VOLUME 5. NO. 1 1
FROM A MISSISSIPPI
FRIEND
We received a letter last week
from a friend of our boyhood days
Mr. R. AV. TTinton, of Lumberton,
Miss.
With this letter was a cheek for
$1.50 to livae us send him the
Times for the next twelve months.
In this letter he sa.ys:
‘‘Dear Albert: L received a
copy of the Barrow Times this
week and it was read with much
interest by myself and dear old
mother. My mother has been very
feeble all winter but is able to sit
■up part of each day. She will he
■SO years old in April. I am en
closing my check for $1.50 for
your paper which 1 am sure will
he a source of much pleasure to
me and tny mother.”
The friends here of Mrs. Hinton
w ill he pained to learn of her fee
ble condition. She is one of the
remarkable old women oi ante
belluiu days and one of the few
still living to link the glorious
past with the present and cause us
to dream of the days of long ago.
Our old friend Wood Hinton
left his native State ol Georgia
and Barrow county when a young
man. and we do not mean to in
sinuate that he is now an old man,
for lie is just, in the prime of life,
and located at Lumberton. Miss.,
Wo rejoice to know that lie lias
prospered in his adopted state and
that lie is one of its prominent cit
izens and leading business men.
Our wish is that lie may live
long and continue to prosper.
W. H. TOOLE IS HONORED.
It will he of interest to the citi
zens of-Wiuder to know, that our
former citizen Mr. \\. 11. Toole,
continues to receive recognition
of his splendid ability, in his new
home, Atlanta.
The Centenary Commission of
Nashville, Tenn., upon the recom
mendation of the Chairman of the
North Georgia Conference, has ap
pointed Mr. W. H. Toole, treasurer
of this fund for the North Georgia
Conference, which is a position oi
honor, trust and responsibility.
There will he over nine hundred
local Centenary Treasurers report
ing to Mr. Toole, a t tal fund a
jnounting to more than two mill
ion dollars, to be paid in live an
nual installments. Y \ Joule suc
ceeds Mr.Williajn Candler as treas
urer, who recently resigned.
At the time of the Fentanary
drive last year, Mr. Toole was e
leeted as Director for St. Mark
church, (where his membership is)
from the large Board of Stewards
of that church. The campaign
was a distinct sucess showing the
splendid organization and execu
tive ability of Mr. Toole. Toy
1 hen made Mr. Toole treasurer toi
the fund and it is said Ihut collec
tions for his church are among the
best in Southern Methodism.
Therefore it is particularly fitting
that he should have been selected
for this larger responsibility, and
we feel sure that our toimei id
low citizen will bring sucess to
his new and larger undertaking.

Henry Ford ought to become a

The fellow with the best Press

political plum.
Some people are so everlasting
ly busy making history, they have
no time to read il that’s why
some other folks cut such big fig
ure on history’s pages.
When a real hoy aches to have
his mother bathe behind his cars,
i1 is a sign that the biggest por

When a workman is seen sur

then it is hard to tell whether he
is being arrested, or protected
while he goes to work.
Watch a pug dog riding in a

The woman who can smile when
