PESSIMISM
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 your bank, too. A bank
prospers as its patrons gain in wealth.
That is why wp 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.

SUPERIOR COURT
CONVENED MONDAY
The March Term of Lamar Su
perior court convened Monday morn
ing, this being the third term of the
superior court to assemble in the
county. There was a large crowd
present in the Masonic Hall at 10
o’clock when Sheriff Z. T. Elliott of
ficially opened ourt.
Judge W. K H. Searcy, Jr. of
Griffin, the Flint circuit’s excellent
and esteemed judge, was present to
preside during the term. Clerk S.
J. Childers called the juries and the
Grand Jury was soon completed and
sworn in, when Judge Searcy deliv
ered to them a strong, earnest and
very impressive charge, in which he
dwelt at some length on the spirit of
lawlessness which prevails locally
and in other parts of the world. He
greatly magnified the office of a
grand juror, showing how his in
fluence could affect conditions as to
law enforcement and violations.
Judge Searcy’s charge was one
which was calculated to produce
splendid results in the thinking and
conduct of our people.
The Grand Jury organized by
unanimously electing Ex-Mayor B.
M. Turner, of Barnesville, foreman,
Mr. H. E. Bankston, assistant fore
man, and Messrs. E. L. Coleman and
G. C. Bell, clerks. Mr. T. J. Hutch
inson was elected bailiff of the jury.
Hon. E. M. Owen, of Zebulon, so
licitor general of the Flint circuit,
one of the best solicitors in the state,
is being cordially greeted as the
State’s legal representative in all
criminal business.
The civil docket was taken up
Monday morning, when numerous
cases were disposed of this term by
being postponed, withdrawn, settled
or tried.
It is expected that court will
continue through tomorrow when ad
journment will probably be had until
next Monday, when the criminal
docket will be taken up.

up with us next Sunday. We are
also calling upon every member of
our school to co-operate with us in
increasing our attendance next Sun

a high grade of work is being done.
Last Friday night the Seniors gave
a party at the church which was
greatly enjoyed by a large number

40 of our young people expect to
study Training in Stewardship. This

These are inspirational rallies now
being held throughout the state on
the great work being done in our de
