VOUTMK . M>. 4* Effort Will Be Made To Save Bell Cos. Misleading reports and state ments have gone out that the Bell < tverall Manufacturing Company is hopelessly involved and that the shareholders would lose all their stock. It is believed by the friends and by the business men connected with this big plant that it can be saved and the stock be worth par if greed and selfishness can he re strained and time given to work oat the problems confronting it. To accomplish this end it needs the sympathy and cooperation of our home people and all of the creditors. It needs the elimination of all backbiting, double dealing, jeal ousy, the desire to gobble it up for l song and that unfortunate weak ness in the hearts of men to keep pushing an unfortunate man or enterprise down the bill instead of doing everything to pull him ihe enterprise up. Mr. W. C. Horton, who was pres ident of this great enterprise, made it such a Wonderful success and the pride of Barrow county, did all in his power to stem the tide when the terrible financial crash spread over our country with such volcanic force. He sacrificed his private and personal resources trying to cover Ihe losses the Bell sustained by cancelled order and decline in val ues brought on by causes over which he nor those associated with him were responsible. Mr. Horton is a man who has done much for the business and in dustrial development of Winder and of this section, has come to l he rescue of men when they need ed financial aid and saved them from the wreckers. ITo deserves at this time less criticism and instead the sincere sympathy and cooperation of of friend and foe that he may suc ceed in putting his enterprises on a safe footing again and save those interested with him in these institutions. This is the broad and magnani mous view to take and one which should actuate the motives and con duct of all our people and those affected away from Winder. MR. J. W. CARRINGTON OPENS NEW MARKET. Mr. *T. W. Carrington has opened a now market in the rear end of the J. C. Ray & Cos. store and will lie well prepared to furnish fresh pieats of all kinds to the public. Mr. Carrington is one of the old est meat market men in Winder when it comes to the number of years’ service here in this partic ular line, and as all our people know bin) it is useless to say more concerning him and his ability .and readiness to place his custom ers.

SAUL BUYS FOUR PAGES OF THIS ISSUE Big Final Receivers Sale Begins Today and These Prices Are Guaranteed For at Least Fifteen Days In this issue of The Times the J. L. Saul Store carries four pages of advertising—4Bo inches or 6,720 agate lines, in launching his big sale which begun today. Jhikis, decidedly the largest advertising space ever sold before to a Win der merchant for one issue. In launching this big sale Mr. Saul stated that when a merchant put up the money for this big advertis ing campaign that it was an assur ed fact that lie had the stock of goods to back it up, J. L. Saul has the goods and the prices speak for themselves. On Thursday, Friday and Satur day of this week at nine o'clock there will be special bargains, for instance best dress ginghams will be sold at nine cents per yard. Mr. Saul says that his-stock .of goods is now priced at the very lowest and if cotton should go to 10 cents a pound no merchant could sell goods cheaper. Omit preparations have been made for this great sale. The stock of goods is being remarked, new salespeople employed and a great throng of buyers are expected to participate in this selling event possibly never before equalled in the history of Winder. It is the intention of the promoters of this great sale to move $20,000 worth of stock in the next fifteen days, and hence the low prices. The trad ing public is very careful of how it spends the little money that is available and wants the most for a dollar possible. . Think of men’s and boys’ cloth ing at one-half off; underwear at about one-half off; while women’s suits, cloaks and dresses will aver age about the same reduction. Al so there are about five hundred la dies hats worth $lO and up to go at $2.95 each. The worst weather of 'the win ter is yet to come and while we must buy sparingly and make ev ery penny do its its duty, yet we must have a few things in the way of warm clothing in order to pro tect health and promote happiness and we should buy it where the lit tle money we have will go farthest. It is true that when a merchant invests money in four pages of ad -1 vertising matter and four thou- WINIIIH. BARROW COI’NTY. CiA.. Till RSDAY.

Mincey, of Gaines ville, spent last Friday in and aroufid Winder on business and visiting friends. Mr. Mincey was one of the spien did citizens of parrow county un til buying a nice farm on the out - skirts of the above named city and moving there first of the present year. lie came to this county several .years ago from Lumpkin and rent led land. By using good judgment | and working hard and practicing I economy in all things he was able !to buy h farm and pay for it. His opportunities were no bet ter than hundreds of other men who still own no land, but he had a vision arid determination to succeed and own a farm. He sold his farm here Inst fall at a profit and iMiught the desira ble one on which he now lives. He is out of debt, and continue* to prosper. So many good men could have done as he liad they pursued the same policy. Mr. L. A. Fortson went up to Atlanta*last Wednesday on bus iness. it I.N .V ; VAH L,oyal Cmards Class Closes Big Contest The Loyal Guards Sunday school ( elas* of the .Winder ChvistiaiE in many respects is the most won derful class of young men to be found in any city the size of Win der in the state of Georia. This class, whose normal mem bership is 85 young men, has ac eoOplished great good during the past and every succeeding year ex tends its field of usefulness and does more things worth whil and the good of others. They are supporting two chil dren—a little girl and little boy— in the Southeastern Christian Or phanage of Atlanta and have con tributed liberally to missions and other activities of the church. A more liberal and congenial body of young men would be diffi cult to find, and their weekly con tributions have enabled them to always have a creditable surplus in their treasury to meet every emergency and the demands of charity. Mrs. W. O. Perry, who organiz ed this fine band of young men fourteen years ago, and who dur ing all these years has been thei rteacher, is devotedly attached to jtheO and feels it is the greatest 'class and the finest set of young Sunday school men in all the world Her whole heart and soul are in this work, which to her has been, one of love and service aflad for the abe has hoped to accomplish, and she feels a just pride in know ing her efforts have not been in vain, that they have been appre ciated by these young men, and that many of them who have gone from Winder during the years gone by have succeeded and made useful men and church workers where they have located. On Sunday, November 21, this class closed a contest which last ed through eight weeks, and on that day 155 young Oen were pres ent. They were divided into Reds and Whites, the class colors, with Guy .Jackson, Captain of the Rods, and Ralph Smith, Captain of Whites. The Reds won out by a small mar gin and were given an oyster sup per by the Whites last Monday ev ening in the basement of church, |at which there were 200 to eiijoy 1 his pleasant occasion. All the ministers of the city attended this supper and it Was an event that will long he remembered. W. C. Ross, President ; I. B. Jackson and N. F. Maffett, Vice Presidents; W. L. Mayne, Secreta ry and treasurer and Brady Hill, assistant, and all of the other Com bers of this marvelous class de serve much praise and commenda tion for their wonderful work and achievements which will tel? in the ages yet to come. j It is a pleasure to The Times to give the above brief account of jwliat these'young men have done and are doing and to further say to them that young Oen who take a deep interest in Sunday school work are always bettered. It gives them higher and purer ideals and aspirations and they are helping to elevate citizenship, improve the moral and spiritual lives of one another, which is the only life worth while and the only one bring ing real success and genuine hap piness. Mrs. M. J. Perry continues to im prove from her recent serious ill— ness.
