These dis plays are always of interest and this one bids fair to he the most successful yet hold. An Indiana preacher has met his affinity” and skipped with her, deserting Iris family. A public whipping post would go a long way toward stopping this affinity fool ishness. Our appcmtiee has resigned to at tend school. We prevailed upon Mr. N. B. Eord, tax receiver of .lackson county, to accept a position with The Nows during the fall months. The devil has left us and Lord is 0 with us. 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 leading its editor into the sensa tional field.

An ostrich became nnrul.x at the 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 was kicked twenty feet and finally landed in the hospital. This At lanta negro was just a litle too gay. Anew paper to our rxehange table is The Winder News. It car ries us back to our eollegf davs at Athens when Duke Ross and the writer were typos on The Morning Banner, along with .Jerry Young, Weyinan Conway, Ivey Ihorntou, Dude Williams, Walter MeKlhan mm an<l the lamented Rev.

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 pel- 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. Mu. \N'i> Mus. (J. N. Baowkj.i. 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! Saoku. ST ATI m. The view Booth ginnery is now ; in operation. l’ieree Cody is* improving slowly, ;to the delight of his many friends. Mi.
