WINDER S POSSIBILITIES.
0
The possibilities of Winder are great if our people x\ i ll but real
ize them and put forth some effort to grasp them while the opportun
ity is offered.
None of the possibilities, however, can become real if those who
are able and qualified to inaugurate and bring them to a successful ter
ruination pull hack, depend on others or fail to co-operate and work
for the common good. •
Some men will put forth no effort and give no encouragement to
enterprises for the growth of a town unless they are placed at the
head of these enterprises. Some men will oppose every move to de
velope their tow n unless they can view it from selfish motives and be
come convinced it will he big money in their own pockets. Some men
have no public spirit, no vision, and care little for the best interest of
their town. Some men study and plan only to make money for them
selves and would not move out of their shadows to help build their
town and see others prosper. Some men let little petty prejudices,
narrow hatreds, envy and jealousy control them and thereby destroy
their usefulness and impede the growth and progress of their town
and section.
We trust there are no characters of this kind in Winder for such
men are a curse to any town and do monstrous little for a community
and for the betterment of humanity, morally, mentally, financially or
any other way.
Winder has dime much during the past twenty years to make us
all feel proud,hut anew era confronts us now, and if we fail to catch
the spirit of progress and take advantage of the prosperous times be
fore us, we will have failed in our duty and obligations to Winder
and Harrow county.
There is yet much to he done and can he done that will largely
increase our population if we will become enthused and work togeth
er in harmony. This is a duty every man ow es to himself, to his fam
ily and to Winder. If you have the capital, if you wish bigger things
for Winder show your faith by your works and do something to make
it bigger. The time lias come for united action along this line and let
our people get together and do things.
The Times is writing tliis with the sole purpose in mind of help
ing all of us to eat eh the spirit of the new period of the world’s histo
ry now ushering in, that we may sei/.e the opportunities and not fol
low the procession but lead it. Plan big things and then make them
come true. ..

JUDGE H. G. HILL CALLS AN ELECTION ON BOND ISSUES.
.Judge Hill has called an election for June 14. for a bond issue of
$175,000, one hundred thousand for roads and seventy-five thousand
for building a court house.
As the custodian of the county he show's by his action that he
wishes to set Marrow in line with the other wide awake common
wealths of the sate, with as good roads as any other and a court house
to measure up to the demands of our people.
From talking with the farmers and business men from the differ
ent sections of Marrow county. The Times feels that the sentiment is
practically unanimous among our progressive and enterprising citi
zens for this bond issue and that the action of Judge Mill w ill be over
whelmingly endorsed at the pols.
Up to date every county calling an election for bonds has carried
with scarcely any opposition, and Marrow will not he found lacking
in this important matter.
We all realize the necesity of this bond issue and what it in eons
for the future progress and welfare of all our people, are ready to
bear the little burden imposed and also allow those who come after
us bear a portion of it. knowing they will reap as much or more from
this forward movement.
It is the only way by which we can get good roads and the only way
by which we can get the benefit of the national aid to supplement the
amount we expend for permanent highways.
If Marrow county fails to appropriate for her roads the national
aid offered her. it will go to other counties; we will lose it and he
helping to build better roads for other counties. We cannot get this
aid unless we issue bonds and this tact is so plain that no man who
has the interest of his county at heart will oppose the bond issue w hen
he votes at the coming election.
Every man should go to work and feel that duty demands him to
do all in his power to make the result one which will cause us all to
feel proud of Barrow county.

SNAP SHOTS.
(By Rev. YV. H. Faust.)
Why is it that some men had
rather read the Sunday paper
than go to chureh and worship
< i()(l ?
If the U. S. government were
to charge for mailing out al the
milk and bull that is scattered
iroadcast over the country, the
revenue of the nation would be
infinitely larger.
Labor and capital keep up
their figlit, going, and tbe unfor
tunate thing is that tbe average
citizen lias to be trampled on dur
ing tbe fight by both parties.
If some men were to take their
garden seed to their neighbors in
the package, it would save some
neighbors hens from having to
scratch them up after planted.
It would be superlatively glori
ous if the abundant supply of
food for reflection would cause the
ligli cost of living to come down
to the absolutely normal again.
If Bolshevism could get in tlie
ascendency in America tbe cry of
up with sinners and down with
saints would prevail everywhere.
About the only people nowa
days who can buy Victory Bonds
are the millionairs, day laborers
and cooks, a few washerwomen
also.
The mother who spends most
of her time at the card parties
and social functions may get her
name in the paper, but she will
lave a job to get it in tbe Lamb’s
Book of Life.
The big rich fellows have a hard
job these days. They pay doctors
to keep them out of bed, and law
yers to keep them out of jail.
The sensible man who goes to
Ireland and is unable to kiss the
blarney stone, aways does the
next best thing and kisses one
who did.
These days when schools and
colleges have fairly tinged the air
with wisdom, every woman either
thinks she is pretty or knows she
is.
A girl can go through college
in four years and spend S2OOO and
marry a worthless husband, again
she can spend three months at a
business college and get $125 per
month for doing six hours work
per day. This accounts for the
small number of women in col
lege.
A man can spend six years and
$2400 getting an education to get
a place as teacher for SIOO per
month. 10 can put on a pair of
overalls and go into a garage and
get a salary of $1.25 per hour.
Some folks can’t walk straight
morally because their hearts are
as crooked as a mountain road.
The preacher who follows the
crowds will never have the crowds
follow him. Truth upheld is tri
umphant, but error bolstered con
tinues to totter and fall.
