in Indiana on business while on

I time.

season and we appreciate the very,
liberal patronage of our business

All successful men realize the
value of advertising and that it i*
essential to the growth and pros
perity of any business.
The Times goes into about 800
homes in Barrow County, besides
those just hording it. This makes
The Times a splendid medium
through which to reach the people
and one which should appeal to
the business judgement of busi
ness men.

A HARD THANKLESS JOB
The city tax assessors have fin
ished their work for 1919. Being
a city tax assessor is about as hard
and thankless a job as any man
ever undertook w hen he is dispos
ed to discharge his duty to the
city lot the chips fall where they
may.
The assessors spent thirty hours
last week placing values upon the
taxable property of Winder. No
tices were given to all who were
raised. Considerable talk was in
dulged in by those who thought,
their values excessive. When it
was learned that the assessors had
done a reasonably good job in
equalizing values and that the
city was either to increase the
rate or valuations in order to pay
off thirteen thousand dollars Moat
ing indebtedness, and meet the in
creased teachers salaries and city
expenses generally, the criticisms
practically all ceased. When the
day selected to hear complaints
arrived, less than Mfty out of
some six or seven hundred tax
payers, appeared Wednesday be
fore the assessors to ask for re
do ction. Most of these who ap
peared mostly wanted to see if
his neighbor had been raised
along with him.
The city officials are acting
very wisely in clearing up all
floating indebtedness which has.
been handed down to every ad
ministration for some ten or
twelve years.

A VISIT TO “THE HERMI
TAGE" THE HOME OF
“OLD HICKORY.’’
By Rev. R. E. Moss.
A visit to “The Hermitage,"
the classic home of President An
drew Jackson, is always worth
while. A jobless, dustless, drive
over a smooth shady road for
twelve miles out of Nashville,
Teim., brings one to the large
open gate through which the visi
tor enters into the unique drive
way. an avenue of tall cedars,
leading to the well-kept grass
lawn immediately in front of the
house. Classic grecian columns
support the high roof of the spac
ious porch of the colonal mansion.
The hack porch is quite similar,
and is as classic and majeetie as
the front. Enter the hospitable
door and the eye is at once struck
with the artistic stairway and the
novel wall paper on each side of
the large hall. hTe stairway is as
airy as a dream. The wall paper
has been well preserved for years,
as it was imported from Paris,
France in the year of 1835. It pic
tures the story and experiences of
Ulysses, the celebrated hero of the
Trojan war, and especially that
episode of Bis captivity on Coly
pso’s island, where he was enter
tained for months hv that beauti
ful siren, daughter of Atlas, while
his faithful princess, Penelope
awaited at home his long return.
A visit to the parlor, a glance
at the old time small piano and
pictures, a peep into the library
at the old-fashioned hook eases
and centre table, a glimpse at the
old four-poster beds with elegant
canopies, a walk through the din
ing room, a lingering look at cur
ious and papers and manuscripts
of the great man who lived and
still seemed t<> live there, a trip
to the carriage house and a natur
al wish to sit in the old almost
worn-out carriage that took its
master over roads and highways
in the long-ago, thirties from
Nashville to Washington, a re
freshing drink from the cool bub
bling spring just as it was in his
lifetime, a walk through the large
flower garden to his simple domed
tomb, these are some of the exper.
ienees not soon forgotten by the
visitor.
The grounds, the gardens, the
tomb, the woodland, the classic
mansion, are all kept by the ladies
of the Hermitage Association, a
noble hand of women.
