LAST LANDMARK OF OLD JUG TAVERN
RAZED FOR MODERN BRICK BUILDING
The brain House Has withstood
the #ires, Storms and Strain tor
Many Years.
. They are tearing away the old grain
gpuse, the last land mark of Jug Tav
to make room for a modern brick
structure. This building stood by the
roadsfde at the time when mints, 'pos
sums and polecats were the night muu
rauders hereabouts and the cat-squir
rels chased each other among the bran
ches of the stately oaks. To its ex
istence the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary. It. withstood the
storms of many years, floods and fires
have raged around anti around it, but
still the old grain house stood as a
mile-post along memory’s roadside,
pointing hack to the days of Wool
winder and Gray Belle and the round
ring, in which to settle personal dif
ferences without knife or pistol.
Were its history told it would fill
pages of comedy, tragedy and pathos,
interwoven with whole-hearted brother
iove, self-sacrificing charity and
gchivalrous loyalty. But progressive
"winder has said to the old grain house,
“You have served your day; you aye
obsolete; you must go.”
Mr. G. W- Smith will erect a two
story brick building upon the site, and
the building is being turn away to begin
executing fed a foundation. At the
same time dirt is being woved from the
adjoining lot to begin erection of Ma
sonic Temple. There is to be a party
wall between' the two buildings, and
when they are completed, there will
be a full chain of store-rooms from the
Garrison corner to the Woodruff corner
on Athens street. There is much build
ing going on in \V imler at this time

“MAGIC RING” COST $2,80C
Failed to Render Woman'lnvisible and
Seller is Jailed.
Mme. Durant of Parts, approaching
sixty, discovered furrows in her brow
about the time she made the acquaint
ance of one Cosina, who persuaded
her to let him try to make her
young again. His lotions and manip
ulations seemed really to have some
such effect, for the wrinkles vanished
and the lady’s complexion became
once more fair and rosy.
Looking young, she felt young, and
when she met a good-looking army
officer, who acted as if he admired her
but felt too timid to speak, she con
sulted Cosina and he had an Inspira
tion. He said he could make her in
visible by means of a magic ring and
she could thereby be In the company
of her soldier and learn his innermost
thoughts without his knowing she was
there.
She paid Cosina $2,800 for the ring.
The officer saw her Oust the same as
before she had it, but she found it had
made Cosina Invisible when she went
to inform him that the cbarm had
not worked. On her complaint to the
police Cosina was found. The court
fined him S4O and sent him to jail for
eight months.

TO THE VOTERS OF BARROW’
POINTY
I have been informed by scores of
friends of many strange things that 1
purpose to do if I am elected Super
intendent of the Harrow County
Schools. One of the most absurd is:
If I am elected, I would center all the
comity schools in the city of Winder.
This, of course, is very foolish, but
this is a sample of more than a dozen
of like character which are going the
rounds, all of which are false.
I have told nothing that my opponent
would or would not do— that would
be ids business, not mine.
If I. am elected, I shall do all for
the schools of the County the the law
will allow. No one can do more, and
no one should want to do less.
Yours truly,
JNO. 11. WOOD.
TWO ENTRIES QUIT
GEORGIA PRIMARY
With the elimination from the pres
idential primary in Georgia yesterday
of former Secretary of State Lansing
and Senator James A. Reed, it seems
evident that the contest was rapidly
narrowing down to a triangular affair
between Attorney General A. Mitchell
Palmer, Senator Hoke Smith and
Thomas E. Watson.
NOTICE.
This is to notice to the public that I
have withdrawn from the R. A. John
son Mattress Cos., of Winder, and am in
