A RECENT DISCOVERY.
It has Imtij demonstrated us a
scientific fact that an overdone of
crow, followed by a dessert of sour
{'rapes will transform swell-headed
blow-hards into little, contemptible
snivclings which continually emit
idiotic sputtcrings of the imagina
tion-
Every man woman and child in
(Georgia is aware of the fact that
Joe Brown never made a speech in
his life, but the Atlanta Journal
is still sick, very sick, and under
the spell of a recent brain storm
dished out the following self-man
ufactured and made-to-order rumor ;
tis a matter of news to its'readers: i
It was rumored in Atlanta Mon
day, on what should I>* considered
.excellent authority, that Joseph M.
Brown, Democratic nominee for
governor, will stump the state in
the interest of the party in both
.state and national campaigns.
.‘ Thursday or Friday, the rumor '
said, Mf. B v >wu will start on a
tour of (ieorgia,.speaking intermit
tently at places which could not be i
definitely forecasted.
“It was stak'd in connection with
the rumor that this is due in con-1
•aideruble measure to some com
plaint that has been expressed in
various quarters that Mr. Brown is 1
not taking a sulliciently prominent |
place in the party’s tight.
“An attempt to confirm tin* vu- 1
mor developed nothing among Mr.
Brown’s friends except surprise
and the conjecture that there was
no foundation to it. Those who
would lie able to speak definitely
in the matter could not be reach
ed.”
Then in a displayed editorial The
Journal proceeds to give a hatch of
letters from a few sore-heads, pos
sibly written for no other purpose
tlmn to give that paper an oppor
tunity to continue its disgusting
tight on Joe Brown while profess
ing to be loyal to party policy.
After violating the statement on
two counts in the same editorial
from which it is clipped, the editor
concludes:
“ vVe entered the primary iu

good faith. We intend to abide by
| the result in letter and in spirit,
and so far as we can influence oth
-1 its, will seek to persuade them to
do likewise.”
If The Journal will violate the
! “spirit of the result” and “lend its
influence” to bolters at the same
time it asserts loyalty, should we
l>e surprised if it forgets the “letter”
in October?
Wc feel confident that the above
i sentence would never have been
written were the sore-heads and
bolters numerous enough to stand
a shadow of a chance to defeat the
nominee of the primary. Such not
being the ease, however, The Jour
nal is on the hand wagon having
silly bnun storms.
CHASING THE RAINBOW.
The daughter of Senator Elkins,
of West Virginia, is to marry soon
a Dago by the name of Abruzzi.
The antics of the sons and daugh
ters of wealthy Americans in their
| search for happiness is pitiful to
: behold. Surrounded by every com
fort that this life affords, the Amer
ican heiress endeavors to appease
the mate longing of the soul for
happiness and contentment bv
searching among the empty titles
of foreign lands for a husband, there
t<> eke out a miserable existence
j unequally yoked to a jabbering,
| jesticulating royal spendthrift, de
void of character and training as
measured by American standards.
And the boys. How many mil
! lionaire sons have wrecked their
young lives by sailing around the
bright lights of debauchery only to
land in the seething cesspool of
scandal? Verily their search for
satisfied existence on this earth is
pitiful as well as fruitless.
The happiest mortal we ever
knew was a sainted uncle who loved
his home and native land above all ,
else earthly, and with an abiding
faith in his Redeemer and a sancti- 1
tied smile would slap his hands!
with j>\v as he gave praises to his:
Father in “glory land.” 4
Wealth and titles may lx* the
greatest worldly joys, but for hap- j
peness and contentment seek salva-:
tion.
An exchange intimates that the
small vote garnered by Yancey is
likely to spoil old m.jn Darter s oat
record.
I The Gainesville Herald published
a paragraph this week which was
not a boost for the town nor a josh at
i Editor Bacon, of the Madisonian.
Fillers will creep in on the editorial
1 page some times.
The $2,000 per day expense to
the state is still in session. The
house and senate have had four
t “dog-falls,” and are no nearer a
solution of the convict question
than when the extra session was
called.
NO SIGH CONDITION HERE.
The Advertiser lias received sev
eral letters lately from parties from
a distance wanting to get sample
copies of the paper “to see what
business there is.” - They won’t see
much. Our merchants and most
of our other business men have not
waked up to newspaper advertising.
Om gentleman wrote: “From lack
of advertising in the paper there is
not the business in your town I
thought, so 1 will not investigate
in that section further.” —Clarks-
ville Advertiser.
The same tiling could lie said
about our town, for you could never
tell how many stores we have here
by looking at our paper. We try
hard to give the patrons of our
paper all the news of the town and
county, and would appreciate a
little advertising from our home
merchants. It would certainly help
them and the town, too, in many
ways. —( herokee Advance.
The advertising columns of the
local paper is the barometer of a
town’s Easiness enterprise. Take a
| look at any issue of The Winder
News and it will be observed that
the columns are liberally, used by
our local merchants. Through their
untiring efforts the merchants have
brought the citizens of this com
munity to realize that it is to the
interest of all to trade at home,
and this policy has resulted in the
establishment of up-to-date firms
which send their representatives di
rect to the eastern markets to buy
goods at a cost which enables them
:to compete with any prices quoted
in Georgia, and land in the liegh
borhood which could have been
i purchased a few years ago for ten
| and twelve dollars per acre with no
takers is now quoted at S4O and
' SSO per aere.
Therefore it is not necessary for
The Winder News to accept con
tracts with cheap patent medicine
fakirs nor use the names of foreign
firms in an attempt to send our
subscribers abroad to trade, but
each issue is calling them this way,
where they can purchase anything
from a paper of pins to an automo
bile at reasonable prices.
True, we have had some mer
chants who failed to advertise, but
by strict observation they have Iveu
convinced that it pays.
The newspaper located in a com
munity where none of the mer
cliants advertise u unfortunate in
deed.

Two Car Loads of
Studebaker Wagons
We do not have to tell you that the Studebaker
Wagon is the best on the market. Won have
seen them and you know fur yourself that it is
The Best Wagon Made.
Every man who buys a Studebaker Wagon is
pleased with it. It runs light and is made of
dry timber, and many of them run twelve years
without a loose tire.

Constitution.
We gather from the above that
the family of Mr. and Mrs. George
Aly is composed of three daughters
and two sons, Ora Aly being the
(laughter of the oldest son, two of
j the girls having also married, one
to Alfred Johnson and another to
Jeff Wood. Ben and Lizzie are still
■ single and the old grandmother
makes her home with the family.
We are of the opinion that Lizzie
' Aly wrote the items, and were we
editor of The Murray News we
would discontinue her paper and
stationery for being so careless as
to overlook the dog and Mr. and
Mrs. Alfred Johnson's baby. We
clip the above for analysis in pref
erance to digging in our waste bas
ket for an example, for the reason
that there is no likelihood of any
member of the family being a sub
scriber to The Winder News.
