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.

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.
