I- * ■—:
/ V t MORE HISTORY.
Vinner, for the' past three years,
and been making'History of which
i are proud, save a few errors. For
a past few months there has been
| master stroke made by masterly
i'n, for the betterment of the peo
fe in and around Winder, in a mor
social, educational and spiritual
Jie. There are those here interest
e& sufficiently to have issued by our
weekly paper a religious paper, and
fothers who were interested to such
an extent to get out an education
al edition of the same paper. These
men are straining every effort pos
sible to get men and women to
thinking.
The Board of Education, with Prof.
Holsenbeck and Rev. W. H. Faust,
and the hearty co-operation of the
teachers of the county, gave to the
public an issue of The Winder News
that should be filed away frv fut
ure generations to relSu.
A Parent-Teacher association which
is bringing the teachers of the
<-ounty in closer touch with parent
and thereby enabled to do more
k feficient work.

Barrow county Ministe
rial Association, wnich brings the
preachers of all denominations into
a harmony working against a com
mon enemy.
The Rev. John F. Yarbrough has
held a series of meetings at the
Methodist church, and excellent mu
sic, followed by powerful sermons by
Rev. H. C. Emory, of Warrenton, Ga.
Then came Dr. S. R. Belk, Presiding
Elder of the Gainesville district, who
labored hard to get men and wom
en to turn from the errors of their
way. A masterly sermon on Sunday
night on the subject taken from
Proverbs 31:10, was inspiripg to
Christians and it seemed a sufficien
cy to men and women heavenward.
The Young Men’s Christian League
meets at the court house. It has had
fine encouragement by noted speak
ers who handled their subjects in
such a manner as to show tha they
knew of which they spoke: Rev. W.
H. Faust, Dr. H. L. Emory, of War
renton; Dr. W. L. Pickard, President
of Mercer University; Marshall A.
Hudson, President Baraca-Philathes
unions, who spoke at the Baptist
church; Miss Dowdell, who spoke at
the court house on Home Economics.
1 This is not all. Before this is in
print you wlil have heard David C.
Barrow, ChLncellor of the Universi
ty of Georg,.a, Athens, Ga., and the
man from thorn our county got its
name.
Then or April 7, you can hear
America's greatest orator, Mrs. Ma
ry Harris Armour, who will speak
on Temperance.
Then think of the local talent of
Winder syhich has labored so faith
fully to men become manly and
women io become womanly and
Christianlike. Yet some, we fear,
are in the w-ay that leads to ruin.
In our; mind we go back and think
how Jesus wept over Jerusalem and
said: “Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killeth <he prophets and
stoneth them; how oft would I bave
gathered thy children together even
as a hen gathereth her chickens un
der her wings, but ye would not.”
We remember again how Jesus
spake upbraiding cities wherein the
mighty works had been done and
said, “Woe unto thee Chorazin and
Bethsadia; for if the mighty works
\ which were done in you had been
idone in Tyro and Sidon they would
'have repented long ago in sackcloth
1 \ ashes.’'
1 Vsball be more tolerable for tht
of and Gomorrah in the
r \ Jof judgment than for that city.’’
g Winder people it seems to me have
* had an opportunity that never came
their way before. You have had learn
ed and true men to teach you. Have
you profited by it to the extent of
your ability. If not wherein lie the
fault.
I
Yoiir responsibility is great. Had
you not these opportunities in your
ignorance you might have escaped,
but where, oh w'here will be our
doom for failing to grasp the thing
made possible and worth while.
Will not some departed saint or
redeemed spirit look down on the
indifference of some folks in Win
-1 if it were possible in heaven

'J? Yhen I think of the efforts made
\ J
to save the lost in Winder, I *hsfk
myself thfe question: Had some rural
section received* the same music, ser
mons-and prayers that came to Win
der people that rural section would
have been reformed and made bett*
and scarcely a man left to advocate
the efforts that have been ifcade may
be as bread cast upon the waters to
be returned in a multiplied form and
that of phrifying and making better
every citizen of Winder.

But it takes Virginia
to give a cigarette “character”!
Character* * !-that *s what
every smoker wants in his
cigarette.
But it takes Virginia to give a
cigarette that life and zest
called “character”! That’s why
Virginia is called “the tobacco
man’s tobacco.’*
NOTE : Virginia tobacco pays for
no duty, no ocean freight, no losses
from wasteful handling. That is why
Piedmonts, for instance, made of
highest-grado Virginia, grown right
here in the U.S. A. can afford to give
you better quality than a cigarette of
foreign-grown tobacco which has to
carry all those wasteful expenses.
