TO THE VOTERS OF BARROW
COUNTY:
1 have been informed by scores
of friends of many strange things
that 1 propose to do if I am elected
Superintendent of the Barrow
county schools. One of the most
absurd is: If I were elected, I
wcv.ld center all the County
schools in the city of Winder.
This, of course, is very foolish, but
this is a sample of more than a
dozen of like character which are
going the rounds, all of which are
false.
T have told nothing that my op
ponent would or would not do—
jthat would he Ids business, not
mine.
If 1 am <■ meted, I shall do all for
the SCHOOLS of the county that
the law will allow. No one can
do more, and no one should want
to do less.
Yours trailv,
JNO. H. WOOD.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY
WINDER, BARROW COUNTY, GA„ THURSDAY, APRIL 8. 1920
THE CITY BOND ELECTION HELD
MONDAY, PRACTICALLY UNANIMOUS
This Was, a Great Victory For
Those Who Wish to See Winder
Continue to Go Forward and Do
Bigger and Greater Things.
The city bond election las "Mon
day was practically unanimous
and nas a great victory for those
who wish to see Winder continue
to go forward and do bigger and
greater tilings.
'I no vote on bonds for paving
was 322 and against only 2(>. For
extension of sewerage the vote was
340, and against, .just 8 votes.
It was very essential to the fu
ture prosperity of our growing
little city that these needed im
provements be made, and our en
terprising citizens lined up almost
solidly to carry the bond election
through, realizing what it meant
for Winder.
The mayor, council and those
who took such an active part in
gi\’ng this overwhelming majori
ty for bonds are to be congratulat
ed. It was a wonderful victory
and one that even the few who op
posed it will lie proud of before
the expiration of the present
year.
The only way to make a city is
for it’s citizens to be imbued with
the one purpose of doing great
things.
Keep pushing, keep talking,
keep working, keep doing the
things that help develop your
town and section and keep in the
procession that stands for progress
This lias been the Winder spirit
since it’s birth and the result has
been a continued growth and de
velopment. Had it been otherwise
it would have had less than 1000
population today.
HON. CLIFFORD WALKER
VISITS WINDER.
Hon. Clifford Walker spent part
of last Saturday in Winder meet
ing his friends.
He reports his campaign in fine
sape and hopes to he the next
governor of Georgia.
IT HELPS THE LOOKS OF
THINGS.
Dr. W. L. DeLaPcrricre lias re
cently had his handsome two-story
: brick store painted and freshly
'marked and it has given a fresh
and attractive appearance to that
part of Broad street.
It is hoped that others will
follow his example and .do like
wise.
These things help the looks of a '
city wonderfully and attract at
tention of strangers.
A RESOLUTION.
Whereas, it pleased God to re
move from our midst our friend
and Brother, W. J. Helton, we
how in humble submission to Him,
who does all things well.
Yet we are made to wonder why j
one in the very prime of life is cut j
off, so soon, while it is true that
all that rrre born must die.
Therefore, be it Resolved first.
That as it pleased Him, who said
“I am the resurrection and the
life,”
We, the members of Garter Hill
T. O. 0. F. No. 437, bow in rever
erence to Him realizing that by
our b ■ s it may be bis eternal gain. 1
Second. In the death of Brother
Helton, we have losl a faithful
member, and one ever ready to go
to the utmost of his ability for bis
brothers.
Third. Therefore, we desire to
render to his companion and chil
dren our tenderest sympathies in
their hour of grief and sorrow,
commending them to Him that can
heal the broken hearted and dry
the tear dimmed eyes.
Fourth, Further, we desire that
these resolutions be published in
the Barrow Times, a copy he sent
to the family* and one placed on
our minutes.

SOME THINGS I WANT. ■
(By Rev. W. 11. Faust.)
A growing boy always stays him
grv. Labor is never satisfied willi
salary'; capital is never content
with it’s acquisition; the farmer
always wants bigger crops and
higher prices; the consumer al
ways wants more goods and cheap
er prices.
Even a preacher with all the
worldly wealth, both of THIS?
and the next, wants .
1 want in campaign years all
the numerous candidates for office
to shake hands with me cordially
Sand seriously urge me to use all
jmy vast influence to put them in
to office.
I want to be strong of body in
order that through a herculean
physical organism currents of vi
tal energy may go out to bless and
brighten the whole world about
me.
I want little children to smile
upon me and feel that in propor
tion to my ability they have no
better friend in all the world.
I want the privilege of voting
for the best man in any contest
without having to wound all the
good timn who are aspiring to the
'same position.
1 want to wear the kind (>7
Mot lies that are comfortable and
uedium priced so that I’ll not bo
nista.lv<mi for a butler or a chauf
feur or a hell hoy or a street
preacher by real men and worn- n.
I want to be* optimistic even
when there seems not a ray of star
light in the darkness about me,
through that, others may be glad
when I ’ni about.
I want always to remember to
try and smile and talk about pl< as
cot tilings lather than bore my
friends by talking about my sick
ness and the disappointments of
life.
I want my friends who really
appreciate me to tell me about it.
while alive, it, will not turn me in
to a raving egotist. The flowers
and praise now, and only a simple
hunch of (lowers on the casket.
I want people to understand that
a man who speaks practiealy dai
lyand writes columns each week
is liable to say sgometliing wrong,
and at the same time stay by the
good and pass my imperfections
by.
I want my family to feel that if
in my relations to them I blunder,
it. is a mistake of the head and not
of t he heart.
I want every struggling boy and
girl who wants an education to
feel that they have in me a pro
found sympathizer- and a loving
friend.
I want to be ashamed to think
of doing wrong and to be as hold
as a lion and fearlessly do the
right regardless of what people
may think or say.
