Capital $roo,ooo Surplus $100,000 THE FARMER \ The farmer, who borrows money at any sea son of the year, can successfully build up and maintain himself a liberal line of credit with this bank, just by leaving with us the money which he does not use during the winter months. 'Citizens flank Stand by the Law. Everybody ought to be exceed- ingly glad that the Legislature passed a law making a misde meanor lor anyone to kill birds in this County for the next two years It would have been better had they extended the time to five instead of two years. It - behooves everybody now, young and old to rigidly enforce this law. Those who have studied the cause says that cer tain birds exterminate the boll weevil and that every kind ot bird leed upon some kind of bugs and insects that are menace to VLgetataion. They also say that that this boll weevil that is so de trimental to cotton is fast forging its way to Georgia and as they are coming lrom the west our County will be among the first in Georgia to be bothered whh them . Every precaution should be taken to exlerinate them on their arrival and before they get numerous andjso it these birds devour them it is the duty of everyone io see that the birds are not killed. Someone took the time and pains to investigate some one who did so intelligently and his report of how much is saved the farmer each year by reason of the bird destroying vegetable eating bugs and insects is enormous. Let us all rememb er the old school child’s rhyme that said “Dont kill the birds, the pretty birds, That sing around your door, Soon as the chilling winter’s past, And Spring has come once more” It fishing of all kinds was stop ped tor five years we might have a few fish in our streams. They are to scaice in the wate rs in Carroll for fishermen to trap them lor market. E.M.Bass’Barn Burns Last Friday evening about 2 o’clock, Mr. E. M. Bass’s barn was discovered to be in a blaze.

CARROLLTON, GA. Villa Rica at the Fair The people of Villa Rica largely attended the A. & M. Fair at Carrollton last year, and hb the A. and M. fair belongs to all of us, we see no reason why we should not have a good res presentation there this year, and all we have to do is to wake up and go to work. Bowdon and other towns in the county will have a float in the great parade on opening day and whyJnot Villa Rica? Surely our town is not going to be be. hind the other towns in the county. Why not have a pure white float with placards about, “The Gold City” and about six of our handsome girls with a crown of gold—one representing the queen ot our town and the others her attendants. Then there’s the fair, where all may have space by writing to J. L. Heaton, the secretary at Carrollton. Now let us get busy and see that Villa Rica is pro^perly re p resented and has her frightful place in the grand parade.— Villa Rica Journal.
