Rpst Fair Ever Pulled Off
promises Best r-i . .
He r e or Elsewhere.— Spirit of
‘ Liberality Will be Shown
to Exhibitors.
To the People of Winder, Barrow
County, and all North Georgia:
We are at last in position to an
nounce the North Georgia Fair for
Winder, October sth to 9th, inclusive.
At ter four weeks* delay we have
from the City Council that our
application is granted as requested.
We accept their verdict as to 1915
Fair.
\\e are also unofficially informed
that some document was filed by
gI outside party, who had been de
feated in liis move to secure the
Fair, saying in substance that
h, and bis associates would with
draw their petition with the undei
st an ding that they have the Fair for
jiqg we here make the point that
,;.e Council of 1915 can in no way
bind the Council of 1916, and as
we were not consulted by anyone as
to any condition, we feel in no way
obligated or bound by outside par
ties, and we leave the matter of a
Fair for 1916 to stand on its own
merits, and in no way to be influenc
,.;i by the action of this Council.
Now as to the Fair for 1915, we
will get busy and will lend every ef
fort possible to make the 1915 North
Georgia Fair the best of any previous
Fair held here or anywhere else in
this section of Georgia. We will
conduct it just as if it was a stock
company Fair. If any difference, we
will be more liberal to the public
than any stock company fair could
possibly be, and do now and hereby
invite and urge every firm or busi
iifss enterprise of Winder to make
an exhibit on the fair grounds, and
the space will be FREIE to exhibitors
and urge you to come in and make
the industrial exhibits better than
ever before, Use the grounds as if
they were yours for exhibits, and it
is yours, for we give it to you for
that purpose. Most stock compa
nies charge business firms for exhibil
space, but with us it is free, just
as it has been before.
We will publish the premium list
in a few' weeks, and will make a few
changes, but in the main it will be
the same.
One thing we would like to have
i- c an organized Girls’ Canning Club
for Barrow County, and we will give
a short term course at the State
College of Agriculture for the girls
that make the best display of canned
goods, and we hope that Mrs. Hol
senbeck will take up the work and
organize the girls of Barrow coun
ty.
Also, we will give a scholarship
to the boy of Barrow r county corn
f lub who grows the most corn per
a(, re, and we hope that Prof. Holsen
beck, Barrow County School Super
h tendent, will take up the work of
organizing the Roys Corn Club.
\\ e regret that this notice could
'■°t go to the public four weeks ago,
! ”>t we assure you that it was no
f: ! >h of the manager of the fair, and
■' one regrets more than we do the
"ig delay by the City Council, but
r has been said that “A. bad begin
: n ? makes a good ending," so now
r ° L - ther with a long, strong pull
' 1 make the 1915 Fair of Winder the
over. We invite you to come
'* m with your suggestions and help
it a success.
"'ill continue our liberal poli
free attractions, such as fire
' at night and aviation flights in

he Stinson Sisters of Chicago,
and to engage them to make

dies in America who enjoy the ti

FAIRS POPULAR IN WINDER.
The following self-explanitory let
ters are handed to us for publication
at our regular advertising rates. They
go to show that at least two individ
uals believe that there is something
“fticky” left when a Booster Fair is
pulled off in this live little capital of
Barrow. Read:
"Winder, Ga., April 28. 1915.’’
“Mr. P. A. Flanigan & A #^>ciates:
"Winder, Ga.
“Gentlemen: I am officially ad
vised that the City Council grants
our permit for Pair for 1915. 1 am
a;so informed that a communication
was addressed to the Mayor and
Council, signed by you for yourself
and associates, undertaking to with
draw your petition for fair for 1915.
and to ask for it in 1916. The offi
cial communication to me has no
reference to that whatever, and
I here and now put you on notice
that the present Council cannot bind
the Council of 1916, and the prop
osition for a Fair in 1916 must stand
on its merits, uninfluenced by any
action of the present Council. This
proposition was made by you with
out my knowledge or consent, and I
am perfectly justifiable in ignoring
it However, I prefer to take the oper
course and give notice now as stat
ed above. Yours very truly,
CWW—P “G. W. Woodruff.”
“Winder, Ga., 4—28—15.’’
“Air. G. W. Woodruff, Winder, Ga.”
“Dear Sir:—This is to acknowledge
receipt of your communication of
even date, which is the first indica
tion J have had that Winder had
within her borders a CZAR with whon
ail propositions should be taken up
before being presented to the Hon
orable Mayor and Council of our
City.
“I regret very much that you were
not liberal and patriotic enough to
come into a Stock Company, repre
senting a large portion of the busi
ness men of Winder, for the purpose
ot having the greatest Fair ever held
in North Georgia. Realizing that you
were extremely ambitious along the
line of holding another “Woodruff
Fair,” and for the sake of harmony
and good will, we withdrew our pe
tition for the Fair privileges with the
understanding that the -Mayor and
Council endorse the same privileges
heretofore accorded you, to a Stock
Company for 1916. This they did anc
the Stock Company will be organiz
ed and you, the same as all others,
will be asked to take some stock in
this proposition. I cannot understand
why I should havp taken up this mal
ter-with you instead of the Alayor
and Council, and you will be hereby
advised that you are not possessed
with any Divine or ‘Czarical’ privi
leges' such as all matters of this
nature should be brought to your at
tention, and 1 do not apologize for
presenting to the Council, my peti
tion without your ‘knowledge or
consent,’ as they are well capacitat
ed to act on any question without ad
vice or dictation from you. However
I will come to you with one propo
sition and that is: If you will get
out of the way, we will give the
Tax Payers of the city of Winder,
Five Hundred dollars for the privi-
lege of holding a Fair here next
Fall, such as they are granting you
for nothing.
“I beg to commend you for your
wonderful and superior business abil-j
itv as is shown by your great suc
cess, and I am fully convinced that
you have learned the lesson as taught
in the Bible: ‘ASK AND TH!OU
SHALT RFC FI VF:,’ as' is evidenced
b} the fact that yon are asking for
a gift from the Tax Payers of the
city of Winder for which they might
have received Five Hundred dollars.
"A’ours very truly,
”P. A. Flanigan.”

Field Marshal Announces That the
the Anglo-French Troops Have
Stopped German Attack.
Loudon, Aprril 28. —"Our opera
tions in conjunction with the FYench
have definitely stopped the German
attack."
Field Marshall Sir John French,
commander in chief of the British
forces on the continent, thus an
nounces the conclusion of another
German attempt to break through the
allied lines around Ypres and along
the Yser canal, which brought about
one of the most sanguinary battles
o” the war.
This, however, only brings to an
end the first phase of the battle, for
the allies have yet to win back the
ground lost in the great German
sweep. For this purpose they are
now delivering counter attacks
against the German lines. Only at
one place—Streenstraate—have the
Germans kept their footing on the
western bank of the canal, while
to the north of Ypres the positions
remain much as they were, the al
lies making no claims to an advance
there, and the Germans reporting
that all the British attacks have
been repulsed.
