OLD POLKS ENJOY
*
Ail-Day Singing at Baptist Churth
and Revel in Memories of
Long Ago.
Last Sunday was a red letter day
for many people in and around
Winder, because the old folks had
an all-day singing which revealed a
vast cloud of precious memories of
the days that are past and gone.
Men and women lived over the hal
cyan days of their youth, when,
mounted on their horses they rode
merrily ten, twenty and thirty
miles away to the singing school
that was being taught by K. F.
White, E. .1. King, Leonard P.
Breedlove, Singing Billy Walker
and some others of the worthies of
that day who wrote and taught the
music that cheered and encouraged
people in their warfare in their life.
Many last Sunday were again at
the old church where the school
was being taught fifty or sixty
years ago. They saw the bright,
faces of their friends of that day,
who now sleep in the dead or are
carrying the weight of many years
’as they journey along the last stages
of their earthly pilgrimage. Blessed
memories, happy days of yore,
precious and beloved friends of the
distant past, through the long vista
of nearly three score years, we greet
you, living or dead, and say that
your mcmeory to us will he pre
cious forevermore. ,
The meeting last Sunday was l
called to order by our friend and
townsman, Brother Seymour, who
opened the exercises with one of
the good ol(J songs of the Sacred
Harp, the book that was used dur
ing the exercises of the day. Mr.
Blasingame spoke words of welcome,
and prayer was offered by Rev.
Griswald. Then the singing began
in good earnest, led by Messrs.
Ethridge, Harrison, Dalton, Sey
mour and others. Before adjourn
ment for dinner Mr. Seymour made
an address in which he extolled the
music of the Sacred Harp, and
showed under what hard conditions
our fathers and grandfathers and
friends of that age served the Lord,
yet did their part worthy and well,
and that we should preserve the
music which was their means of
expressing their devotion to God
and His cause as a memorial of
them and their work.
After dinner the singing was re
sumed, being led by Messrs. Har
rison, Cheek, Hillman Jackson,
Jesse B. Lyle and others, and the j
day s singing closed with the old
favorite of our fathers, “The Dart
ing Hand.”
It was a day of much enjoyment
to all, and the singing was quite
good and brought tears to eyes un
used to weep. May all who joined
in this delightful exercise of wor
ship live long and attend many
such meetings in the future years.
The brethren all enjoyed them
selves, and carried away pleasing
memories.of the day, and expressed
hearty thanks to the Baptists of
Winder for the use of their house
of worship.

THE CONTEST.
Pretty Girls Working Hard But Keep
ing Their Own Secrets.
The contest is moving serenely
along, and grapevine specials
declare that the contestants are
meeting with a hearty reception and
all kinds of encouragement.
It has lieen said that a woman
could not keep a secret, hut if a
pretty girl is a woman, we wish to
enter a positive denial, for the con
testants in The News Popular Not
ing contest have successfully evaded
our every effort to find out just
how many votes are living held hack
for the final show down. But that
is all right. The smiles and the
specials indicate that all is well.
Watch for the final score. The
contest has twelve more days to
run. No ballots have been received
this week, hence we omit the tabu
lated statement.

SHOW
At The Lyric This Week is
Marvelous.
Madam Ellis A Cos., who are fill
ing an engagement at the Lyric this
week, are presenting the most
unique and novel exhibition that
has ever been seen in Winder.
A woman is blindfolded securely
on the stage while her assistant
passes through the audience, the
instant her assistant is shown an
article the lady on the stage calls
out exactly what it is, and describes
numerous articles with a rapidity,
and accuracy that is amazing to
behold. She reads names and ad
dresses, numbers that run into the
millions, and answers questions in
a way that is convincing to the most
skeptical.
The other members of the com
pany are as good in their lines as
the mindreader is in her’s, making
all in all a show that is highly en
tertaining and worth double the
price that the courteous manage
ment charges for admission.
GEORGIA CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY
Convention of Christian Church Closes
Best Session Friday Morning.
The Georgia Christian Missionary
convention of the Christian
Churches closed one of th* liest ses
sions last Friday morning. The
meeting was held in the Christian
church here. The delegates were
cared for by the good people of
Winder, and entertained in a man
ner that is always accredited to this
place.
There were some three hundred
delegates and visitors in attendance.
Among these were seven mission
aries from foreign fields, and seven
speakers from other states.
The leading addresses were as
follows: Educational —J. C. (’aid
well, North Carolina; W. C Pierce,
Tennessee; Mr. Donaldson, Ken
tucky; 11. B. Robinson, Texas.
Missionary —Fred E. Hagan, Ja
pan; W. J. Wright, Ohio; 11. K.
Pendleton, Georgia; Mrs. Ford.
South America; E. W. Pease, Nor
way; Mr. Eliott, Florida. Benev
olence —J. H. Mohortor, Missouri-
C. W. B. M —Mrs. L. M. Omer,
Georgia; Mrs. J. 11. Wood, Geor
gia. W. S. G. M.—Miss Mabel
Langford, Georgia; Mrs. B- O. Mil
ler, Georgia. C. E. —Mrs. Jasper
Bell? Georgia- S. S, —Marion
Stevenson, National Superintend
ent, Missouri.
Enthusiasm ran high and a spirit
of brotherly love prevailed through
out all the sessions. There was
contributed by churches and dele
gates for the various causes over
$4,100.00. This was in cash and
pledges. The convention made ar
rangements for three permanent
scholarships in the Bible College at
Kimberlin Heights, Tenn., which
will place three men in Georgia
fields every year for all time to
come.
The delegates were unanimous in
praising Winder, went away happy
and we were truly glad to have
them in our midst.
“IELL YOUR WILE."
Local talent held the boards at
the Lyric Monday night, and of
course proved a good drawing card,
as the popularity of the individual
participants always presages a suc
cess.
If the cheering counted for any
thing, then ♦■lie audience was elated
for the players individually and
collectively, received round after
round of applause.
We are of the opinion that “Tell
Your Wife” is a poor plav, and
think the command contained in
the title poorer policy.
We are ;t4l proud of Winder’s
brass hand, and any old play is all
right that helps the l>oys along.
It a few short months the hoys
composing this hand have rounded
into good musicians and compare
favorably with the best hands of the
state.
The playing of the string [hand,
which funished the music in the
opera house, was delight, and Win
der is justly proud of them.
Individually the members of the
east acquitted themselves splendidly,
and the acting of J. J- Wilson
deserves special mention.
Quite a neat sum was realized for
the band by the presentation of
“Tell Your Wife.”
ENTHUSIASTIC CROWS WATCH RUN.
Winder Car Rolls In the Speedway at
the Wheels of Pacemaker.
The road from Athens to Atlanta
by way of Winder held the atten
tion of the people Tuesday. The
great endurance race was on, and
at every cross roads crowds gather
ed to witness the passing of the
speeding oars,
Winder, Hosehton, Bethlehem
and Statham were all represented
in this branch of the great auto
mobile move on Atlanta, and all ac
quitted themselves well and the
majority made perfect scores.
Dr. IL M. Fullilove, of Athens,
was pacemaker, and of course was
cheeked in first. Right at his
wheels was W. L. Jackson, Hying
the colors of the First National Bank
of Winder and J. E. Darby of Beth
lehem driving E. M. F. ears. These
cars lielonged in class B, but made
the trip to Atlanta in three hours
and twenty minutes, having passed
•ill the ears in class A- Neither one
of these gentlemen left their seats
during the entire trip and their
ears rolled into the Club House in
perfect condition.
All the Winder entries with the
exception of Homer Smith, who
had his wheel smashed, made the
trip in the time allowed in good
shape and all are jubilant over the
success of t he trip.
“THE SHOW GIRL.”
The presentation of “The Show-
Girl” at the Lyric Saturday seemed
to strike a responsive chord in the
hearts of those present, and encore
after encore was given the individ
ual players. There is no plot, to
the play, but a wide range for
music, fun and frollic. The danc
ing was a Rive the average, the
songs good and the jokes passable.
The girls were pretty and the en
thusiasm of the audience demon
strative. The audience was large
and went away well pleased with
the evening’s entersainrnent.
