ANOTHER GOOD DAY
SECOND GOLDEN RULE SALE
BIG SUCCESS AGAINST BAD
__ WEATHER.
Monday the Barnesville Advert
ising Club hid its seeond Golden Rule
Sale and again the merchants who
had special offerings and the farm
ers who offered products for sale are
highly gratified over the results. The
crowd was not so large as on the first
sale day in December nor the sales as
large in volume, but this is consider
ed due to the very unfavorable
weather which was threatened all day
Sunday and early Monday morning.
The roads were bad and in fact Mon
day in its early hours was disagree
able and evidently many people who
otherwise would have been here were
kept at home.
But there is not the least discour
agement expressed by any of the mer
chants and the next sale will occur on
schedule 'time the second Monday in
February. Some of the merchants
Monday had a large volume of busi
ness than they had on the first day,
due, perhaps, to the fact that they
had offerings of merchandise which
the people just happened to want at
that time. Some did not do so well
as in the first sale. But it is unani
mous among the members of the club
that the idea of the Golden Rule Sale
will grow more popular as it becomes
better known among the people of the
territory and they are determined to
advertise the next- Sale Day more ex
tensively, to offer even bigger bar
gains and if possible to have other
special inducements for all who may
visit Barnesville during the day.
Monday there were quite a number
of livestock, farm products and oth
er articles offered and sold by farm
ers, which proved an attractive fea
ture of the day. Numbers of farm
ers were pleased with what they saw
and accomplished here Monday.
The promoters of the Golden R'ule
Sale Day are hoping that farmers who
expect to have offerings preserf, for
sale will send the list of items in so
that they may be advertised in the
Golden Rule Sale News, which will
be sent all over this section and also
sent out through the News-Gazette
supplement. In this way it will be
known what will be sold and those
needing such products may come bet
ter prepared to buy.
The Golden Rule Sale Days are go
ing to become important events in the
business life of Barnesville and sur
rounding territory.
MR. WILLIS HAS FALL
Mr. W. H. Willis had a fall Satur
day as he was walking along Market
street, which slightly fractured a
bone, making it necessary for him to
remain in doors at his home on Thom
aston street. The people of the
.community will sympathize with him
deeply and earnestly hope he may
soo be able to be out again. “Un
cle Bill" is a greatly beloved Con
federate veteran who was as brave a
soldier as ever wore the gray and
while severely wounded a number of
times he showed a fortitude almost
unknown—apparently defying death
itself —and in spite of “Yankee shot
and shell” he has lived to a ripe old
age. May he yet be spared to see
many happy days upon the earth.
WOMAN’SBIBLE '
. CLASS ENTERTAINS
Mrs. J. M. Rogers and Mrs. Pierce
Owen were joint hostesses to the Wo
man’s Bible Class, at their monthly
business and social meeting at the
home of Mrs. Rogers on January
sth.
The Home was beautiful with its
ferns and pot flowers. The meeting
was presided over by Mrs. Dunn,
whom we were glad to have with
us again after being absent from
several meetings on account of sick
ness. After the business Mrs. Owen
passed paper and pencil and each
member was requested to write a
resolution • and express their wishes
for the class for the coming year,
these being collected and read aloud,
and will be filed in the archives of
our class room at Sunday School.
The hostess served a most delicious
salad course with hot tea.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
HAS SPLENDID YEAR
The regular annual meeting of the
stockholders of the First National
Bank of Barnesville was held in the
bank Tuesday afternoon, at which
a large majority of the stock was
represented.
Mr. W. B. Smith, president, and Mr.
L. C. Tyus, cashier, made reports on
the operations of the bank for 1921,
giving information in detail as to the
bank’s business and condition. These
reports made an excellent showing for
the institution. They showed that
the bank had operated very conser
vatively, taken good care of all its
customers, and yet had not had to
borrow but very little money and re
discount very little of its paper.
Through investigations and audits by
its own directors, by Federal and pri
vate examiners all its affairs have
been gone over in a most thorough
manner and the reports based on the
information thus derived show the
bank to be on an absolutely sound ba
sis.
Out of the earnings of 1921 the
stockholders have been paid a divi
dend of ten per cent. The surplus
and undivided profits are about SIOO,-
000. The capital is $50,000. The
cashier was congratulated on the
splendid showing made for the year’s
business.
The following directors were elect
d for 1922: W. B. Smith, R. A. Staf
ford, L. C. Tyus, T. J. Berry and B.
11. Hardy. The directors held a meet
ing following the stockholders’*Vneet
ing and elected following officers for
1922: W. B. Smith, president; R. A.
Stafford, vice president; L. C. Tyus,
cashier; F. G. Sims and N. A. Peacock,
assistant cashiers.
Mr. J. A. McCrary of Atlanta, a
large share holder and formerly cash
ier of the bank, was present and par
ticipated in the meeting to the pleas
ure of all j>resent. He was recently
re-elected a director of the Federal
Reserve Bank for the Sixth District,
with its headquarters in Atlanta, a
position which he has held for a num
i ber of years. He is chairman of the
Finance Committee of this bank and
is active and influential in its man
agement. Mr. McCrary stated that
! the First National was regarded by
j bankers generally as one of the very
I best banks in the southern states.
W. R. TYLER’S DEATH
CASTS GLOOM OVER CITY
Again yesterday morning a pall of
gloom hovered over our fair city as
j the news spread that the spirit of W.
R. Tyler was unfurling saiis for its
flight into the Great Beyond. Christ
mas shoppers paused and caught the
flying message “V/. R. Tyler just
died at the Belton Sanitarium.”
Friends knew of his illness, but un
til yesterday morning the brightest
messages of hopes for his recovery
were given out, but at six o’clcok
yesterday morning the Great Physic-
I ian took command and a hemor
age of the brain occurred and re
ulted in his death at 11 o’clock.
Mr. Tyler had been a resident of
Belton for the past four years and
engaged in the grocery business here
with his son under the firm name of
Spot Cash Grocery Cos. He was a
wide-awake citizen who stood for the
development of the city and com
munity and enjoyed the confidence
of a wide acquaintance of people.
Mr. Tyler came to Belton from Hill
county, where he resided for many
years. Prior to moving to that coun
ty, he resided in Temple for five
years where he engaged in the prac
tice of dentistry. He came to Tem
ple from Bamesville, Ga., where he
was born 63 years ago. The decea f
- was an active member of the
Methodist church and a Royal Arch
Mason .
He is survived by his wife and
two children, Miss Floride and C. A.
Tyler, both of this city. There also
survive hirn a brother, Charles T.
Tyler, in Barnesviile, Ga., and sisters,
Mrs. R. A. Stafford of Bamesville,
Ga., Mr3. J. T. Blalock of Palm Beach
Fla.
In the passing away of this high
charactered man, Belton is a heavy
loser, and the great crushing loss to
widow and family is too irrepar
able for human expression, and only
time and their great faith in the
workings of Divine Providence and
the sweet memory of the worthy lived
life of their loved one, can lighten
their laden crushing grief. Friends
by the score extend sympathy.—Bel
ton News, Dec. 22, 1921.
