THE WINDER NEWS. Published Every Thursday Evening —by — KOSS CANNON- R. O. ROSS, Editor. C. R. CANNON, Business Manager. Entered at the Postoffice at Winder, Ga., as Second Class Mail Matter. Thursday, January 13, 19/0. Will the Atlanta Journal give us another cartoon showing the condi tion of the state treasury? Isn’t it surprising how many good rules you know for raising other people’s children.

There was a further break in the cotton market Wednesday, making the third sensational slump in a week. March and May have de clined about a hale in the -last week. Then* seems to be a good deal of wrangling going on in the ranks of theG. O. I*. But they will get to gether before 11)12. There is not much chance to seriously split those high tariff robbers.^ In a eollison with a streetcar on Peachtree Road, near Atlanta Mon day afternoon, an automobile was wrecked and three young men lost ther lives. Reckless driving seems lo have been tin* cause. The Philadelphia heiress who eloped during the holidays with her waiter lover, has lieen found in Chicago and returned to her doting grandfather. The heiress and pet dog go into seclusion while the waiter goes to court. Dave Yining and Pete Cornett were found guilty of unmercifully whipping a prisoner while he was icon fined in the Atlanta stockade thy a Fulton county jury Wednes day afternoon. This is one of the rotten stockade cases now being in vestigated in the capital city. Hen 1 is the wav the Alpharetta Free Press puts it: “The outlook now is that John Holder will go hack to the state legislature and be Te-eleeted speaker. He has been Urged to run for congress, and he is without doubt the strongest man in the Ninth district, but he will not run this year.” BIG UNO DEAL. “The P. M. Elder place, contain ing ninety-two acres, a portion of which is under cultivation, the re mainder being virgin, passed into the ownership of five lucky San fords residents last Saturday, pre sumably for terminal purposes for the Sanford and Everglades Rail road Company.” —Sanford (Fla.) Herald. Philip Elder left Jackson county thirty years ago, He is a brother >f Sidney, Nathan, George, Dave Mid Dr. Elder, all good citizens of Jackson county. While we rejoice in the good fortune of our child hood schoolmate, we insist that he square up that Barlow knife deal, thirty-seven years ago, when, after chasing us two miles into the school- room, he had our sister, the teach er, make us “rue back” after we 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. Captain T. L. Ross. Jkkkekson, Ga., Jan. 11, ’lO. 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 S. T. ROSS & CO.

ROSS’ OFFICE IS LOCATED IN OUR STORE. 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.
