■ When a city has a big attraction
they usually employ extra police
men to “care for the visitors.”
Atlanta is talking about widen
r ing Peachtree street. Winder is
not the only one with street troubles.
If everybody was rich then every
body would do nothing. As it is,
most every body will do anything.
More or less a matter of. price,
.After all, the people of Winder
have as good or better reputation
'than the average town this size.
The cops will tell you this is true.
* Tiiis warm weather is giving
Everybody a fair chance to buy coal.
But the cold wave will surely follow
the prosperity wave, as they usually
come in pairs.
There is some discussion about
the hook worm and the million dol
lar gift from John 1). Anyway it
won’t hurt the people to have the
money spent here, whether for
the hook worm or not.
According to the Meigs Review,
the country newspaper is the big
gest trust on earth. Trusts every
body, gets cussed for trusting, mis
trusted for cussing, busts for trust
ring and cussed for busting.
A woman living just outside of
Atlanta has been arrested and con
victed of selling liquor. Possibly
she followed out the characteristics
of women, and told all her friends
and neighbors she was selling booze.
The country at large is now hav
ing a much needed rest from the
Cook-Peary controversy, Roosevelt’s
African hunts, and when Taft re
turns home we suppose all will be
quiet and we can take a pleasant
nap. %
Yes, sure the hook worm disease
prevails in Georgia and all over the
Southern States. Every disease
that the people can hatch up is
credited to the South and Georgia
especially, but still we live and
see no differance- Wonder what
disease we will have next?

DISHES WALK.
•f* •
According to an exchange, for an
hour the contents of a house were
turned up side down, and some
things were walking around. Plates
and other dishes would set up on
edge and roll around.
These are credited to several dif

and some unseen human power.
Anyway we hope these things
will stay in Oregon as we don’t want
any such freakish tilings as that
here.
