A Neighbor’s Plan
ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS is quietly build
ing up a snug littlefortune. 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.

THE NEW JAIL
Lamar county’s new jail is about
complete, the Manly Jail Works of
Dalton, Ga., the contractors, having
about finished the work of placing
the cells in, leaving only a few un
important things to complete.
The Jail will evidently be one of
the neatest and safest little jails in
the state. Its normal capacity is'for
sixteen prisoners, with three distinct
apartments and additional room may
be provided in the case of emergency.
The equipment throughout is the
best that can be produced for such
purpose and it is believed that the
jail will provide ample accommoda
tions for the county for several
years to come. The total cost to the
county is $5,490.
