COMMUNITY INTERESTS
And Opportunities.
Your money in the bank is in active use and benefits the
community in which you live, and where all your interests
are. It is money in circulation-it plants the fields and moves
the crops to the market.
But many people miss golden opportunities to make money
by their failure to entrust their funds to a bank that can
and will respond to their needs when in net and of additional
funds for an investment. Depositors of this bank will tell
you that they have never asked for a loan and failed to get
it if entitled to it. This bank takes pride in its ability at all
times to render this sort of assistance to its customers.
The mission of this bank is to serve and its desire is to con
tinue to grow. Our growth means greater ability to serve
our customers. If we are not already serving you, let’s talk
the matter over.

important Notice To
LaFayette Lodge Members
At the last fegular communi
cation a committiTwas appoint
ed to look for a building site,
and investigate building condi
tions for anew Masonic home.
The committee will report at
the next regular communica
ition, the first Tuesday night in
October, and all members of
the lodge are earnestly inquest
ed to be present, as the matter
will be discussed thoroughly
then and decisive action be tak
en. As you know at the recent
bond election, bonds carried
and anew school building will
be erected in the near future,
after which in all probability
the present school building will
be used for dormitory purposes
Aside from the fact that the
present Masonic room is entire
ly too small, many brethren
feel that if the present school
building is used for a dormito
ry that our present lodge room
would not longer be a suitable
meeting place.
Work will be done in the Mas
ter’s degree, commencing very
promptly at 7 o’clock eastern
time in order that all business
in hand may be transacted be
fore too late an hour.

Card From Sheriff Merritt
To the people of Forsyth Cos.:
A large number of my friends
are asking me to make the race
for Sheriff in the general elect
ion to be held in November.
I have the matter under ad
visement and will make my de
cision known to the people
soon, in ample time for the cam
paign this fall.
Respectfully,
W. T. Merritt.
Tom Watscm To Speak.
Eugene Baker, Secretary of
the Northeast Georgia Fair at
Gainesville wired us late Wed
nesday afternoon, to say to the
people that Hon. Tom Watson
will speak at the Fair on Octo
ber sth at 11 o’clock.
This is the opening day of
the Fair, and we venture the
I assertion that there will be an
immense crowd there.
Go over and hear the next
United States Senator speak.
Let Delco Lights do your
housework. Don’t break your
wife’s health down.
Delco Lights are cheaper
than Doctors bills.
See what Mr. Roy Strickland
says about Delco Lights in an
otner commit of this paper.
Cancelled Checks
Often we are called on to produce cancelled checks
which settle an account in dispute.
There is no araueing about the evidence—the check—
its amount, endorsement and date are final.
Is it not strange that there are still some people, who
do not apnly this insurance against double payment to
their own personal bills?
And it does not cost anything either.

AUCTION SALE
Saturdays Oct, 2nd
At 10 O’clock, a. m., we will offer for sale to the
highest bidder the remaining lots unsold on acc< unt
of ; _fJ September 4th. These are the largest
an&uriost* beautiful lots in the tract, and any one
w
desiring a home in Cumming will make a mistake
nut to be present and buy one.
Cumming is destined to be one of the best school
centers in north Georgia, and we are sure of one of
the best government highways in the state and with
this Cumming should be a city of 2,000 people.
So if yoj ever expect to get a home at your own price
better get it while you can.
Some Fine Farms
Also at the . sametime we will sell 477 1-2 acres of land, sub-divided into small
farms of from 28 acres to 70 acrers to the farm. This land lies within a quarter of a
mii e of the incorporate limits of Cumming running back at the farthest about 2 miles.
Fr
There is a million feet of lumber on this tract, and enough wood to furmgh Cum
miim for twenty years. Each tract will be divided so as to have plenty of wood, wa
ter and timber for necessary purposes. There are three good water falls, any one of
which should furnish sufficient power for lighting Cumming. There are two good ceil
ed houses, and three or four old houses. It is practically all a good strong grade of
red land.
With wood selling at three dollars a load and six to eight dollars a cord, why can’t
any one who wants to, buy and pay for a tract with the wood, when others are mak
ing money now hauling it 8 or 10 miles.
I am selling this land because I can not develop it myself, and I know there ar e
scores of men in Cumming and Forsyth and adjoining counties, who need and can use
the different tracts to great advantage to themselves and the community.
The terms of sale will be one-fourth cash, or good note, balance 1, 2 and 3
years, with interest at. 7 per cent.
Plats of this land will be ready as soon as the Surveyor can make them.
