MARGUERITE CLARK IN MRS.
WIGGS OF THE CABEAGE
PATCH—STRAND FRIDAY.
The statement has been frequent
ly made that Marguerite Clark is
the sweetest girl in motion pict
ures. and all of her thousands of
admirers cheerfully admit that
they share this opinion. Every
film fan of discernment, and appre
ciation will go even further and in
sist that in the portrayal of sweet
sixteen voles she lias no superior in
the silent drama. Her vivacity
and youthful charm in such pict
ures as “The Seven Swans," “l u
ele Tom’s Cabin.’’ Rich Man, Poor
Man.” “Prunella.” “Out of a
Clear Sky.” “Three Men and a
Girl,” not to speak of the wonder
ful “ Hab” productions, have made
her characterizations in these nota
ble photoplays an integral part of
screen history. Her impersona
tion of Lovey Mary in “ Mrs. \\ igs
of the Cabbage Patch.“ her latest
starring vehicle, will add anew
and perhaps more captivating
chapter to t he story of her brilliant
artistic achievements.
Tomorrow at the Strand Theater
you will have an opportunity to
see Miss Clark in “Mrs. Wiggs of
the Cabbage Patch,” one of the
truly great pictures of the time.
On Monday Tom Mix will be
shown in “Three Gold Coins.”
To the Voters of
Barrow County:
Owing to the short time hel'ori
the Primary election September S
and the large territory that I have
to canvass, it will be impossible
for me to make a house to house
campaign in my race for Solicitor
General. I am relying on my home
people for their active support in
my race and want them to know I
will appreciate it, just as much as
if I had the time and opportunity
to grasp the hand of each one and
thank him individually. I have
lived in Winder and among you
for over 27 years and i trust that
my life and dealings have been
such that you may endorse me at
the polls in September.
My years of practice in my pro
fession and, especially my expe
rience in assisting Judge Russell
and Judge Brand as Solicitor Gen
era! and my term as Solicitor of
the ('itv Court of Jefferson, should
qualify me for this work. The pres
cut Solicitor asked for the office
“For Four Years,” he lias now
held it for that term and I ask
vour help in making me his success
or in office, assuring you that f
will gratefully appreciate your
support. Yours for service,
Win. 11. QUARTER MAN.

only thing that has held hack the
building of many nice homes in
that particular part of Winder.

Attractive Homes, Fine Schools,.
Beautiful Farms, Splendid Citi
zens and Hospitable People.—
No Section Can Surpass It.
Some of the citizens of Barrow
eountj , who do not go into the dif
ferent sections, are not aware of
tin 1 fact that out a few miles from
W inder, on the road leading to
Bowman’s Mill, is one of the pret
tiest and most progressive little
commuiiilv towns to he found in
Georgia or any <>ther state.
This is the < ’cut ral Academy com
iminity. one of the leading public
schools of the eouiitv, and for a
mile and a half square you will
find a densely populated section
which was practically in woods
thirty-five years ago.
Now tin' main public highway
and all the roads leading out from
it are dotted with nice and attract
ive homes, splendid outbuildings,
and beautiful little farms, present
ing an appearance that catches the
eye of the stranger, causing him
to stop and think of the wonderful
transformation which has taken
place in so short a time and what,
can he accomplished by energy
progressiveness and the determi
nation of the citizens of a commu
nity.
Everything in this community
town indicates prosperity, content
ment and a high order of farming.
The farms are small, in a high
state of cultivation, the crops di
versified and every one of them
self-sustaining.
4
None of them ever buy bay,
corn or any of the things which
can he grown, and as a natural
result all are prosperous and mak-
ing money.
It is a community proud of its
splendid citizenship, its fine school
and of its wonderful growth and
development.
Forty years ago there were only
three settlements in this now tliriv
ing community town; these three
heind the Casper place, the pres
ent home of Mr. J. 11. Casper. Pen
to. >s‘ place, where Mr. W. D. lli!l
now lives, and the old Hill place,
the present home of Mr. John P.
Hill. Now it is almost a town
in population for a radius of one
and a half miles square.
It begins with tin* home of Mrs.
Cooper going out from Winder
and is continued by the homes of
Messrs. Morrow. J. \V. Casper, \V.
I). Hill. Sanford Smith. Edward
Giles. I). S. Smith, John 11. Giles,
J. P. Hill. Kinmitt Wall, Theo Aits
tin. Myrt Hill. Mrs. Sadie Segars,
Messrs. Ernest Wall. Tlios. Bailey,
R. W. Ilavnie. Lee Kelly, George
\V. Steed, .hihii Martin. B. Bar-
rett, Hradv Segars, Job Ifaynie,
I. C. Segars, I). W. Ilardigree, J.
W. Ilardigree and Boh Pruitt.
Mr. John 11. Giles is the oldest
man in this community town, his
home being in the center of this
flourishing section where you will
find no better and more up-to-date
farmers and hospitable citizens in
the union.
It will he a revelation and inspi
ration to many of our people in
Barrow as well as other counties
to visit this community town, see
the beautiful farms and attract.ve
homes.
Politics will be lively from now
until tlie* primary. It is unfortu
nate that men under excitement
and in their zeal for favorite can
didates will try to prejudice the
voters by telling things detrimen
tal to those they oppose and things
they know have no foundation. Ev
ery man ought to be voted for on
merit and fitness for positions of
trust and lie fair and just to oppo
nents
