Winder Cotton Market
Spot cotton sold on the streets
of this city today at 13:40 for
good middling.
Less than one per cent of the
boys and girls of th's nation entef
college. Wonder if this is the
reason she is so prosperous.
We owe to others as many kind
words and cheerful smiles as
we can bestow. Life is what we
make it , and kind words, fitly
spoken often heal bruised hearts.
Eighty-one per cent, of the fam
ines of the United States lire in
rented houses, and! eight per cent
live in morgaged homes. Still,
she is the grandest nation on

We aj'e proud of the new Sea
board Station in this city, but
why the Seaboard authorities do
not- put, iin a phone for the ac
commediation of its patrons is a
puzzle.
Th> telephone exchange keeps
a night opreator for the ngeomnio
data Ip j! of the public in the. way
oif milling for physicians and in
quiring about trains. But tile
co\U*tesy is -useless so far as the
Seaboard is concerned, that road
omitting tin* phone from the new
station. I
Big Gain in Jackson ,
*„• W +
The figures giv'en out by Mr.
E. Ij. Williiamsfoin, compiler of
Ginners’ Reports for Jackson
county, shows that up to Novem
ber 1, 1913, com|pared w : th the
same date last .war, there have
been) ginned in this county 7,667
more bales than Were ginned to
November I, 1912. At S7O per
bale for cotton and cotton seed
this would give the farmers of
the county $536,690 more money
than they had this tmie one year
ago, not to mention the differ
ence in the price paid for the two
years . t ‘
If this rate of increase keeps
up to tile end ami the price re
mains good, the banks, as well
as the pockets of our farmers
should Is' wall filled with the
coin of the realm.
It is safe to say tliat Walton
and Ow nnett have also increas
ed proportionately, lfl.it we have
no figures on these counties.
This showing, added to
fact that the farmers contiguous
to this chy have,' ms a rule, made
good grain erops, should make
this section one ofthe most pros
perous in the entire state this
year.

Forest fires generally come when
they are not needed for heating pur

Who, looking upon the season's hats
for men, can doubt the fulness of per

Occasionally you meet a foreigner
or a college professor who calls it
“pumpkin” pie.
“Oerms can get into fresh eggs,”
declares a scientist. And they can
also get Into scientists.
Wonder if the St. debutante
who sold wall paper knows how it
seems to be a wallflower.
Another thing to worry about! In
200,000 years the Dig Dipper will be
no more, so astronomers say.
Possibly you are thinking of the
feasibility of raising potatoes instead
of grass on your lawns next year.
Devotees of golf should frown upon
those explosive balls. The language of
the game Is sufficiently explosive.
Real language, boys, real language!
Hearken to the sporting writer who

Kansas City has been consuming a

Although umbrellas were Invented
In 1777*, no one has found a corner

The Pennsylvania telephone girl
when told that she was heir to a
large sum of money probably said,
“number, please."
In seven years the United States
government has Inspected 377,000,000
animals, not one of which appreciated
the honor conferred.
Again are the farmers in that smil
ing attitude, “you city guys can kid
us all you want to, but look at that
1913 crop's money bag.”
Persons who travel in some coach
es these days should not think too se

Still, that college professor who
abandoned teaching to peddle popcorn
and hot dogs may be an exceptionally

Since the golf championship has

Gold output in the United States
decreased $3,439,000 last* year. This

Gordon Whitehead is response
Me for this:
An old darkey drove into town
Tuesday morning and applied to
him for a dorffin for a dhad baby.
Always careful about details and
sympathetic by nature, Gordon
asked:
“What caused the baby s
death.”
“ Dunno, replied the old. ne
gro.
“What doctor did you have
with tlve baby.” ,
“None. Didln’t need any doc
tor. The i>aby died without call

Wonder and Envy of World
The Macon Telegraph says:
“ For sixty years the Democrat
ic party controlled the destinies
of this country, during its fiortna
tive and most prosperous period.
Unfortunately that partyi got
ground to pieces in the revolution
of the Sixties, and was held to
tlve earth for a number of years
after the war. Its return to pow
er under Cleveland wlas of short
duration owing to the internal
dissensions which the free sil
ver issue brought. That issue
iad to be finally and forever elim
inated before life and vigor could
come again to the party of the
people. The war prejudices and
the free silver scare having pass
ed away, there not seem to
be any good reason why the par
ty of Jefferson Jackson, Tilden
and! Cleveland should hot remain
tojnakfc more illustrious a young
nation which has been ypon^.
Why I Should Buy at Home.
An exchange gives the follow’-
ing reason why one should trade
at home v and what is good for
some other man’s town along this
line is good for Winder, so we
pass his reasons along to oar
readers: * !
Because my interests are here.
Because tile community that is
good enough for me to live in is
good enough for me to buy in.
Because I believe in transact
ing business with my .friends.
Because I want to see the
goods I am bribing.
Because I 'want to get what I
buy when I pay for it. I
Because my home merchant
wsll take care of me when I run
short of cash.. I
Because some part of every dol
lar I spend at home stays at
home and helps work for the wel
fare of the city and, state.
Because the home me reliant I
buy from stands back of * the
goods, thus always giving value
received.
Because the merchant I buy
from pays his share of the city
and state taxes. )
Because the merchant I buy
from helps support our poor and
neecUr, our schools, our churches,
our lodges and homes.
Because the dollar sent away
seldom returns, while the money
spent at home is apt to leave a
scraping at every door. . 1
Because, in buying at home 1
am huiidiityr the city for my own
future* wndfark in the city.
