In the big cities the census enu

the greater distances involved and
slower means of tranxporation.
One item to which officials arc

naturalized citizens. The total of
this census is expected to show a
small number of foreign born resi

TWO PAGE AD
•I. L. Saul carries a two-puge ad
of much interest to his customers
ithis week, which was preceded by
j a two page ad a few weeks back.
, •(. L. Saul, like mciNt of Winder
merchants, believes in Printers
Ink, and lets the people know what
he has to offer.
We appreciate the liberal pat
ronage through the year of our
merchants and business men, and
on account of our large and grow
ing subscription list, we feci that
we have given them value receiv
ed.
We trust that all our advertis
ers have had a successful and pros
perous year and that this prosper
ity may continue through 1920.
OUR ADVERTISERS
The Times calls special attention
to our lists of advertisers in this
issue.
We trust our large number of
subscribers in this terriory will
read what these firms have to say
to you.
It is always interesting and in
structive to read advertisements,
as it enables one to know of the
different things that are sold and
where to find these things.
The man who never lets the pub
lic know that he is in business does
1101 deserve the patronage of the
public.
The man or woman who fails to
read the advertisements in his
county paper cannot keep up with
the times and be posted on the
goods that must be bought during
the. year.
He or she will be as much a
back number as the merchant who
fails to advertise.
Do your shopping early and
save the rush.
Christmas will be here before
you know it.
If you have not paid your taxes
you had better wateh out.
Send in a subscription for a
year to The Times for a Christ
mas present to some friend.

MISS MARY RUSSELL EN
TERS THE HOME
ABOVE
The hearts of scores of our peo
ple were made sad when the news
leached here yesterday that the
gentle spirit of Miss Mary Russell
had winged it way to the home
above.
Until this year, when she and
< 01. L. C. Russell moved to Ath
ens Winder had been her home
to- a number of years.
Her gentle and unassuming
manner had made every one here
her friend, and her death brought
universal sorrow to the hearts of
all of us.
She was a lovely character, and
her life was one of noble Christ
tian womanhood that made the
world brighter and cheered many
veary souls.
She will be greatly missed by
hundreds of friends and lovedl
ones, but by no one so greatly as
her devoted brother, Col. L. C,
Russel I. us they had always been
affectionately close to each other,
and The Times feels a peculiar
sympathy for him in this sad hour.
I lei- death occurred in Athena
end she was laid to rest there to
day where many sorrowing hearts
v ere bowed in grief.
