WINDER, JACKSON COUNTY. GEORGIA, THURSDAY. MAY 20, 1909
TRIP TO RUTLEGE
Ye Editor and Briscoe Williams Do a
Little Sprint of Path Finding Without
Attracting Indue Attenton.
We took a little good roads tour
all of our own Monday, thanks to
Briscoe Williams, of The Winder
Lumber Company. Wo were not
enthusiastically greeted by the pop
ulace along the route, but we had
the pleasure of insulting every
hound dog between Winder and
Rutledge, Ga, and all in all the trip
was greatly enjoyed.
On the down trip we stopped
over for an hour at Monroe and
while there were taken in charge by
Hon. Sanders Walker,who piloted us
through the bank of Monroe, just
completed by the Winder Lumber
Company, and one of the handsom
est bank buildings in northeast
Georgia. Tt is strictly up-to-date
in all of its appointments and far
in advance of the present size of the
town, although there is no small
city in this entire section which is
more thoroughly abreast of the
times and building faster than is
Monroe, nor is there a county in
the state which is making greater
strides toward the improvement of
loads than the county of Walton.
Bud O’Shields, the Jackson county
hoy, is in charge of the road gang
It seems that his only instructions
have been, “Take this gang and
build roads,” and he is placing old
Walton in grand shape- And to
no one man is more credit due for
the improvement now going on at
Monroe and in Walton county than
the Hon. Sandeis Walker.
From Monroe to Social Circle the
roads arejn fairly good shape, and
after we lurd made this twenty-min
ute ride we could not help being
impressed with the fact that the
hustling little city of Monroe sup
ports two of the best weekly news
papers in the state, while every ven
ture of this kind launched at Social
Circle for the past twenty years Was
Exceedingly low prices on their

Avery unique and delightful
entertainment was given last Friday
afternoon by Mr. and Mrs. R. L.
Rogers complimentary to the teach
ers of the Public School and some
other special friends. The guests
were received in a most cordial
manner hy Mr. and Mrs. Rogers
on the wide veranda of their hand
some home. When all had gath
ered, they were invited to the wood
land where a social and informal
hour was -pent m merry conversa

ant and delicious picnic supper was

stranded right in sight of the port.
/And what is the result?
At Monroe we were thrilled by
the hum of the saw and the ring of
the hammer and at Social Circle the
only music to reach our ears was
the grinding of the wheels of the
automobile as it dug its way through
! the sand. When merchants and
business men haven’t ginger enough
to support and alive a local
newspaper, the t<wn is dead.
Beyond Social Circle and on <<
Rutledge there is the file st Lvd
! stretch of country it has ever he-; n
lour pleasure to pass through. The
cotton crops are in fine shape and
dotted here and there along the
roadside are (lowing oat fields just
budding into maturity.
Rut-led,a is a small town on the
Georgia railroad of about tl /O in
| habitants, and yet the hoard of : and
| Mention contracted with the Winder
Lumber Company for the erection
of a modern school building which
will cost when completed $12,000.
The building now being torn away
was very similar to the present
\\ inder public school building.
There was some excitement in the
little town when we arrived. One
negro had shot and killed another
who had refused to pay him a debt
of 15 cents. The alleged murderer
had been spirited away to Madison
to avoid a lynching at the hands of
his brothers in black and almost
the entire day was being consumed
in holding funeral services over the
body of tlic dead one.
We left Rutledge at 0:30 p- m.,
stopped over one-half hour at Mon
roe and rolled into Winder at 0:10
p. m.,a distance of thirty-two miles
in a little more than two hours, the
journey from Monroe being made
after dark and the. night a cloudy
one.
Where Quality Counts
WHEN BUYING
SHOES
LOOK FOR
Style, Comfort and
Durability.
Do not be talked into buy
ing shoes because the price
is low, you will find the
quality low too. Four
years of shoe dealing has
taught us that it pays to
handle the best. Our “Queen
Quality” fits where others
fail. Our “Florsheim Shoe”
is for the man who cares.
