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. ,-JrYrJ®2:AL reserve; anrarßW •> ■ THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Barnesville, Georgia Brown’s Garage All makes of Batteries | Re charged and Repaired. We sell Vesta Batteries.

BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1922 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. W. M. WARREN, Pres., 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. o Messrs. Edward Daniel and Ray mond Walker, students at Mercer University, spent Sunday at The Rock, the guests of the family of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Daniel. 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.

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.
