BIG DAY MONDAY
—o
GOLDEN RULE SALE HIGHLY
GRATIFYING TO MERCHANTS
The first Golden Rule Sale by the
merchants of Barnesville took place
Monday and proved to b° highly
satisfactory. In fact, in several in
stances it far surpassed what was ex
pected and it is the unanimous opin
ion of those who belong to the
Barnesville Advertising Club and oth
ers that it should be continued. Prac
tically person who had an of
fering in the Golden Rule Sale re
ceived a fine patronage, the char
acter of the business, of course, hav
ing much to do with the volume of
the trade done during the day. Those
offering articles most needed at this
.eason of the year naturally did the
largest business and are most pleased
over the results of the day.
The crowd was fully as large as
was expected for the first sale, and
many people came from territory not
ordinarily represented in Barnesville,
nearly everyone who came doing
some trading with some of the stores
and carrying some of the bargains
back home with them.
It is generally agreed that the plan
is an excellent one and this was very
largely an experiment with our nxex*-
chants and business Tnen. About'
thirty business men of the city had
something special to offer or say in
the big double page advertisement
and in many instances genuine bar
gains were offered to the trade and
confined to that day only. When
the people find out that the Golden
Rule Sale means that real, genuine
bargains are to be offered, as they
will be, the crowd will continue to
grow and the trade will increase in
volume. ,
Farmers, also, shared in the busi
ness of the day, for quite a number
of farm products were brought in
and disposed of at public or private
sale. This, also, was anew and an
untried feature, but the success of
Monday’s efforts will prove an incen
tive for the future. Of course, the
tight money situation interfered with
the success of both phases of the
day’s purpose, for many people who
wanted to purchase merchandise or
farm products did not actually have
the cash with which to make the pur
chases.
However, there is much enthusi
asm prevailing among all the mem
bers who participated in the move
ment and they are determined to
make a bigger event and success the
next time. It was really a big day
and more than worth while, the ex
perience proving profitable and help
ful for better and enlarged plans
next time.
It is the unanimous verdict that
the plan should be continued and
every effort will* be made to make
the next Golden Rule Sale more at
tractive and beneficial than the one
Monday, as successful and as satis
factory as it was.

NOBLE WOMAN DIES
Mrs. Charles H. Matthews died at
the family home on Forsyth street
Friday night, her death causing much
sadness among all the people of the
entire community and vicinity, where
she was well known and greatly ad
mired for her many good qualities
of mind and heart.
Mrs. Matthews had been ill for
a long time with tuberculosis and
she had made a brave fight to re
cover her health and to live but she
realized her condition and was ready
to enter into her reward when the
time came for her to depart from
this world. She was a true Chris
tian, having great faith and during
all her illness exhibited a fortitude
and patience which won the admira
tion of everybody who came in con
tact with her. She was intensely de
voted to her husband and daughter,
her father and mother and other
relatives and they were like wise ten
derly devoted to her, leaving noth
ing undone which they thought
might be of service to her or in any
way add to her pleasure. She also
had hundreds of friends who were
exceedingly fond of her and deeply
concerned for her welfare and happi
ness. From the human viewpoint
it appears to be a great mystery why
such a woman should not be permit
ted to live throughout a long life
that she might be an inspiration and
comfort and help to a world which
so much needs such an influence
as she exerted.
The funeral service was held in the
First Baptist church Sunday after
noon, of which she was a consecra
ted and beloved member. Rev. Ar
thur Jackson, her pastor, paid her a
beautiful and deserved tribute, re
citing the many outstanding charac
teristics of her beautiful life. The
large concourse of friends present
and the many lovely floral offerings
attested the esteem in which Mrs.
Matthews was held throughout the
community. The body was tenderly
laid away in the Zebulon street
cemetery.
Mrs. Matthews selected the scrip
ture to be read and the songs which
were to be sung at her funeral,
which made the service all the more
impressive.
She is survived by her husband
and one daughter, her father and
mother, Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Taylor,
one sister, Mrs. G. White Jordan of
Thomson, and one brother, Mr. W.
R. Taylor of Florida, to all of whom
the people extend tender sympathy
in their sorrow over the going of this
good woman.
Card of Thanks
Words fail us when we try to ex
press our appreciation of the many
acts of kindness shown our loved one
during her long illness, and the lov
ing words of sympathy and beautiful
flowers sent in our great sorrow at
her going away. Hers was such an
unselfish, such a loving, kind nature
that every one seemed to wish to
do something to brighten her life,
and to all those who in any way
1 ministered to her comfort, we wish
to express our heartfelt thanks. We
would remember all, Pastor, Doctor,
Friends and Loved ones and even the
servants who were so kind to her.
C. 11. Matthews.
