WINDER WEEKLY NEWS Published Every Thursday Evening Ross Pros. Editors and Proprietors Kntered at the Post office at Winder, CL., as Second Class flatter. Thursday, August 19, 1909. ME HAS WINGS. W'e read of the wonderful achieve ments of men of art, science and invention, and we are amazed. We cheer the Wrights as their aero plane circles the Great White \\ a\ at. Washington and we join the hand dapping throhg as litrriot crosses the English channel in his mono plane. But we must not forget our own. There are the Woodruff Boys who have revolutionized the saw mill business by discovering a de- yice to prevent the losing of time- That is good. When the automo bile made its appearance J. M. Hood and Mae Potts soon had a Beauty on the streets of W inder made in their own shop. 1 hat was tine. We recall the discovery of anesthesia, the greatest panacea for human pain, and pay homage to the beloved Dr. (’l'awford Long, Jackson’s noble son and painful man’s best friend. That was great. But listen! Should the fond dreams of our friend and schoolmate he re alized, then Columbus Thompson will have them all hacked off the hoards- His machine will Be known as the Comnioncrane, Ihe massive wings have been completed and are resting serenely on the front porch of Mr- Thompson s country home, challenging the ad miration of all passers by. When the iron has been wrought by the Woodruff hoys; when the Winder Mobile 80. has fashioned the ma chinery; when Winder’s cotton factory has woven the cloth and her overall factory stitched the rigging, and all is complete each and everv one who prides in native genius, andloves home industry is invited to assemble on Thompson Hill and witness the Coinmoncrane, with our old friend at the sterring wheel, ascend like a bird, circle the Mul berry and descend upon Hancock Heights. Then we will say: That is grand. Here’s to you, Colum bus. PENSION INfORMATION. For the Wmefit of all parties in terested in pensions, we publish be low si letter from Commissioner Lindsey to Judge .James A- W ills: Pension OHiee, Atlanta, CJa., Aug. 12. HK)‘J. —Hon. J. A. Wills, Ordi nary Jackson County- —Dear Judge: l hasten to advise you sit the earli est day possible after the adjourn ment of the General Assembly of the status of the legislation pre sented affecting ihe pension laws. The bill to regulate and tix the fees of the Ordinaries for their pen sion work passed. It allows a fee of SI.OO annually for each pension er on tin 1 rolls. Those on the in digent rolls are to be paid by the county out of the pauper fund; those on the disabled and first class widows* rolls arc to paid out of their annual pension. The hill that passed the 1 House of lxopresentativ-s by a vote of 120 to put in fore* the new Constitu tional amendment that provides a pension for all Confederate soldiers, and the widows of Confederate soldiers married prior to the Ist of January, 1870, not worth over Fifteen hundred Dollars, was at a late hour on Tuesday night tabled iu the appropriation committee of the fv mite, thereby refusing tore port the hill hack to the Senate that it might be read the second time and g<> to the calendar for its pass age on the last day of the session. This action of the committee carries the hill over as unfinished business to the session of 1910. I am sure the bill would have passed in the Senate had it come to a vote. There fore, no change has been made that affects the present pension laws. Voiican use the blank as heretofore, and if you have none, order you a supply at once, that all who desire to apply for a pension under the present law may make and file their applications in this office B fore Oetoßer Ist next. V<*urs respect fully, ' J. W. Lindskv, Commis.-ioner of Pensions. HAD A PROFITABLE TRIP. “We had a pleasant and profita ble trip,” said J. T. Strange when seen By a News man on his return from the eastern markets. “Look here: There are 1500 yards of iVrcals in this lot, and ev ery pattern is new to Winder. If we did not get the goods to please our trade this trip, we had as well cut New York out- 1 hose IVrcals are only 10c and LJjc pel yard. Did you ever see anything tietter and prettier for the money?’ Strange has the goods anti we predict a “Bumper’ sale for this firm should cotton hang around a dozen cents per pound. “DAD. HIRE’S TO YOU.” 1 happened in a home the other night, and over the parlor door saw the legend worked in letters of red: “What Is Home Without a Mother!” Across the other room was another: “Hod Bless Our Home.” Noav what’s the matter with: “God Bless Our Dad!” He gets up early, lights the tire, boils an egg, wipes off the dew on the lawn with his hoots while many a mother is sleeping. He makes the weekly hand out for the Butcher, the gro cer, the milkman, the iceman, and the baker, and his little pile is bad ly worn before he has Been home an hour. If there is a noise in the house during the night, Dad is kicked in the Back and made to go down the stairs and not only locate the burglar, But kill him. Mother darns the socks, but Dad bought the socks, in the first place, and the needle and yarn afterwards. Mother does up the fruit: Dal bought it all, and jars and sugar cost like the old mischief. Dad buys the chicken for Sunday dinner, and serves himself and draws the neck from the ruins af ter everyone else has been served. “What Is Home Without a Moth er!" Yes; that’s all right; all honor toiler memory! But. “What Is Home Without a Father?” Ten chances to one it’s a hoarding house. Father is under the sod, and the landlady is a widow. Dad, here’s to you —you may have your faults —you may have lots of them, hut YOF ARK ALL RIGHT, and we will miss you when you are gone- —T. D M. in Augusta Chron icle. Speaker Holder is much pleased with his present job, and unless the dear home people get busy with their pressure, he will not malm the race for congress, barliceuc to the contrary, notwithstanding. Winder is on both the Atanta to New Yolk and the Atlanta to Au gusta automobile roadways, and it is now up to her to get busy and see that the counties of Gwinnett, Walton and Jackson get the proper support from her in putting the roads leading out of the city in good shape. There are some forty cars owned by our citizens, and it seems to us an auto club would do mueli good in promoting the spirit in adja cent territory. Clarkville Advertiser: A dema gogue is your friend as long as he can control you. HOME MISSION SOCIETY. The Home Mission Society was very pleasantly entertained on Mon day afternoon by Mrs* H. E.
