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 dress goods at Kilgore & Kelly’s.f Mrs. Mattie O’Neal, of Birming ham, Ala., is visiting her sister, Mrs- J.

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.
