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.
