We have known all along that our friend. Editor Townsend, of the shining Nugget, was an ordinary, hank director, editor, proof-reader, farmer, money lender, and many other jobs around Dahlonega, but we never knew before that he was a poet. We do not know whether he is a natural born poet, or whether the mountain dew that cir culates rather freely around Dahlone ga has gone to his head and touched the musical instrument that Hi's hid den there and caused it to vibrate. Be that as it may, he has gone to writing poetry and put us to singing it. Here is the latest from his facile pen: We see where they captured 475 gal lons of mountain dew up near Dahlon ega last week. And we were just pre paring to go up with Bill McCants to make our friend Bill Townsend a visit. —Winder News. No, Brother Mc- Whorter is not coming to Dahlonega. He couldn’t be tied away from Winder now because he is deep in love, not with any town or country editor but — and can be frequently heard singing: When I’m asleep I'm dreaming about you, When I'm awake I take no rest, Every minute’s just like an hour, Oh the pain that’s in my breast.

J. Justus.” So again you see it pays to advertise—Dahlonega Nug get. Winder Hi Smothers Braselton High. In a one-sided game here Tuesday the Hi School gridders rolled up the score of 55 to 0 on the Braselton Hi boys. They had already played the Braselton boys once this year and beat them 32 to 0, but this did not satisfy them, so they clamped on this bitter score of 55 to 0. People, any team that rolls up 55 points is carrying that pigskin. The Red and Black warriors of Winder Hi have been going at a fast clip. So far this year they have not lost a high school game and have rolled up 202 points to their opponents 18, and not one point has been scored on them by a high school team. So far excellent, but fellows, don’t slack up and go stale for you have got a hard game Friday and a stiff schedule yet to fight through. Winder meets an Atlanta Hi school Friday and with your backing will turn the Fultonites from our pasture a sadder but wiser bunch. Don’t rile the bulldogs if you don’t want to hear him growl. T. F.
