TO THE PUBLIC.
A number of my friends urged
me to anounee for Tax Collector
f > the unexpired term of the
late Judge A. M. Williams, but as
T intend announcing for ..w regu
lar term 1 felt it right to allow
the widow of Judge Williams to
receive the benefit of the office for
the WTfxpired term and not op
pose candidacy of her young
est rffi, Mr. P. AY. Wiliams, who
is ;t candidate.
Resptly.

THE BARROW TIMES
THE WONDERFUL SUC
CESS OF A WINDER
FIRM.
Two Barrow County Young Men
Whose Commercial Career Has
Been Phenominal and Continues
to Grow.
One of the remarkable firms of
Winder that lias continued to
grow and extend its business into
other states is that of Flanigan
& Flanigan.
The two brothers, 11. T. and P.
A. Flanigan, were reared on a
farm a few miles out from Winder
and came here a few years ago to
engage in business. They had little
capital hut plenty of energy and
confidence in themselves, in this
city and surrounding territory.
Their success has been phenomi
nal and pleasing to their friends.
Few brothers have risen more ra
pidly in the business world and ac
complished more in the same leng
th of time.
There is no one firm in Georgia
that sells as many pianos and or
gans as Flanigan & Flanigan.
In addition to this they handle
more sewing machines than any
one house in the south.
The home house which is gener
al headquarters for their immense
business is at Winder and they
also have a large musical house at
Alliens, supplying all that fine ter
ritory.
This firm lias the control of
Barrow County for the Ford Au
tomobile, a big asset to their busi
ness and their sales alone of Fords
and parts amounts to over SIOO,-
000 annually
They have recently opened a
store at Hartford, Ala., from
which they will cover a large por
tion of that slate.
Air P. A. Flanigan leaves today
for New York to attend the piano
dealers convention and while there
will buy the large stock of pianos
and organs for their new store at
Hartford, Ala.
P. A. Flanigan is also commis
sioner for Northeast Georgia for
the national association of music
merchants.
II T. and P. A. Flanigan are
hustlers, hard workers, continual
ly on the job and not afraid to
hack their judgement. From a
business of only a few thousand
dollars a year at first, it now runs
into several hundred thousand an
nually.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to express our sincere
thanks to our friends and neigh
bors for words of sympathy and
the many kindnesses shown dur
ing the sickness and death of our
dear wife and mother. May God’s
bless you all.

UNSELFISHNESS.
The truest, the best, the real
lasting success comes only to those
who spend themselves in unself
ish service for humanity.
The tendeiest affection, the
gentlest patience, the kindest for
bearance, the sweetest memories
belong to those who fondly and
freely give the best that is in them
to brighten the lives of others.
The pomp and pageantry of
the brilliant court will fade; the
dazzling riches and the unchal
lenged power of the mighty will
pass away; the material monu
ments of men will crumble with
the passing of the years; only 1 lie
priceless treasures of mind and
heart partake of immortality.
The real men of today are the
unselfish, kind, patient, and cour
ageous; one who always sees the
good in other people, and not the
bad; one who always looks on the
bright side of life instead of the
gloomy side and never criticise
someone else for faults when they
themselves may have greater
faults.—
Airs. S. M. St. John and little
son, Julian, have returned from a
Week’s visit to hei brother at
