Marshburn BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA 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. reserve^ THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Barnesville, Georgia Brown’s Garage All makes of Batteries Re charged and Repaired. We sell Vesta Batteries. Get our prices.

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. —Press Reporter. MRS.

Willard next Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the home of Mrs. W. B. Smith, an inter esting special program having been arranged for the meeting. All the members and others are invited to be present to enjoy the occasion. 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. GOOD CITIZEN DIES Mr. Frank Foster, one of Lamar county’s good citizens, died at his home in Redbone district Monday morning. He was 69 years old and had been ill only a few days. He had never married. An unmarried sister lived with him. He was highly esteemed by everybody who knew him. MRS. SAM BRiTT DIES Mrs. Sam Britt, who has numerous relatives through this section, died at her home in Jackson, and was buried at Locust Grove. Rev. J. M.
