nah to the Chattahoochee river and on this trail lie built near a good spring. This man came here when his son. was but two years old. This son was born August 15, 1795, and died March 25, 1884. He married Mil lie A. Stone, who was born August 20, 1797, and died October 20, 1575. About the time William Dillaru came here a man and Ins family while on a limit for a home, camped at this spring. While here a child sickened and died and was buried here. It was the first to be buried where we know as the Dillard Sharpton cemetery. The house tlmt now stands here is a portion of old Diner church which stood a half mile northwest of the cem etery. Omer church was abandoned when Carter Hill was built, and a part of the old church is used for burial pur poses. The grave of William Dillard is t.heVe, well cared for. Thirty-odd years ago the writer taught school a couple of miles north of this place and he noted the differ ence tht*n and now of men and manners, mode of coming and going and improve ments that have been. made. The greatest evidence of this improvement is their care of the place where their •departed loved ones are lain. If it was not for this respect towards the city of the dead Ave would be a close brother to the heathen. Now, I am a cross and crabbed old bachelor, but I saw some pretty girls over there and 1 am now telling them of it, and there are some good cooks, too, for I was pleased with the rich meats and custards I ate. While stroll ing I met Mrs. Elizabeth Hardigree, her son and his wife. This good lady was a sister of the late Richard Sharp ton. Others from a distance were I.etus Still and wife from Clarkston, C. IV. Hayes from Newnan. Rev. C. W. Mott, o£ Waycross, Rev. Ben McDonald of Mayasille. Rev. Owen Still, of Carroll County. Rev. Clarence Harbin and Rev. 'Guy Hardigree. So many preachers, so many good eats, so much good music and so many pretty girls to wait on you made the day a wonderful success.

WI-BA-CO CAMP FIRE GIRLS SOJOURNING IN THE MOUNTAINS, WRITES TO THE WINDER NEWS SOME DEVILISH DASHES. Last Wednesday morning a hunch of six of the livest girls ini Winder, to gether with Mrs. Paul Roberts and Mr. Sam Williams, left for a week's camp at Nacoochee. The weather was threat ening. but every girl was full of pep and determination not to let the weath er dampen their spirits, even if it did take the wave out of their carefully curled bobbed locks. The trip up here in the truck was great and thoroughly enjoyed by every one. The roads were a little muddy In places hut on the whole were excep tionally good. By three o'clock we reached our destination and began to straighoen things out and sun down found us fixed up in ship-shape fashion in our camp which is located on the summit of a young Pike's Peak. It was a lively bunch that gathered around the camp fire on our first night at camp. Everybody Was happy and feeling good and these red old hills of North Georgia rang with the voices of six husky camp fire damsels. Then came story hour when Motlcer Nee-Lo read camp tire stories, the kind that im plants high ideals and leaves vital mes sage in the hearts of girls in their teen age. Then the bells sounded for lights out and all the girls retired to their bunks that are built in Pullman fashion and all three stories high. They are a least hit hard, hut we just use Chris tian Science and imngine they are Pull man’s and soon our train of imagina tion rolls us on into the land of the sandman. We rise every morning at six. No, that’s not an exageration—we actually get up at six and begin our day’s wbrk. Two girls are chosen each day for K. P. duty and our cooking is not so bad. It was a wise old bird who said. “We can live without learning, We can live without books, Butt where Is the man Who can live without cooks?” So we are developing into pretty good chefs as evidenced by the state ment of Sam Williams that he is going to give the highest kind of a recom mendation for the camp fire girls to all the unmarried members of the male sex who reside in Winder. A part of the time every morning is spent in target practice and some of the girls are getting to le crack shots. Then conies the hour for swimming when a good time is had in the famous old Chattahoochee. Then dinner and quiet hour and some more swimming and supper. from homo and to hang around and get is going to the store to get the mail from home and o hang around and get all the village gossip and play cheeks etc. The people of Nacoochee are won derfully nice to us and seem to enjoy our visit amongst them. On Friday Mr. George Walker and family from Gainesville spent the day with us, and showed us a rippin’ time Their visit was enjoyed by all. To-day is Sunday and we have ex perienced the thrill of seeing some peo ple from home and having them spend the day with us. We had Sunday school this morning, for the 'religious part of a camp fire girls life is of the greatest significance. We expect to leave here tomorrow and go to Camp Hec where we will re main until Wednesday at noon when we will leave for home and expect to reach the metropolis of Barrow in time for a good hot supper. All of ns have had the time of our young lives and it is with deep regret that we near the end. But the memories of this week spent at the foot of Yo nah om the banks of the Chattahoochee will remain a long time in the heart of every girl and all of us are lookingfor ward to our camp next summer. But before bringing this article to n close there are two people whom we wish to mention Mrs. Roberts better known to the girls as Mother Nee-Lo) Is just toppln’ on a camp, She takes a mother's interest in every girl and puts forth every effort to make ns have a good time. She has gained for herself flic esteem and love of a grateful caVnp fire. And then. Sam Williams —well, we just couldn't have done without him— that's all. He's a splendid driver, a good protector and a dead game sport, and it will be a long time before these girls will forget our stay together at Camp Wi-Ba-Co. But our story is getting long and we must stop for fear of taking up too CAN MAKE COTTON UNDER WEEVILCON DITIONS, IS PROVEN The Shiftless Fanner, Though, Will Have A Hard Time Making A Living Farming. The farmers of Harrow county can make cotton under boll weevil condi tions. This is being proven by farmers throughout the county this year. Last Tuesday in company with Messrs. A. A. Camp, J. T. Strange, Obe Smith and R. L. Woodruff, we went down to a farm of Mr. Woodruff several miles be low town and found a field of splendid 'cotton that lias a fine crop of- bolls on it and no boll weevils. Mr. Woodruff has made this crop of cotton by the intelligent use of calcium arsenate. We can make just as much cotton per acre as we have ever done if we will go at it in the right way. It is true that we cannot handle as much cotton per plow under boll weevil conditions but we can make just us much per acre. v The boll weevil is going to keep the price of cotton up in the future, and now is the time when the hustling far mer is going to make money. He will prepare his land well, fertilize it high ly, keep the weevils off of it and get a fine price for what he grows. The shift less fellow is going to have a hard time to make a living farming. The boll weevil will put him out of bus iness.. We ought to begin to make arrange ments irlght now about growing our next year’s eotton erop. Every far mer ought to investigate thoroughly the various plans of killing the wee vils, and when he plants next year ar range to fight the weevil from the very b<‘ginning. There is going to be money made far ming, b<*eause farm products will al ways l>e in demand, and cotton will bring a good price, but we must work us never before. A visit to Mr. Woodruff’s farm will convince anyone that we can make fine crops of cotton in this county if we will go at it in dead earnest. The Winder News would like to hear from the farmers of the county as to how they have fought the weevil suc cessfully this year. We want to see our farmers thoroughly organized for next year so that we can successfully combat the weevil. Mr. Cliff DeEaPerriere has returned from an extended trip to Europe. lie reports an enjoyable time on tne oth , er side of the big pond. much space. In closing, we wish to thank all the people of Winder who I have co-operated with us in making 'this camp possible, and we hope to ■convince every one that the camp fires | stand for the highest und best things , in life and it is our chief desire to I render valuable service to our town 1 and community. If you Winder folks ever want anything done just call on the camp fires. We are always ready fund full of pep and every one would believe it if they could hear us around the camp fire every night, singing: i “I'p at Camp Winder where the pep is high, They say it goes so high some time it reaches the sky, There’s somethin up there that’s above the rest, It calls from us our best. It shows in our work and in our play, Not now and then, but every single day, It makes us glad to do our work don’t know, 'lt's the spirit of Wi-Ba-Co.

Mott, has just received word from (the Ford Motor Company in Atlanta that a vacuum cotton picking machine will be one of thb interesting exhibits )it the Southeastern Fordson Industrial Tractor Show to be held from August 29th to 31st inclusive. ' Many mechanical pickers and har vesters have appeared from time to (time but none proved practical. 1 This machine according to Mr. Mott sucks the cotton free from the boll in stead of tearing it free. Large nozzles or funnels are fastened on the ends of 7<ig hose. These are connected to the machine in which is installed a power ful suction fan. 1 The nozzles or funnels are lowered over the cotton plant and the suction draws the cotton free and deposits it jn a twig. In the process much of the seed, is extracted also. This machine derives its power en tirely from the Fordson Tractor. Mr. Mott states over seventy maiiufactur- Vrs of industrial an<J agricultural equipment have combined with the Ford dealers of Atlanta and surround ing territory to exhibit many other machines of as much interest as the [Vacuum Cotton Picker.
