HORSES RUN WITH
ANCIENT VEHICLE
In the attainment of the Stamp
Day program, there was only one
near-acident which could have had
serious result*—one of the two spir
ited horses drawing the ancient car
riage belonging to the University of
Georgia, became unmanageable and
caused a run-a-way. Fortunately, the
harness broke. Three or four per
sons standing near the horses were
slightly injured, but with no serious
results. Earl Johnson, colored, was
driving and in the carriage were
Joe Sikes, owner of the horses, and
Nat Hancock. They were unhurt.
The result of the run-a-way was
that when the old vehicle, one used
in the days of Dr. Crawford W.
Long, came in review before the as
sembled crowd, it was drawn by two
fine looking mules that did not seem
to be disturbed by the colorful
crowd, the music nor the decora
tions.
Burglars And Pick Pockets
In Jefferson Monday
Several persons were relieved of
their poeketbooks while mingling
among the crowd here Monday. In
some cases only a few dollars was
stolen, but one person, we are in
formed, lost SIOO.
Mrs. F. P. Holder’s car was sto
len from in front of her house Sun
day night and a suit of clothes was
stolen from the car of Dr. Warren
Baxley, this car also being parked
in front of the Holder residence.
The car was found Tuesday morn
ing near Holly Springs and was
identified as the Holder car. The
gas tank was empty. Evidently the
thief abandoned it, because he had
no money to buy gas.

(Winder News)
Winder Wants State Park
We wonder how many people in
this section of Georgia know that
there is still standing within three
miles of Winder, near Center Hill
church, an old Fort that was built in
about 1765? ‘lt was called Fort
Yargo and was built when Winder
was known as Jug Tavern. Though
first in Franklin, next in Jackson,
then in Walton it is now in Barrow
county and has seen the coming and
going of five generations. Several
years ago the Sunbury Chapter of
the D. A. R.’s erected a marker at
the old fort but even now this old
land mark does not receive the at
tention it deserves.
Fort Yargo is located on the old
Wages farm and for a number of
years was used as a dwelling house
for tenants on the place. When the
doors and windows were cut prepar
atory for a dwelling most of the old
“port holes” were cut away but on
the side next to the spring is one
about 4 inches by 10 inches.
With this old land mark as an in
centive to build around, a commit
tee from the Kiwanis club has been
silently working on a plan to develop
a two thousand acre state park, that
will be called Fort Yargo Park and
will be developed around the old
fort, with the aid of the State and
Federal government.
