Three couples were successful in completing the story —Miss Ethel Jackson and Mr. George Fortson, Miss Lucy Jackson and Mr. Logan, Miss Kathleen Coker and Duke Ross. The little story entitled ‘A Tale of a City,” follows: On a (Hill) side, near a (Wood) in which was a gypsy (Camp), a (Hale) old (Saxon) gentleman, named Jack, thought he would ’(Settle) for life. He tied his horse to a (Bush) near a (Pod) while he stopped to eat his (Ham) and bread. He then felt (Young) and (Lay) down to take a nap. A (Strange) WINDER, JACKSON COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1908 man who was working for (Wages) came by, and looking down at his old (Whitehead) said, “I’ll make (Betts) that he is (Green) and has good (Segars) in his pocket. I'll get some of them.” He (Durst) not touch him, but the (Russell) of the leaves waked Jack. He hopped up, hit the fellow with his fist like a (Cannon) ball, and made him see (Starrs) and sent him howling down the (Mayno) street. At this (Jackson) walked up with two (Potts) of paint which he had been using on some (Shcats) of tin to make them (Ware) longer. He carried his father to the (House) and the (Elder) thanked the (Lord) he was safe. S. J. MADDOX FINED.

Shackel ford tried Lard to tangle the city’s witnesses, but Ins efforts were fruit- 1 less. Policeman Copeland declared everythin was so plain to him in the restaurant whem-he saw a man get whisky there that he could al so see flies walking on the walls and dishes. Mayor Strange fined the accused S2OO and cost. Maddox gave bond in §250 and appealed the case. PERRY—WRIGHT. Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the home of the brides’ mother, Mrs. Cal lie Mil Raps, in Winder, occurred the marriage of Mrs. Willie Perry to Mr. John E. Wright, of Mountain district Walton county, Rev. John H. Wood officiating. It w-as a quiet home marriage, only a few relatives of the contract ing parties being present. The home was artistically and beautifully decorated for the occa sion. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Gallic Millsaps, a grand-daughter of the late Greene W. Smith, of this city,and a young lady of charm ing personality. The groom is a popular young man of Walton eountv and very prominent in Lis immediate section. Among those present at the mar riage were Messrs. James, Ralph and Albert M. Wright, Clarence Locklin, Mrs. W . M. Phillips. Mr. and Mrs. Greene Millsaps and Mr. John Millsaps.

Roberts deeply sympathize with them in the loss of their little boy, Henry Lamar, Sandy night. The remains of the little one was laid to rest Monday afternoon in Rose Hill Cemetery .J Rev. A. \V r . Quillian con ducted the funeral services. THE FIOWER SHOW. The flower show given by the ladies of Winder Friday last was a great success. The artistic arrange ment of the van-colored themums, spreading ferns, ect., appealed to the admiration of all who witnessed the gorgeous display. The man who does not love pretty girls, flowers and music needs a guardian and there are few such citizens to be found hereabouts. Here’s hoping that rivalry in flower culture in Winder will grow still more keen and that next season’s display will even surpass in beauty the one given Friday. Death Of An Infant.

Jt was soon discovered that the flames were eating their way among the timbers and general effects of the cellar underne’ath the store room of the Foster Grocery Cos. When observed that the burning of the Foster store was inevitable, the people thought the wise thing to do was to remove some of the goods from the adjoining store room occu pied by the well known Hebrew merchant, M. Mendel and, by he roic effort, quite a goodly number of things were saved. The Mrs. Mary Sandige building, occupied by the Foster Grocery Company and M. Mendel and the Day building, occupied by Mr. Day and Bariett, Medlin & Cos., were totally destroyed, save the annex to the Day building, incurring to each a heavy loss. The Sandige building was insured for $3,250 and the Day building for $2,500. The Foster Grocery Cos., stock of goods, estimated- at some thing like three or four thousand dollars was insured two-thirds and the M. Mendel stock, valued at $15,000 was insured for SB,OOO, a little over half, and the Barrett, Medlin stock, valued at SIS,(XX) was insured for $12,000. —Walton News. NO 31
