WINDER HIGH AGAIN
The High School basket ball
team went over to Commerce last
Wednesday with only one thought
and that was to win that game
and she did.
Commerce had not been beaten
a game this season until Winder
High finished with them. They
came out on the court last Wednes
day afternoon with no other
thought than to run away with
Winder, hut as the game neared
the end it looked very gloomy for
them; they put an extra effort
forward in the last halt o 1 the
game, hut our hoys held them last.
The final outcome was a score o 1
19 to 3 in Winder’s favor, so Com
merce went hack to then diessing
room feeling somewhat down
hearted because they were so sure
of victory over Winder.
The feature of the game was
the fast pass work ot the Winder
team and their ability for break
ing ni) the opposing teams passes.

THE MARVELOUS DEVELOPMENT
BEING MADE IN BARROW COUNTY
Many Interesting Events and Changes During the Past Fifty Years
Which Have So Quickly Come, and Now History of Days Gone By.
When we speak of Barrow couu
tv in this article it is meant the
territory making up our new conn
tv which up to six years ago was
a part and parrel of the three
splendid old coninionw ealtlijs of
Jackson, Walton and Gwinnett,
Barrow county twenty-five or
thirty years abo was very differ
ent in most respects to what it is
today, and if one will go hack fif
ty years there are many interest
ing changes and comparisons.
Fifty years it is not a very long
time—only half a century—but
during this period wonderful and
undreamed-of things .have hap
pened. marvelous developments
have taken place and many things
have transpired to make history.
Fifty years ago the agricultural
interested’ this section was far be
hind many counties and land aver
aged about $4.00 per acre. Now
it is one among themost progress
ive and productive .agricultural
counties of the state and larni
lands have advanced from $4.00
to an average of SIOO.OO per aero.
The advancement in all other
lines of endeavor has been equally
as great.
Fifty years ago the school ad
vantages were extremely limited;
there were scarcely any comforta
ble church buildings, no good pub
lic roads, no telephones, few bug
gies and tu> automobiles, hut there
were plenty of cross roads, bar
rooms and few advocates of pro
hibition.
Fifty years ago there were no
electric lights, no rural routes, no
daily mail, no improved farm im
plements.
Fifty years ago there were, no
railroads in the county and Ath
ens was the nearest railroad point.
There are interesting things for
•'us to .review occasionally, and
while they bring back to our mind
many sad memories of the past, it
should cause us to feel grateful
for the advantages we have ami
the blessings we eninv of which
those who lived half a century
hack were deprived.
During all this period, of which
we have been writing, few coun
ties have had a finer type ot citi
zenship, men who had high ideals,
a true conception of what consti
tutes a good citizen and men who
succeeded in the various walks of
life.
During this half century scores
of them have gone to the great be
yond who did much to help make
Barrow county what it is today.
Among those we now can call to
memory, we mention; Col. Robert
White, Peter McMullin. Dilmus R.
