The Steady Subscriber
How dear to our heart is the steady
sultscriber, who pays in advance
at the birth of each year,
Who lays down the money and does
it quite gladly,
And casts ’round the offic<\a halo
of cheer.
He never says, ’’Stop it; I Jean net
afford it.
I’m getting more papers than now
I can read.’’
But always says, “Send it; our peo
ple all like it —
Jn fact we all think it a help and
a need.”
How welcome his check when it
it reaches our sanctum,
How it make? our pulse throb;
how it makes our hearts dance.
We outwardly thank him; we in
wardly bless him —
The steady subscriber who pays
in advance. —Amsco.
Perhaps Gen. Rosalie Jones ex
pects to succeed Leonard Wood
as chief of staff.
Some men were here this week
taking orders for clothing to be
made up and delivered frqrn a for
eign woolen mill. A halt was soon
called and the canvassers notified
that they must pay a local tax or
get out. That was right. If you
want to share in the benefits of the
local government, you should help
bear the burdens. Vet these howl
ers often place orders for printing
with Lucie Sam and side-line drum
mers of foreign printeries, and
smile over a penny saved, while lo
cal printers share in the burdens of
city government and the solicitor or
foreign canvasser goes unchallenged.
Verily, verily, the Little Brown
Penny makes strange business men.
Still, a penny saved is a penny
made, regardless of the command
to “do unto others as you would
have them do unto you.”
Recruit the fly-swatting brigade

Ilis resolution to be an Amer
ican President, rather than a Den
ocratie President. increases the
dignity of Mr. Wilson's job.
We’re not so all-fired locally
proud that we don't think there can
lie some improvement in this town,
but we rise to remark that few
towns in the state have handsomer
buildings than the one recently
erected by the Winder Banking
Company at the corner of Broad and
Candler streets, or a prettier depot
than the Seaboard is erecting here.
But, oh, you school-house.
What a paradox is the fire-house.
The city’s fire fighting apparatus is
housed in an unsightly ornament
to the center of the city, and one
that would’t be fire-proof at the
bottom of the sea.
Wages go up and the cost of li\
ing goea down. Next June ought
to do a rushing business in wed
dings and sweet little bungalows.

tion of things in a town is more effective than getting to work
with a purpose of doing something. About the most in
vigorating tiling we know of is an agressive spirit, and the
best tonic to begiu taking right now in big doses is earnest
effort for a greater Winder —for WE ARE BUILDING A
CITY HERE.
What lias already been accomplished has been done thru
concerted effort, and there must be no lull in the work.
Speaking of city-building, the Dublin Courier Dispatch says:
“Co-operation is the foundation of success. No one man or ten
men, however affluent or public spirited can build a city thru
individual or single-handed efforts. There must be co-operation
her people must, work together with ‘‘the spirit of the hive,”
unselfishly, loyally and with oneness of purpose —success. Just
as in any other large institution there must be organization —
systematic, business-like co-operation, without this, success is
slowly realized.”
Winder has made rapid progress in the past, and her
future is assured by the kind of effort that has been heretofore
put into her advancement. Because the town has grown,
she must grow, and right now is the time to take another
big dose of—SPRING TONIC.
Another View of the Subject, or “Scenery”.
Apropos of the article in the News last week, describing
the two new lakes being “made” (by man) at Tallulah Falls,
a lady sends in the following poem, written by her several
years ago. — Editors.
TALL ULAH
Efforts are afloat to establish electric power plants at Tallulah Falls;
also to cut down acres of timber in the forests above the falls. That
this beautiful work of nature should he thus disfigured, and developed
and utilized for mere money-making, is vandalism pure and simple. —
Raburn.
Virginia has its Otter Peaks and Natural Bridge; Oklahoma its
its Witchita Mountains; Kentucky its Mammoth Cave, California its
Vosemite. Georgia should preserve the falls at Tallulah as a monument
to its sentiment of the beautiful and grand- —John fern pie Graves.
A torrent plunging through the mighty hills,
A gleam of silvery cascades, rushing rills!
Great rocks by Titans hurled in years long gone,
Soft-carpeted by Time’s deft hand with lichens, moss and fern;
Majestic trees, with airy, clinging vines,
Amid whose garlands green, full many a blossom twines;
Dim heights that echo to the cataracts’ voice,
And peaceful vales where rippling streams rejoice;
Gray crags, grotesquely carved by centuries in their flight,
Whose mystery man may not read till dawns the future Light;
Great mountains clothed in grand, primeval gloom,
Yet decked in vernal hours with fragrant, starry bloom, —
Such are your scenes, Tallulah, of loveliness and might,
That fill the wondering soul with awe, yet sweetly calm delight!
L’envoi. ;
For beauty in myriad form is here traced —
By the rude hand of man be it never effaced!
May thy waters, Tallulah, unfettered and free,
Still proudly roll onward to meet the great sea!
Thy forests in verdure and beauty long wave
On the hills which thy pure sparkling waters now lave.
Let “Progress”, abashed, in reverence pass by,
Rebuked and subdued by thy grand harmony.
May thy glory unmarred by the spoiler remain, —
Secure from the vandal, thy picturesque fame!
The lakes at Tallulah may rival those at Toxaway in scenic attrac
tion; thev may be lovely—but they can never, never approach, in beau
tv and grandeur, those five wonderful falls at Tallulah just as God made
them. And the music of those mighty waters is to be forever stilled!
That grand hymn of Nature silenced!
“Sentimentalism?” Yes, and more. But who can stay the hand
of arrogant, ambitious, agressive Man, when he says: “Is shall he
done”? A highway upon the seas —long since; a magic chain beneath
the seas, connecting continents separated by thousands of miles of water;
a pathway through the air, a winged voice sent pulsating through the
silences, bearing messages from man to man; death-dealing electricity
changed into a willing servant of humanity —not only a servant, but a
veritable “Genie”. All this and more. Yet not enough! Man’s puny
hand, made strong by his wonderful brain, would reach forth and har
ness the munificent waterfalls of earth. So he it!
Of the sea it was said of old “Here shall thy proud waves be
stayed". But who shall repress the daring spirit of man, or set a limit
to his wonderful achievements? “Subdue the earth, and have dominion
over it”, i> a command not being set at naught in these latter days!

Covington News: —Nearly all the
good towns in MiddlejGeorgia have
organized trade bodies to look after
the interests of their respective mu

the very few really live, good towns
that so far, does not boast such a
booster bunch. It looks now
though that she will have one pret
