WOODRUFFS IN CHARGE
Winder Citizens Petition Wood
ruff Bros, tc Head Another
Fair for This City.
•
A petition signed by practical
ly all tin* business and profes
sional men of this city has been
presented to -Ur. G. W. Woodruff
president of tin* Woodruff Ma
chinery .Manufacturing Company,
asking that firm to take charge
of a project to pull off a fair in
this city this fail similar to the
one held here in 1912.
In an open letter to the Edi
tor of the News the ‘Woodruff
boys look with favor upon the
proposition.
it is said the fair will be con
ducted along broader lines than
before.
'While tin* fair in 1912 was a
credit to the promoters and ben
eficial to this section, conditions
operat'd against it. Crops in this
section were the poorest in years
that fall, still the agricultural
displays rounded up by the
Woodruffs cl id credit to the sec
tion.
The petition, signed with such
unanimity, shows that everybody
is-behind tin* Woodruffs. Think
about it, talk about it —get it
right.
“A bigger fair for 'Winder in
1914.”
Here is what the Woodruffs
4 have to say concerning the prop
osition:
Mr. Editor: —-
Please allow us space to ac
knowledge the strong petition of
our fellow-business men and cit
izens of ‘Winder, urging us to
promote and conduct a fair this
fall, similar to the one we had
here in tin* fall of 1912. and to
express our appreciation for tin*
confidence placed in us, and to
say that we believe now, as here
tofore, that a good agricultural,
• industrial and educational fair
is a benevolent institution and is
\>ery 'helpful to the farmers and
to the country at large, and that
it advertises a town as no Other
movement could do.
The organization of the Boys
Corn (’lub and the Girls Indus
trial Clubs, as well as other
movements along the line of sci
entific farming, demands a Fair
as a place to demonstrate the
good work that is being done on
the farm. Every business man
will agree that to finance a fair
is a hazardous undertaking, but
as before, we have an ambition
to help every farmer boy and ev
ery girl, as well as every man
who is endeavoring “to make
► two blades of grass grow where
one used to grow,” and also to
help Winder grow as a progres
sive city where real live people
live and keep pace with the
times, and since our fellow citi
zens of Winder are so very
unanimous in petitioning us to
n conduct a fair at Winder.
; Will undertake to do so, hut
| * yreeing to do this, we want
k tin* cooperation of every
Pk -;ss man in ♦Winder, and we
lr pledge to you that every bus-
*ss firm shall hare an equal
chan p to participate in the fair,

MAYOR FERGUSON S
POLICE MAT NEE.
Mixed Bill of Fights and Frolic,
Domestic, Troubles and
Street Scraps.
The gate receipts of Monday
night's mayor's court, that . is,
what it cost a hunch of trans
gressors of the city law to got
out, and not to g<;t in, would
make the heart of a musical com
edy manager or a grand opera
promote r glad, indeed.
When the mayor rapped for or
der the curtain went up on a bill
that was destined to prove as fa
tal to the caste of characters is
their cases were interesting t>
tin* spectators. But it was soon
made evident, that His Honor
meant to dispatch the business at
band in a way that would take
all tin* joy out of the perform
ance so far as the Star Actors
wore coneernd.
The first number on the bill was
n ease of plain drunk. If was a
good jag, but it cost the nomol
ogist $5.75.
This was followed by a quar
tette who staged a free for all,
catch as catch can fight in rear of
a corner store In 1 his
case the Mayor acted as referee
when it was put on in his court
and counted out $5.75 in two eas
es. Two of the eases were dis
missed.
Then a belle from Darktown,
who seethed to be as familiar
with cullud gen'men and eapabefs
as she was with decent language,
cussed out $15,75 quite quickly.
Next a good quality of moth
er-love was laid hare before the
court and crowd when a negro
, woman had “all the hoy she's
got” brought before the bar for
drawing a chair on her and ret'us
ing to take her motherly advice.
She told the mayor that, he sassed
(*d her, drew a chair on her, and
then broke down and cried, say
ing that she didn’t know what
she wanted dent* with him. She
finally told the mayor that she
wanted him to work for tin* city
awhile, and he got L days on the
streets.
Major Stroud, and six others

On the railroad for a living, and
from the evidence produced in
court, s'*oot dice for past-time,
were drawn up and reviewed by
tin* Mayor. The hunch was caught
in a ear gambling by the police
and rounded into quarters Satur
day night. The inspecting officer
gave each of the “troopers” $lO.-
7b or a chance to do some good
work beautifying Winder streets.
There were several eases con
tinued on account of sickness of
parties, and the Mayor announc
ed that the curtain would rise on
the next performance Monday
night, March lb, promptly at H
o ’dock.
Tlu* total receipts from fines
amounted to something like 4M22.

Wednesday afternoon, on tile
streets of this city, Mrs. Henry

It seems that Mrs. Lyle came

standing in the street, and as sin*
stepped around the head of flic*
mule, she was run down by the
machine.
'Pile car was being driven by
Mr. G. B. Mathews and was go

obstructed Mr. Mathew's view
and when In- noticed Mrs. Lyle
he was upon her. By quick ac

passing over her. She was plac

office of Dr. ('. B. Almond where
her injuries were found not to
be serious. , t
