THE USES OF MONEY
The way a man uses money, makes it, saves it,
spends it—is perhaps one of the best tests of
character.
Money should not be regarded as the principal
end of life, nor should it be regarded with con
tempt, for it represents to a great extent the means
of mental and physical comfort, J
The finest qualities of human nature are related
to the right use of money, generosity, honesty,
justice and self sacrifice.
A little self-sacrifice, a savings account with this
bank and a determination to use your money right
(by saving it) will soon accumulate a snug bal
ance to your credit.

Powder Springs Ready
That the people of the enter
prising little city of Powder
Springs are thoroughly imbued
with the railroad building spirit
is clearly demonstrated in the
following clipped from The
Pioneer, a newspaper of that
city :
“A railroad will probably be
built from Carrollton through
Villa Rica to connect with the
Seaboard at Powder Springs.
This would mean something to
our town and this is the logical
point ot contact with the Sea
board.
“There has been some talk
that Hiram may get the new
road. Hiram may get it, but if
she does it will be because we
people at Powder Springs were
content to stay idle and not show
the promoters the advantages of
this place over every contestant.
“We have not learned that the
road is a certainty, but our sister
cities may rest assured we will
be on the spot in ample time.
“Our business mtn are keep
ing up with the movement, and
when the iron is ready they will
siriku and strike hard .
“The proposed road would
benefit the town much more than
the Seaboard, which is simply a
paralel road; and Powder
Springs would help the new road
vastly more than she helps the
Jeaboard for obvious reasons.
“So here’s a health to the pro
moters of the new road, here’s
the glad hand, here’s the hearty
wish, and Powder Springs has
everything else you wish.
Let us know when you can
hear us, and representatives of
the business men will tell you
some things.
“The road would run through
a fine section of country that
would develop with magical!
