An Indiana preacher has met

Much has been said about pin
head and pill box hats. Why a l*ox
the size of the la*eat style lady's
hat would hold all the pills owned
by every drugstore patronized by
the members of the Tri-County
Medical Society.
The hired men on The Atlanta
iicorgian have about succeeded in

since .••nine of them wi re employed.

fair grounds in New York this week
and a negro, saying he never saw a
“chicken he could not. hold,' made
an attempt to cage the bird. He

“ SWAMPED. ”
We’ve been “swamped” from
i Monday morning to this good hour,
land if .vou don’t see anything in
i this issue to interest you but ads ,
please remember that page and two
i page eiieulars are Hying over three
|counties proclaiming what Winder,
j the headquarters for up-to-date
styles and low prices in northeast
Georgia, has to offer, and lx nr w th
our shortcomings.
This is the fall opening week for
the merchants in this section, and
that means a stenuous existence for
all hands in the job and ad. de
partments of The Winder News,
for the majority of our business
men practice what they preach —
believe in printers' ink and trade
jat home. Being one of the com
positors, the editor’s time has been
almost wholy consumed in these
! departments. Most of our exchages
are piled one upon top of the other,
(still in their wrappers, and we
haven’t seen many people outside
; our office force from whom to ob
tain news. Our brain is all scram
i bled up with pictures of broad
brimmed hats and the Frenchy
j names of the latest styles. ( ome
! to Winder Friday and Saturday and
view the latest creations in — There
it goes again!
To those merchants who failed to
get their ads into type this week
we wish to state that Mr. N. B.
Lord, whose ability as a printer is
well known, lias been added to The
News force'. So send in all the ads.
: and job woik you wish and wr
guarantee it will receive prompt at
tention.
Mr. Lord's connection will also |
enable the editor to glean a smat-1
taring of what is going on “outside
the shop,’’ and we hope to give ourj
subscribers more news items than |
is found in this issue. The above j
was written to (ill the space it oc
cupies.
The Macon Telegraph propounds
some significant questions to the
Atlanta Journal. It would seem
from reading between the lines that
the said editor, having had his name
recorded in the Atlanta v ity Direc
tory, which he regards as the guide
to voting privileges, neglected the
little formality of paying Brother
Andy Stewart, tax collector of Ful
ton county, a timely visit, and has
been seated in his sanctum disfrair
ehised for these many month®, toll
ing you and 1 how we should vote
to save the state.
hater —The editor of The Jour
nal has admitted that he is not reg
istered.
At some places the Ohio river is
getting so dusty they are talking se
riously of sprinkling it. —Atlanta
; Georgian.
Already has a sprinkling of oil.
The Walton Tribune speaks of
itself as the leading paper in noth
! east Georgia. The gall of some
people gives tis pain in the region
where it hurts when wo eat too
much potlieker. —Gwinnett Journal.
But the envy of an ass never gives
us any especial concern . —Walton
Tiibune.
REVIVAL SERVICES.
Starting next Sunday morning
and continueing for one week, the
Presbyterians will hold protracted
services in their church building.
The Rev. Frank I). Hunt, evange
list for the Presbytery of Atlanta,
will assist the pastor. Mr. Hunt
has been exceptionally successful in
his evangelistic work. He is a live,
wiflc-awake pieaeher of the “old,
old story,’ and if you come he will
wake you up and keep you awake.
A rare treat is in store for all who
hear him. All in Winder are in
vited to come to the services and to
help make the meeting a success.
Those out of Christ are urgently re
quested to come and place them
selves under the sound of the gos

U. D. C. MEETING.
The first fall meeting of the daugh
ters of the Confederacy was held on
Wednesday afternoon at the resi
dence of Mrs. W. Id. Quarterman.
Quite a large number of the mem
bers were present and the meeting
was most enthusiastic.
A delegate was elected to go to
the state convention at Savannah,
and several intend being present at
the national convention, which
meets in Atlanta.
The chapter has enrolled a good
many new memliers, and expects to
add a line sum of money to their
“Cemetery Gateway Funds” at an
early date. They disbanded duing the
shimmer months on account of hot
weather,but expect to hold monthly
meetings duing th*' winter.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank our friends for
the kindness shown us during our
recent illness.

COUNTY LINE.
The night riders have created
some alarm among the people of
this section. We would like to
have a few cotton seed to feed the
cows on, but there are no gins run
ting, and suppose we will have to
abide the consequences.
Our wife was called to the beside
of her sister, Mrs. Jennie McEver,
of near Hosehton, last Saturday.
We are glad to know that Aunt
Margaret Maynard -is some better
at this writing.
Cotton is opening very fast in
this section, and wo are grabbling
it out in a burry, but where in the
douse we'll put it is what's trou
bling me.
What a fine season we have had
for saving hay and forage of all
kinds. Providence seems to be
smiling upon us. If we could get
a minimum price of 12 1-2 cents
lor our cotton we would be doing
very well and maybe we could sat
isfy th >se we owe and have a few
nick Is left to jingle in our pnekets
But be. cotton and 12 l-20. meat
don't suit in, and probably this is
the reason some fellows art trav
eling after dark.
Cotton is shorter in this section
than we anticipated a few weeks ago
and corn is nothing to brag on.
The drouth in August cut us otf on
all sides, hu we must travel on as
though we were making a bountiful
crop It matters not- what comes
nor wdiat g<Vs, we ire sure to fulfill
taio of the great commands —we
are multiplying and repleshing as
fast as we can. So good luck to The
Winder News. Honk! Monk!
