The Public Schools of Winder
rank with the very best in the
state and we should all feel proud

town or city.

A VALUABLE ADDITION TO
WINDER.
Capt. Miles C. Wiley has been
employed by Winder National
Bank and took up his duties Sep
tember the Ist. He needs no intro
duction as he has visited this town
from time to time since bis father
in-law. Mr. J. M. Brooksher has
lived in Winder and Mr. Brook
sher and Sons*need no introduc
tion.
Capt. Wiley was reared in Che
rokee County and is a graduate of
North Ga. Agricultural College of
Dahlonega. He was teaching at the
Ninth District A. and M. College
at Clarkesville, when he enlisted
in Uncle Sam’s army. He secured
Second Lieutenants place and rap
idly rose to be a Captain, which
proves his character and ability.
His duties with Winder Nation
al Bank will be to look after Farm
Loans, Administrator, Guardian,
Executor of wills and the Savings
Department.
Winder National Bank was re
cently granted th eauthority to
act as Administrator, Guardian
and Executor of estates, which
saves often in the wasting of valu
able estates, looking after the es
tates of widows and orphans and
often the extra expense of having
a second administrator appointed,
caused by death, etc.
Captain Wiley and his family
are welcomed to Winder and we
feel sure that their coming will
add to our town and community.
If you have any business along
the above mentioned line, Capt.
Wiley will take pleasure in serv
ing you.

turned from a pleasant trip
through 1 lie mountains of Georgia
and Tennessee visiting friends and
relal ives.
He reports a delightful time
among the scenes of his boyhood
days.
MOSQUITOES.
Winder needs a little drainage,
a little more cleanliness, a lot of
old cans and buckets full of stag
nant water removed, a little more
regard for health and closer look
ing after Mosquitoes.
We have never found a person
yet who enjoyed the music of
these pests or who wanted a se
cond puncture from one of them.
The Times would like to see our
city fathers make a vigorous and
determined warfare on the Mos
quito forces that have invaded
our city and run the whole bunch
across the pacific ocean.

COL. J. A. PERRY AND
FAMILY MOVE TO

The many friends of Col. and
Mrs. J. A. Perry and family, will
regret to learn of their departure
today for Atlanta, where they wilt
make their future home.
The duties of t’ol. Perry as Rail
road Commissioner compelled him
to be there most of the time, and
on this account he deemed it bet
ter to carry his family there.
The loss of this estimable fam
ily is keenly felt by Winder and
many are the regrets that he
could not make this his permanent
home.
CAR SHORTAGE APPROACH
ING.
“Another shortage of freight
cars is in prospect for the coming
fall and winter. Instead of the
surplus of equipment to be found
on nearly all railroads during the
dull days before the after-the-war
business revival set, in, every
piece of equipment now is in use
on many lines and only the most
careful handling by the railroads
with consistent and whole-hearted
co-operation from the shipping
public can prevent serious inter
ference with business.
Federal Managers have been
called upon by the Railroad Ad
ministration to utilize equipment
to the fullest possible extent, and
particularly to see that ears are
set in motion promptly upon be
ing loaded or unloaded.
Shippers are asked to lend a
hand by reducing detention of
cars to a minimum and by careful
and heavy loading so that the
greatest possible service may be
had from each car. From a pure
ly seifish business standpoint, of
course, it is to Hie interest of me
individual shipper rod reeeiv r*f
froig.it t i do '-'s [.• !’ toward n.in
imizing the effects of a car short
age from which lie will suffer a
