J. B. COLT Lighting and Cooking Plants sphere are in Barrow County some few /Auylene light plants that have been in use for some six to eight years, and to be economical in upkeep and to be satisfactory. These are a few had lights for some time: R. J. Pentecost, Mrs. Fannie Haynes, R. L. D. S. Thomas. If any one feels so disposed, they may ask these parties ahfHM^m. Since coming to Winder and working in Barrow County, I have had the forty families, which rank among the best people. There are still many homes that need this lighting system; and, if you are I shall be glad to figure up your job and get the order. Thanking each and every one that have purchased lighting systems from J. each and every one a prosperous New Year, Yours to J. B. MAYO, C^^Hfalesman SOME COINCIDENTS IN LIFE OF A PREACHER Dr. R. W. Wallace Came Eack to Valdosta in Eight Years After His Departure. January 4, 1911, Rev. R. W. Wallace registered at a hotel in Ky., to which city he ▼went immediately after leaving yaldosta. January 4, 1919, Rev. R. W. Wallace registered at the Valdes hotel from Winder, Ga., it being ■eight years exactly from the day he arrived in Lexington after leaving Valdosta, until he was here again to resume the pastor ate of his same old church, the First Christian. This is an unusual experience in the life of even a minister. But this is not the only striking inci dent connected with the experi ence of Dr. Wallace. Last month Dr. Wallace was called over the telephone and told that he was likely to receive a call to the pas torate here, and to be giving the matter some consideration. Two mornings later in passing the telegraph office at Winder he was told that there were two messages for him. One was from the Oak Cliff church in Dallas, Tex., a large and prosperous church in that city, stating that he had been unanimously called to the pastor ate. The other temgram was from the First Christian church, Val dosta, stating that he was the unanimous choice of the congre gation. One telegram was receiv ed at 8:30 a. m. and the other at 8:35 a. m. Both calls were attractive and appealing, but the fact that the call to Valdosta was from a for mer congregation, and would bring him back to friends of long ago, true and tried, and the de cision was in favor of V aldosta and Dr. Wallace is therefore again the regular pastor of the First Christian church and is very busy these days renewing his old ac quaintances and making new ones, and receiving the warmest possible welcome from among people of all creeds land those without creeds. And he already feels very much at home. —Valdosta Times. <i Dottee of the Queen Bee. It may be Interesting to some peo jfle to learn t*at all the work In a bee hive Is dene by female bees.

Brand, Chief, Bu reau of Markets, Washington, D. C., also an exact copy of the press notice Mr. Brand refers to in his letter:— December 26, 1918. Mr. W. Hill Hosch, County Agricultural Agent, Winder, Georgia. Dear Sir; I have your letter of Decem ber 21, requesting information rela tive to the sale and distribution of nitrate of soda by the Government during 1919. I am enclosing you a copy of a press notice that has just been sent out for publication, which I trust will give you the in formation desired. Very truly yours, (Signed) Chas. J. Brand, Chief of Bureau. This is a copy of the press notice referred to in the above letter: — Washington, D. C., December 21, 1918. The Secretary of Agri culture today announced that, under the authority of section 27 of the food control Act and subse quent legislation relating thereto, the Department of Agriculture dur ing the coming season would offer nitrate of soda for sale to farmers for fertilizer use. The nitrate will be sold for cash at cost. The price to the farmers will be SBI.OO per short ton, free on board cars at the loading point or port. In addition the farmer will have to pay the freight charges to unloading point and any incidental expenses that he may himself incur in connection with the delivery of the nitrate. The plan used in the sale and dis tribution of the nitrate will follow in a general way, last year’s plan. State Directors of Extension, County Agricultural Agents and nitrate committees, composed of local business men, will direct farm ers in filing their applications. Ap plication blanks to be used by farm ers will be sent to county agents and the members of local commit tees at an early date. Under the law the nitrate will be sold only for cash and the farm er will be required to deposit the money covering the cost of the ni trate for which he applies, with the local bank, association or individual to be designated by the Depart ment. In practically all counties, distribution of the nitrate will be made through county distributors. If the quantity of nitrate that can be secured will fill all orders, each farmer will be allotted the quantity applied for; otherwise, it will be necessary to allot the nitrate pro portionately to those applying for it so that all may participate on ■ a rangements have been made to se cure a large quantity of nitrate and unless the demands should prove very much greater than anticipated there will be enough nitrate to sup ply all reasonable requirements. The distribution will be handled as last year, through the Bureau of Markets. Figuring about the same cost for freight and handling of nitrate as last spring it will make the nitrate of soda bought through the Bureau of Markets cost about or a little less than $85.00 per ton, I think. I wall get the freight rate and by the time we are ready to make applica tions for nitrate be in position to state almost exactly what the nirate will cost delivered per ton. I will have application blanks for fanners to make application for nitrate of soda in plenty of time and as soon as I get them I will distribute them over the county and notify farmers where they can get application blanks, and I will also be glad to help any one in making cut their application. I think this coming season that we may get all the nitrate of soda that we may apply for also get it much earlier than we did last spring. Thanking you, I am, Yours for service, W. HILL HOSCH, County Agricultural Agt., Winder, Georgia. THE BELL OVERALL CO. Annual Meeting of Stockholders Held and Officers for Another Year Elected. The annual stockholders meet ing of the Bell Overall Company was held in the city of Winder Tuesday morning, Dr. W. L. De- Laperriere, presiding as chairman. All of the old officers, W. C. Horton, as president; W. L. De- Laperriere, vice-president and R. L. Evanson, secretary, were re elected for the ensuing year and a semi-annual dividend of five per cent paid to all the stock holders. The report of President W. C. Horton, giving the resources and liabilities of this great plant, the volume of business for the past year and other facts as to its financial success was a wonderful showing. Few industrial plants have made such great strides and protected its stock holders as has the Bell Overall Cos., and this is largely due to the superb and the splendid business judgment and untiring efforts of President W. C. Horton and officials connected with him in this great plant which has been worth so much to the progress of Winder and Barrow County. % ■ M - • yil - The Oakland Six The Sensible Six The beauty in a medium-price six-cylinder Retail price net, SI2OO, with all tax and freight paid Woodruff Hardware Company Milton Wall.
