REVIVAL SERVICES GROW
' ING IN INTEREST
"Monday niglit Dr. 11am and Ids
assistant, ('apt. Spooner arrived
and at the regular evening sevice
opened wliat promises to be one
of the best meetings held in Win
tier for years.
A large number of committees
to look after the detail work t>f the
meeting bad been appointed and
were on.their job.
('apt. Spooner is a singer of na
tional reputation having extensive
experience in the army and in the
■famous ’napman meet
ings throughout the nation.
lie has organized a splendid
choir composed of members of all
the churches in Town and the boys
and girls.
Asa soloist he is great, but his
genius is conducting congregation
al music, and one is carried hack
to the good old days of the past as
the great throngs sing “Jesus Lov
er of ATy Soul,” to the "tune of
“Silver Threads Among the God”
“Holy Manna” and numbers of
the choice old songs and the very
best of new ones.
It is the universal opinion of our
citizens that no greater song lead
er has ever struck our parts.
Dr. I lam is at his best, lie was
here last year; our people knew
what to expect. He comes fresh
from a gloriouus victory in paying
k >ff the indebtedness of the Taber-
Tiacle, and from a great revival in
his own church.
Asa preacher he is intensely
earnest, and evangelically ortlior
<!ox, sensational of couurse, and
as fearless as was Elijah of old,and
yet withal as gentle and lovable
and tender in his ministry as Hli-
Jjah.
Profiteers. political grafters,
v srldly minded Christians, society
vuuers. dancers, gamblers and sin
in general finds no comfort in his
sermonizing and yet with passion
ate and prophetic zeal he holds up
Christ as the Saviour and the
blood as the remedy for sin.
"Wednesday afternoon in compa
ny with a number of Winder citi
zens, Dr. Ham visited Statham and
preached to a fine congregation of
attentive listners, a number of the
Statham citizens are attending the
meetings.
Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock
this active team of workers will
accompany Kev. W. H. Faust to
'Bethabara in Oconee county and
have charge of the service.
The meetings will continue thru
next week, daily at 10:30 a. in., K
p. m., except Saturday.
The high esteem in which this
splendid evangelistic team is held
by our people is evidenced ly the
large numbers of our people in at
tendance ami the enthusiastic ami
wholehearted support given them
by all the pastors, churches and
ehristians in this section.
You will not want to miss the
Sunday services, nor can you af
ford to miss the morning sermons
that are Biblical and expository
in character.

ING TO AUTOMOBILE
DRIVERS
I again null attention to the re
quirements of the automobile law

VERS of automobiles are required

after May sth, 1920, all violators
of this law will be arrested and re
quired to give bond to the Supe

ANOTHER STORY
The Smith Hardware Company
already had one of the big hard
ware buildings of Northeast Geor

more space to accommodate its
increasing trade was forced to add

This firm has had a wonderful
growth, and this new floor space
jwill aid much to relieve the con
gestion as well as helping-the ap
pearance of things in general.

|WINi>ER, BARROW COUNTY. GA.. THURSDAY. APRIL 29. 1920
THE WONDERFUL SUC
CESS OF A WINDER BUSI
NESS MAN.
Much talking is not always an
indication of sucres.
Jn fact most all of us news
paper men, preachers, lawyers,
doctors, business men and farmers
talk too much and do too little.
: We are all, unfortunately, con
ceited, feel our importance, and
deep down in our hearts fan our
egotism and believe we are just a
little smarter than any one else.
This leads us all into error and
causes us to show our weaknesses
and our ignorance by talking too
much and trying to force our opin
ions on others.
Most of us are like the old wom
an who was an incessant and eter
nal talker, but always prefaced
her remark by asserting “she was
a woman of very few words.”
Winder has a man who can be
claimed as an exception in this
particular respect, and as a rule
can he called a man of few words.
The Times refers to Mr. John
M. Williams, president of the Har
row County Cotton Mills, direct
or in Winder National Bank, di
rector in Smith-Mayne Manufact
uring Cos., director in the Bell Man
it factoring Cos., and one of the
I large cotton buyers of Georgia.
Mr. Williams is a native of this
county, reared on 1 lie farm six
miles from Winder.
, He is unusuming, liberal in all
public and charitable undertak
ings, attends to his own business
and has made a marvelous success
as a business man and good citi
zen.
Few men as young as he have
accomplished as much arid accum
mulated a fortune equal to his in i
the same length of time.
WOODRUFF HARDWARE CO.,
NO. 2. AT STATHAM GREAT
SUCCESS.
The Woodruff Hardware Cos.,
No. 2., of Staham, under the man
agement of Pike Hutchins, is en
joying a wonderful succes and is
one of the live factors in the on
ward growth and prosperity of
that hustling little city of which
Ba rrow county is proud.
This new store is only a few
months old, but has had a phenomi
nal growth in business with every
succeeding month.

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF BARROW COUNTY
W. K. LYLE CLOSES HALF
MILLION DOLLAR COT
TON DEAL IN AUGUSTA
Mr. AY. K. Lyle, one of Winder’s
big cotton men who knows as
much about cotton as any man in
the south, closed a sale of cotton
this week in Augusta amounting
to half million dollars.
lie spent first of the week in
that city which is one of the lead
ing southern markets for export.
Winder cotton men handle large
deals, running often into hundreds
of thousands of dollars, but this
was the biggest transaction ever
pulled off by one of our local cot
ton men.
CARD OF THANKS.
I wish to thank the people whose
names are given be low for their
aid in helping me bear the expense
of a serious operation. I shall ev

MEMORIAL DAY WELL
OBSERVED IN WINDER
Winder paid impressive tribute
to the heroes of the sixties, the ob
servance ot the day being marked
by the cessation of practically all
business houses; interesting exer
cises at the school auditorium and
at the cemetery.
Judge Russell was a well chosen
orator ot the day. and in his own
. impressive way paid loving trib
; ute to our revolutionary, confeder
ate and world war veterans.
April libth is the anniversary of
the surrender of the confederate
forces and the close of the war be
tween the states, and also curious
ly, of the first shot fired in the con
flict with the United States and
Germany.
SNAP SHOTS
The hapicst man in all the world
is the one who all along life’s high
way feels the strong and tender
clasp of God’s unseen hand.
Cheerfulness is the oil of glad
ness that makes the wheels of life
progress more silently and swiftly.
When you can not better condi
tions it. docs no good to worry ov
er them; worry is the ennker that
eats ont life’s brass.
If you would he w ise think much,
travel extensively and talk little.
The man who tarries always in
life’s collar has very little time to
glimpse real glories from the top
stories of life’sd welling.
Example is stronger than pre
cept, action is more mighty than
profession and the tunning up of
life is but the reaping of what we
have sown.
People said Tom Watson had
been stuffed, stoned and stilled out
side the city walls on April 22nd,
they found him clothed, restored
jand inside the gates ruling over
I the synagogue.
Mr. Palmer seems to have about
as much influence over the sugar
profiteers as he did over tin- over
whelming majority of the votess
of the grand old Empire state.
If the time spent in complaint
were actualized and utilized in
forwarding worthwhile things,
this mundane sphere would be in
finitely better off.
Paying ten dollars per rifle
in aeroplanes does’nt sound much
like economizing, and the ones who
do it. are not building and manag
ing our manufacturing plants and
railroads.
I
| To set, you face to face in the
right direction and then travel for
ward in the fear of Cod means
eventually to scale the heights of
achievement.
Success is to get up the moment
we stumble, face in the right di
rection and keep everlastingly go
ing.
If some girls who walk the
streets were to put the paint they
use on their faces on their moth
er’s house and fence, the old town
would look a whole lot brighter.
The cause of prosperity is to
too stubornly refuse to give to the
whisperings of adversity; we are
largely what we think we are.
The only man in all the world
who completely fails is the one
who lies down and positively re
fuses to get up.
A man’s real character comes
out in defeat. He who grows sout
hs small, but he who shakes off 1 lu
dust, of the neelee and smilingly
moves on in natures true nobleman
There is no more deluded man
on earth than one who thinks that
life consists in the multiplication
of possessions, and that content
ment aiid riches will bring genu
ine happiness.
Mr. Tom Jeff Lanier, one of
Statham’s splendid citizens was a
visitor to Winder Wednesday.
Mr. J. L. Lanier and family, of
Atlanta, spent the week-end in
Winder, quests of Mrs. W. B. Mc-
Cants.
Messrs. J. A. Tollkoii and Tom
Coleman spent Sunday in Winder
guests of friends.
Rev. Mashburn, Rev. Collins and
Mr. Ralph Potterfield were the din
"■ r guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. B.
MeCants on Saturday.
Mrs. O. H. Fortson and baby,
Harold, spent Sunday in Atlunta
with Mr. Fortson.
