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 GOOD WOMAN
PASSES AWAY
Mrs. J. L. Pitts died at the family
home on Greenwood street last Fri
day, after a long illness during which
she had been a great sufferer. For
three years she had not been out of
the house and for months she had
been practically blind and a constant
sufferer from the disease which af
flicted her. She often expressed the
willingness to be called to her heaven
ly home to be relieved of her pain and
suffering.
Mrs. Pitts was 68 years old and
was a noble Christian woman. Be
fore her marriage to Mr. Pitts fifty
one years ago she was Miss Ada
Gardner of Adaisville. During this
long time she and Mr. Pitts have
lived happily together, each being
tenderly devoted to the other.
With remarkable love and patience
the husband devoted himself to her,
providing every possible comfort for
her day and night, giving himself en
tirely to looking after her and in try
ing to supply her every want. Her
children also were tender and true
and she was constantly expressing
her appreciation for their love and
thoughtfulness.
The funeral was held Monday
morning at 10:30 o’clock at the
home, Rev. H. L. Edmondson, pastor
of the First Methodist church, con
ducting it, after which the body was
buried in the Greenwood cemetery.
A large congregation assembled to
pay their last loving tribute to her
memory.
Mrs. Pitts was an unusually good
woman. Before her health failed
she was ever ready to render every
possible service to those who might
be in need. She was appreciated by
all her neighbors and they greatly
loved and respected her. She was a
faithful and helpful wife and mother
and friend and has left a name and
influence which will honor her
through the years to come.
She is survived by her husband, an
honored citizen of the community,
one son, Mr. Hillary Pitts, now of
Ardmore, Oklahoma,, and three
daughters, Mrs. H. H. Gray, of Car
rollton, Mrs. J. A. Corry and Mrs. J.
A. Moore of this city, to all of whom
the tender sympathy of the people is
extended in their great sorrow.
WOMAN’S BIBLE
CLASS ENTERTAINS
On Thursday afternoon, February
9, Mrs. Edgar Hale and Mrs. J. B.
Sims were joint hostesses to the Wo
man’s Bible Class for their monthly
business and social meeting at the
home of Mrs. Hale.
Although the weather was far
from inviting, there was a good at
tendance, and the home was bright
and cheerful, being a model of love
liness, with the fragrant air of home
life rendering it still more inviting,
we spent a most enjoyable afternoon
at this lovely home.
The meeting was presided over by
the president, Mrs. C. M. Dunn.
After all regular and special busi
ness was disposed of we were de
lightfully entertained with a piano
solo rendered by Miss Marion Bush,
and a reading by Miss Zedene Home,
which was enjoyed very much. Then
our hostesses, assisted by Miss Hale
and Mrs. Ogletree, served a most de
licious salad course with hot coffee.

ANOTHER GOOD DAY
BIG CROWD HERE MONDAY AND
TRADING WAS BRISK
The third Golden Rule Sale by the
Barnesville Advertising Club was
held Monday and it proved to be
very satisfactory, proving again that
the plan is one which should be
heartily endorsed and supported by
all the merchants and business men
of the city and by the farmers of the
county and section.
Notwithstanding the inclement
weather in the early morning, which
prevented many women attending,
there was a large crowd present,
many of them coining from territory
ten and fifteen miles away. People
were here Monday who are rarely
ever visitors in the city and the day
was voted a big success, everybody
enjoying the mixing and mingling to
gether and the fellowship which pre
vailed.
Some of the merchants who had
special offerings were highly grati
fied with their sales, while some oth
ers did not do quite so well, the offer
ings themselves, of course, having
much to do with the results.
Farmers brought in many articles
and placed them on sale at auction,
Mr. C. T. Tyler rendering fine service
as auctioneer, in the clever way in
which he discharged this duty. Quite
a lot of business was done in this
line and it held the crowd for a good
part of the day. It is proving a very
attractive feature of Golden R'ule
Sale day.
The Barnesville Advertising Club
is rendering the city and vicinity a
splendid service in conducting these
Golden Rule Sales and they should
be continued. When the weather for
spring and summer opens up the pro
grams and crowds will evidently
prove of considerably more interest
and will doubtless be even more
profitable to all parties concerned.
Hon. T. R. Talmadge of Forsyth,
manager of the Southern Cotton Oil
Cos. there, was present Monday and
made a helpful talk on the produc
tion of peanuts, which wa? appre
ciated by those who are endeavoring
to diversify and thus meet the boll
weevil conditions which now prevail
in this section.
The Gordon Cadet Band was pres
ent and furnished some excellent
music for the occasion, which was
greatly enjoyed and which added
much to the pleasure of the day.
GEORGIA DAf PROGRAM
A splendid and profitable Georgia
Day program was rendered at Gordon
auditorium Friday afternoon last
week, the program being arranged
and worked up by Miss Johnson and
others among the teachers of Gor
don. There was a good crowd pres
ent, consisting of students and citi
zens of the city.
Numerous students participated in
the program, representing in an in
teresting way the history and life of
Georgia.
Besides the program by the students
there were other numbers, among
them a beautiful song by Mrs. H. E.
Armstrong, a reading by Miss Zedene
Home, and a reading by Prof. C. M.
Eyler, all of which added much to
the entertainment and instruction of
the audience.
The principal address was made
by Rev. Ar hur Jackson, who gave
many interesting incidents connected
with the early settling of Georgia.
The address was a splendid one and
was very much appreciated.
Dr. E. T. Holmes, president of
Gordon, presided and also made ap
propriate remarks regarding some of
Georgia's famous citizens.

Mr. Frank Foster, one of Lamar
county’s good citizens, died at his
home in Redbone district Monday

esteemed by everybody who knew
him.
MRS. SAM BRiTT DIES
Mrs. Sam Britt, who has numerous
relatives through this section, died
