ADVERTISING CLUB
FORMED MONDAY
■MEMBERS NECESSARY SECURED
AND ENTHUSIASM PREVAILS
FOR THE PLAN ’OUTLINED.
The Bartlesville Advertising Club
was organized Monday afternoon at
a well attended meeting in the City
Hall. There were merchants, bank
ers and other business men present
and after the object and plan of the
organization had been explained
nearly everyone present became a
member, agreeing to pay the annual
fee of $lO. The additional members
necessary to insure the organization
were easily secured from among
those not present, the number neces
sary being thirty.
Mr. G. R. Lowe, representing the
Atlanta Advertising Club, and the
originator of the Neosha plan, which
has worked very successfully for
several years wherever tried, ex
plained in detail the plan and the
way it has worked elsewhere and
what was necessary to make it a suc
cess. He was listened to very at
tentively and made a convincing talk.
Dr. Frank L. Hardy of Newnan told
of how successfully the organization
had recently been operated in New
nan and gave it as his belief that it
would prove a good thing for Barnes
ville. Mr. J. F. Bazemore, agricul
tural agent of the Central railroad,
also told of how it was working in a
number of towns along the line of
the Central.
Involved in the organization is the
putting on in Bamesville a monthly
Golden Rule Sale, in which real and
genuine bragains will be offered the
public by the merchants who are co
operating in the movement. On the
same day it is expected there will be
an auction sale of farm products by
the farmers of the territory. At this
time there will be offered anything
farmers may want to dispose of, sitch
as live stock, farm machinery or fafrm
products. All this will be given fully
to the public before the sale tales
place, go that everybody will have
the opportunity to participate, eith
er as sellers or buyers. These sales,
according to reports, have' been emi
nently successful at many other
places, in the south and in Georgia,
as well as in the west where the plan
was first put in operation and where
it is continued with enthusiasm by
merchants, farmers and other busi
ness men.
At the conclusion of the discussion
a ballot was taken for officers for
the coming year, which resulted as
follows: J. T. Butler, president; A.
H. English, vice president; D. E.
Kleckley, secretary-treasurer.
There will be important announce
ments for the public at an early date.
TO OUR FRIENDS
AND CUSTOMERS
Bamesville, Ga., Nov. 11, 1921.
After a careful and diligent study
of business conditions and for the
betterment of SERVICE and to keep
LOWER the cost of merchandise to
our customers, which is in thorough
keeping with the fundamentals of
our business—STYLE, VALUE and

CASH POLICY, and believe by so
doing SAVINGS will be effected for
all alike, with no hardships upon
anyone.
Therefore, on and after November
15th, no charges or tickets will be
made.
This step is not taken because of
lack of appreciation of your valued
patronage in the past—but for an
absolute VALUE protection in the
future. On this promise we ask your
helpful co-operation.
Again thanking you for your part
in helping to make our store “An
Institution” in the community, and
believing you will lend your further
help, as long as we do our part, by
co-operating in this new movement,
we beg to remain,
Yours very truly,

STORES TO CLOSE
The News-Gazette is requested to
announce that all the stores of
Barnesville will be closed all day
Thursday for Thanksgiving Day.
They will not open at all Thursday.
This is right and proper. The peo
ple will govern themselves accord
ingly.
MEETINGS CONTINUE
The meetings at the First Baptist
church are continuing this week as
last but will probably close with the
service Friday evening this week.
Large crowds have attended all the
services, those at the Mildred Thea
tre in the afternoon and at the
church in the evening, both places
being crowded and at several ser
vices there was hardly room to ac
commodate the people who attended.
Dr. Frank L. Hardy, pastor of the
Central Baptist church of Newnan,
has done all the preaching and has
made a wonderful impression on the
people of the community. His ser
mons have been interesting, practi
cal and convincing. He is a great
preacher and it has been a great
privilege to the large congregations
to have had the opportunity to have
heard him during this meeting.
There have been quite a number
of additions to the church and much
good has been accomplished.
MEETING OF MITE SOCIETY
The Groups of the Mite Society
met last Monday in a business meet
ing in the annex of the First Baptist
church. After a song and prayer
each group gave its report. It was
wonderful how much they had done
toward benevolence, visiting the sick,
etc., in just one month’s time.
Miss Lillian Mitchell, our dele
gate to the Macon Convention of the
W. M. U., gave us a very vivid ac
count of the Convention in her most
pleasing style, which was enjoyed by
ail present.
The Society was delighted to have
our president, Mrs. E. Langford,
back after an absence of a number
of weeks on account of sickness in
her family. Her work in the Socie
ty being so excellent she was great
ly missed. Quite a number of the
ladies were present. We were glad
to welcome those who had been sick.

HUNTER’S" LICENSES
Those who wish to secure License
to Hunt in Lamar, costing SI.OO, or
State License, costing $3.00, may
obtain same in the office of the
Clerk of the Superior Court upon ap
plication there.
A Hunter’s License does not allow
hunting on anybody’s land without
permission. I have had complaint
already that hunters were trespassing
upon the lands of others, which is
contrary to law.
Every true sportsman will encour
age and aid wardens in the enforce
ment of the law and report infrac
tions of the law.
