OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY.
BARROW COUNTY FARMERS
COLLEGE CLUB ORGANIZED
G. W. Woodruff, Head of Woodruff
North Georgia Fair Dined Club
Before Departure for Athens
Wednesday, January 3rd, was open
day for the farmers short term
course at the State College of Agri
culture. Six bright young farmers of
Barrow county who were successful
in winning scholarships at the Wood
ruff North Georgia Fair were on
hand ready to go; Ernest Parker;
Albert Page, Offie Flanigan, Albert
Allen, Joe E. Pentecost and Albert
Parker. Each rvore a large blue rib
bon badge on which was nicely and
plainly printed the following: “The
Woodruff North Georgia Fair Places
Barrow County in the Lead With
Eighteen Scholarships—Six Men,
Six Boys, Six Girls, Beneficiaries.”
Before leaving they repaired to the
home of .Mr. G. W. Woodruff where
the party had dinner. Revs. John
H. Wood and J. H. Mashburn were
present. Rev. W. H. Faust was invit
ed but was out of town. After din-
ner was served, G. W. Woodruff]
stated that the object of the meeting
was to organize the Farmers College
Club. In as much as each year as
long as the North Georgia Fair was
able to) pay expenses it would be
t'heirt aim to offer scholarships to a
number of people of the county. That
this club of six farmers would be fol
lqwed this summer at the *'•*„ col
lege course for boys and girls, by
six boys and six girls, that they
should constitute the Junior Farmers
Clubs and that he wanted the organi
zation perpetuated, and in the course
of ten year’s time several hundreu
people of the county would have the
privilege of this limited agricultural
education, the number next year to
be increased to twenty-four instead
of eighteen.
Recently the officials of the state
college desired to have a special
course for ladies who desire to seek
domestic training, and the 1917 will
give scholarships to six men, six
women, six boys, and six girls. Mr.
Woodruff regreted that this had not
been arranged for so there could
have been six farmer’s wives present
on this occasion.
The organization was perfected by
the election of Offie P. Flanigan,
president; Albert Parker vice-Pres;
Joe E. Pentecost, Secretary.
Revs. J. H. Wood and J. H. Mash
burn made interesting talks.
The party then l>eft for Athens in
automobiles.
Next July six boys and six girl3
will be enrolled as the Junior Farm
ers dub, and this fall when the 1917
Fair is over twenty-fdur people will
be/ winners.
In addition to the twenty-foui
scholarships offered by the fair in"
1917, the work started last year by
Miss Pitman and finished up by Mrs.
Anna Belle Sheats will be continued
and enlarged upon. Mrs. Sheats ,is
j employed for eight month’s work;
the United States Government from
i the Smith-Lever Fund will pay one
jhalf of* the salary and the Fair will
pay the other. Mrs. Sheats will
spend the larger part of the winter
.months in Athens at the State Col
lege preparing herself for the work
in the county this year. Mrs. Sheats
is a thoroughly practical woman and
a natural leader and the girls under
[ her were highly pleased with her as
their teacher, and w-hen she has
spent the winter months at the State
College in special training the girls
may look for something new and
highly beneficial in the work this
year.
It will be remembered that the Car
ning Club Girls made a wonderfully
'good showing at the fair last fall,.
! perhaps the largest and best display
of any County Canning Club in the
£tate was here in Winder by Mrs.
Sheats and her Club.

MANY NEW RESIDENCES
AND BUSINESS BUILDINGS
To B Erected in .Vinder During the
Year Nineteen Hundred
and Seventeen.
Nineteen hundred and sixteen prov
ed a good year for Winder, but if
all reports we hear prove correct
Winder is going forward this year
in a manner never equaled before.
The twenty thousand dollar resi
dence of Mr. W. B. Mathews on Can
dler street is nearing completion,
and it is one of the prettiest rtsi
d nce-i in this section of the state.
The Potts Garage on Broad is com
pleted and the Winder Mobile Com
pany lijas moved in. This is one of
the best garages in Northeast Geor
gia and the Potts boys are among th
livest agents and best machinists in
the state. They handle the Buick in
terests here.
Among the new improvements fig
ured on this year include a modern
four story brick building at the eor
n r of Broad and Candler by Mr. H.
N. Rainey. It is to be fireproof. The
upper flpcrs will be used for offices
and the lower floors for store rooms.
Thb building is now occupied by the
Barrow County Drug Company and
the postoffice.
Tie local lodge of Knights of Py
thias are planning-to erect a build
ing on the handsome lot owned by
that order, located on lower Candler
street. If erected the lower floors
will he for business purposes and, the
upper floor for a permanent home
for the order.
In the early spring I>r. S. T. Ross
wi 1 erect a five thousand dollar res
idence on his Candler street lot.
J. T. Strange will erect a $7,100
home on his Broad street property.
M. J. Griffeth will spend about
$9,000 for a home his Candler
s'rett property.
J. W. Scgars will build several
fliv>e or six-room cottages for rent
ing purposes.
W. H. Toole will build a handsome
two-story brick residence on his
Candler street lot.
Dir. L. W. Hodges is planning to
build another story to his building
on Candler street occupied by the
S uthern Express Company and The
Winder News.
This sounds good and if the plans
are carried out it will mean a ban
ner year for Winder during the next
twelve months.
There is not a house in the city
for rent at this time, and we are
glad that Mr. Segars is going to
build some renting property.
