History of the Knocker.
Fred A. Smith.
When God made all the good things
there was still some dirty work to do,
so He made the reptiles and poisonous
insects and when He had finished He
had some scraps that were too bad to
put into the rattlesnake, the hyena, the
scorpion and the skunks, so He put all
those together, covered it with suspi
cion, wrapped it with jealousy, marked
it with a yellow streak and called it
a KNOCKER. This was the product
so fearful to contemplate that He had
to make something to counteract it; so
He took sunbeam, and put it in the
heart of a child, the brain of a man,
and wrapped them in civic pride, cov
ered it with brotherly love, gave it a
mask of velvet and a grasp of steel,
and called it a BOOSTER: made him
a lover of the fields and flowers and
manly sports, a believer in equality and
justice. “And ever since, mortal man
has had the privilege of choosing his
associates.”

The Winder Dry Goods Store
The dollar sign is the ever-present, persistent
symbol of business. Money is the ultimate object
of all our labors. But business lias a broader,
deeper aspect that we are too often inclined to
ignore. Buying and selling involve spiritual ex
pression, as well as monetary desires. In busi
ness we find all of the emotions to which the
human mind is subject.
The keen desire for possession, the joyous
gratification of ownership, and the sincere friend
ship between the merchant and his customers are
the spiritual elements of business.
And in the swiftly revolving chain of commer
cialism from merchant to buyer, all the emotions
of lifeare felt —love, patience, toleration and
charity.
Though most all of us must strive honestly and
diligently for the elusive dollar with which to
provide the necessities and comforts of life, yet
we must not lose ourselves in this strenuous en
deavor; our fellowmen and their needs must be
considered.

CRABGRASS PLAINS
Editor Winder News:
As I have never seen anything from
this neighborhood, I thought I would
write you a few dots, and if this misses
your waste basket, I may come again.
We are all working hard as the dick
ens to keep body and soul together on
six pounds of flour a month, and we
ain’t caring much about what is going
on around us, and the only news of in
terest is what the plegged Germans are
doing. I tell you cornbread won’t hold
out as long these days as biscuit, and
we empty farmers are getting mighty
anxious that Uncle Sam hurry up and
end that row over yonder.
I’ve been reading your paper for five
years, and while I have not been a sub
scriber, I have a brother who is, and I
have missed it only a few times.
Sometimes I agree with you and
sometimes I don’t, but I like to see a
fellow take one side or the other and
say where he stands. I didn t like
them blame pictures you printed the
last time we had an election, and got
awful mad at some folks who thought
they were funny.
Pictures are printed in the big papers
and I did not blame you for holding up
for your side, but some folks out here
acted like they never saw a picture be
for and run the thing in the ground.
I agree with you about Bill Harris.
From the way folks are talking around
here I think he ought to hold ou to the
job he had, if it paid him what you say
(fi10,000.00). Some men don’t never
get enough, and can’t be suited. I
know people who are holding their cot
ton, nad they could have sold it for
35 cents. Now they have spiled their
candy.
I don’t want to make this too long
for you to print, and I hope you will
print it. What, I want to say is that
11 don’t know what to do about this sen-
I ator business. From what you say Tom
i Hardwick and Hoke Smith ain't done
what they ought to, and a lot of fellows
are running to beat Hardwick.
I ain’t no Tom Hardwick man. He's
a sassy little rascal and when they
tackle him they’ll hear some plain talk,
i He said he didn’t care if they quarter
ed Tom Watson and tried his quarters
in different states and I ain’t got no
use for him, but he’ll show them fel
lows up if they don’t mind. If they
have a joint debate I want you to have
one fixed for Winder, so I can hear it.
