The Anticeptic Baby.
A reader of one of the papers
asked for information about the
poem, “A Modern Baby”. Knowing
no sucli jingle the editor printed for
him, "The Anticeptic Baby”. If
"The Modern Baby ”is as good as
the Anticeptic one we would like to
become acquainted with the young
ster.
The anticeptic baby and the pro
phylactic pup
Were playing in the garden when thq
bunny gamboled up.
They looked upon the creature with
a loathing undiguised,
It wrtsh’t disinfected and it Wasn’t
sterilized.
They said it was a micyrobe and a
hot bed of disease,
They Steamed it in vapor of a hun
dred odd. degrees.
They froze it in a freezerl that was
cold as banished hope,
And washed it in permanganate
with carbolated soap.
In sulphurated hydrogen they steep
ed its wiggley ears.
They trimmed its frisky whiskers |
with a pair of hard-boiled shears.
They denned their rubber mittens,
and took it by the hand,
And ’lected it a member of the fum
igated band.
There’s not a micrococcus in tlie
gardin where they play,
They swim in pure iodoform a dozen
times a day;
each imbibes his rations from a
hygenic cup.
The bunny, and the baby, and the
prophylactic pup.

ris sent to the general assembly a

News was received in Windei Tues
day of the probable release of Bar

of the state and Federal Quarantine
laws, hitherto so strenously enforced.
This will mean much for Barrow and

capabilities. The work under the
skillful supervision of Mr. W. A.
McClain was begun in the county of
Barrow on May 15, 1916. Mr. Mc-
Clain says, positively that the rea

fiction of this work.

MR. R. N. PENTECOST
DIED SATURDAY MORNING.
Funerrl and Ircerment at Pentecost
Church —Large Crowd Assembles
To Pay Last Tribute.
Mr. R. N. Pentecost, prominent
planter of Chandler’s district, died
at his home early last Saturday
morning.
For more than a year Mr. Pente
cost bad been more or less a sick
man. Several times before the end
came, his relatives and friends were
alarmed over his condition. Some
| eight months ago he took to his bed
and for several weeks was under the
constant care of his physician, final
ly recovering to an extent that he
\was able to be up and about his
farm.
Some weeks ago, in an effort to
regain bis health, lie visited health
resorts in Virginia, but to no avail.
He returned to bis home and took to
his bed, and gradually grew weaker
until death relieved bis sufferings at
3 o'clock last Saturday morning.
Richard Nolan Pentecost was born
63 years ago in Chandler’s district,
in the community settled more than
u hundred ears ago b bis forefath
ers. He was a grandson of the grand
old man who located the church, that
bears his name, just after the Revo
lutionary war.
He was twice married, his first
wife being a Miss Kinney. To that
union one child was born, the late
Columbus Pentecost, wlio died in
tliis city. His second wife was Miss
Bowman. To this union ten children
were born, eight of whom are still
living, the oldest being Mr. Carlton
Pentecost, secretary and clerk to
the Ordinary of Barrow county.
Mr. Pentecost was widely known
and prominently connected in this
part of the state. He was a member
of the Masonic fraternity, loved his
order and until he grew too feeble
was always on hand at their meeting
He was big hearted, charitable and/
kind and true to his friends;. Eie
loved t’*e open country and the sing
ing of the birds, and when the snow
came and the earth was frozen, he
scattered grain and seeds from his
barn that they should not suffer.
Left alone some twelve years ago„
be has been both a father and moth
er to bis children, and no man ir,
his community was held in higher
esteem than was Bud Pentecost.
The funeral was preached in Pen
t* cost c’urch last Sunday afternoon
by Rev. John F. Yarbrough of Win
der. One of the largest gatherings of
people ever seen in a rural communi
ty assembled to pay respect to his
memory and condone with the* be
reaved at bis passing. ,
The burial services were poiuluct
ed by the Masons, Mr. W. T. Robin
son, acting as Master of Ceromo
nies.
The News offers condolence and
deepest sympathy to the children In.
the loss of their father..
First Cpen Cotton 8011.
Prospects for crops are getting
brighter, according to convincing ev
idence brought to The News office
the first of this w'eek. A full open,
healthy looking cotton 1 oil, the fir- t
of the set son sc far as is known,
was found on the farm of Mr. M. J.
Griffeth within the city limits of
Winder Monday morning and brought
to this office for inspection. This
goes to prove that one stalk of cot
ton, at least, was too sensible to ab
sorb all the water poured upon it
for the last two months.
