Tlie pick-pockets ha* e been work

Moved erf their purses
Tim as are getting beuer. A Pulton
county Jury refused to grant a di
vorce. The couple had been married
thirty-eight years and have weren
children.
The resldenoe of Dr. and Mrs. Spui
Ceon Williams on Woodlawn Ave, has
veoently been remodeled and sev
eral rooms added which makes it
one of the most commodious and prel
tiest In the city.
The bandit Villa is again active in
Mexico. Villa is only a name to ap
ply to the Mexican outlaws. Were he
killed tomorrow the* Vflliastas would
immediately select another chief to
take Ills place. It Is a condition and
not a personage that confronts the
U. S. troops on the Texas border.
To read of the many permanent in
juries being received by t'he members
of the Teck and Georgia football elev
run, it appears that footballl is a dan
gerous game, hut maybe they are on
iy laying up excuses for future de
feat. Surely no sensible young man
will take the chance of being maimed
for life in a pleasant,, friendly,
“feetball” game.
Elimination of the word “obey” in
the promise of women in marriage cei

If we only had someone to feed
the folder we would give a year’s
•übscription to see. the Grand Circuit
harness races in Atlanta. We never
•**ll forgi4 how' w r 6 backed Miss Mc-
Caul.y at Athens years ago, and
■toed on tip-toes as the little black
mar spread herself low to the
ground coming into the home-stretch
with her legs working like the piston
Tods to an engine. Winder believes
in fairs, and we are a full-blooded
Winderlte. The Woodruff North Geoi
gia Fair has become a penman or, t '
•titution to the great benefit of< this
city and county in several ways. And
the Atlanta fair is being liberally pa
troniezd by the people of this terri
tory. We want to go—and we may.
Tlie numerous accounts of deaths
*iid injuries by automobile wrecks in
the State of Georgia recently is ap
railing. One needs only to glance at
the pages of any daily paper to real
ize that the reckless speed fiend is
still in the land and growing more nu
nierous daily. The state mobile law
i practically a dead statute, as its
provisions are openly and flagrantly
violated in the presence of sheriffs
and sworn grand jurors. Occasional
ly the mayor and council of a town
attempt to suppress the evil by im
pcsiiag small fines on speeders with
in the city limits, which are paid with
a sarcastic smile from the wealthy
owners, and the headlong rush for
everywhere, and nowhere In particu
■tor. continues to endanger not only
the lives of the speeders themselves
but also the Uvea of more sane and
sensible men, women and children.
The automobile properly used is a
great blessing and convneience to
mankind, but in the hands of a smart
Aleck bent on spluging with the moil
y that someone else lias probably
worked hard to accumulate, it is an
engine of death.
‘•ME AND MY WfFE"
The other fellow gets very little
consideration in this world.
For instance, about six months ago
J. L. Saul went to considerable ex
pense to build a first-class moving
picture theater in the City of Winder
Since the building was completed Mr
L. Love and his estimable wife have
been giving the Winder public the
benefit of the best film service known
to the movies.
They have received a very liberal
patronage, and we do not suppose they
expect a monopoly of amusements in
Winder, but they are a permanent
institution. They pay the high rate
of state and county taxes for carring
on such business. They pay to the
city specific taxes and water and
light bills. They have invested their
money here with the laudable pur
pose of becoming permanent resi
dents of the town and are good citi
zens. On several occasions they have
donated the receipts at The Strand
to the good ladies and others for charii
able purposes, and yet hardly a week
lias passed since The Strand was
opened that it has not been running
in ccmpetion with some concern op
erating free olf taxation in the name
of cl arity or some ether supposedly
worthy cause.
Our observation has been that cliai
ity generally comes out at the little
end of the horn in such enterprises,
and it seems nervy to us that they
should he placed practically in the
hack yard cf the Strand with speil
trs at its very doors.
So far as we know Mr. and Mrs.
Love have not spoken to a living
stall concerning the matter. This ar
tide is the fruits of purely unsolicit
ed and unsuggested observation.
But such is life in a world where
every fellow is looking out for “Me
and my wife, my son John and his
wife; w'e four and no more.”
Winder has more merchants and
therefore more goods and a better
display than ever before. Read the
advertising colums of this issue anc
select ycur wants.
The world do move, likewise life
is short and strange things come to
blot out the commonplace. Editgi
Bob Ross has endorsed Mr. Willis
Perry for re-election as mayor of
Winder. Congratulations fellows. You
both are two finer boys to be at outs
—Walton Tribune.
As Bro. Post would say, “There’s
a reason.”
It is the labor agitator wiio causes
the most trouble between capital and
labor, it is usually some fellow wiio
is making a living without working
for iti. The “strike-breaker” is a geJi
tleman compared to him.—
Herald Journal .
True, there are \oo many stall-fel
drones in the ranks of organized la
bor and they too often wreck or rule
the union, but the professional
•strike-breaker” is a Judas fighting
against the cause he formerly espous
ed for the high pay there is in it at
the time being, and lie does not de
serve the term “gentleman.”
Atlanta wanted the Fifth regiment
her own, to stop and show off for a
wiiile in the Gate City on the way
to the border, but Gen. Harris inform
ed Mayor Woodward that the regi
ment would move in sections, and lie
had no authority to change the
schedule. Generally speaking Atlan
ta’s own doesn’t deserve and doesn’t
get any more consideration at the
hands of government officials than
the other brave boys of Georgia who
have enlisted in the service, and ov
er whose enlistment there has not
beta so much splutter and blarney
smear* and by Atlanta papers. Later
Gen. Harris infomed the mayor that
the Fifth would stop in Atlanta one
hour Monday.
