THE WINDER NEWS. * Published Every Thursday Evening —by — ROSS CANNON. R. O. ROSS, Editor. C. R. CANNON, Business Manager. Entered at the Postoffice at Winder, Ga., as Second Class Mail Matter. Thursday, December 9, 1909. Council met Tuesday and AGAIN decided to widen Pig Tail alley. Congress met Monday and is now down to business, killing time and making provision for holiday money. The Winderites who wax warm and then cold on the Pig Tail alley proposition, were doubtless Uncom fortable this morning, if the cold time was on. Whether one walks the narrow way in life or not, if he should die and be buried in Winder he must travel the narrow way through Pig Tail alley to the cemetery- The meanest man has been found in many places, but it is our opin ion that the Griffin man who stole the communion wine from a church in that place lias them all beaten to a frazzle. “Ncwnan is your charge, go'! do your dutv,” said Bishop Hendrix toltev.'R. .1. Pigham, .when 4sg ham asked to be released of this charge. Even this bishop showed a spirit of firmness when dealing with the under-dog, so to speak. Representative (iillespie.of Texas, has introduc'd a hill in the nation al house to probe the sugar trust scandal to its very core. The ’hill seeks to find out what the agents, officers and servants of the so-called trust has contributed to , state and , * . ' . v f . national campaign funds. In Page county, Virginia, Tues day, a young brother of Miss Lilly Gouchenour, the 17-year-old daugh ter of Daniel Goohenour, applied a lighted mutch to her clothing with the remark, “I’ll burn you up.” The girl was soon enveloped in llarnes and received burns ihat will prove fatal. With an increase in drunkenness in Atlanta over the record for last year of 54 per cent Georgia’s second year of prohibition is rapidly drawing to a close If Atlanta’s record in dicates the condition in other parts of the state, then one is safe in say ing that prohibition does not pro hibit drunkenness at all events. The /Southern Commercial con •gress closed its session in Washing ion Tuesday with its new million dollar home in Washington no longer a dream, but an organized project, financed, signed and sealed. Lhie hundred men of the south have each subscribed to it SI,OOO worth of stock in the Southern Building Corporation, which is formed to build a permanent home in Washington City for the con gress. Rev. Hugh Wallace, the young Atlanta Baptist divine who was willing to die rather than give up his ideas about close communion, has undergone a change. The gentle persuasions of the old line Baptists have brought the tender foot to taw, srd last week he was ordained into the fellowship of this good denomination. Hugh is now advertising for a wife- With all due respect for the cloth, but wouldn’t Hugh have been a howling success as press agent for a second - class circus. POLITENESS PAYS. The tension at which the average American business man works is causing brusquenes? to lreeome a characteristic of our people. Very few business men are polite in their every day dealings with each other. This is not as it should be. Polite ness pays, and is really very little trouble after all. A little more thoughtfulness, a little more care in dealing with people you meet will bring good results. It is easy to Im* polite when you acquire the habit, just about as easy, in fact as it is to Ik* brusque and short in your manner. If a man would stop to think what a valuable asset the friendship of other people is he would doubtless he more suave in his dealing with his fellowmen. It very often happens that a person loses the friendship of others, from trivial causes, such as failure to treat them courteously when meet- ing them. Courtesy is easily ac quired and when it becomes a habit easy and natural. Other things being equal, the average man is going to bestore his favors on those who treat him courteously. This is true in business as in other affairs of life. Politicians find it necessary to lie polite to everybody. If they were not they would stand but a poor show of success. Let us draw a les on from the politicians and observe the amemnities of life more care fully with those with )vhom we come in contact. It will be found to be of immense advantage and the re sults will he m#st. gratifying. Greet those whom you meet with a smile and a gracious bow instead of a curt nod and brusque manner. Von will find you will have more friend and inatiy real benefits will result. — Rome Tribune Herald. “The Servant in the Home” for a whole week at the Grand opera house, Atlanta.
