THE BARROW TIMES
A MODERN HOTEL FOR
WINDuR BEING PLANNED
Col. S. G. Brown, of Lawrenee
ville, who has an office here and
feels that he is partially identi
fied with the interest of our city,
is organizing the business forces
of Winder for the purpose of
building a $50,000.00 hotel that
will be modern in every particu
lar and meet the pressing de
mands of our growing city.
Last Friday lie received eight
subscriptions of $1,000.00 each
from some of our progressive cit
izens and also three subscriptions
of $500.00 each.
This was a fine start and shows
that our people realize the impor
tance of this enterprise, are anx
ious to have a modern hotel and
are ready to take stock.
This is one of the most impor
tant moves that can be made just
at tlifts time and one that should
interest every citizen.
It is one of Winder’s needs that
must succeed, because it is so very
essential, and because the travel
ing public demand it and the de
mand cannot longer be ignored.
Every man who is able to do
so should subscribe SI,OOO, every
one who is in a condition to take
SSOO in this hotel undertaking
should respond and those who are
only able to take S2OO and SIOO
stock should feel equally the ob
ligation and help his city.
This is a test of Winder’s pub
lic spirit and of its ambition to do
things when the time arrives to
do things. Let every man feel
that he has a part in tins under
taking and that if he is financially
able to help, and fails to do so,is
failing in his duty to Winder and
impeding its growth and progress.
WITH THE GAINESVILLE
MIDLAND.
Mr. Erastus Smith has accept
ed a position with Mr. H. E. Ed
wards at the GainesvilleVdidland
depot and began his work Friday.
All the young men so far who
have come home from France
have been able to get good posi
tions and are at work.
PUT ON A COAT OF PAINT.
It would greatly help tlie looks
of Winder if every one owning a
home would put on a fresh coat
of paint.
It gives a town or city a fresh
ness that adds much to the appear
a nee of tilings. Hive your home a
new painting so as to he in keep
ing with spring.
MR. A. C. JACKSON OF WAT
KINSVILLE DIED
TUESDAY.
Mr. A. Campbell Jackson, one
of the prominent citizens of Oco
nee county, died at his home in
Watkinsville Tuesday night.
His has been one of the old and
leading families of that county
for nearly a century. He is close
ly related to all of tlie same fami
ly of Winder.
He and the Times editor grew
up together as boys and a strong
friendship had ever existed be
tween them, and it is therefore,
peculiarly sad to write this news.
May his soul rest in peace and be
gently wafted to a brighter home
beyond where it will be freed
from the strifes, . turmoiles and
worries of this world.
Messrs. C. W. Parker, W. E.
Cooper and Misses Vera Parks
and (trace House attended divine
service at Canon, Franklin coun
ty, Ha., last Sunday.
Airs. J. W. Carrington, Jr., has
returned to Atlanta for several
weeks.
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY
WINDER, BARROW COUNTY, GA„ THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1919
SOME OF WINDER’S NEEDS
FOR THE YEAR OF 1919
LET US ALL PULL TOGETHER AND HELP BRING ABOUT
THESE THINGS WE NEED AND OUGHT TO HAVE
BEFORE THE YEAR CLOSES.
Winder needs anew modern ho
tel to accomodate the traveling
public, that will tempt the tour
ists, salesmen and others to stop
over here and as an advertisement
of our city. A modern hotel will
do this.
Winder needs one or more a
partment houses, several more up
to-date business houses and one
hundred or more residences to
supply the demand for homes.
Winder needs more people,
more enterprises to give employ
ment, more live wires, more boos
ters, more concert of action, more
men who look ahead and more
men of money who are not afraid
of big undertakings.
Winder needs a general paint
ing up and beautifying of her
homes and surroundings. A little
painting and primping wonder
fully changes the looks of a wo
man and does the same for a home
and a city. A city beautiful
should be the motto of every
one.
Winder needs most of its busi
ness streets paved and all of its
sidewalks of importance, a few
crooks taken out of some of the
streets and some of them wfiknwwfc -
No progressive citizen will object
to this.
LARGE RAISERS OF
BLOODED CATTLE
Alessrs. G. W. and J. AY. Alill
saps shipped a large herd each of
blooded cattle this week to At
lanta where they were sold at au
tion at the Hereford Association.
There were fine blooded cattle
there from all over the state and
buyers from all over the west and
the Pacific states.
They sold forty head of their
two herds to the Virginia Ranches
in this auction sale.
Air. G. S. Alillsaps had one of
the finest Hereford bulls that was
on exhibit, weighing 1600 pounds.
These two brothers have always
been pioneers in bringing blood
ed herds of cattle to Barrow conn
ty and thereby encouraging oth
ers to do so.
A STRONG INSURANCE
AGENCY.
The Insurance Agency of F. AY
Bondurant & Cos., lias recently
changed hands and is now owned
and controlled by Airs. F. AA\
Bondurant, but the name of the
agency remains as heretofore, F.
AY Bondurant & Cos.
This is one of tiie old and strong
Insurance agencies of AVinder
that lias grown with the city, as
it was established fifteen or more
years ago and does a large and in
creasing business every year.
Under the new management
there is no reason why it should
not continue to grow and enlarge.
Aliss Rose Dillard was in At
anta Monday on business.
BARROW COUNTY UNION
CHOIR.
Choir meets at old Pentecost
church on the 3rd Sunday after
noon ; next Sunday.
A special invitation is extended
to every one who can attend, to
he present and help to make the
meeting a successful one.
11. N. SELLERS, Pres.
Air. I). E. Lanier and daughter,
of Ophelia, Ala., are the guests of
Air. and Airs. John AY. Shields.
Winder needs a large cultiva
ion by its citizens of intelligent
thought, encouragement of litera
ture. and those accomplishments
which mean so much for the well
being of a city and its reputation,
abroad.
Winder needs more progressive
spirits and fewer croakers and
kickers, needs more men of vision,
who see for us a brigh future of
commercial, indusrial, and inte
lectual growth, instead of men
who view everything through
stained glasses.
Winder needs higher and lof
tier ideals on all lines of endeavor
and the encouragement of all the
accomplishments necessary for a
better, purer and nobler civiliza
tion.
Winder needs every day and all
the time the full and unreserved
confidence and co-operation of all
its citizens to bring to fruition
what we need and what we must
have if we expect to continue
growing and measure up to our
duty and our responsibilities.
You need to clip this and keep
on your desk or at your home to
glance over oeeassionally. It will
'do you no harm and we trust will
be helpful when inclined to kick
and pull back.
BIG 'iETORY LOAN
■ ' CAMPAIGN ON
A letter to committe and workers:
On account of illness in his fam- i
ily our efficient chairman in pre
vious Loan Campaigns, Air. W. L.
Jackson, was unable to lead us
this time and the task has fallen
to me. 11 was too late to under
take a reorganization of commit
teemen and workers when I was
called, so I have adopted the same
organization used so successful
ly by Air. Jackson and 1 appeal to
each of you to he ready to go over
the top and do valiant service ev
en as formerly. The Fifth of Vic
tory Loan is the last to be offered
by the government; the notes run
for four years and bear 4% per
cent interest not subject to nor
mal tax, in both particular* the
best Loan yet offered. Our peo
ple should sieze their opportunity
to invest in the world’s best secur
ity bearing such a fine rate of in
terest, our workers should find
the Bonds easy to sell.
I have called a meeting of com
mitteemen and workers for Fri
day afternoon at 5:00 o’clock and
earnestly urge every one to be
present, that we may confer and
prepare to do this important work
for our government, which means
for ourselves. We have fought
the fight, we have won the victo
ry: Peace is in sight, let us pay
the debt.
Let our slogan be—buy a Bond,
sell another—till our quota is
sold.
Yours for the Victory Loan,
W. 11. QUARTERAIAN,
County Chairman.

and bis song books are in demand

Aliss Bulali is the daughter of

our city, and is one of our best
and most charming young girls,
so many of whom we have away
from home now at the different
colleges.
We feel sure that all of her
many friends here will be de
lighted to learn of this high com
pliment and of her rapid rise at
Shorter.
