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 b£ 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 penpies.
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 helpfuj as possible. That is why we
take a keen interest in your affairs.
Think it over.

COURT ADJOURNS TUESDAY
The March Term of Lamar Su
perior court adjourned Tuesday af
ternoon for the term, after a session
of four days last week, during which
' much civil business was disposed of,
and two days this week, devoted ex
clusively to criminal business. It
was perhaps the best session of the
court held since the county was cre
' nted, as many cases were tried and
finally disposed of and it is generally
agreed that the verdicts, with few
exceptions, met with approval.
Hon. E. M. Owen, as solicitor, is
an exceptionally acceptable prose
cuting officer. He rapidly dispenses
with business and has due regard for
the costs to the county. He is fair
to all parties and is deservedly popu
lar with all the citizens.
SCHOOL IpLaT POSTPONED
On account of the Masquerade
Ball that is to be given on Friday
evening, the play that was to be
given this Friday by the students of
the A. & M. School will be post
poned until Thursday evening, March
23. The public is cordially invited.
ANOTHER GOODDAY
BIG CROWD ATTENDED GOLDEN
RULE SALE MONDAY.
There was an imgiense crowd at
the Golden Rule Sale in Barnesville
Monday of this week, many of them
coming for many miles to attend.
The crowd was in a good humor and
spent a good portion of the day in
social greetings, besides looking after
purchases and attending to business
matters.
Mr. C. T. Tyler, auctioneer, had
an unusyally busy time, spending
considerable time in offering various
products brought in by farmers,
numerous of these products being
sold, and some others being with
drawn but later sold privately.
The merchants who had special of
ferings for the day did a fairly suc
cessful business, the sales, however,
being some smaller than.at some of
the previous sales.
It is generally agreed that these
sales should be kept up and a special
effort will be made to secure suffi
cient patronage to keep the sales go
ing through the summer months, un
til next fall when it is believed the
Golden Rule sales will be a chief
feature of the fall and winter busi
ness. The members of the Barnes
ville Advertising Club express the
purpose to keep the movement alive
and full of interest.
BASKETBALL CHAMPION
SHIP TO BE DECIDED
The Basketball Championship for
the High Schools of the Sixth Dis
trict is expected to be decided on
Gordon’s court next week, when some
very interesting games will be played
by visiting teams. Those of this
community who enjoy basket ball
contests will evidently have a treat
in witnessing the games which will
be played here.
Monday evening beginning at 8
o’clock the Boys’ teams of Thomas
ton and Molena will be matched
against each" other, in what promises
to be a sharp contest, which will be
fmmediately followed by an equally
strong match between the Girls’
teams of Concord and Molena. These
two games will hold the keen interest
of all who may be present.
Wednesday evening at the same
place the teams representing the
Zebulon school will play the winners
from the Monday evening contest,
and this, too, will hrpuse much in
terest and enthusiasm. All lovers
of the sport are invited and v expected
to be in attendance both Monday and
Wednesday evening.

The Willie Hunt Smith Chapter of

have never received Crosses of

warded to headquarters in time to
have the Crosses here by memorial

MISS SARA GRAY
AWARDED HONORS
It will be of considerable interest
to the many friends of Miss Sara
Gray to know that she has been
awarded the honor of being elected
to membership in Mu Fhi Epsilon,
the honorary sorority of the Con
servatory of Brenau College at
Gainesville, Ga. This sorority, is an
organization of Junior and Senior
students, chosen annually by the col
lege faculty for distinction in schol
arship, and in college activities. Miss
Gray is to be congratulated for hav
ing won for herself this honor. She
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 11.

A CAR-LOAD OF
LAMAR COUNTY HOGS
Mr. Charles 11. Matthews within
the past few days has bought a car
load of Lamar county hogs, which
will be shipped to Atlanta or some
other market. The car will contain
about 80 hogs, weighing on an aver
age of about 170 pounds, all in good
order and fine specimens of hogs.
Mr. Matthews paid the farmers about
SI,OJ>O for the hogs which make up
the car shipment. This shows that
hogs may be grown successfully and
profitably by farmers. A number of
growers sold hogs to Mr. Matthews,
and thus aided in making the ear
shipment. The cash will doubtless
come in handily at this time and may
;he used in conducting this year’s
operations. It is probable that nn
-1 other car load may be shipped later.
TELEPHONE SERVICE
TO BE IMPROVED
An important conference was held
in the City Hall Tuesday afternoon
between a number of citizens of the
city and Mr. VV. H. M. Weaver, Di
vision Manager of the Southern Bell
Telephone Cos., with headquarters at
Macon, regarding the installation of
better equipment and giving the
patrons better service.
A general discussion was entered
into and numerous suggestions were
made. Mr. Weaver contended that
Lhe prtsent equipment was the best
system for a place such as Barnes
ville, while others differed about that.
However, Mr. Weaver agreed that
the service which has been given here
abundantly justified the patrons in
making their complaint and he gave
every assurance that it would be
vastly improved at once.
DID BIG BUSINESS
Mr. Theodore Crowder, who has
just opened anew grocery store in
the room next to the Middlebrooks
Furniture Cos., had on some special
bargains at the Golden Rule sale j
Monday and did a big business. He]
knows the grocery business, having j
for years been associated in that line,
and his friends wish him much suc
cess in his venture.

Like Coat of Mail
The chain mail of old has given way to gentler
styles of clothing, but the principle, which once
made it invulnerable to lance and sword, still per
sists in this Wilson Bros. “Chain Knit” hose.
THE LINK A thread of twisted silk loops
through another, in a close springy
grasp;
THE CHAIN A thousand loops are added, each
one linked to its neighbors, tena
cious as a steel spring;
THE MAIL Deftly the fabric is shaped; and
doubled and trebled and bound at
points of strain.
And thus a “Chain Knit” sock is built; not for
everlasting wear; that was impossible even in the
days when the links were made of steel; but it
must wear longer than most.
