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.

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.
