HONEY TAR FOR Coughs Colds CONTAINS no opiates ©ur 25th Anniversary! On Friday, December 12th, 1913 The Jackson Banking Cos. Will Be Twenty-Five Years Old. An Honorable and Inter esting Career. A Bit of History. - The Jackson Banking Company commenced business on December 12th, 1888. It was the first and only bank be tween Macon and Atlanta on the Southern railroad for many years, It was chartered for a period of fifty years by the Legislature in December 1888, and the charter bears the signature of’Gen. Joltu B. Gordon, who was then Governor, Its incorporators were W. 8, Witham, A. H. Smith, F. S Etheridge, W, M. Mallet, L. T. Roberts and W. G. Solomon. Its first president w r as W. S. Withaiu, who served the bank for five years, and was succeeded by F. S. Etheridge, who has served as president for the past twenty years. Captain L. D. Watson served the bank as cashier for ten years, and was succeeded by F. S. Cater, R. P. Sasnett, A. F. McMahon and T. B. McMichael, the present cashier. The following directors have served the hank in the past, and with the exception of those who have “Passed over the River,” the most of them living today are now directors: Joel B. Watkins, Z. T. Buttrill, A. H. Smith, E. L. Smith, C. 8. Maddor, W P. Nutt, F. 8. Etheridge, L, T. Roberts, J. R. Wright, W. R. Weaver, W.. G. Solomon, J. R. Car michal, W. 8. Witham, Dr. A. G. Bryans and J. M. T. Mayo. The capital stock was at first $25,000, aud in 1891 was increased to $50,000. In 1908 the bank had accumulated a surplus of nearly $60,000, and as our charter would not allow any further increase in surplus, it was decided to organize a National Bank, and pay the stockholders of Jackson Bank ing Company oi e hundred (100) per cent, dividend in stock of the National Bank, and it was m this way that we disposed of our surplus. Since that time the bank fias accumulated a surplus of nearly $20,000-00 and charged oft nearly slo,ooo*oo loss. This loss was the money loaned Butts county. DIVIDENDS: \\e have paid during the the twenty five years .‘>oo per cent, in dividends. In the years 1908, 1909 and 1910 our stockholders went hungry, getting nothing for their investment as by resolution they agreed that they would neither eat nor drink until they had repaired the dam age done and regained their surplus which had been lost in a loan to Butts eouuty. We are not crying over our “losses,” but are happy in the feeling and hope that some good day, a quickened conscience will cause an honest people to arise in their majesty and might, to “right the wrong.” REAL ESTATE: All the property on the West side of the Public Square was ouce owned by the bank, except 30 feet. The buildings were erected by the bank and later 3old. These netted quite a profit. This brief history shows that the bank has been ENTERPRISING, AGRESSIVEand yet PROGRESSIVE* weathering during this time two or three severe panics. But for a loyal and faithful constituency our success would have been impossible. We have had faith in the people and the people have had faith in us. For this we are truly thankful. We covet the confidence and esteem of every man, woman and child in the county. We still offer our services to the public, accepting deposits, payable on demand ; time deposits, on which we pay interest. In 1938, 25years from now, our charter will expire, but we confidently expect a renewal extension of same at that time. We cannot but feel that our friends and the public per haps, would be interested in this recital of a “Bit ot History” eontiechd with this bank, which cannot be other than inspir ing, when the vicissitudes of a life of 25 years are past and considered. The retrospect at least is pleasing to those now charged with its welfare and future, and we cherish its past successes as one of our most valuable assets. F. S. ETHERIDGE, President. A. 11.

'j*he most recklessly extravagant women has a vein of economy some where in tier composition. Econo my in horn in h woman. It may not develop in a manner to prove bene ficial either to herself or her lam bond. Yet there will always be some point lit which she will took well te die pennies and think and calculate with the ablest financier. She may l) willing to pay SIOO for a gown, but wilt shop all over town ,to save ten cents a yard on the lining. She may spend $C> for a ride in the park, but she Will begrudge live cent* hi car fare whenjout shopping. She may stint the table at ope tfttie and be widely extravagant at another. Or ruin a whole garment by the d>ii* to finish it cheaply, which desire has rarrioriefuHy seined her at Hie last moment, but there is one thin ’ in which 'ahe never economizes. When she love*, she loves with her whole heart. There is no s^int —oti- Iv a giving of all the wealth ef her affection. Therefore do not langli at her little economies :siinplv remem ber that a woman must bo just made up of those contradictions that seem so ridiculous to the average mascu line mind. It will be all riirlit for Mrs. Lank hurst to stay in tlii country as tone as she doesn’t practice what she preaches or preach what she prac tices. \ Yon never heard of the voice or conscience talking anyone to death. ’A Good Wife. ”Bhe was a good wife to me. A good wife, God bless her.” These words were spoken in tremb iug ac cents over a coffin lid. The woman asleep there had borne the heat and burden of life’s long day. and no one nad ever heard tier murnier; her hand was quick to reach our in a helping grasp to tho> e who fell by wayside; and her feet were swift <m errands of mercy: the heart of the husband had flush and her; he had leit hei* to long hours of solitude, while he amused himself in scenes in which she had no pleasure or part. Children had len born to them. She had reared them almost alone they were gone! Her hand had minister and to their wants. Then she iiad comforted him. aud sent him out strong and whole— heartful while she stayed at home and—cried. What can a woman do blit cry—and trust? Well, she is at rest now. But,she could not die until tie had promised to “bear up” and not to fret, but to remember Imw happy they had been. They? Yes, it even so For she was blest in giv* lug. and lie in receiving. I was an equal partnership after all. “Ahe wan a good wife to me.” Ob man! man! why not have told her n. when lierearr were not dulled by death. The person thai tries each clay to do a little something that will can at* smiles to drive away tears; tliat will put sunshine into a sad heart; that will in a world make associates hotter and happier and more cheer* ful, that, perium is one of God’s nob lest creatures and is a benefactor to all mankind. Htuiles and cheerful words in this world are worth so much, Like the pebble dropped in to the lake, they muss the wave Jto tin on and on and on, rippling merri ly, and find lodgment in hearts. They are God's best agencies. Hope is aii anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast, tliat will steady onr frail bark while saili.ig over the ocean of life, and that will enable ue to outride the storms of life—a hope that reaches from earth to heaven. The hope is based on faith in the immaculate Redeemer and keeps our earthly hopes from running; riot into forbidden paths. The cable of this hope cannot he sundered until death cuts the trordiou knot null lets the prisoner go free. To live with* out it is blind infatuation—to die withp..t if, eternal ruin. L ive is often blotted but by a bard answer. VVbat dream <-t happi ness our home lives would be if every every angry retort could give peace to a soft answer. The divorce problem would not he agitated as it is today, ir a s.ft answer had pre vailed. The angry spirits of chil dren are not curbed in their infancy but are allowed growth. Without doubt it is a difficult problem and therefoie requires great strength of endeavor to solve the best mode of managing the individuality of eacli child. Let ns ail strive to attain tliat great control over our spirits, which will enable us to give a soft answer in return for an angry taunt. Then when tills goal of perfection is reached, how peaceful and happy our influence in our journey through life. Ten Good Command ments. 1. Thou shalt have no other food than nt meal time. 2.

Robert C. Ogden’s Life Rules. Keep faith in humanity. A man becomes what lie most de sires to be. Do not mistake a prejudice foru principle. Keep your intellectual ami spirit), ual life bright. Be energetic, wide-awake, posh ing. but patient. The world wants men who ar well equipped and worthy. False witness may be given by gesture or a grimace. Honor womanhood if yo.i would ki-ep faith in humanity. What a maivelous business mao’* guide is the Book of Proverbs. The longer you live, if you live light, the lees you will think of yourself. Be true. Stand up and believe in yourself, then oilier people will be lieve in you. A vigorous, healthy man has real ly onlv one rigid in the world, only one thing to demand, and that is a chance to work. In every life comes a crisis when conscious integrity gives a power and heroic strength that can come from no other source.
