O
Wealth Comes By Saving
No ONE should expect to get rich by speculation
or chance. Where one man accumulates a for
tune I*v speculation, hundreds go down in financial
bankruptcy by such methods. The only sure and
right way is to accumulate wealth by saving. Our
banks present a safe and secure way by which our
people chi* accumulate money and become indepen
dently well off in their old age. No need for any
body to he in dire poverty in old age If they will only
deny themselves a little along in life and plant their
giving in some good hank where these savings will
draw dividends while you work and sleep.
As an example of wliat systematic saving will do
the following figures will illustrate how any man or
woman can become independently well off by the time
they are fifty years of age If they will start to saving
when they are twenty years old, and deposit In some
good bank at 4 per cent interest compounded setnl
arjnually.
By depositing sls per month, you will have iu 30
years $10,417.05.
By depositing S2O per month, you will have in 30
years $13,844.80.
By depositing $25 per month, you will have iu 30
years $17,200.30.
By depositing $45 per month, you will have in 30
years $21,147.40.
There is nothing like forming the saving liahlt. It
htvnies just ns fascinating as spending and much
more profitable. Spending everything you make is
just a habit and a very foolish habit at that. Begin
to deny yourself and start a saving account and iu
just a short time you will thoroughly enjoy it.

Before the tax collector gets out of sight, along

This should be a great year in the history of Bar

Great Corn Crops
fpilAT there is money in the growing of corn is evi
*■ deneed by the report of two boys that were in
the boys corn club of the state, and who made reports
recently of their operations for the year 1922. The
two boys were Augustus South, of Camesville, Ga.,
and Leo Mallard, of Statesboro, Ga. Augustus South
made I.‘lB bushels on one acre at a profit of $118.68,
while Lee Mallard made a yield of 125 bushels on one
acre at a profit of $102.50.
These yields show that corn can be grown in Geor
gia at an outstanding profit. We believe that farming
can be made profitable in Georgia if our people will
give it their undivided attention.
O
A Splendid Official
Mil. 11. L. BUGG, receiver for the A. B. & A. rail
road, Ls to be congratulated on the splendid man
ner in which he has handled that property, in that he
took hold of it when it was alrout ready' for the scrap
heap and has placed it on a paying basis. And he has
done this in spite of strikes, poor equipment and the
depressed financial strain under which we have been
passing. A year ago, the people along this six hun
dred mile road were fearful that it would he junked.
Today it is more than paying expenses and is facing
un era of prosperity. And the splendid management
of Mr. B. L. Bugg has brought it all about. Tills is
what we call ability of the highest order. Anybody
can do things when waves of prosperity and inflation
come along, but the real heroes of the business world
are those who can stand up under the strain of oppos
ing conditions and take care of their enterprises in
spite of adverse surroundings. Mr. Bugg lias shown
himself such a man.
He is entitled to the best things of life and may
they come to him.
O
Our Luxuries
THE comforts and luxuries t.hat inventions and dis
coveries have brought us are often not appre
ciated by those who have never had to do without
them. We wonkier how our forefathers did without
the telephone, the auto, electric lights, steam heat
and the other many luxuries we enjoy that they know
nothing about. No doubt, if these conveniences were
taken away from us now we would he very unhappy,
for having experienced them, we woultl feel the loss
of them keenly.
But are we any happier for them all? Are we
happier than our grandparents, who had very few
of the comforts that we enjoy. We doubt it. lor,
are not the luxuries that really count those of the
mind and heart? Isn’t happiness an inner state of
the spirit rather than an outward condition that sur
rounds the body? I><> we need to have all these out
ward comforts in order to enjoy the beauties of art
and nature? These have been the common property
of all ages, and we neiHl not despise the simple lives
that our forefathers lived, for possibly they were
happier than we.
The greatest luxuries of lift' are spiritual rather
than physical.

Confidence Will Overcome
801 l Weevil
THE greatest obstacle, in my opinion, to overcoming
the boll weevil, is lack of confidence. Many seem
so discouraged that they are inclined to give up the
fight, whereas, if they would just study the situation,
they would see that other sections have overcome them
and are l>ecoming more prosperous than ever, and be
encouraged to put up a determined fight, using ap
proved methods for fighting them, and this section
would prosper as never before.
< >nc must have confidence, first himself, for if he has
no confidence in himself, in his ability to win, he will
lack that determination which is necessary for his
success. Arid if he has no confidence in himself he
cannot expect others to have confidence in him. And
it is unreasonable for one to expect others to place
confidence in Him if he distrusts them.
I believe the United States is the greatest country
In the world; that Georgia is the best state in the
union, and that Northeast Georgia is the best part of
tliis great state. If I didn’t believe that, and did not
have confidence in my neighbors ami friends, 1 would
move till I found a community whore I could place
confidence in most of the people.
Since we are here, let's put our shoulders to the
wheel, quit complaining, co-operate with all who are
trying to build up our section and do our best to make
a success of every undertaking.
"Then' is that scattereth and yet inereasetb, anil
there is that that w’ithholdeth more than is meet and
it tendeth to poverty.”—J. Frank Lee in Athens

A poultry association for Barrow county would be
a fine thing. There’s money in poultry and Barrow
farmers could pick up a lot of money in this way.
THE WINDER NEWS
How To Get What You Want
The following beautiful poein by Dr. Henry Van
Dyke .should lie read by everybody and its splendid
sentiments adopted by us all:
There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and true;
Then give to the world the best you have
And the best will come hack to you.
Give love, and love to your life will flow,
A strength in your utmost need;
Have faith, and a score of hearts will show,
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth, and your gift will he paid in kind,
And honor will honor meet;
For a smile that is sweet will surely find,
A smile that is just as sweet.
For life is the mirror of King and Slave,
’Tis just what we are and do;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to you.
