WINDER OBSERVES MEMORIAL DAY.
JUDGE R. B. RUSSELL SPEAKER OF DAY
He Drew With Graphic Skill a Word
Picture of the Causes Leading l?p
to the War That Brought Free
dom to America.
Monday was an epochal day in the
*ife of Winder.
t For the first time since the creation
of the new county Memorial Day was
observed with appropriate exercises.
Not because our people are not patriot
ic and loyal, but costom had carried
them"to other places heretofore.
Under the auspices of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy, the
Daughters of the American Revolution
and the John Rich Pentecost Post of
the American Legion, a large congre
gation assembled in the school auditor
ium and a splendid program was car
ried out in memory of our Southland s
beloved dead.
“America” was sung heartily and en
thusiastically by the vast audience of
citizens and §chool children followed by
the invocation by Rev. R. E. Moss.
Rev. John H. Mashburn introduced
the speaker of the day, Judge Richard
B. Russell, who was at his best on this
memorable occasion.
The speaker paid glowing tribute to
the sainted dead who fought in the
Revolutionary war, to our gallant and
much loved Southrons who fought un
der the Stars and Bars, and to our own
lads who enlisted in the recent world
war.
Judge Russell is a clear thinker and
a beautiful word painter, as well as
an orator of state-wide reputation. lie
drew with graphic skill a word picture
of the causes leading up to the war
that brought, freedom to America,
touched with beautiful pathos the
splendid sacrifices and superb courage
of the men who wore the grey and
fought for families, firesides and state’s
rights as well as individual freedom;
and then outlined the magnificent type
of heroism manifested by the loyal
American soldiers who as a matter
of duty entered the world holocaust
and won freedom for the world.
Dramatically he declared that the
worthy sons of these heroic sires would
never be led to hazard their blood
bought liberties by entering into en
tangling alliances with European pow
ers, and further emphasized that we
would not sign away our rights by
entering into any league or covenant
contrary to the democratic principles
of Washington, Jefferson and Madison,
whose fertile brains drew our own
great Constitution, defended it by their
own brawn, blood and brain, and hand
ed it down to us a sacred inheritance
to cherish, propagate and defend for
ever. He urged upon the young peo
ple to cherish America’s ideals and to
stand ever loyally for America for
Americans.
The speaker paid a beautiful trib
ute to our Southern Womanhood and
spoke in glowing terms of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution and
the United Daughters of the Confed
eracy and their laudable efforts to per
petuate the memories of the greatest,
soldiers who ever crusaded in free
dom's holy cause. The eloquent appeals
and perorations of Judge Russell were
cheered to the echo by the great au
dience.
Mrs. J. P. Williams gave two appro
priate and timely readings, and a solo
by/Miss Ora Lee Camp was enjoyed
greatly by the hearers. A double quar
, tdj and a chorus of eighteen girls ren
dered two fine selections that were
soul-stirring.
Only a few of the veterans who fol
lowed Lee were present and the au-'
dience cheered them as they stood.
The benediction was pronounced by
Rev. W. H. Faust, and a special eom
n/itfee of school children went, to the
cemetery in company with the soldiers
and members of the Post and decor
ated the graves of the soldiers.
The occasion marked an epoch in
the patriotic history of our city and
county, and will be long remembered.

make hotel reservations and secure
railroad tickets.
Dr. S. R. Bailey, 600 Flatiron build

any way possible.

OUT OF THE HOSPITAL
Mr. H. X. Rainey, who for the past
two or three weeks, had been confined
to an Atlanta hospital ns the result
of an operation for ear trouble, was in
Winder lust week. Mr. Rainey had
been a great sufferer for the pnst three
months, and his hosts of friends in
Winder and Barrow county will be
glad to learn that as a result of the
operation his suffering has been re
lieved and that, he is rapidly regaining
in health and strength.
Nick Rainey, before moving to At
lanta, was one of our progressive cit
izens, as well as most wealthy. He
holds vast interests in Winder and Bar
row county now, and we are always
glad to shake his friendly hand.
j THE FLYING MACHINE
DFriday, Saturday and Sunday a fly
ilg machine made many trips over the
.city carrying Winder and Barrow coun
ty passengers. The aviation field was
established in I'ink Williams fleh),
about a mile from the center of the
city, and Sunday the roadway and hills
about the field were lined with Barrow
folks who seemed to enjoy the ease
with which the aviator rose and sailed
away toward the clouds with home
folks as passengers. Many ten dollar
bills changed hands for the privilege
of a glide through the air.

RED CROSS NURSE
FOR BARROW
At a meeting some time ago of the
executive committee of the Barrow
County Red Cross Chapter it was de
cided to put on a Red Cross Nurse for
the county.
Mrs. John W. Carrington, Jr., kind
ly consented to serve for a while uu
til the work had become organized and
a nurse could be furnished by the Red
Cross Nursing Service. She has be
gun the work and soon will have her
plans definitely outlined so that the
public may be in line to assist as far
as possible. In the near future these
plans will be published for the infor
mation of all interested.
This is an all important work and
coming into our own community all
of us are peculiarly interested in its
success. Much suffering can be reliev
ed and better sanitary conditions re
sult from the work of a Red Cross
Nurse, if her efforts are backed up
and supported by the citizens of Bar

our community every citizen is called
upon and urged to use his best, efforts
that this work may be a success.

A. H. SPENCE’S EGG
The queen of the bam yard has done
many queer tilings since the world war
broke out. She turned prophet and the
spirits have written messages on her
egg shells. She has frightened the su
perstitious, disturbed the ignorant and
furnished gossip rfor thousands of her
friends. We have seen many kinds of
freak eggs, but just, why A. H. Spence's
ordinary barn-yard fowl should go
to so much trouble in the production
of an egg, we can't understand. The
substance was encased on the inside
of two perfectly hard shells.
To be able to do this, it was necessa
ry for Miss Hen to enlarge her out
put. So she brought, forth an egg about
the size of a turkey egg. Then a few
hep laps under this shell was a per
fectly formed, ordinary sized hen egg.
Mr. Spence says he doesn’t get the
idea, but if she continues along this
line be will set the eggs and see wheth
er they hatch turkeys or rattlesnakes.
WE DON’T LIKE DEAD HOGS
Parties who have been depositing
their deceased dead hogs on Pea Hill
will please not do so any more. We
are sure this Is un act of thoughtless
ness. We want to protect our own
swine as well as escape the offensive
odor. These dead animals should be
burled. Respectfully,
J. W. Kesler.
FOR SALE —Good 1018 Model Ford

Sin Is Called Sin and Christ Is Al
ways Held I,'p As Only Means of
Salvation by I)r. Ham.
Thu series of meetings now in prog
ress at the First Baptist church are
gripping the entire town.
Our people knew what to expect in
the way of preaching. Dr. Ham had
been here before and won the hearts
of his hearers.
With his bibieal, fearless presenta
tion of the whole counsel of God., he
never minces matters. Sin is called
sin and Christ is always held up as
the only means of salvation.
Capt. I>. L. Spooner won the folks
tin* first, night of the service, and has
now thoroughly organized one of the
largest choirs ever operating in this
town. This choir is composed of boys
and girls of Methodists, Baptists, Dis
ciples, Presbyterians and others who
lore the Lord, and how the singers do
ring out the old gospel songs. Mem
ories of other glorious revival days are
brought forth as “I'm Bound for the
Promised Land.” “Holy Manna" and
“Jesus Lover of My Soul” to the old
tune, “Silver Threads Among the Gold”
and a lot of both old and new songs
and choruses that even the school chil
dren singing out.
Mr. Spooner is a chorus leader of
national reputation and knows not only
music hut folks. He can draw music
out of a congregation like July sun
shine draw turpentine out, of South
Georgia lumber. v
Wednesday night, Dr. Ham read the
story of Lot’s wife and drew therefrom
some very forceful and appropriate as
[ well as timely and applicable lessons
for Winderites. He led up to the sub
i jeet with homiletioal skill and then
[ fearlessly showed from Lot's political,
! social and financial entanglements how
he lost his influence over his friends,
his family and eventually lost faith
in God, until stripped even of his wife’s
presence and liis entire family save
his younger daughters, went away brok
en in mind, body and spirit. With keen
incision, with words tinged with love
and seasoned with compassion, he
showed how entangling alliances were
keeping down spirituality in the church
of our section. Families divided ec
clesiastically, Christians married and
yoked up Unevenly with unbelievers,:
women immersed in society and social
functions, men lined up politically and
financially with the Goddess, with pow
er and Influence waning daily. Dra
matically the preacher said.
“You can go on with vast power
politically, a great vote controller, with
marvelous and enviable reputation so
cially, leaders among the you can
build factories and splendid manufac
turing enterprises, and may go organ
ize and control numbers of men, but
the acid test is can you still by the
help of Almighty God lead one of your
friends to Jesus.”
At the close of this timely and heart
searching lie said there were two rea
sons why church members left their
membership elsewhere. One was the
cemetery, the other selfishness and
that hiding lights under bushels that
were meant, to shine in candlesticks
was the cause of indifference and the
lack of power on the part of numbers
of Individual Christians.
While in the city they are the guests
of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Holsenbeek, in
their hospitable home on Broad street.
