BEAUTIFIES HIS HOME.
Mr. J. B. Lay, of our city, who
bought the residence on Midland
Avenue first of the year belonging
to the Estate of the late W. E.
Boyd, has remodeled and beautified
it until he now has one of the pret
tiest homes in the city.
If every mau in Winder owning
a home could do what Mr. Lay has
done it would add greatly to the
beauty and attractiveness of the
city.
Just look at it when you are
on Midland Avenue and notice
what a wonderful change. Spring
time will soon be here and a lit
tle paint added, a few repairs made
and the yards improved will make
you feel better and will attract
the notice of strangers. It helps
you and helps your town and
makes everything more cheerful.

THE BARROW TIMES
WINDER A HUSTLING
CITY
What The Times Reporter Saw
Last Saturday on the Streets
and in the Business Houses
A Times reporter made a round
through the business section of
Winder last Saturday afternoon to
see what was going on in the stores
and on the streets, and it was an
inspiration which gave him pride
and renewed energy when he saw
the stores all filled with customers,
the banks all busy, the streets all
crowded with visitors from over
this and adjoining counties and
every one in a good humor.
As he went up Broad street he
saw several hundred being enter
tained by a patent medicine man
who was telling them of his won
derful remedies for the different
ailments affecting mankind.
lie next dropped in at Herrin’s
Ten Cent Store which had just put
on its special sale for a week and
it reminded him of the Kress and
Woolworth establishments of At
lanta and other large cities —the
store being jammed and packed
with customers.
He then walked out on the con
gested streets marveling over the
push, the advantages and great
possibilities of our city, when that
live wire, C. M. Ferguson, came
near running over him in his fine
ambulance as he was hurriedly
going up Athens street for a very
ill person to be carried to a hos
pital.
Bewildered, the reporter began
looking up for the Fourth National
Bark, thr Piedmont Hotel, the
Hurt and Candler Buildings, think
ing he was in Atlanta instead of
Winder.
When he came to himself he had
been through Broadway, Candler,
Jackson and Athens streets, four of
the leading business thoroughfares
of the city, and could discover no
difference in the great number of
persons on every street, nor the im
mense throngs pouring in and out
of the various stores and banks,
lie. therefore, concluded that while
Winder is not as large as Atlanta,
it is making rapid strides and hopes
to be one of the great industrial
and commercial centers of Georgia
if the business men continue to
hustle and advertise in The Times.
VISITOR FROM LAGRANGE.
Mr. J. T. Rutland, one of the
clever citizens of LaGrange, was
a visitor to our city a few days
ago as the guest of his daughter,
Mrs. J. W. Cooper.
Mr. Rutland was much pleased
with Winder and its people as well
with the pleasure of a few days
here with Mr. and Mrs. Cooper.
LOOK AND READ
AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS, AT
TENTION.
It is a misdemeanour to run your
cars without license tags. It is
ray official duty to see that this
law is observed. If you do not
buy license tags it will be cheaper
to leave your car at home. I can
not give any time, but after March
10th I will arrest all car drivers
seen by me who are operating
without licenses. This is a fair
warning to all. Get your 1919
license tags or keep your ear otf
the roads.

LOYAL GUARDS CLASS OF
YOUNG MEN
The Loyal Guards Class of young
men of the Winder Christian
church deserves mention for the
great work it has and is doing as
a Sunday School Class.
On last Sunday there were 44
young men in attendance and their
aim is to have 50 next Sunday.
These young men have a busi
ness meeting once a month in which
they discuss plans and means for
the best interest of their class and
for extending its influence for good
among young men.
They are all deeply interested
and enthused in their work. At
these meetings they enjoy them
selves socially and have a good
time. These young men are doing
more good than they imagine.
Mr. Custer Ross is president, Mr.
11. E. Milliken, vice-pres., and Mr.
Brady Hill, See.

In the death of Mrs. Stephen
Jackson, Oconee County loses one
of her splendid old women and

last of her sisters.

where she had spent most of her
time of late years and was carried
back to Oconee and buried last
Sunday at the Jackson cemetery.
The funeral was conducted at
Bethabara Church, where a large
concourse of friends and relatives
gathered to pay this last tribute
of love and respect to this good
woman who at her death was 81
years old. She had a large family
connection in Barrow and Oconee
Counties and besides Mrs. Poole,
of our city, her sister, she was the

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY
MR. DAVID I. HARDIGREE
ILL AT HIS HOME
The friends of Mr. David I.
Hardigree will learn with sorrow
that lie has been confined to his
room quite ill for several weeks.
He is now r 78 years old, served
during the entire four years of
the Civil war as a brave confed
erate soldier, and is one of Bar
row County’s best and most re
spected citizens.
The Times wishes that he may
soon be restored to his usual good
health and be spared several
years more of usefulness. It is
sad to contemplate that after a
few more years there will be only
a very small number of these
brave old soldiers left to tell what
they experienced.

IMPORTANT TELEGRAM
ABOUT COTTON
Hon. Hoke Smith, U. S. S.,
lion. T. M. Bell, M. C.,
Hon. 11. M. Dorsey, Governor Ga.
Washington, D. C.,
We heartily approve the efforts
that are being made by you gentle
men to President Wilson* to have
him remove cotton from the em
bargo list.
Respectfully,
R. 11. Whitehead, Sec.,
Bethlehem Local F. E. & C. V.
Barrow County.
It is to be wished by every one
in the south that something may
develop to relieve the cotton situa
tion and cause cotton to advance.
It is highly important, however,
that the farmers reduce acreage
and plant more feed products if
we are to expect cotton to be grown
at a price to enable our farmers to
make it at a profit.
There is no hope for us if a big
crop is planted t his year.
