Higgins, of Auburn, Is to be congratulated on the fact that all four churches of his pas torate, went over the top in the $75,000,000 drive of the Baptist, and one of them gave three times more than its apportionment. one of the institutions of which Winder is justly proud. It might be interesting to know that this corporation is now turning out around two and a half million dollar's worth of goods annually, and that from seven to ten thou sand dollars outside money Ls coming into Winder daily from this concern's operations, all of which more or less Ls helping to build Winder. The Bell people recently pur chased a tract of land from Mr. B. I>. Jackson ou West Broad Qt., where they are building some mo dern dwellings for the operators. We understand from the people who are behind the organization that they contemplate building houses enough on this property later ou to accommodate all its employees. re Co3uc r / : # I \mm There are many ways in which a good, strong Bank may be of value to you.
