WINDER. JACKSON COUNTY. GEORGIA. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 2, 1909 v
MISS WILLS THANKS HER LRIENDS.
Mr. Editor: —Please allow me,
through the columns of The Winder
News, to extend my hearty thanks
to those friends who so generously
aided me in winning the capital
prize in the contest inaugrated by
vour paper.
It is a real pleasure to know that
my friends were so much interested
in my success, which was shown by
their cheerful manner of tendering
their subscriptions, often voluntary,
as well as their eongiatulations af
terwards.
1 must here express my apprecia
tion of the generous lady competi
tors whose energy and hustle kept
me busy for six weeks. I commend
their spirit of rivalry while thank
ing them for their courtesy toward
me.
I shall prize the piano as a
memento of the good will and esteem
of the friends who enabled me to
win it, and will l>eever grateful to
them.
Thanking you, Mr. Editor, for
this kindness and the many courte
sies shown me during the contest, I
am, Most respectfully,
Susie Wills.
AT THE LYRIC.
Joshua Simpkins was the center
of attraction in Winder Saturday
night. This show is not new to this
section. Those who remembered
the former visit came again, and
those who had never seen it, came
to; thereby making a packed house.
The plot of the storv was excellent
and the superb acting made the oc
casion very enjoyable-
Following Josbutt was “The
Waif of the Mines.”
This was a western show of the
best type. The lives and charac
ters of people of that part of the
country was illustrated in a very
entertaining way. The story was
gqod and each one carried out their
parts in a very creditable way.
The Lyric engagement gives each
season better showN.
If the town suppoits the shows,
we would soon have good numbers
each week. The best companies
will not come here or go anywhere
if the town has a reputation of not
supporting them.
The manager of the local play
house in trying hard to bring a
class of shows here that will please
the public, and in doing so he asks
the public for their support.
For Salt —One pony and buggy.

Will THEY BE ASKED EO MOVE ON.
Some weeks ago a little Chinaman
arrived m Winder from San Fran
cisco. He knocked at the door of
Winder’s public school and was
admitted. He was neat, clean and
well behaved, hut he was a Chink.
A howl was raised by some of the
patrons of the school, and this Wr.ek
the board of education instructed
Superintendent Robeson to send the
little Celestial home. We don’t
question the wisdom or right of the
lx>ard, and do not wish To be mis
understood. For 20 years, in the
ranks of organized labor, we have
added our protest to others aeainst
the admission of the Chinese, Japa
nese and all the anarchistic riff-raff
of Europe into this country. But
what we can’t understand is this.
The same men who shut the door
of knowledge in the face of this lit
tle Chink, cough up money every
year to build school houses in China
and send our best Puritan blood
across the seas to educate them.
When these Christian gentlemen
reach the Glory Land and meet
some of their converts of heathen
lands, will they protest to St. Peter
for the Chinks to move on?
THEY GET ’EM ANYWAY.

• A SIGN OE PROSPERITY"
All day Saturdry the streets of
Winder were crowded.
People from several miles in the
country, visitors from other towns
and home people. There is no
letter proof of the popularity and
prosper*v of a young city than to
see her streets crowded with people
hungry for the goods that have been
laid in store for them.
It is a high compliment to the
town and (‘specially to the mer
chants to have customers who live
✓
near other towns or even in them
come here to do their shopping.
It depends largely on the im
pression you make on a man
whether he will come hack or not*
With the close of each year count
less families move near Winder to
take the place of those who have
moved out,and naturally they come
here first to do their trading and if
pleased they will continue to do so,
but if they are met indifferently,
they are apt to go somewhere else,
not only with their money, but
with their influence as well.
However small their influence
may he, it will all help to make
Winder.
It is Winder's misfortune to le
situated in three counties, thereby
making her rather weak poltitcally,
but if we win the stamp of ap
proval of the people in her im
mediate vicinity, we cannot help
being benefited.
Winder’s citizenry is composed
of intelligent, thrifty and congenial
people, and with this combination/
Irer success is sure. Grab a peg,
Lx>ys, and help push.
BIRTHDAY PARTY.
A pretty event of Tuesday even
ing was t\t birthday party at which
Miss Emma Ola Heed entertained

cally arranged in all the rooms. .
Mapy enjoyable, sames were play

with fruit, where a salad course and
dainty refreshments were served.
The hostess was assisted in enter
taining by Mrs Jennings and Miss
Iveila O’Neal.
At a late hour the guest departed,
each wishing the hostess many pleas
ant. birthdays.
WILD HORSE HAS HIS PUN.
Broad street witnessed a few ex
citing moments Monday aftermxm
when a restless horse quit his post
in front of Turner’s Pharmacy.
There happened to be no one in
the hugg.v at the time and old George
had it all by himself down Broad
to Bush’s lower corner and up by
the S. A- L. depot.
But here his gay run and play
fulness ended, as someone halted
him.
He became a little too gay in his
chase and it was discovered that he
hail broken one of the shafts and
also badly torn his harness. And
still more, when his rocky path was
retraced it was also found that he
hud thoughtlessly run into a com
rade by the wayside and had spilled
a sewing machine, leaving it a hope
less wreck.
After a few hours of recreation,
he was redressed, hitched up and
his master drove out of town as
happy as a lark.
