TO THE VOTERS OF THE 9TH
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
I desire to call your attention to
the importance of a full vote for
our nominees in the election No
vember 2nd. While everyone
knows that the South is entitled
to the representation that we now
have, yet, there is a sentiment
in Congress to reduce my repre
sentation on account of the small
vote we poll in the November elec
tion, and no doubt a bill will he
introduced by some Northern Re
publican in the next Congress to
change our representation. There
fore. I trust that the people of our
District, as well as the State, will
show a solid front tor the nomi
nees of our Party, and that every
voter will take the time to go out
and vote.
This is important t.o our District,
the State and the South. Don’t tor
get the date, November 2nd.
Very sincerely yours,

A NEW TICKET OUT
FOR CITY OFFICIALS
REV JNO. H MASHBURN AT
CHRISTIAN CHURCH SUNDAY
Rev. Jno. 11. Mashlmrn, pas*or
of the Methodist church of 1 is
city will occupyy the pul pit of the
Christian church next Sunday ev
ening at 7:30.
Mr. Masliburn, on account of his
long service as a minister of the
M. E. church, has decided to retire
from regular pastoral work and
will leave Winder at the (dose of
1920 after a most successful charge
of four years.
The quarterly conference of his
congregation recently met and
unanimously asked him to recon
sider his action and stay with them
another twelve months, but having
prayerfully' made his decision to
retire, he had to decline this appeal
of his brethren as deeply as lie ap
preciated their love and confidence
The rest of his days will he spent
at Elberton. Ga.. and The Times
sincerely trusts that, these may he I
for several decades, that lliey may
he days of peaceful enjoyment, fill
ed with pleasant memories of the
good he has done and the con
sciousness of duty faithfully per
formed.
Ilis four years pastorate at "Win
der, tlie closing years of an active
ministry, have been ycars.we hope,
to which he can look hack during
his future reminiscent moods with
as much pleasure as every one here
will who had the privilege of know
ing him.
Few men have endeared them
selves to their own church and to
all the other churches and have
been more universally loved and
honored than he during his four
years fn our city.
We all would rejoice to have him
continue here as a citizen and god
ly man the remainder of his life,
hut there are ties of a nature which
draw him to Elberton and we re
luctantly submit to his leaving us.
lie and Mrs. Mastiburn arid
their little granddaughter will he
greatly missed and we know that
the best wishes of every citizen of
Winder’will follow them to their
Elberton home and will always
he proud to welcome them back as
visitors.
A cordial invitation is extended
to all who can to come out Sunday
night and join in this service as it
may be the last opportunity you
will have to hear him.
PAWNED HIS WATCH TO SEE
THE FAIR.
The Times does not believe the
report given out by the warm
friends of Mr. \N . *l. Cole, oi Route
3, that he pawned his Ingersoll
watch here during the fair to go
into the show to see the women
dancers and high kickers, lor we
would have rather lent him. fifty
cents without having the trouble
of winding up his Ingersoll twice
a day and saved him all this talk
and trouble.
But they are telling this tale on
him and he is doing all in his pow
er to keep his wife from finding
out.
Mrs. Cole takes The Times, but
we are hoping she will not see tills.
