A Neighbor’s Plan
ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS is quietly build
ing up a snug little fortune. You will be sur
prised some day and wonder how he did it.
But it is a very simple story.
This man does not have a large income. He
has never made a large savings deposit in his
life. Small deposits made every week is the
secret of this man’s success. His savings ac
count shows a steady climb for years.
The average man fails to win because he is
not willing to make] small savings deposits
and make them as often as possible.
Most any one can see the importance of
making a big deposit—but many fail to under
stand the value of the small ones.
Think it over.

A WORD ABOUT LAMAR
COUNTY FAIR FOR 1922
■ To the people of Lamar county:
The Directors of the Lamar Coun
ty Fair Association have authorized
me to state it is our purpose to hold
our second annual fair either on Oc
tober 9th or the 16th, continuing for
one week. Our fair last year was a
success from every standpoint and it
is our purpose to have a better fair
this year. W's enter the year 1922
with a feeling of optimism and we
ufge upon each and every one of you
to put forward a greater effort this
year than ever in your life. It is
more or Jess true that developments
of the past year make it evident that
a definite course in business for
the year is impossible. There i-e
-main too many unsettled problems
in the solution of which we are lack
ing precedent as a guide. Even the
settlement of those problems, which
are purely domestic in character, is
complicated by necessity for giving
consideration to the effect of this or
that upon the rest of the world. In
a situation which represents such va
ried and far reaching possibilities, it
is hardly to be wondered at that pre
dictions as to the progress of business
toward normal, while they may serve
to promote optimism, are not to be
accepted as infallible.
That the serious phases of the
( situation are now recognized , and
that plans are being perfected for
! meeting them is, in itself, distinctly
! encouraging. That there has been in
the past six months, a steady im
provement in business generally, war
rants the more optimistic tone in
creasingly evident in discussions by
bankers, merchants and farmers, of
the prospects for thg year. The in
creased activities in many lines of
business, and the development of a
fairly clear program of co-operation
between banker and business man,
suggests a basis for the growing be
lief that business is firmly set upon
| the upgrade and that with the com
: ing of Spring the effect of resump-
I tion will be felt in all lines of busi
ness.
If there was need of assurance of
the strength of the country’s finan
cial system, it may be found in the
accomplishment during the past year
of business depression, of the financ
; ing of railroads, municipal and state
i needs, and the placing of foreign
| loans, running into millions.
We repeat, that we enter the new
I year, 1922, with the knowledge that
| the worst is passed and that the
farmer is taking his place in the busi
! ness of the world in such a manner
as has never been known in the his-
I tory of our country, a place to which
|he rightly belongs. So let each and
every one take new courage, and go
forward with a determination to suc
ceed and we need have no fear of the
; result.
Let every one lend his or her in
-1 fluence to make the Fair this year,
one of the best, if not the very best,
in Georgia. Start early to make your
preparations and remember that it is
only through co-operation that we
shall succeed.

Lamar County P’air Association, i
NEW MILL NEARING
COMPLETION
The new wheat and corn mill be
ing erected by Mr. P. W. Ethridge
where the one was burned some time
ago, formerly known as Martin’s
Mill, is nearing completion and will
soon be ready for grinding.
Mr. Ethridge will have a much bet
ter plant than he had before the fire.
The building is more suitable and bel
ter arranged, the equipment is more
modem and of greater capacity and
it is understood that the mill will in
all probability be able to render even
more satisfactory service than the
old mill.
Mr. Ethridge is sparing neither
time or money in building a mill that
will fully meet the demands of his
trade and he will do everything pos
sible to give hi3 patrons a service
which will be all that they can reas
onably ask or expect. It is hoped and
believed that he will be given a large
business when his new mill is ready
for operating. He will turn out high
quality meal and flour.

MARIETTA DEFEATS
GORDON GIRLS
Friday, the Marietta team defeated
the Gordon Girls’ team, the first
time the local team had met defeat
this year. The final score was 2,7
to 11. The score at the end of the
first half was 12 to 8.
Although the two teams played
each other to a stand still in the
first half, Marietta’s experience be
gan to show in the second half and
they sodn piled up a safe lead.
The Marietta team’s advantage laid
in superior team work and foul
shooting.
Evelyn Matt and Lucy Talley were
the individual stars for Gordon.
Evelyn got in some fine shots and
Lucy broke up some threatening
plays. The entire Marietta five
played a fine game. Gordon’s jpass
ing was not quite up to standard,
which was one of the main reasons
she suffered 'tlefeat.
MR. MILNER IMPROVING
Mr. Polk Milner, who has been ill
recently with a severe cold or la
grippe, is improving and his friends
hope he may soon be fully recovered.
Few men are more highly respected
and honored among the citizens of
this community than Mr. Milner and
they regretted to know of his illness.
MRS.IAYGOODBETTER
Mrs. T. M. Haygood, who has been
ill at the family home on Forsyth
i street, the past few weeks, is improv
ing and it is the eames't wish of the
citizens of the entire city that she
may speedily and fully be restored to
i health.
