VOU Ml-: I. MJ, <• BUILD MORE HOUSES IN WINDER _ _ 1 It - a few men in Winder who are financially able to do so would build a few dwellings each, t<> ac commodate those needing homes by .January Ist next, they would |>e benefactors. It is true that material is high anil it costs considerably more t<> build a house .than it did a lew years ago, rents have also advanc ed two and three times as much as they were a few years ago The man of capital and the man who has prospered owes this much to Ihe public and at this time will help to build his city and at the -same time being of incalculable service to those who are not able to own homes of their own and can find no vacant place to get lor another year. While helping others by doing this, it is a business proposition that will pay a fair per cent on the investment, and not charity work by any means. The Times would like to see some of our broad and liberal busi ness men oateb the vision and do this much to help enlarge Winder end accommodate those who need Phonies another year or will be forced to leave.

THE BARROW TIMES LAUNDRY GREATLY NEEDED IN' WINDER I There is nothing for the general public of Winder that is more needed than a laundry. This matter has been agitated some by both papers in the past, and also by some of our business men. The negro women of the city, who wash for the public are be coming fewer all the time and more autocratic in their demands, in fact you are at their mercy, and they charge exorbitant prices and you are helpless. Host of them have to be bogged and plead with to take your wash ing at any price. There is only one way by which this can be overcome, and that is to have a laundry in which most of our people have a little stock and stand by it and patronize it. It does seem that most every family would take a few shares at per share in an enterprize they all so urgently feel the need of with 1 lie present conditions con fronting < hem. If some of our wide-awake busi ness men would get together and appeal to all the people to join in this move there would he no trou ble to accomplish this greatly needed enterprise for Winder.
