As on aof the ministers of our splendid littleyity. as one who has free access to the Columns of The Win der News, second to no weekly newspa per in nil the land, sheer gratitude alone, just common honesty compels me to speak a \> .>td of praise. Several times during the few months of my residence in this goodly community. I have asked for i extra copy of The News to clip sotlie invaluable article. To-day I found oni my desk two such duplicate copies, and they stirred up my pure mind by way of remembrance. Of course every riul/ie servant of Win der keeps a file j>f the News for con stant reference, ijor no man. preacher, lawyer, educator, doctor, farmer, hank er. merchant, no man can keep un with our great town and county and section without a file of the Winder News for ready reference. It so happens that the writer has to preach to the whole hunch. McWhorter.

JUNIUS T MAYNARD CROSSESTHEDIVIDE PASSED AWAY WEDNESDAY FY ENING, APRIL ITH. 1213, AT THE AGE OF 76 YEARS. After a long and consecrated life the Death Messenger came into the home of Mr. Junius T. Maynard, one of Win der's most highly respected and deeply reverened citizens. He was converted to Christian service in early life and faithfully followed bis Lord for three score years, ten and more. Mr. Maynard was born in Jackson county, Georgia. May th. 1847, and was raised into heaven April 4, 1923, after an illness of a few months. On December 16. 1860 he was mar ried to Miss Isabella Lott. To them were born nine children of whom eight are living, with twenty-eight grand children. Five sons, Marion, Hilliard, John, Marvin and Paul and three daughters, Mrs. Tanner, Mrs. Sell, and Miss Mamie, will miss his companion ship and good advise. The greater part of his consecrated life was spent with his good wife who preceded him to Heaven by six years in making a home for their children— a home that they would cherish forever and never cease to love —and in train ing and shaping their precious lives thattheir destinies might not he de termined by the blowing of tlie wind. His success for his part was all that could lie wished for, the home was one of tenderness and love. His sons and daughters are living worthwhile lives and are honored and respected by men wherever they go. To them he left an example of hope, faith and charity. Among the favorite Bible readings were the first, fifteenth and twenty third Psalms and the thirteenth chap ter of Ist Corinthians. The funeral services were held at the First M. E. Church Thursday af ternoon at four o’clock by Rev. W. T. Hamby, Presiding Elder of the Gaines ville district, and a long time friend. The fioral offerings were beautiful and partially rendered the reverence of his relatives and friends. The mu sic was appropriate and very sweetly sung. Rev. J. H. Mashburn was requested to come but he was not very well and therefore sent a letter of regret and sympathy saying “I regarded your father as one of the best men I ever knew and counted him as one of the truest and best friends I ever had.” “Father, go thy way inside the gate, Where many eager loved ones wait. Death is but larger life begun.” Winder Ladies on Board of Education At the meeting of tlie city council of Winder on Tuesday night of last week, two of Winder’s leading women, Mrs. W. M.

April a 111 M year, out of the Ag oga class at the Baptist Tabernacle, were organized a group of Christian Workers, which were given the name of “Flying Squadron.” This group has conducted services in the many differ ent towns over the State, and much has been accomplished for the advance ment of God’s kingdom where they have gone. The Baraea cla.-s of the Winder Bap tist church anticipated having them come to Winder the first of the year, hut for some reason they were unable to get an engagement with them. Some weeks ago. Mr. Fortson, president of the class and the pastor, Rev. J. M. Dodd succeeded in getting iii communication w’ith their booking manager, Mr. Out law. and in a letter from him last week, stated that they hud so many en gagements hooked, was the reason that they could not till this engagement at an earlier date, hut that they would be here on Sunday night, April 2-nd. It Ls hoped that all who can. will avail themselves of the opportunity of at tending this service—will do/ yeu good to bear these fine men a'bi. women. We nr.' specially glad <f?.t they are coming, for our own “Reds Barron is coming with them. Red ir* President of the Agoga class from which the “Squadron” was organized, and it is said that this is the largest class of men in the State. “Red” is one of the greatest football players in the south, and it was in the beginning of his ath letic career that he lived in Winder. All who know him love him, and we feel that he still Iwlongs to us, and we welcome him with Mrs. Barron back home on this glad occasion. There is another coming whom we arc all very much acquainted, tho many of the Winder people have never met, this is in the person of tlie above. Mr. Morgan Blake, the man who “spirits” the Sportflnic eruptions for the Atlanta Journal. As we peruse tin* contents of each and every one of his letters day after day, we keep closely in touch v.Ua him. and notice with intense in tense his appointments and disap pointments. Duhh had earnestly prayed that Von Hermann would dish out a fine balmy Master Sunday that he might don that new Easter toggery, but was disap pointed as Von did not hand out that beautiful brand of weather he so much desired. He had that $40.00 over coat, alias “Slickem” takpn to the presser as a precautionary measure, so as to not disappoint any one of his class at the Tabernacle, rf it should be a ehilly Easter Morn. We have just received a message by wireless that he has become reconciled over this disappointment and building his hopes on making bis appearance in that new gray for the first time, in the Winder Baptist church on Sunday even ing, April 22, at s :00 o’clock, if Von Hen-man permits. His wireless reads: “There’s big doings scheduled at the First Baptist church in Winder, Sun day night, April 22. Tell them t’m com ing. Yours without a struggle. Dubb.’ The Flying Squadron consists of some 20 or 25 memlierß, some of these are as follows: Mr. Lonnie Smith, teacher; Pete Phillips, associate teach er of the class. Miss Nell Warren, sponsor of the class. Cecil Wellborn, chorister of the Squadron; Hoy Liddell, pianist; Miss Corric Hoffman and Ralph Richardson, Dr. Rolan Stoker, the President of the Squadron; (’has Outlaw, Booking Manager, and Mrs. Roster Johnson, secretary, and a num ber of others. This service promises to be the best of its kind in the history of the Win der Baptist church. CLASS REPORTER. WINDER BAPTISTS! ATTENTION! The Enlistment Committee of the First Baptist church will pay you a friendly, fraternal call next Sunday nf ternoon beginning at 2 o’clock. Open your doors and hearts to these men who love the work of the church and who seek to establish the closest rela tions among all the membership. Much of the success of the meetings depends upon this visit. Make it count. Tax Notice. The city tax books are now open to receive your tax returns for 1923. The bo-'ks will close May 20th.— J. R. Ar nold, City Clerk. - • Superior Court adjourned last Fri day night after two weeks of lrusy ses sions. | In the damage suit of Mrs. Vella Mac Smith against the City of Winder and the Georgia Railway and Power Cos. brought on account of the death of Mrs. Smith's husband about four years ago, was settled, the defendants paying Mrs. Smith $6,000.00. Criminal eases were taken up Mon day of last week. Rob Moon, who was charged with rape, was found uot guil ty. Henry Wall, charged with the mur der of Clyde Miller, was likewise found not guilty. This ease attracted much interest and the court house was crowded during the trial. Mathew Stinchcomh, who was charg ed with assault and battery in connec tion with the MeCleskey negro near i Stadium, was likewise found not guil ty. Marion Gridin and Harry B. Hayes, Vharged with burglarizing the office of the Motor Inn Filling Station and tak ing money from the cash register and taking away tin* safe, were not tried. They are still in jail. A SERIOUS CALL TO WIND’R CHRISTIANS The one big opportunity <>f the year for Religion, Business, Homes, Schools, Progress, Ijoth moral and national, will have come on Sunday. April 22, just ten 'days ahead of ns. There cannot be any misgiving here, not the slight est room for doubt. When men of all creeds and of no accepted creed agree to close all doors but those admitting the Divine Guest, the power of the liv ing God is giving to be released upon that people without measure. Therefore, we who subscribe our selves your servants and the servants of the Most High call upon all believ ers in Winder to magnify the eventful (lays beginning, Sunday, April 22. A Call to Prayer. Nothing worth whole will be accomplished during the special meetings without prayer, much prltyer. earnest prayer, unceasing pray er | cottage prayers, church prayers. There must be prayer that gets things, that reaches God, that releases the elk erg ies of infinitude upon sinner* whither saved or unsaved, i A Call to Faith. If we arc not to have unconquerable, unfaltering faith in God. we would as well close the cam paign to-day. Men cannot save men. Only God can save men. And God saves men only through faith in Jesus .Christ, for “in none other is there sol vation : for neither is there any other name under Heaven that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.” ' There are some in our midst who are far from God in their thoughts, but when we have faith, it will be easy to bring God nigh to them and them nigh to God. “Fear not, only believe.” A Call to Personal Effort. God’s method is, one man going after another man. Andrew did, and the other man was Ids own brother; Phillip did. and the other was Nathaniel, a skeptic; by self-giving devotion Stephen did, and the other was Saul of Tarsus, the great est infidel ever won to the Christian faith. “Whatsoever tliou shalt loose on earth”—lf unsaved men in Winder slip through our fingers to Hell, their blood will he upon us, not upon others. A Call to Make Christ First. "Seek ye first His kingdom (His reign in our hearts) and His righteousness (in our lives). Shall it he mid of us also, “We will not that this man reign over us?” God forl/d. All Winder’s interests will improve when we cease to be spiritual anar chists, when we allow Jesus Christ, the Son of God to occupy the throne in our hearts, as it is His sole right to do. A C'aß to Surrender. If we are go i;,g to withhold ourselves from God, and if we are going to keep ourselves defiled with the offensive things that grieve the Holy Spirit; if we are not going to surrender time , thought, heart, influence, effort, and all to Him, there is no use to begin a campaign. ..Probably the Campaign will he won in these ten (lays, from to-day, April 12, to Sunday, April 22. Pentecost was during the ten days of prayer pre ceding, How shall we use these tea days? J. M. TITMLIN, Pastor Methodist Church. E L. BHELNUTT, Pastor Christian Church. J. M.
