try and that the world will soon
be at peace and our country help
ed to bring it about.
BUILD MORE HOMES.
Rents have advanced until they
will pay a reasonable interest on
the investment of renting proper
ty and if our citizens who have
surplus money and who also have
vacant lots would build more
houses ,they would not only help
themselves, but would benefit
others who are not able to own
their own homes. They would also
add much to the growth and mat
erial progress of Winder.
HAROLD HERRIN BACK.
Mr. Harold Herrin, one of our
clever and splendid young men, is
at home again from France.
We are all proud to see Harold
and rejoice with his father and
mother.
Mr. and Airs. Herrin gave two

county’s clevar citizens and good
farmers was in Winder last week

before.

TRAINING SCHOOL BOYS
HAVING GOOD TIME.
In a message from our young
friend, Mr. John McCants, we are
glad to know that he and Messrs.
Jack Miilikin and Blake Smith
with all of the many boys in train
ing at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Y'a.,
are having a good time.
They are worked hard, having
to attend lectures two hours daily,
and drilling six hours every day,
but they are given the best enter
tainments and given trips to Rich
mond, and other points.
They have dances and the
young ladies from Petersburg
come out and as a consequence the
days fly rapidly.
One of the sad events at the
camp since their arrival was a fire
in which five of the firemen in an
automobile were turning a corner
hurridly and the car turned over
killing all five of them.
100 NEW HOMES.
If 100 new homes or residences
were erected this year in Winder
all of them would he occupied for
another year.
What would this do for Win
der? It would add at least 500
more population, help to increase
every line of trade, give us more
good citizens, and infuse new life
in all enterprises.
Our present condition is deplor
able from the fact, that so many
families desire to move here and
there are no vacant houses.

J. B. MAYO, OF WINDER, DO
ING A GREAT WORK.
Mr. J. B. Mayo, salesman for
this territory for the C it Lighting
Plant, is doing a great work, be
cause he is giving to farmers a
light, giving them the same advan
tages that city people get from
electric lights.
This Colt Light System enables
every farmer to light his farm and
premises at a very small expense
and most of them are taking ad
vantage of this opportunity. This
is no humbug to deceive the peo
ple, but is a blessing, and we are
glad to know Mr. Mayo is so suc
cessful in installing these plants
over Harrow, Gwinnett and other
counties of this section.

pitchers, and Pirkle playing short

Pendergrass plays Barrow mills
on Barrow mills field July 4th.
Everybody come. Ground on mill

51.50 IN ADVANCE
LEGISLATURE GRINDING
OUT NEW BILLS
The Georgia Legislative is get
ting down to business and is sett
ing a precedent future lesrisla
tures in the speed with which the
business of the state is being
transacted. A large number of im
portant measures has been intro
duced, some of them of almost a
revolutionary character. These in
clude bills on Woman’s Suffrage,
Capitol Removal, a Budget System
of fixing the financial needs of the
Stake’s institutions and for oper
atino of the State Departments,
the new Tax Bill, Rural High-
Schools. and numerous others mat
ters.
Among the measures introduced
in the house was a bill by Judge
G. A. Johns, our representative,
making it a felony punishable by
a sentence in the penitentiary for
any one to haul or assist in any
way in hauling whiskey or brandy
present law makes it a misdemea
nor for any one to haul any
amount and that law remains in
effect on an amount of one gallon
or less and the new law proposed
by Judge Johns is designed to in
flict a straight sentence on those
who haul whiskey, in such an
amount as to invicate an intention
to sell or to furnish for sale. This
is a needed measure to stop the
practice of hauling now indulged
in by those who do not mind pay
ing a fine, but who will shy at a
sentence to the chaingang.
Another measure introduced by
our representative was to make it
a misdemeanor for any one to be
guilty of eaves dropping. A case
of this kind occurred in Winder
recently and it was found that the
law did not furnish a remedy and
this bill is to cure that lapse in the
law.
HIGH LAND AND GOING
HIGHEB.
Mr. and Mrs. W. .J. Bennett at
tended the all-day singing at Beth
el church, over in Walton County
last Sunday. Mr. Bennett reports
a large crowd, fine singing and a
day of much pleasure to all pres
ent.
lie also informed us that a tract
of land near the church containing
60 acres was recently purchased
by Mr. Lura Garrett, of that coun
ty, at $400.00 per acre and another
tract near there of 260 sold for
$l5O per acre.
This is high land, but it looks
now as if it would continue to go
higher.
WRECKLESS DRIVING OF AU
TOMOBILES SHOULD BE
STOPPED.
The wreckless driving of auto
mobiles in Winder should be look
ed after closely and a stop put to
it if possible.
Many drivers at public cross
ings never slacken their speed and
the wonder is, that there are not
several grown persons and many
children run over every week.
ROCKWELL CHURCH.
Mrs. J. W. Rowlett will fill her
appointment at Rockwell church
Sunday morning, July 6th, at
which time the Committee expect
to announce this church “Over
The Top” with their quota in the
