had “thrown knives sight unseen,
blade or no blade.”
Here’s to you, Buddy; may vou
live long and continue to prosper.
The price paid Mr. Elder for his
ninety acres was $27,500.
FAULT FINDING.
We suppose that al! small towns
arc burdened pretty much the same
way, and as the genleman referred
to in the following clipping visits
Winder occasionally, we commend
the comment by the Elberton
Star to our readers:
“Had you ever noticed that the man
who always finds fault with every
thing and everybody is generally
the man who does nothing.
“If a newspaper makes a mistake
he is the first one to notice it. If
an unfortunate fellow happens to
go wrong, the idler is the first per
son to note his mistake. He stands
around on the street corners and
attends to everybody’s business,
localise he lias none of his own
He knows who comes to town and
who goes away
“ Talking about women gossipers,
the man who idles on the street can
beat an old maid a mile and give
her the first lap, when the question
of talking about tilings and people,
is considered. He know? about as
much about bridling his tongue as a
salt water negro knows alxiut eti
quette. Men who has something
to do, run when they see him com
ing. He is worse than a phono
graph when it comes to repeating
and can talk faster than an Ameri
can soldier can pump lead from
a repeating Krag.
“He can be in more places than a
flea. And it i? a pity the framers
of the Constitution did not possess
enough foresight to place something
therein where the town gossipers, of
the male gender, could be placed in
confinement in order to let people
who attend to their own business
travel their own way through life
without bring molested with this
human nuisance.
GOOD ROADS.
The patrons of the rural routes !
out of Winder had better keep their
weather eye on the roads and see to
it that they are kept in good condi
tion. Postmaster Smith has re
ceived a letter in which the follow
ing paragraph appears.
“You are directed to inform
yourself with reference to the con
dition of roads and bridges on the
rural routes out of your office, and
if you find they require improve
ment you should present the mat
ter in the strongest and most posi
tive way to th? patrons and road
officials, informing them that im
provement must be made as soon as
practicable. If after a reasonable
time has elapsed, the improvements
have not been made or started, you
will report the fact to this in order
that action nmy be taken looking
to the discontinuance of the ser
vices. -u-u-uw^n.

Editor Winder Nows, Winder,
Ga. —Dear Sir: No thought of mine
has appeared in the columns of your
paper for more than ten long years.
Many has been the* changes and
varied have been the scenes since I
was one of the founders of your pa
per in your beautiful little city. ,
While far away amid scenes
strange to the boy reared in our
southland and among people of dif
ferent nationalities, memory lias
kept bright some of the characters
I have known from boyhood in
Jackson county.
The character I wish to speak of
just now, and to which I specially
call the attention of the young men
who may read these lines, and the

young men of the sixties, who
marched, hungry, on Yirginia’s
frozen soil, and faced death upon
many fields, is Captain Thomas L.
Ross, who, at this time, at the home
of his loving daughter, Mrs. Mary
A. Wood, lies prostrate and help
less, waiting for the summons that
shall call him to join that host who
have “crossed over the river, and
are resting lieneath the shade of the
trees.” Captain Ross is one of the
most wonderful characters I have
ever known. Asa man among men,
he stands as a peak in a mountain
range. Forty long years have I
known him, having met him when
a sixteen-year-old Ixiy. If my mem
ory does not fail me, during the
forty years of our acquaintance,
among the high and the lowly, the
rich and the poor, the white and
the colored, I have never heard his
motives questioned or his character
assailed. To me he stands as a
wonderful character, with few
equals and no superiors. From my
boyhood that peculiar handshake
and expression ot the eye and coun
tenance has charmed me, as evi
dence of the nobility of soul and
magnanimity of the inner man that
shone out in such a matchless life.
When he passes from the mortal,
natural scenes of men to that exist
ence of the pure and the good, there
will have gone from among us a
man who craved not the riches of
earth to that extent that he would
wrong his fellow man; who craved
not the honors of men at the ex
pense of character; one who has so
lived that, as the hour approaches
when he must cross the divide and
go into the Great Beyond, can, in
pleasant anticipation, when the
summons comes, “draw the sable
curtains around him and lie down
to peaceful slumber. Well do I
know that when those eyes are
closed to look no more upon the
loved scenes of earth, many will he
the rare flowers placed upon his last
resting place and many will he the
expressions of love and esteem.
My only excuse for penning these
lines is to encourage the young man
to imitate such a life, and in the
hope that he may see and feel in
that brave, noble heart of his the
tribute 1 bring l to such a life —the
richest legacy a father can bequeath
to his children —a spotless life.

Time Will -Test
Your Furniture.
You can find out all the weak
spots by waiting, but* this isn't a
waiting age. So when you buy
furniture you want to KNOW be
forehand that it will keep all the
promises made about it.
Onr store is ready to assure you
of this.
So carefully do we buy, that
far as quality is concerned you
might safely pick out whatever you
like with your eyes shut.
If you decided the question of
style the same way, you wouldn’t
go far wrong. But of course you
must use your own judgment in
this respect. When may we ex
pect a visit from you? Come.
