Information concerning the dis
appearance of thousands of the
broad and fertile acres of .Jaek

paid bills all over th.e coun-ry.
Great is this shrinkage, yet not
one word have we heard from
those “dirt lovers” who are
weeping copious tears over the
possible parting wWh a few acres
to the creation of Harrow county.
Brother Shannon, here is a good
place for a few more weeps. But
of course you wiish to leave it
“to a vote of the people with
no political entanglements.” Any
way, these acres have disappear
ed and you people who “will not
part with narry a foo*” should
get busy and offer a reward for
them.

except they will not wear the
police uniform and will he called
probation officers instead of
patrolmen. These four wotnen wil,
be regular members of the city
police force and will be under the
authority of Chief Heavers and
Chief Langford of the detective
department. The chief believes
these women officers will be of
the greaVst aid to him in solving
the vice problems that he has to
contend with. It, will also he a
part of their duty to guide
strangers and young girls who
are in the city, and to protect
them from evil.
Wal.onians who are howling
about the county being in debt
in their efforts to defeat Barrow
county, could render Walton
county a real service if they
would explain to the taxpayers
just what is responsible for the
indeb ness. Anyway, we believe
if these calamity howlers will
give Judge Emmett Williams a
chance he will soon straighten
‘he tangled affairs of Walton’s
finances.
Tax Digests of Walton. Gwin

that more land has been lost in

each mili ia district, and a di
rectory printed showing the num

or and nmnnher of acres.
Taxation \vi limit represen

taxpayers residing in this neck of
the woods were not consulted
when certain of her “fertile
aeivs’ were disposed of and the
cash used in promoting other
county enterprises.

The following resolutions havt
been passed by the City Coun
cil of Winder and transmitted to
The News for publication :
It is with very great sadness
that we chronicle the death of
one of Winder’s efficient officials
Our circle was broken by that
arch enemy of mankind and from
it disappeared one whom we all
loved and one whom we all ad
mired. He was one of nature’s
noblemen- — generous, true, a
friend. We speak of Alderman S.
E. Sharpton who departed from
this life on May the sth, 1913.
Asa man lie was true-hearted,
faithful to his friends, of whom
lie had many scores, generous to
his foes of whom he had as few
as any man.
Asa husband and father he
was loving and kind and good,
and his loss to his family is irre
parable.
Asa citizen he was prog
ressive and aggressive for all that
stood for the uplift of this sec
tion and this community and bis
impress upon the material prog
ress of Winder is seen on every
hand.
As an official he was zealous
for the betterment of his chosen
city and his official yets were a
bove reproach and evidenced a
desire to make Winder a greater
and better Winder.
Therefore, be it resolved: That
in bis death Winder has lost an
efficient alderman, an upright
citizen and faithful official; that,
the community at large has lost
a generous and kind friend whose
place cannot be easily filled:
'that the greater Winder of which
he dreamed .has lost by his death.
Resolved further, that this res
olution be spread upon the min
utes of this body and that a page
be devoted to his memory; that
an engrossed copy of this resolu
tion be presented to his family
under the seal of the City of
Winder and that the same be pub
lished in the Winder News.

monster, Death, invaded the hour)
