Long before there was a town or
city of Winder the Methodists had
a meeting h >use on the Kile now oc
cupied by the Cedar Creek Baptist
church.
Methodists in Winder began by a
union of that church with another
a few miles away. A brush arbor
was built near where the elegant new
school house is now being built.
A meeting was held, arid Concord
church was organized A frame build
ing was soon erected and for a num
ber of years following this was the
only church in Ur- town.
Many of the lending men and wom
en of the contiguous territory were
members here. Among these were
the families of Randolph Wills, Wat
kins, Harrison, Wilson Whitehead,
and' at a later day, Bird Betts and
Mrs. Bush and many others.
A splendid lot was secured for a
parsonage and through the liberality
of some yet living a nice house was
built upon it, and Jug Tavern be
came the head of a circuit.
MORE FOODSTUFFS FOR
LOVERS OF “GREENS.”
In case all other food crops fail
this fall, according to siecnftici ex
perts on things to oat, the farmer
need not despair while his weed crop
is good. In an article recently publish
ed in a scientific monthly, the vir
tues of purslane or ‘pusley’ as air
addition to a bit of salt meat art 1
given high praise, it being said to
be as good as nny kind of “greens.”
Sorrel weed ia also highly recom
mended for salads and "greens,” the
young .shoots of nettles are recoin
mended highly when properly prepar
ed. Numerous other weeds good
for food are mentioned, including
field cress, wild lettuce, wild onion,
wild carrot and wild horseradish.
It takes an optimist to get more
good out of a thing than there is
in it.

The Winder News, Thursday Afternoon, July 15, 1915.
With the coming of the railroads
came business prosperity. The church
grew apace with the business inter
ests and in a few years the church
here was made a station. At pres
ent the membership numbers about
500.
The Sunday school and Mission so
cieties are well organized and active.
Among the pastors who have serv
ed tiie church are l>r. Evans, AD i
ms G. Haygood, Albert Gray, H. .1.
Ellis, W. A. Dodge, Tom Edwards,
“Uncle” Johnnie Mashburn, T. J.
Owens, Dr. Holland, Bro. Reece, J.
I). Milton, N. E. Mcßrayer JoeQ uil
lian, A. W. Quillian, W. B. Dillard,
W. T. Hunnicutt and W. M. Dunbar.
The large brick building must soon
lie enlarged to meet the growing need
of the Sunday school.
And there is a strong probability
that Winder will become the head of
the Gainesville district with the dis
trict parsonage located here.
Rev. Jno. F. Yarbrough is the pres
ent pastor.
Some Old Can Gatherer.
The little town of Lawrenceville,
in Gwinnett county, resolved to clean
up, and it offered prizes to the boys
who would bring in the most old tin
cans collected from the streets. Louis
Hagood won first prize, with 3.N00
cans; Riiley Oakes brought in 3500
and a dozen or two others gathered
up from a thousand to a hundred
each and Lawrenceville looked a lot
better next day.
Louis is a nephew of Mr. B. A.
Julian of The News and is now his
guest. If Winder wants to clean up
we will wager Louis will get in the
money.
Looking for the Bad.
You can have twenty virtues and
nobody will pay any attention to
them. But if you have one vice you
will hear about it every five min
utes. —Cincinnati Enquirer.
Tell Her That You Love Her-
Our wife is out of the city and we
print the following poem—well, just
because:
“Just tell your wife you love her
As you did long years ago,
When in her youth and beauty,
With her eyes and cheeks aglow,
You vowed that naught could lessen,
That, naught but death could part.
Just tell her that you love her
And press her to your heart.
"Just take her in your arms again,
And kiss her faded cheek,
And talk of love and early days,
And see her old eyes speak,
Of joys that spring supernal,
When hearts are loyal still.
Just tell her that you love her
And that you always will.”
An Honest Man's Prayer.
Teach me that sixty minutes make
an hour, sixteen ounces one pound,
one hundred cents one dollar.
Help me to live so that I can lie
down at night with a clear consci
ence, without a gun under my pil
low, and unhaunted by the faces of
those to whom I have brought pain.
Grant, I beseech Thee, that I may
earn my meal ticket on the square,
and in doing thereof that I may not
stick the gaff where it does not be
long.
Deafen me to the jingle of tainted
money and the rustle of unholy
skirts.
Blind me to the faults of the other
fellow, but reveal to me my own.
Guide me so that each night when
I look across the dinner table at my
wife who has been a blessing to me,
I will have nothing to conceal.
Keep me young enough to laugh
with my children and to lose myself
in their play.
And then when comes the smell of
flowers, and the tread of soft steps,
and the crunching of the hearse’s
wheels in the gravel out in front of
my place, make the ceremony short
and the epitaph simple:
“Here Lies a Man.”
Tall Travel Talk.
Three men, a Frenchman, an Eng
lishman and an American, were once
praising their respective railroads —
for an Englishman will praise his
railroads abroad, though at home it’s
usually a different story.
The Englishman said:
“Our express trains go so fast that
the telegraph poles along the lines
look like a high board fence.”
"Our Rapides,” said the French
man, “go so fast that the stations
along the line seem continuous, like
a city street.”
The American puffed at his cigar
thoughtfully.
“Once on an American express,”
he said “1 passed a field of carrots,
a field of potatoes, a field of cab
bage and a cow, and the train, gents,
was going so fast —so darn fast—l
thought I saw an Irish stew\”E*x.

Traveling Man’s Experience.
“In the summer of 1888 I had a
very severe attack of cholera morbus.
Two physicians worked over rue from
4 to 6 p. m. without giving me
any relief and then told me they did
not expect me to live; that I had
best telegraph for my family. In
stead of doing so, I gave the hotel
porter fifty cents and told him to buy
me a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and
take no substitute. I took a double
dose according to the directions and
went to sleep after the second dose.
At five o’clock the next morning 1
was called by my order and took a
train for my next stopping point, a
well man but feeling rather shaky
from the severity of tile attack,”
writes H. W. Ireland, Louisville, Ky.
