PESSIMISM
DISPELLED
When you see the bright,
dazzling, nifty new goods we
are receiving for Spring.
The temptation to buy is so
great you will cough up the
crimped dollars that you have
been hoarding away to buy.
The broad market has been
sifted to cull the most attrac
tive items that can be sold at
near pre-war prices.
Small profits and quick turn
overs will be our motto for
1922.
Odd cents may appear a fake
but it will save you pennies.
Come and see our new arri
vals, and be convinced that
they are gems.
You will find competent help
at your service, which will
gladly give you aid in your
selections.

Look Over This Paper
IF YOU WILL take the trouble to read all the
advertisements in this paper, you will find
that nearly every one of them asks you to
spend money.
This one does not —it suggests that you in
crease your wealth by wise investments; by
safe banking habit; by saving and thrift.
Your bank can help you grow in wealth. And
as you grow in value to yourself you will
grow in value to your bank, too. A bank
prospers as its patrons gain in wealth.
That is why we can afford to make our ser
vice as helpful as possible. That is why we
take a keen interest in your affairs.
Think it over.

MAKINGHNE
SUPERINTENDENT
Mr. A. B. Childs, son of Mr. E. P.
Childs of Barnesville, is fully sus
taining the fine reputation he has es
tablished as a superintendent of hog
farms, having had splendid success
at several south Georgia and Florida
farms, having recently accepted the
position as superintendent of the
Berryton Farm near Rome. There
was a big auction sale held there re
cently which was pronounced an un
usual success and Mr. Childs was
given the credit for a large part of
the success. His friends in Barnes
ville and community will be glad to
know of his continued progress in
the business.
STORE BROKEN INTO
The store of Messrs. Berry and
Whatley was entered Monday night,
from a window in the rear, and a
cash drawer emptied of something
like $2.50. So far as could be ob
served no merchandise of any kind
was stolen and it appears to be the
work of some boy, who warded some
small change. There is no clue as
to the guilty party.
MADE FINE IMPRESSION
Dr. W. F. Quillian, President of
Wesleyan Female College, Macon,
preached twice at the First Methodist
church Sunday and taught the Sun
day School lesson for the Men’s Bible
class of the church at Sunday School.
He made a very fine impression, his
sermons and the talk being regarded
as among the best ever heard here.
Those who heard him Sunday hope
he may often return to preach or
lecture here.

continues to increase. The best
work is now being done lhat has
been done at all. Recently a course

very enjoyable social hour a the
Church Annex. Friday evening of
this week the Seniors will have a
social.
