The report of cotton ginn ed in Harrow county previ ous to September 25, 1920, amounts to only 820 hales as compared to 4,812 bales for the same period in 1919.

CONVENTION IS DRAWING NEAR These are busy days for Winder, and other busy days are coming— days that will be full of good things. Wc are wondering just how the State Hoard of the Wom an’s Christian Temperance Union is going to crowd into the days be tween October 19 and 22 all of the splendid things they are promis ing us, but we know they can and -will do it, and more, too. Only to day we learned that Mr. Jesse IA Mercer, of Atlanta, chief inspector of prohibition law enforcement, is to be here and speak one night. We all want to hear him. We are counting on hearing Mrs Elizabeth A Perkins of Ann Arbor. Michigan, who is the Director of Child Welfare in the National W. ('. T. r.. This most important work is receiving the best attention of the leading.people of the country today, for on the welfare of the children depends the future wel fare of our country. Il is a great privilege to have Mrs. Perkins with us. and to hear her message. Every committee of the local .union is as busy as possible pre paring for the coming of the con vention. The honor and good name of Winder are at stake, and we do not want to leave anything undone that may contribute to the success of this great occasion We leei ihP ad of Winder is witii ns in this i> otter.

OA„ THURSDAY, OCTOHKH 7, 1020 DODGE BROTHERS MOTOR CARS TO REMAIN SAME PRICE Official confirmation of press dis patches from Detroit, announcing that there would be no reduction in the price of Dodge Brothers Mo tor Cars. has been received by Smith Hardware Cos., the Dodge Brothers dealers in this city. A telegram from C. W. Matheson, acting general sales manager to the local dealer, reads: “Dodge Brothers policy has ever been to give full value for the price asked. There will he no reduction in the present prices of Dodge Brothers mo tor cars. Newspaper reports to the contrary are absolutely untrue.” “Dodge Brothers announcement Was no surprise to us,” said Mr. Smith. In fad. it is noly a sub stantiation of Dodge Brother's bus iness principles. At no time have they ever demanded an excess amount for their product. As in the past, they will continue in the future to demand a fair return for their efforts. “The mere fact that the demand for Docle Brothers motor ears is still greater than the supply, de spite the great expansion program at the factory, has absolutely noth ing to do with the decision t<> con tinue the present price's. In mar keting their car Dodge Brothers have never made a point of price and will never sacrifice the' quali ty of their product to enter price competition.” BIG DOUBLE CIRCUS COMING THIS WAY Ringling Bros, and Bamum & Bai ley Combined Announce Exhi bitions At Early Date The gigantic double shows hill ed as Ringling Brothers and Bar mim & Bailey combined will ex hibit afternoon and night at Gaia Bihit on the afternoon and night, at Gainesville.

The \\ iiuler hoys deserve a world of credit and a better attendance from the home clan for the splen did team they have gotten togeth- j or. With a little more coaching land endurance they will boast o£ Ia championship team. Riverside arrived a little late, but were soon in uniform and ready to go. Riverside won the toss and elected to receive and defend the nnrth goal. Ralph Smith kiekd off fifty yards and the game was on. Riv erside was able 1o gain consistent ly for the first few minutes of play and pushed the ball to the five yard line, but the Winder line braced and held and the hall went over. On a had pass Mc.N'ahb fum bled, recovered, but was tackled behind the goal for a safety. The first <|uarler .ended with Winder in possession of the balk River side 2. Winder 0. In t.he second (pinrtcr both tearns I made pretty gains but neither side ; was able t n score. Rivcside kicked off to Winder to start tin 1 third quarter. Winder boys showed the effect of the fif teen minute rest and marched |down the field in splendid fashion. 1 Riverside man intercepted ii for l mi <1 pa -but was downed in bis ’tracks. Riverside gained steadily ! . on short forward passes till ITar- vcy Lokey caught one and ran 40 yards to a touchdown. He was en abled to make this the prettiest run of Ihe game by perfect inter ference by Boy Smith. Third quar ter ended with Winder on ten yard line plowing for another .touchdown. Biverside, 2;"Winder, i. Biverside and Winder both re- sorted to a punting game in the last quarter. Both teams made des |>< rate etTorts at touchdowns, hut al the critical moment the lines held. The Winder line held for downs on the five yard line while Riversirh braced on their 10 yard line. The game ended 7 to 2 in favor of Winder. Lewis at quar ter and his right guard played best for Biverside while the whole Win der team starred at times. Mc- Nabb is a good field general; Lo key made the touchdown and gain ed through the line at will. Pete Rogers gained constantly on end runs. Boy Smith was in every play. Brose Jackson stopped the gains around right end when he was sub stituted for Badford. Boh Gamp gained on off tackle plays. Ralph Smith played a good game at cen ter and got off some nice punts. Cupid Potts and Pressley at guard always held at the critical moment Bop GrifTeth and Squat Hodges made a dandy set of taeklers. They waded through the line on several occasions. The ends were strong and Riverside was never able to gam much around them. River side gained best, on short passes. It was a great game and was thoroughly enjoyed by the small crowd. Come on Winder, and suj>- port a good foot ball team. Winder will meet G. M. C. at Valley Park Get. 16.
