The farms are the backstops' of our great national game of busi ness. They prevent us from going to pieces when threatened with, defeat. The safety of our democracy is absolutely propor tional to the number of prosperous farmers that we have. History shows that the decline of nations has begun when the number of its landowners began to decease. But the safety of our nation is not proportional to the number of farmers, but rather to the number of successful farmers. It may be as dangerous to have too many farmers as to havej too few. The farmer now has a position of advantage, if he will only take advantage of it. CITIZENS BANK FARM LOANS NOW AVAILABLE 1 19 N|WNAN STREET '•'VA CARROLLTON, GA. 28. 20. 30! 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 3G.

STRAND SATURDAY (This Week) JOHN GILBERT in “THE LOVE GAMBLER” (Western) 10c to All ALSO COMEDY 10c to All 10c To All System in Finance The ability to lay aside systematically a part of your weekly* or monthly income and make it work for you, is the chief element of success in this world. This applies when you save money for investment, old age or other future comforts. By planning to save systematically you make it possible to accomplish things that by ordinary meth ods of accumulating money seem impossible. We solicit small weekly or monthly deposits. THE PEOPLES BANK Exercising Judgment In The Expenditure Of Money It does not matter whether you earn two dollars a day or two hundred if you spend all you receive. The ultimate result is the same. It does not matter how much you earn, but it makes a big difference to you what amount you de cide to set aside that determines the future of you and yours. We do not assume the right to dictate what you should set aside and save, but— Those who gather nothing in youth will have the same amount in old age. The First National Bank L. C.
