J. W. ABNER 83 YEARS OLD
SPENT FOUR YEARS IN THE
WAR OF 60’s.
Mr. J. W. Abner, who lives in
Winder and who has always been
a citizen of Jackson, Gwinnett,
and Barrow counties, is now 83
; years old and still quite active.
Four years of his life were spent
in the service of the South as a
brave Confederate soldier, and 12
months of this time he was a pri
soner of war at Fort Deleware,
where he endured with thousands
of other Confederate soldiers, the
hardships imposed on them at this
prison.
They suffered much from the
severe cold weather and for the
lack of something nourishing to
eat. Had it not been, he says, for
making rings and other trinkets
from bones that they sold to the
federal soldiers, in exchange for
things to eat, they would have had
hardly enough to prevent starv
ing.
Mr. Abner was in Capt. Tim
Thompson’s company, which went
from Jefferson, and very few of
those who enlisted with him are
now living.
The roll call of these old vet
erans finds fewer of them every
year, and we who have come on
since that period, too often for
get their sacrifices and their suf
ferings and pass them almost un
noticed.
ATTENTION, CANNING

We are going to formulate a
plan whereby we can dispose of
the canned products left over from
last year. All who are interested
send me the following informa
tion :
1. Your address.

county ofieials to continue The
AA’inder News as the ofieial organ
of the county, consumed part of
Monday and Tuesday’s court.
The News had carried the legal
advertisments for the past four
.years, and the county ofieials gave
notice during Dec. ISMS, that the
legal advertising would he given
to The Barpw Times for the years
1919 and 1920. feeling that both
papers were entitled to share the
honors of being, an ofieial organ.
In other words it was a courteous
recognition of two good papers.
Judge (’obb directed a verdict
in favor of the county ofieials,
making it clear to every one in his
interpretation of the law, that the
action of the ofieials was legal
and that The Barow Times was en
titled to become the legal organ.
The Barrow Times is, therefore,
the ofieial organ of Barroiv eoun

IMPRESSIVE ORDINATION
Services Sunday Morning at the

One of the most impressive serv
ices ever held at the Christian
Church of Winder was that of last
Sunday morning, when Rev. R. E.
Moss, the minister of the church,
ordained the recently elected of
ficers in the presence of a large
audience. After reading and
briefly explaining the third chap
ter of Paul’s first epistle to Timo
thy as to the scriptural qualifica
tions and duties of elders and
deacons, the minister called to the
pulpit Messrs. J. M. Jackson, S.
P. Smith, L. M. Mayne and Claud
Mayne, the elders of the church,
to assist him. He then directed
Messrs. A. G. Lamar and J. A.
DeLay to stand side by side just
in front of the pulpit, while
Messrs. A. A. Thomas, W. L.
Mayne, 11. E. Ilaynie and I. E.
Jackson were in like manner di
rected; thus in a sacred circle
surrounding the edge of the pul
pit the first two were ordained as
elders and the last four as dea
cons. The ordination ceremony
was simple but solemn and im
pressive, as the minister, with J.
M. Jackson assisting, placed his
hands upon the heads of Messrs.
Lamar and DeLay and pronounc
ed the words setting them apart
as elders of the church. Then
having the four elders upon the
pulpit to place their hands upon
the four deacons-eleet, the minis
ter ordained them likewise. The
entire congregation stood during
the ceremony which concluded by
all solemnly repeating in unison
the “good confession,” that
“Jesus is the Christ the Son of the
living God,” the creed of the
church . During the invitation
song, just before the benediction,
young J. A. Ilaynie, the son of
H. E. Ilaynie, came forward to
confess his faith in Christ as his
Savior.
