THE BARROW TIMES
MISS ICIE SMITH TO LEAVE
WINDER PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The tumj* I(ou*..Xrlrlids fef Miss
leieSiiptlj will iCgrcft [yflrn that
she wul sevcrlier connection with
the Winder Public Schools at tlie
close, §i the present term as .my of
.our musl ,apd cdicicnf.
teachers''for 'several* years.
She would have been unani
mously elected again by the board
bad she so desired, but on account
of being offered a position in sev
eral other .schools at a much more
remunerative salary, she decided
to make a change.
She lias already bad an offer in
another city of $1260 per year of
nine months. A much larger sala
ry than she would receive to re
main here.
Miss [cie is one among our best
teachers, and has made a reputa
tion in her chosen profession of
which anyone should feel proud.
Tt is a distinct loss to a town or
community to lose a young lady
possessed of so many noble attri
butes of character and the Times
regrets exceedingly to know she
has severed her connection with
our schools and that her influence
for good will be lost to our city.

A BUSINESS PREACHER.
Regardless of how much truth
or lack of truth there may be in
the old saying that a good preach
er is usually a very poor business
man, there are exception to this
rule to say the least of it.
We have read with unusal in
terest the annual report of tlie
First Christian Church, o£Athens,
under the wise leadership of Rev.
Stanley R. Hrubb. We doubt if
any bank will ever furnish it’s
directors a more complete Or com
prehensive financial statement oL
it’s affairs than the report by Mr.
Grubb of his church. One state
ment is particulary
which reads as follows: “Four
years ago w e were congratulating''
ourselves that under God’s provi
dence we had been able to erect
our new church home and occupy
it ,nit ho we were carrying a debt of
more than fifteen thousands dol
lars. Most of us have felt that it
would take us several years to get
from beneath this burden. But to
day, we come to the beginning of
this year rejoicing that it is a
thing of the past.”
Few men and congregations
have ever demonstrated more
clearly that there are not many
things impossible where the prop
er management and spirit are dis
played, than this Mr. Grubb and
congregation at Athens.
This pastor during the past
year preached 114 sermons in
Athens, 10 special sermons, con
ducted 48 pray meetings, con
ducted 18 funerals, 10 weddings,
made 520 calls and had the over
sight and leadership of raising
$24,380.95.
The results obtained, by this
pastor and his congregation de
served special comment, and it is
with a great deal of pleasure that
we are able to furnish our readers
with Ibis inspiring work and com
and his clmreh t other pastors
mend the success of Air. Grubb
and congregation as a good ex
ample.
Another interesting item in the
report herein refered to, this pas
tor looks upon his achievement of
the past year as only a beginning
of the work he hopes to do in the
future. His report is closed
with the following statements:
“As minister of this congrega
tion lie. to bring to you tills air
for this good year upon which we
have already entered —one hun
aml fifty added to our membership
two hundred and seventy-five en
rolled in our Sunday school fam
ily worship in every home—one
’hundred who will give a tithe or
more for the kingdom by the close
of i'*2o. Am you willing to pull
and persuade and pray to this
end?”
