Beautiful Farms and Fine
fCiops Over Barrow County
A COUNTY OF CLEVER, HOSPI
[ TABLE AND PROGRESSIVE
CITIZENS. SMALL FARMS
IN HIGH STATE OF
CULTIVATION
|r ——
m
| If you wish to see beautiful, well
kept farms in a high state of cul
tivation and fine crops, you will
fifiever tire of beholding them all
lover Barrow county.
In every district and every coni
■nunity you will find the same
thrift and progressiveness, the
isanie friendly rivalry and laudible
■determination by every one to
■make as much per acre as any ot li
ler farmer.
; This is not confined to any one
[particular locality, but is univer
f sally true of all sections.
If you go over ('handler’s dis
trict you think there is no other
section to equal it. Then ride thru
Statham district and the same
opinion is reached.
Just continue your journey into
Jones’ district and you see the
same attractive homes and farms
greet you on every road.
When you reach Bethlehem dis-
you discover at once a similar
and development made.
After going on through the fa
mous Ben Smith district and view
ing the magnificent farms and
homes youu reach the conclusion
there are no sorry farmers in Bar
row,
You will, therefore, be delighted
when crossing over and going
through Auburn district to see the
same progress and ambition to ex
cel, with new homes and fertile
farms to meet the eye in every di
re t ion.
Entering Cain’s district you are
charmed to find a like spirit and
behold the substantial homes, occu
pied by up-to-date farmers and
thickly populated.
Then you take in Pentecost dis
trict and you begin to fully real
ize there is no part of Barrow
county sagging behind for here,
too, you find the same class of
wide awake farmers and splendid
homes.
After this you meander over
Houses district, or Winder dis
trict and you discover no one of
these nine districts behind the oth
ers, but that all of them are
growing at a rapid rate in every
f. Ae of the essential elements
which make a great and prosper
ous commonwealth.
One prime factor in the devel
opment is the fact there are no big
farms in our county—the large
majority of them ranging from 50
to 100 acres.
A further fact that all of the
men who farm are good farmers
and up-to-date in every respect.
It is a revelation and an inspi
ration to go all over Barrow coun
ty. study its possibilities, see what
lias been done and what is being
done by its clever hospitable and
progressive citizens.
Few counties can equal it and
none surpass it.
NEARING COMPLETION
The handsome brick residence
of Mr. Marian Maynard just out
side the incorporate limits of Win
der is nearing completion.
This will be one of the prettiest
homes in Barrow county when fin
ished.
Mr. Bob Barber, who lias had
charge of its construction, is to be
congratulated.
Mrs. A. D. MeCurry is the guest
of relatives in Gainesville this
week.

WITH ONLY HALF GAME SEP
ARATING THEM FROM TOP
WINDER GOES TO THOM
SON TO CONTINUE
THE FIGHT.
Winder went to Madison last
Thursday for a series of three
games and was successful in tak
ing two out of three. By taking
this series it put them in the fight
for the pennant of the.second half,
just a game and a belt' behind El
herton.
Elherton came to Winder Mon
day with blood in their eyes for a
series of three games. They put
their backs to th£ wall and fought
for every game.
Winder won the first game with
“Bunkum” Morris on the mound.
The home hoys won the game by
playing sensational hall through
out the game, pulling the plays
that stopped runs.
Elbert mi was defeated Tuesday
by Pantone. The score was three
to one. This game was hard con
tested by both teams, with Win
der’s players making almost im
possible plays knocking down hits
and getting the man out. Wil
liamson was on the mound for El
herton and he was unusually wild
hitting four batsmen.
Winder had an off day Wed
nesday and Klberton walked over
them with ease. The score 8 to 1.
Milt Reed was hit by a fast one
and knocked out in the game of
Tuesday. Reed received a terrific
blow, which will put him out for
the rest of the season, lie is still
confined to his bed, hut is resting
better at this time. It is to he
Imped that lie will pull through
without any had after effects.
“Jay” Smith relieved Reed and
played sensational hall, also hit
ting the old apple.
Jimmie White is playing the
game of his life, fielding like great
guns and hitting in the pinches.
Bevo Webb is playing better ball
each day and hitting steadily.
.Joe Guyon scored the only run
of Wednesday’s game on an in
field out.
Boh Higgins went hack into the
game last Friday after being out
with a had hand.
Eddie Rawson caught while Hig
gins was out of the game, playing
well, delivering hits in pinches.
Gordon Powell has joined the
Winder team, we are glad to get
him and have him with us.
Belk is busting the pill and help
ing to win games for the borne
team.
Klberton only let Winder rest on
the first round of the pennant lad
der for a day by taking the game
Wednesday, which pulled us off*.
The home players have been play
ing good ball, fighting hard for ev
ery game. After being crippled
with aeidents and sickness they
have climbed from fourth place to
within half a game from the top.
We know that they will have to
fight for every game that they
play and we are sure that they
will do it. They have the pennant
bee buzzing in their heads and
with fair piny and luck they will
cop the leadership of the second
half. If they do they will then
give Thompson “what patty gave
the drum.”
Winder had a big day politically
if they did not have it in baseball.
Messrs. Tom Hardwick, John I.
Kelley and Thus. W. Watson ad
dressed a large crowd here. Ev
erybody knows that Winder is on
the map and that we are there to
stay and let folks know' that we
are there to stay. Yes, sir, just
like anew born babe. Wateb us
grow.
