WINDER HIGH WINS OVER GAINESVILLE On the local gridiron last Friday the Junior Bulldogs of Winder Hi defeated the maroon tide from Gainesville by the score of 19 to 0. Folks, it was the best Hi School foot ball game the writer ever had the pleasure of witnessing and easily the best game ever played here. Both teams fought hard and clean. The vis itors bud a eleun bunch of fellows, real sportsmen, but they came down expect ing an easy game, and the red and black jerseyed surprised them. It would be hard to pick an individual star. Every man was right in, playing his position like a veteran. Peewee Robinson, the diminutive sig nal barker, pleased and thrilled the rooters with his generalship and fear less clipping. He is, without doubt, the best general that ever pulled on a Whaler Jersey. He reminds one of the brainy Buell. With little Jimmy call ing the play, Big Brother John toting the pigskin and “Lord Chesterfield’’ J. I). rushing the water bucket, the Rob inson family is well represented. Flash Hale was a shining star, snab j bing the perfect passes thrown by Big Joe, his fellow townsman. Paige and Rheats at ends caught some pretty ones also. On defense, the boys that mind ed Gainesville touted delayed like buck was Red Camp, Lonnie Crow, Iss>n Perry and Captain Jack Melton that deceiving delayed buck that so mys tified the heavy Commerce team seem ed like an open Ixjok to these stalwarts and too much cannot be said of the work of Frank Harris, the cool snap per back. He is a steady snapper and a whale on defense. Coach Paige sent in the scrubs in the last quarter. My! How those boys did scrap. Every one of them showed up well and with a little more expe rience they are going to make football players. This bunch of swine skin clams go in action here next Friday in Valley Park against Fulton Hi, of At lanta. Everybody be on hand and see this bunch fight the Fulton Horde, for they are out to smear their rep and, folks, we have a team worthy of our backing. Let’s go. “T. C.” J.

And this In spite of the fact that stio was condemns! to death by the only jury that lias ever been given an op portunity to pass upon her case. On Saturday, Mrs. Vinson was grout ed anew trial. Immediately her attor neys entered a plea of guilty. Without a moment’s hesitation the judge sen tenced her to life imprisonment. Mrs. Vinson walked into her lnm band’s office and shot him in the back. She had no semblance of justification for this dastardly crime. She offered no excuse save that he was seeking a divorce and that she was determined that no other woman “should have him.” A jury of honest, God-fearjqg tmen heard the evidence. They realiz ed that the foulest sort of a murder had been committed. They remembered their oaths as jurors and said that she should die. And within less than a year (letitioii* will be circulating; men and women with more time and mawkish senti ment than sense will lie pleading for the release of this red-handed daugh ter of Cain, and another murderess will be walking the streets soot free, her contemptuous smile, an encour agement to others who would follow her example.—Athens Daily News.
