We wish it required gasoline

The city assessors made the tax
rate fop 1013, $1.30 on the thou

of giving an electric day current.

his own political neck in old

The Ninth district doesn’t need
the advice or assistance of Sena

of her congressman, and when he
butts into her internal political
affairs Tom Bell’s brash band
will furnish music that will have
doeful sound to the unfortunate

there are no vacancies for stu
dents and no more applicants
need apply. Coupled with these
requests is/ veiled notice that
the shortage of room is due to
lack fo appropriations from the
state treasury to provide more
quarters for students. Appropri
ation appears to he the main
desideration of all public insti
tutions days, and various
are the ways they employ to get
it. —Oglethrope Echo.
Rottetn at Both Ends
When a hundred or more of
the hundred alnd forty-nine coun
ties in the state draw more out
of the state treasury than they
pay in there is certainly some
thing wrong either with the rev
enue raising system or the appro
priations of the revenue. Such, a
wrong ought to he found and rem
edied. —Ogelthrope Echo.
The Winder Dry Goods
Company
The Dependon Store
In making my debut in Winder as a progressive
merchant, I am perfectly conscious of the entire
situation. I realize that I am measuring my
time with merchants who are equal to current
conditions. Merchants who have broken off the
rough edges and are now enjoying the confi
dence and esteem of this community.
Knowing this to be true, I realize that my way
is Open and clear. lam not entering Winder as a
DISTURBER but a DISTRIBUTOR of dean mer
chandise through PERFECTL Y CLEAN methods.
The Dependon Store will be replete with every
detail of equipment and service.
Individual for its perfectly polite attention to its
patrons.
The newness of its showings each season will be so
absolute the frequenter of other cities for their
requirements cannot justify themselves for leav
ing their home town.
Stay at home with me this fall and let’s make this
store the pride of Winder.
The store will be reliable, therefore desirable as a
buying place.
Depend on us for your wants. We will show
the new things always.
The Dependon Store will OPEN for business Oct. Ist .

And the sun is shining bright.
Yes, easy to laugh when your friends are true
And there’s happiness in sight;
But when hope has fled and the skies are gray,
And the friends of the past have turned away,
Ah, then indeed it’s a hero's feat
To conjure a smile in the face of defeat.
It's easy to laugh when the storm is o’er
And your ship is safe in port;
Y’es, easy to laugh when you’re on the shore
Secure from the tempest’s sport.
But when wild waves wash o'er the storm-swept deck,
And your gallant ship is a battered wreck,
Ah, that is the time when it’s well worth while
To look in the face of defeat with a smile.
It’s easy to laugh when the battle's fought
And you know the victory’s won:
Yes, easy to laugh when the prize you sought
Is yours when the race is run;
But here’s to the man who can laugh when the blast
Of adversity blows, he will conquer at last,
For the hardest n an in the world to beat
Is the man who can laugh in the face of defeat.
