iBARROW COUNTY
AND WINDER
The atmosphere is charged and sur
charged with poisonous vapors and gas
es. Heat and cold coming in contact
with each other produce a wonderful
effect. It produces clouds and puts
them in motion. The elemtnts seem to
have nothing in common harmony, each
seeming to be at war with each other,
pandemonium reigning supreme.
These warring elements float across
the form of a destructive hurricane or
a ruinous whirling cyclone, they deal
out to man and beast much suffering
and death. We weary not at this but
[charge it up to natural laws of couse
(quences.
Now, when men go to war with each
other and for 'days, mouths and years
strive as earnestly as nature’* elements
to gain the victory, and peace is reach
ed and a treaty signed all seems over.
But, no, murder is in the heart of many
aind it takes years after a treaty to
: calm down to actual peace. The hur
ricane or cyclone may blow by, a sil
very cloud may come or a sunuy day to
appear for us but the influence of these
■etorms are still felt.
In the meantime lawlessness reaches
far into the future following a disas
trous war. This wave of murder, law
lessness and crime can be traced from
days when men could not count accu
rate tim&
Then great and powerful states sent
the cream of her manhood across the
seas and taught them a lesson that
will follow them to their graves. It
taught some that it was right to kill
and others the principle of “rule or
ruin.” These came home and are
now. with the help of the erring ones
at home, keeping up this wave of crime
that is disgracing us from Mexico to
Canada'ami from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. •
How long, oh yc simple ones, will ye
love simplicity? How long will you
roll under your tongue as a sweet mor
sel the error of a brother? Why will
you flaunt the story before the public
as a matador would ami flag before a
beast.
Barrow county Is a deserving brother
and Winder her faithful child. Why
let the news-monger flatter you with
his wide-minded imagination and make
you roar with laughter at seeming
recklessness of her citizens? For a
i truth, we are above the average in wom
anhood anid service to onr country.
You may stain our reputation but
you cannot harm our character. We
are a charitable people and turn none
from our doors. We wish uo one harm
and pray that all may prosper. We
hare stood steadfast while the hurri
cane of adversity has blown by and the
cyclone of nefarious lies have beat up
on us and twisted woefully our abode.
Next, don’t forget that “as ye sow
shall ye also reap,” and the manner of
the sowing of some men long gone and
others yet here will produce a crop
worthy of the gathering, and It will
pay the man who chances to live in a
future day. Truth crushed 1 to the
earth will finally rise. Yes, shine like
a morning star when the hurricane and
cyclone have gone by and been forgot
ten.
Some malicious or notoriety seeking
person has seen fit to write some un
truths about Winder, and some thought
less printer saw fit topublish these
falsehoods stating that our women and
children dare not stroll upon the
streets and our men all went armed.
It is our hope
that you were
pleased with the serv
ice we have given
you this year. If a
continued study of your
needs will help us im
prove that service in 1923
it will be improved.
You may rely on that.
The year now drawing
to a close has been suc
cessful. Here’s hoping
that you will find 1923
even more so. And a
good thought to carry
into the NewYear is this;
“Dependability counted
in 1922.”
It’s likely to repeat.

EACH DOLLAR BRINGS FIVE MORE
The United States Public Health
Service reports that the expenditure
f $50,000 for rural hygiene work on
the co-operative plan in the last fiscal
year led to the appropriation of five
times as much by States and counties
and of a good deal more by private in
dividuals and corporations.
Pneumonia, sore throat, colds and
respiratory diseases are with us, and
for the next few months we should be
careful in coming in close contact with
other people, avoid closed places
where people are not well. Many of
our winter diseases so-called are
spread by secretions from the nos* 1 and
throat.
Diphtheria is a dangerous disease,

When the child complains of a Bore

Our women and children are ns safe
as if they were escorted by a squad of
malitla. No one dare molest them un
less it be some devil incarnate and
were ho to do so, he would meet a
speedy trial and have justice meted
out to him. This same paper intimated
that the officers were mot doing their
duty. Now, we have a good and true
sheriff and nothing shakes him from
lib path of duty, and a more efficient
set of policemen does not fill the place
in any city than those of Winder.
Such reports are small hurricanes
and cyclones passing by and are harm
less.
