FORD AG’CY UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT The Winder Motor & Tractor Cos. has bought the entire stock of the King Motor Cos., and has taken over the Ford agency in this city. The Messrs. King Who have owned an interest in the business for some time and Mr. It. L. Rogers, of this city, are the owners of the business. Mr. It. L. Rogers will he manager of the business. Their place of business will remain at its present location at least until January Ist, 1923. Dr. C. B. Mott, who has managed the business for nearly two years, retires and goes to Atlanta to practice his pro fession of denistry. His family will move to that city shortly. Mr. Rogers, who will manage the business, is a well-known business man of this city. He will push the Ford and Lincoln ears and Fordson trac tors in this territory and will keep on hand Ford parts and maintain a gar age service as has been done heretofore. We wish the new company great suc cess and feel sure that under the effi cient management of Mr. Rogers it will succeed. THE NEW AND OLD M. E. PREACHERS Rev. J. M. Tundin, the new Method ist pastor for Winder, is one of the strongest preachers in the North Geor gia conference. He comes to Winder from Marietta where he has done a fine work and is held in the highest es teem by all the citizens of that city, re gardless of church affiliations. He was pastor of the Decatur Methodist church for four years, going to that church when it was at a low ebb, and by his fine work and wise efforts made it one of the strong churches of the confer ence. The News Joins with our citi zenry in giving the new pastor and his family a cordial welcome to our city. He will arrive next wt*ek and will be gin his ministry on the Fourth Sunday morning. Rev. L. W. Collins preaches his fare well sermon at this place next Sunday morning. For two years he has led the people of his denomination in Win der and his ministry in our midst has been one of upllftment and progress not only to bis own people but to all our citizenry. We see him leave with regret. The editor of the News is glad to claim him ns a close personal friend, and onr association for two years has been very pleasant indeed We feel a personal loss in his removal. He goes to a fine field, the First olmrch in Elberton. He will make good in El- j berton as he has made good in Winder. His splendid wife has made a host of friends in Winder that regret to see j her leave. They can rest assured thnr they will always receive a cordial wel come in our city. More Homes Are Needed For Winder. One of the important enterprises of this city would double its plant if it could secure homes for its employees. Winder needs a number of houses that could be rented at a reasonable price* to people who could secure employ ment here in our manufacturing en terprises. It strikes us that this is a fine opportunity for someone to invest money in safe ways and at the same time help Winder to grow. Winder has grown wonderfully in the past, and she is going to grow right on if our iK'ople will continue to invest their money in things that will help the city along. The enterprise mentioned above is ready to double its plant, and add SIBOO weekly to the pay roll of Winder if it could get houses for its workers to Live in. Shall we let this enterprise go to some other city with its added equip ment? Now is the time to believe in Win der and to pull together for her up building. J. L. SAUL. ,T. L.

REVIVAL AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH | Beginning November 20th, a series of revival meetings will be conducted at the Christian church by Dr. Roy Linton Porter, pastor evangelist, of Alliens. Ga. Dr. Porter is a strong and forceful speaker. The Winder church is to be congratulated in securing his services lor this meeting. Every one should hear Dr. Porter’s soul-stirring gospel messages. A full house is anticipated at every service. Come early and secure seats. TWO WEEKS IN | CHATTANOOGA! W. 11. FAUST. Several months ago the writer re wived a cordial invitation from Dr. T. W. Callaway, pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle in Chattanooga, asking that he hold a minting for him during the Simultaneous Campaign in the city. It was accepted with pleasure, for the Tabernacle is the second church in the city in point of membership, and is one of the most deeply spiritual bodies in the country. Among the Georgians preaching in the campaign at the same time were I>r. Bolton of Madison who assisted Dr. VV. L. Pickard at Central. Dr. De- Vane of Cedartown, who was with Dr. U. S. Thomas at St. Elmo. Dr. W. K. Owen, who was at Highland Park with Dr. Phillips. Evangelist T. F. Calla way of Macon, who was with Tallent at Rossville. Chattanooga believes in having the Bible read in the schools. The different preachers spoke at the schools, Y. M. C. A., factories, shops and on the streets. Hundreds united with the churches during the campaign. While in the city it was a pleasure to visit Mrs. Smith 1 well known to W r inderites. She and her family are doing well and prosper- I ing. Genial Bob Higgins and family came around and took me for a drive around the city. Mrs. Shackelford, formerly Miss Kowena Shedd, was also among ttie Winderites in Chattanooga. There are many places of interest in and around the city. From Atlanta to Chattanooga is one vast battlefield with monuments and tablets scattered ev erywhere. Chicknmanga Park is wonderful. Fort Oglethorpe is located there and j numbers of soldiers are still quartered there. It was interesting to see the calvary drills and the polo playing- In 1863 occurred the buttles that made famous well known generals. The Federals had 59,000 men engaged. The Confederates 55,000 and it is interest ing to note that 25 per cent of men en gaged on both sides were killed. One of the most daring feats of mil itary history was the storming and taking of Missionary Ridge by General Thomas. Another was the famous bat tle above the clouds by Hooker. Ihe thing that impresses me though was the idea that there wasn’t really any battle above the clouds. The Confed erates had withdrawn before it devel oped. Among the famous Federal generals engaged were Grant, Rosecrans, Thom as, Hooker, Sherman, Howard, Garfield, Sheridan, Wood. On the Confederate side were Gene. Forrest, Polk, I). H. Hill, Cleburne, Hood, Buckner, Bragg, Longstreet and others. k jxiokout Mountain with its Incline railroad is interesting and thrilling, if | you don’t think so take a ride and i while going up you will be glad that i you are a cfiristjan. The National i cemetery is a plaee of much concern to | visitors. The soldiers involved in the I famous “General” runaway who were killed are buried there and a statue of the "General” marks their last resting place. Missionary Ridge lias some wonder - . fully interesting views. From Braggs ; tower one gets a fine view of the entire i city. This is specially fine at night. Signal Mountain. Moccasin Bend, Cam erons Heights are superb. I doubt if In America there is any more beautiful | views than one sees from Signal Moun tain. In 1840 Chattanooga’s popula tion was 500. Today it is 120,000. Some growth. Sort of like her sister, .Atlanta. |. Every moment of the two weeks was ; enjoyed. In fact Chattanooga's hos pitality is very much like Georgia’s. It is a great city with a miraculous fu ture. The greatest bargains to be had in Aluminum ware, Stoves, Rugs and lots of other things for sale at THE PARKER FURNITURE CO. NORTH GA CONF.

Hardwick Says Mrs. Felton Net Entitled To Seat in Senate. Mrs. W. H. Felton, Georgia’s woman senator, lost her title on the day of the election of her successor, ami she will not hi* entitled to sit with the United States senate when it convenes next Monday, is the opinion expressed by Governor Hardwick, by whom she was appointed. “I don’t want to hurt Mrs. Felton's ft*elings,” said the governor, “and I hesitate to offer her any advice until she asks me for it. But I will say that according to the law of the nation amk of the state of Georgia she hasn’t the shadow of a title to a seat in the sen ate. Whether her successor, Walter K. George, is declared officially elected whether he qualifies and is sworn be fore the senate when it convenes Mon day is beside the question. Mrs. Fel ton ceased to hold the title on the day of the election according to the lavf i and there is no way of getting around it. WATCH WINDER. Athens, Ga.—“ Watch Winder.” This is th<* warning that is going the rounds in High School circles iu Northeast Georgia ns the Northeast Georgia Bas ketball Tournament plans go forward. Winder fought brilliantly last season and came very nearly winning the championship, at the first High School touraoment ever held in this section. Sixteen teams will play in February here for the district championship. More than sixteen may enter. The tourney will no doubt be the biggest ev er staged in Georgia in High School circles, perhaps in the south. Whaler will no doubt prove a formid able foe in next February’s tournament. No. 30
