CAPT. PAUL BROOKSHER
REACHED HOME SATURDAY
One of the happy soldiers reach
ing home from overseas laet Sat
urday was Capt. Paul F. Brook
sher.
One of the path ~ic incidents
connected with his soldier life was
the birth of his only child during
his absence in a foreign land, serv
ing his country, and deprived tlie
pleasure of being with Ids devoted
young wife and this dear little
boy for so many months.
Fate was kind to him, however,
and he got back all o. k. and join
ed them safe-and sound, awaiting
the long looked-for reunion of
father, mother and little Paul, Jr.,
who is now ten months old.
™apt. Brookshor will resume
business in Winder and make this
his permanent home. He felt
good over the warm welcome giv
en him here by his many friends.
TO ERECT A HANDSOME
BUILDING.
Flanigan & Flanigan, the enter
prising firm that sells pianos and
organs all over Georgia, will erect
during the present year one of the
most handsome and modern build
ings in the city for their new bus
iness home. Tf a few more firms
will do this, Winder will have a
regular building boom.
THROUGH CHOPPING
COTTON.
Air. AV. B. Patrick, one of the
large farmers of Ben Smith’s dis
rict. was in Winder yesterday.
He informed The Times that he
had finished chopping cotton and
had plowed most of it the second
time.
Mr. Patrick is a hustler and a
practical farmer. He believes in
pushing cotton and as soon as it
I , up he goes to chopping it out
ready for the plow. He does not
wait on the moon or put off until
another week before beginning,
but goes right at it and stays at
it to the finish Air. Patrick says
he never stops off on Saturdays
for rest or pleasure until this job
is completed.
He now has his cotton in tip-top
condition and if we should have a
rainy May he is master of the sit
uation, while those who put off
will have to contend with the
grass and labor shortage.
IMPORTANT SALE.
I have some horses, mules, cows
shoats, buggy pole and double bar
ness for sale at a bargain.
If you wish any of these now
is your opportunity. See me at
the old Jackson-Hutchins home
pjace between Winder and Carl.

THE BARROW TIMES
BARROW COUNTY DRUG
STORE CHANGES HANDS
One of the big business deals
for Winder this week is the sale
of the Barrow County Drug Store
owned by Dr. A. W. Martin, and
brother, to Drs. Hodges, Almond,
Saxon, Quillian and Ross, five of
our prominent physicians.
On account of so many new
laws and rulings on drugs, the
keeping of different records of
drugs dispensed, birth and date
records and communicable diseas
es and the importance of filling
prescriptions, these live and pro
gressive physicians above men
tioned were almost forced to form
a drug business for their own ben
efit and convenience and for that
of the general public under pres
ent conditions and for the reasons
above given they felt it a necessi
ty. By doing this they are enable
ed to employ an efficient pharma
cist for filling all their prescrip
tions, and they will run an up-to
date drug store keeping every
thing in this particular line and
guarantee prompt and efficient
service in every department.
This is an advanced step for
Winder that will mean more than
we now realize and shows the
progressive spirit of our physi
cians.
The same popular building, cor
ner of Broad and Candler streets
where the Barrow County Drug
Cos. has been for so long will still
be the home of the new firm and
they will take immediate control.
Many improvements will he
made and it will rank with the
leading drug stores of the larger
cities.
LITTLE ROBERT OLIN
CARTER DIES.
On April 21st, little Robert Olin
Carter was laid to rest in the cem
etery at Appalachee church. He
was about six months old, the in
fant son of Air. and Mrs. R. L. Car
tre. The funeral service was con
ducted by Rev. J. B, Brookshire,
of Auburn. The father and moth
er have our deepest sympathy,

PRESIDENT WILSON EX
PRESSES INTEREST IN
METHODIST DRIVE.
President Wilson, even amid
the stress and rush of events of to
day in Paris, lias found time to
send a cablegram to Dr. W. B.
Beauchamp, director general of
the Missionary Centenary of the
Methodist Church, South, wishing
success for the campaign to raise
$35,000,000 which that movement
is to conduct.
Copy of this cablegram was re
ceived in Atlanta on Monday
morning . It It was addressed to
Dr. Beauchamp at Nashville, Tenn
headquarters for the south for the
centenary.
“I am deeply interested to
learn of the effort you are about
to make to secure the needed mon
ey for the expansion of the work
of the Methodist church, and wish
to extend my most cordial good
wishes to the success of the effort,’
says the cablegram.
The money obtained in this
campaign is to he expended in im
provement of the existing church
es, in the erection of the badly
needed new ones, in increase of
salaries to the underpaid pastors,
in missionary and welfare work
at home and abroad and in many
other ways.
With $2,000,000 worth of cotton
held in Barow county, why should
we balk at taking $200,000 of Vic
tory Bonds?

REVIVAL SERVICES AT
BAPTIST CHURCH GROW
IN INTEREST
The revival services at the Bap
tist church, which began last week
are growing in interest and large
audiences attend all the meetings.
Rev. J. AV. Ham, who is assist
ing Rev. AV. 11. Faust, the pastor,
and is doing the preaching, and is
a forceful speaker and commands
the close attention of the people
every morning and evening.
Quite a number have already
been added to the church through
the strong appeals of this noted
divine, and in all probability the
services will continue through
next week.
Rev. J. AAV Ham has made many
friends here during the ten days
he has been among us and it is
hoped by every one that hiswork
in AVinder will result in much
good for the moral uplift of the
city and for the spiritual growth
of all its citizens.
MRS. CALLIE MILLSAPS IN
FEEBLE HEALTH.
The many friends of Alts. Bai
lie Millsaps will learn with much
regret and sorrow of the very fee
ble condition of this splendid old
lady.
She is now 73 years old and
has always been a very stout and
active woman up to a few years
ago. Her condition for the past
two weeks has caused much tineas
iness to her children and her large
number of relatives and friends.
Times is glad to state that
she is thought to be better this
week and hope is entertained
that she may he restored to her
usual health again.
SERMON TO MEN.
The sermon last Sunday at the
First Baptist church by Dr. Ham,
to men only, was largely attended
and a full house heard this able
divine. It was worth hearing by
every man, young and old. and the
earnest effort put forth by Dr.
Ham in picturing the evils that re
sult in the downfall of so many
men, made a lasting impresion on
all who heard him.
POISONED CANDY SENT TO
CHILD THROUGH MAILS.
Rewards totaling $3,000 have
been offered by citizens of Carlton
and Comer, two small towns on
the Seaboard Air Line, about
twenty miles from Athens, for
proof to convict the persons who
sent poisoned candy through the
mails from Comer to George Da
vid, Jr., five-year-old son of Airs.
George David, a widow, of Carl
ton. The incident has greatly
stirred the people of both cornmun
ities.
ON A VISIT HERE FROM
CHICAGO.
Mr. Ford Mashburn, of Chicago
is spending a ten day vacation in
Winder with his father and moth
er, Rev. and Mrs. Jno. H. Mash
burn.
He has been a citizen of Chica
go for more than eight years, oc
cupying the responsible position
of auditor for the lilackstock ho
tel the largest hotel in that great
city.
If 150 subscribers take $90,000
of Victory Bonds, how much
should the other 16000 people in
Barrow county take?
Arrange to buy a bond as you
would to buy a mule, or an auto
mobile.
BARROW COUNTY COT
TON MILL RECEIVES
LARGE ORDER
The demand for cotton goods
is getting better and trade condi
tions are much brighter.
Last week the Barrow County
Cotton AI ills sold 226 bales of this
products which amounts to over
226,000 yards.
This mill is a big asset to AA’iti
der and Barrow county, giving em
ployment to a large number of
people, with a payroll which adds
greatly to the prosperity of this
section.
Industrial plants are the life of
a community and should always
be encouraged by wide awake cit
izens.
If AVinder had twice the num
ber of manufacturing plants she
n<>\\ has we would have a third
more population than at present
and a proportionate increase in
our volume of business. Build
more plants.
CAPT. LESTER W. MATHEWS
HAS LANDED IN NEW
YORK.
It will be good news to the
hosts of friends of < ’apt. Lester W.
Mathews to learn that he has
reached New "\ ork from France
and will be home again in a short
while, lie went over about ten
months ago, but has been in ser
vice for more han three years, Inn
ing been stationed for quite a
while on the Mexican border be
fore going overseas.
lie will resume his mediegj pro
fession in Winder on his return,
having built up a lucrative prac
tice before entering the United
Sates army.
He married a charming young
lady, Miss Nellie Lou Hamby, just
before crossing the Atlantic and
she is anxiously awaiting his re
turn and the hours and days seem
long to her.
TO CORRECT AN ERROR.
Editor Barrow Times.
AN'ill you lie kind enough to pub
lisli in your paper my protest of a
news item in last week’s AVinder
News, in which 1 was mentioned
as one of the parties hound over
hv the courts for stealing a ham
of meat from Mr. Sharpton. The
item, even though an error, does
me quite an injustice, an editors
as well as all other people should
lie careful in using the names of
innocent people in things that are
slanderous.
WASH MARLOW.
LAND RENTING FOR $l2O
ACRE AND SELLING FOR
$900.00 PER ACRE.
We talk about SIOO acre land
in Barow county but this is a
small sum compared to other sec
tions.
Rev, R. W. Wallace, of Valdos
ta, who stopped over in Winder
a couple of days la.st week on his
return borne from Lexington, Kv.,
visited bis sister and aunt out in
that beautiful blue grass region
around Lexington for a few days.
That is the country noted for
beautiful women, blooded horses
and fine cattle, but this is not all
the things which make it famous.
It is a great tobacco section and
be says the people were never so
prosperous as now and that while
there a farm was sold for S9OO
per acre. If you intend buying a
farm you had better get busy be
fore Georgia lands reach that
price.
Express your gratitude for
peace by buying a Victory Bond.
51.50 IN ADVANCE
ATHENS DENTIST IS DE
NIED BAIL
l)r. Miixie T Summerlin, Athens
dentist, who was jointly indicted
with I)?'. \Y. (}. Waters in connec
tion with the recent death of Miss
Viola Par, prominent young Ath
ens woman, was this morning de
nied hail by Judge Andrew J.
(’obb in the superior court. The
trial of the accused men has been
set for May 15.
HOW ABOUT THIS FOR
MOSQUITOES.
In a letter to his father this
week from Savannah, Ed Morris
says it is getting sure enough hot
down there, with mosquitoes so
thick il is impossible to count
them.
Ikl must have been rather home
sick and was dreaming of AA'inder
with its climate unsurpassed,
where mosquitoes are a rarefy,
gnats unknown, where the sum
mers are ever mild and you can
always sleep under a sheet. He
has only been in Savannah a few
months and if he remains there all
the summer he will have greater
tales than the following:
’!e writes his father that lie is
o. k.. and drawing $9O per month
and paying out $4O of it for board,
and that mosquitoes, are so plenti
ful he got under a wash pot the
other night with a hammer and as
the mosquitoes would stick their
bills thru the pot he would brad
them, lie soon In-added so many
the darn things flew off with the
pot and lie was left unprotected.
Come back to Winder Ed, and
stop being so cruel to those Sa
vannah pests.
GREAT CROWD AND GREAT
DAY FOR WINDER.
The largest crowd of people ev
er seen in Winder, gathered here
last Thursday for the big bond ral
ly, and to see the war tank and
hear the patriotic talks.
It was a great day for Winder
and Harrow county and Col. Quar
terman deserves much praise for
working up an enthusiasm for the
occasion and getting his forces
thoroughly organized for this im
portant drive.
Mr. John A. Thompson was the
first man to lead off, taking $lO,-
000 in Victory Bonds. Harrow
county up to date has subscribed
about $lOO,OOO and if our people
will all help the entire quota will
be taken before the drive closes.
A GREAT MUSIC LEADER.
Rev. W. 11. Faust was fortunate
in securing Prof. A. A. Lyonn as
singer for his great revival. He
has few equals as leader of music
and added much to the success of
this big meeting of two weeks.
The Haptist church and all the
other churches have been blessed
and the preacher, for the occasion,
the leader of the music and the
pastor should all feel good over
the results.
A GREAT LABOR SAVER FOR
BARROW COUNTY.
Judge Hill has bought a Holt
Catterpillar Tractor for plough
ing and scraping the roads of Bar
row county.
This will be a great labor saver
and dispense with the expense of
keeping so many mules.
This tractor does the work of
about twenty mules, with one
half the hands required when us
ing mules, and works ten miles of
roads a day.
Judge Hill has acted wisely in
purchasing one for Barrow coun
ty and we feel sure it will meet
the approval of our citizens.
