first inning, this lead Monroe was
unable to overcome, as Ledbetter
effective in the pinches.
Red Barron, Bevo Webb, Kssau
Settle, and Rob Hill were the fea
ture fielders for Winder. Mana
ger Bob Higgins caught the
oulv man who tried to steal a bast
and the Monroe players did. not
make auot 1 t” effort
Milt Reed made outs of balls
that were labeled hits, so with the
consistent playing of the entire
Winder team Monroe was helpless.
Satterfield was the star for Mon
roe doing some nice fielding and
hitting. Kent/, is a good pitcher
and with better support the game
would have been tighter.

DON T STOP WORK ON
ACCOUNT OF DRY WEATHER
The man who stops plowing his
cotton and corn because of dry
weather and because it is clean
will not make as much per acre as
the man who continues to plow
and stir the land.
This is a lesson hard to learn,
although we see the correctness
of it every year and in every com
munity.
BARROW COUNTY CROPS
ARE FREE FROM GRASS
The crops of Barrow county are
as free from grass as has ever been
known for this time in June.
Labor has been scarce and it is
really remarkable that the farrn
ei-s have gotten crops in this splen
did condition with such a late
start.
Cotton is small and late and the
- Average considerably cut, but with
occasional rains Barrow county
will make a better yield than it
was thought possible a few weeks
ago.
The corn outlook is not so favor
able, because the land could not
be properly prepared and it was
impossible to plant it in time.
What little wheat that was Plant
ed in this county is better than
was expected and things are not
as bad*as we all once thought they
w ould he.

DON’T GIVE UP THE
BONDED WAREHOUSE.
The greatest mistake Barrow
county and Winder could make
would he to give up the building

solidity. Indeed, there was no
evidence that the place was not
filled solidly. In walking in the
yard Mrs. Andrews had occasion
i to pass directly over the old well,
when the thin covering broke thru
and causing lier to fall to the bot
tom. eight or ten feet. Her little

descended into the well, finding
Mrs. Andrews unconscious, black
in the face and sunk three feet or
more in the mire and debris at the
bottom of th well. In his efforts

Mrs. Andrews was badly bruis
ed by falling against the brick
wall in the well, and the shock of
the experience together with the
ill effects of the gas, rendered her
condition quite serious for aw hile
It was almost miraculous that she
survived. She was unconscious

Great credit is due the many
women of the neighborhood and
t lie men who gathered quickly to
tlie rescue; and special credit is
due Mr. Krooni, without whose
prompt and heroic work il is prob
able Mi's. Andrews would not
have been rescued in time to save
her from suffocation. Though he
reached her four or five minutes

RECALLS ’49 GOLD RUSH
\
Sonora, a small mining town in
the Sierras, which forms the back
ground of the story of “The Ter
ror,” the latest Tom Mix thriller,
which will he shown at Strand
Theater next Monday, June 21, has
an historic connection in the fact
that it was first settled hy the Mex
ieans in 1847. Then when the
memorable rush for gold started
in 1849 the whites drove the Mex
icans out of the country and set
tled there themselves.
Those sturdy white settlers who
traversed the vast plains of the
West in the days of 1849 found
what they sought and quickly con
verted the little mountain town in
to one of the biggest mining
camps of that period.
