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.

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.
