NOT PLEASED.
The following flipping from The
Jackson Herald of October 28th in
dicates that the editor and possibly
other citizens of Jefferson were not
pleased with their write-up in the
Sunday’s Journal:
“In the Atlanta Journal on last
Sunday was a write-up of Jefferson
The pictures were very good, but the
write-up devoted too much space to
the discovery of anesthesia by Dr.
Crawford \V. hong and to some
other minor matters, and did not
devote enough space to the city of
Jefferson, its history, its resources,
its possibilities, and its men.”
The suggestion as to what should
have been done reminds us of an
accomodating earpender friend of
ours who was lending saws, ham
mers and building material to a
lady living near where he was con
structing a house. When the lady
finally called for a bucket of mor
ter and a trowel our friend’s son no
ticed that the father was weary of
well doing and querried: “What
does she want now, pa?” “She
wants the earth and what's in it,”
the father replied.
The idea of giving the biography
of Jefferson’s men in one issue of
the Atlanta Journal.
We are contemplating devoting
much space to those broad, liberal
minded citizens of Jefferson who
fraternize Winder people and sub
scribe for The Winder News, though
they may not admire the editor.
WHAT IS IN A NAME?
The pretty coin pi i men t paid
Commerce and Winder by the At
lanta Journal for the hospitality
shown the participants in the good
roads contests inspires us to offer
our sincere thanks to the writer for
giving our city and county such
rc ignition.
Twenty-five years ago these names
could not have been found on a
map oi < b'orgia. The places were
marked then by other mum s. Then
it was Harmony Grove and Jug
Tavern.
We are not able to give the rea
sons for discarding the old names
for the new, hut we ask pardon for
becoming reminiscent in this com
nection. A college student from
North Georgia, once mentioned Har
mony Grove in the presence of a
student from Millegeville. who ex
claimed: “Harmony thunder,
where is that town?" The other
student answered: “If you know
nothing of the history of your state
or of its geography, pray keep your
mouth shut and don’t allow your
friends to know that you an* igno
rant of the existence of an impor
tant city in your own state.”
A party who once became ag
grieved at citizens of Jug Tavern
secured position on a weekly paper
and wrote the town up as the stin
giest place on earth, stating that
the people were so stimry that they
drew water from their wells, took a
drink and poured the remainder
lack in the well to keep from wast
ing it. An Athens wag in the long
ago described Loganville, our neigh
boring town, as a wide place in the
road, having two houses, a black
smith shop, some china trees, beer
barrel, a well and some goats.
In those days citizens of these
places were somewhat sensitive to
such jests, but now they care not,
for their reputation for progress
and hospitality to the stranger in
their gates has been heralded from
state to state. Wherever the
national highway is mentioned
Commerce and Winder will receive
favorable comment and praise all on
account of their generous, progres
sive citizens.
WILL WIDEN CANDLER STREET
Tuesday night council passed an
ordinance to make Candler St. from
the junction of Church to the street
leading to the cemetary fffty fee
wide. The street committee should
now get busy. The residents of this
street have petitioned for the work
and council has oonsented. Why
delay? If you let spring creep on
you, shrubbery will again play a
pa rt.
Winder made a pretty good show
ing for the Classic City in the good
roads endurance contest pulled off
Tuesday.
From the endorsements of the ad
ministration of Judge C. H. Brand
which appear on another page of this
issue, it would seem that he is pret
ty solid with lawyers, county of
ficers and court officials.
Walter Jackson, cashier of the
First National Bank of Winder,
driving his E. M. K. car, was in
five feet of Dr- Fullilove, the pace
maker in Tuesday's endurance run,
when that gentleman was checked
in at the Speedway in Atlanta.
PAT ItRSON-SETTLE.
Sunday afternoon, at the home
of the bride in Lawrenceville, oc
curred the marriage of Miss May
Patterson and Mr. Ernest Settle, of
this city. The grandfather of the

J. S. Settle, and has many friends
here who are extending eongratuhi
tons. Mr. and Mrs. Settle are

DRUG STORE CHANGES HANDS.

S. T. Ross and Mr. W. B. MeCants,
und these gentlemen intend to car
ry on a fir.-t-class drug business

high standard maintained by Dr.
Turner. Mr. McC’ants will have
charge of the business end for the
tirm. Dr. Turner will remain with

KICKED WHILE ILEDING HORSE.
William Henry Quartermnn, Jr.,
received painful injuries last Satur
day, when we was kicked in the face
by a colt while feeding it.
The whole force of the blow
landed on his nose and above his
left eye, making an ugly wound
that bad to be sewed up. It in not
serious, but a very painful accident.
He is getting on alright and will
soon be well.
DEATH Of MR. GEY THOMPSON
Last night al*out nine 0 o’clock,
at Bethlehem, Mr. Guy Thompson
answered the Master's last call.
He had not l>een well for some time,
and had to leave Athens, where he
was in the I’niversitv and return
home. He had been home only a
few weeks when the end came.
He was well known and beloved
by hundreds of Winder people, hav
ing gone to school and graduated
from the Winder High School
In the fall of IbOT he entered the
University of Georgia where he re
mained until a few weeks before
his death.
He was a faithful studept, a good
man, and leaves behind him a re
cord that is an honor to his people.
.They lost a dutiful and an obedient
son.
He was the only son of Mr. and
Mrs. Thompson, of Bethlehem,
where he has lived all his life, and
where he died. He leaves his father
