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.

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. FIRST METHODIST. Sunday School 10:20.
