DEDICATION OF CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
Many From a Distance Come to
Winder to Attend Services.
Sunday was the day set for the
dedication of the new Christian
church, and quite a number of vis
itors from neighboring towns were
here on that occasion.
The day dawned a little gloomy
and some of the members of the
church were doubtful, for there was
the large sum of $7,500 to be raised.
However, the clouds soon passed
away, the sun came out in all his
glory and the new church was
crowded.
After a most excellent sermon by
George L. Snivcly, of Greenville,
111., pledges or cash were called
for, and to the utter amazement of
all concerned, when the day had
passed into history and the amounts
were counted it was found that
about $9,500 had been raised. This
. filled all hearts with joy, strong
•men shed tears and all were happy.
. The house was then dedicated to
. the worship of God with all debts
more than provided for. Mr. Snive
ls has few equals in his line of work.
His sermons were eloquent and en
joyed by the large audiences which
assembled three times during the
day to hear him. The music was
a feature and the aid of all is ap
preciated by the members of the
Christian church.
The fact that some of our visitors
were liberal donors to the worthy
cause 'was quite noticeable, the
names of Atlanta. Lithonia, Law
renceville, Monroe and Athena be
ing heard in the announcements.
Winder now has as handsome
churches as any town of her size in
the state and surpasses most of them.
Her citizens feel justly proud of her
interest in the cause of Christianity.
HORSE AND BUGGY STOLEN.
Saturday night a horse and buggy
belonging to Mr. Leek Smith was
stolen from the hitching grounds in
Winder. He advertised extensively
and the thief, a negro, was cap
tured at Marietta Tuesday.
The negro gave his name as
Elijah Stamper and his home as
Dallas, Ga. Stamper and Mina
Brown came from Gainesville to
Winder Saturday afternoon.
The chief of police in Marietta
caught the negro about six miles
from the city. He had traded the
horse and buggy in Marietta for a
mule, but the trade was reversed
after the capture.
Chief Copeland and Mr. Smith
went to Marietta Wednesday and
the latter now' has his property and
the thief is in jail at Jefferson.
The horse was stolen from just
inside the Jackson county line, to
the rear of Grifieth, Smith & Cos.,
and parties thereabouts, who had a
vivid experience in a cotton steal
ing case, have requested us to state
that they are highly elated that
the animal did not get on the other
side of the hitching post, as they
are anxious to see the horse thief
given the limit of the law.
Miss Lida Mae McKibben was
the charming hostess who enter
tained the members of the T. D.
Club Tuesday afternoon. Fifteen
members were present with their
directress, Mrs. George DeLaper
riere. An hour was pleasantly spent
in the usual manner. A dainty
fruit luncheon was served by Mrs
McKibben and Mrs. Strange.

DISTRICT CONVENTION I. 0. 0. f.
The Public Meeting Greatly Enjoyed
by Large Audience.
The District convention I. O- O. F
was held in Winder Tuesday. There
were about three hundred Odd Fel
lows in line as they filed from their
hall to the opera house to listen to
the address of the day, delivered by
Grand Representative R. T- Daniel,
of Griffin.
In the absence of Division Grand
Master Adams, of Bethlehem, Col.
Holmes, of Statham, took charge of
the public session and introduced
Rev. W. T. Hunnicutt, who in a
few chosen words paid a high trib
ute to the order and welcomed the
visitors to Winder in behalf of the
local lodge.
Though not aware that he would
be called on to respond until he ar
rived at the gathering, Col. Holmes
made a happy little speech in behalf
of the visiting members, on the
line that the gathering was more in
the nature of a home coming than
a visitation, after which he intro
duced the speaker of the day.
Mr. Daniel began by relating a
few amusing incidents and jokes
suitable to the occasion. When he
had gotten his auditors in a thor
ough good humor he lapsed into
seriousness and eloquence and de
livered one of the finest speeches
on friendship and fellowship ever
heard in this section of the bate.
Mr. Daniel’s speech was warmly re
ceived by the large audience of Odd
Fellows and citizens.
Division Deputy Grand Master
Adams had been called to the bed
side of a patient and did not ar
rive at the meeting until the con
clusion of Mr. Daniel’s address.
He then took charge of the meeting
and gave his hearers an enthusias
tic talk, after which Rev. John H.
Wood dismissed the assemblage with
a fervent prayer.
The convention held secret ses
sions in the afternoon and evening.
At the evening session a prize of
S4O was given for the best floor
work by teams of the lodges repre
sented. Jefferson and Bethlehem
competed for the prize and Bethle
hem carried home the trophy.
Col. J. C. Ayres, of Jefferson,
was nominated by the division as
deputy grand master.
Members of I. O. O. F-, we wish
to add our voice to that hearty wel
come. Come again.
