VOLUME 1, NO. . A SANITARIUM FOR WINDER To tbe Citizens of 1 Jar row County: •’ All thoughtful men and women must realize that we need a sani tarium here. Two of our young men are now recovering from nar now escapes from death. A few hours of delay and the surgeon would have arrived too late. It is the safer and more expe dient plan to bring the surgeon to the patient than to carry the pa tient to the surgeon, and the sur geon should he srrounded by ev en’ hnowu convenience when hu man life, is at stake. Winder has two million-dollar hanks, is inhabited by wealthy and prosperous citizens whose hank deposits run into the mil lions. What is a paltry Thirty T 1 on.saiut Dollars, comparatively spending, when its investment in such an institution will relieve the sufferings of rich and poor, and propab'y save lives that will other wise he lost ? The poor cannot pay high-pric ed surgeons, expensive nurse hire and hospital hills of the larger cities, and the larger cities must first look after their own. It is the rule. Must the poor in our midst suffer and die for the want of proper surgical or medical skill .’ T liave seen the accounts on most of the hooks of the practicing: phy sicians. There are no men ou earth who do more for charity’s sake ilnu the practicing physicians of Winder, but on more than one oe opsi. a have their hearts been made ex.remoiy sad for the want of pro per surroundings and a surgeon’s knife. These physicians inform me that they will take stock and perman ently maintain a hospital at Win der. provided sufficient interest can he aroused among the citizens of this territory to organize a stock company and establish the institution. I believe a sanitarium would prove a paying investment, as well as supply one of Barrow county’s urgent needs. Some ladies have re quested that I take the initiative in the matter, and 1 have been as sured of liberal subscriptions by a number of leading citizens. ' Therefore, I have drawn the caption to a subscription list for the purpose of organizing a sani tarium or hospital corporation, the name of the institution and the Board of Directors to he se lected by the stockholders at their first meeting. Think it over, and if i fail to see you in person, let me hear from you. Should my efforts prove succes sful in raising stock, the names of the subscribers and the amount of stock subscribed by them will be published from time to time in the Winder papers. Respect fully, r;. D. ROSS. A BAZAAR PLANNED. The Ladies Aid Society of the Christian Church, are planning to hold a Bazaar on December 11, and they are asking the co-opera tion of their friends in making this affair a great success. For several years they have held a parcel post sale at this season of the year, and they have proved both pleasant and profitable. But they decided to change the plan a little this year. We are sure the plople will be on the lookout for this bazaar, for it will he a fine opportunity to secure dainty, use ful and appropriate hand-made gifts for the Christmas season.

THE EXHIBIT OF COLT LIGHTS AT NORTH GA. FAIR. My demonstration of Colt Light ing System at the North <la. Fair, was a success, there was a number of people that came around and several purchasers.

Thanking one, and all for your boosting remarks, and shall say that. 1 am enjoying a good busi ness. The convenience, and safety of fire, is well worth installing a Colt Light in your home.
