Big Feature Play Booked.
The Unwritten Law, one of the
most modern and thoroughly develop
ed psychological melodramas of the
present day will be presented at The
Strand Theater by Manager Love on
Friday, the loth, at matinee and a
night performance.
There isn’t a dull moment in the
entire story. The action is swiftly
moving at all times and at the same
time the scenes follow each other in
natural sequence and coherent
smoothness.
, There is nothing palpable or obvi
ous in the filming of the story, and
the spectator will, of necessity, have
to see it all in order to tell how it
will end.
You cannot well afford to miss this
picture, fcr it is one of the biggest
features that has ever been booked
in Winder.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY.
Dorsey, Bell and Rainey win. This
sounds good to considerably more
than half the voters of Barrow coun
ty.
The congressional race excited the
most interest, owing to the efforts of
a few to dictate to the whole.
Dorsey had an easy walkover, re
ceiving more votes than all other
I candidates combined. Dobbs, Eakes :
| Keese, Davidson, Brown, Peeples,
Perry, Hutcheson, Stephens, George
and Gamble are the other winners
who had opposition, so far as Bar
row is concerned. The races for So
licitcr general and representative
proved to be the closest contests, the
majority in each case being less than
fifty votes.
Repoits indicate that Judge Rus
sell, who opposed Tlios. M. Bell for
Congress, has not carried a county in
the Ninth district, and but few mi
litia districts.
Dean has defeated Gamble for so
licitor general, Gamble carrying
three cut of the seven counties*—
Clarke, Oconee and Barrow.
Adams —Skinner.
Hast Saturday afternoon Miss An
nie Adams of Moultrie Ga. was giv
en in marriage to Mr. Ginn Skin
nre of Winder at the home of the
bride’s father in Moultrie. This splen
did young couple has hosts of friend
who wish them long life hnd happi
ness.
Let Mi’lsaps gin your cotton.
