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. R. P. CHEEK. Only 150 spbscriptions to Vic tory Bonds—does that count tlie patriotic citizens of Barrow Cos.? r Scan the Honor roll and if your name is not on it see that it is on next week’s list. 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, thy. 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.
