MRS. A. E. BUSH ENTERTAINS.
firemen of the Third Ward Given a
Royal Good Time.
One of the most elaborate affairs
ever given in Winder was the four
course dinner given Wednesday by
Captain and Mrs- E. A. Bush in
honor of the firemen of the third
ward.
Mrs. Bush was assisted in receiv- :
ingby Mrs. I*. I*. Jennings. It is
needless to say everything possible
was done to make the occasion pleas
ant.
The reception hall was lovely in
its color scheme of violet and green.
Here from a huge batik of Califor
nia violets and ferns punch was
s Tved throughout, the reception.
The parlors were a vision of loveli
ness in its decorations of hand
some palms, ferns and begonias.
Promptly at 1:30 the dining
room doors were thrown open and
dinner was announced. The deco- j
rations here far surpassed those else
where. Here white and pink were
used in profusion, and the white
lilac wafted to each guest spring’s
gentle salute. The exquisite hand
made lace table cover over pink
satin testified to the skill of Mrs.
Bush with the needle.
To In; seated at this richly laden
table, resplendent with exquisite
china, cut glass and silver, made
each fireman present feel he was
fully repaid for all the cold night
calls of the fire hell.
After being served with everything
that goes with a four-course dinner
from soup, turkey, etc., io desert
and fruits, each fireman was pre
s ‘nted with a souvenir, a white sat
in badge inscribed “Firemen of
Third Ward, Winder, Ga.”
Those present were Chief C. M.
Ferguson, Captain E- A. Bush,
Messrs. McCants, McCutehens,
Griffeth, Bond, Allen, Starr, Boh
GrifTeth, Dr. W. H. Bush, P. P.
Jennings, G. W. Smith and Claud

WE LOVE- Wf. LOW m,,.
We love the good old quiet way
our fathers used to have of going to
church and entering when they got
there; we love not the noisy mode
of standing around outside the doors
and waiting for the “brethern to
raise’’ the tune- We love the peace
ful pursuits of quiet life, the farm
er’s work and worth; we love not
the noise of public place, the glam
our of glory, the rush of politics, and
the sardonic smile of the hypocrite.
We do not dislike the ghowy rose;
but we dearly love the modest violet
whose fragrance fills the ambient
air with it* richness. It may be
necessary some time to pierce the
heart with thrusts of violence; but
we’d rather another would do it
than to be ourselves the instru
ment. Our conscience would rest
easier, our sleep would be
sweeter. We would rather share
the lot of the humble and lowly and
have the refining influence of their
company, the strong belief in their
prayers, than to be the companion
daily of the haughty rich, and the
rich are often haughty, and share
in the luxury of their dainties, and
feel the depressing influence of their
sardonic laugh, their hypocritical
praise and self-importance.
We love the common people; from
them we sprang; to them we look
for honesty and integrity; we are of
them andlove our own. They have
nocorner on goodness,but they come
nearer to it than any other class.
The common people have always
borne the burden in time of distress
and revolution; they have been the
bulwark of liberty; they are nerev
severe,but always firm. They punish
only to restrain; they love to honor
true worth and despise him who
pretends to be what he is not
t Others may stab, may assassinate
character, may tear down the nobß
by wrong to build themselves up;
we will seek to scatter truth and
right, to make the humble man to
feel less the weight of life; to help
those striving along the right way to
see a better day, a brighter sun, a
broader smile, a sweeter side of life.

We sec no reason why the white
convicts should not Im* worked on
public highways instead of buying
a farm. If a man commits acritne

hard work and not a soft snap which
it would he if on a farm. The state
needs their service to make good
highways instead of farming. Too

All the fun of staying out late at
night is lost when there’s nobody
at home to carry on about it.
The easiest way for a woman is
to do a tiling and then find the rea
son for it afterwards.
A man wasts most of his money
because there are so many sensible
things to do with it he can’t choose
which.
An optimist is such a poor guesser
that he can think that he’s sailing
a flying machine when he is tumb
ling out of it.
