Mr. Hodge was the head "oT the

these years he made rrWiny friends in
Bamesville.
He was an active member of the
Presbyterian church and was deeply
interested in every activity for good
in the town.
He was recognized as being one
of the best teachers of his subject
who has ever been connected with
our school. He left Gordon to be
come the head of the English depart
ment in the Senior High School of
Savannah and filled that position un
til his death.
Mr. Hodge is survived by his wife
and three children. His remains
were carried to his old home at

The sympathy of his many friends
in Barnesville go out to his family in
their bereavement.
GOLF CLUB MEETS
The Barnesville Golf Club held an
enthusiastic meeting on Monday
evening, making its plans for the in
coming summer months. At this
meeting were almost the entire mem
bership of the club, which consists of
aboit thirty bigness and profes
sional men of the city. It was de
cided by the club that it would re
new its activities during the present
year, and various committees were
appointed by the pesident to carry
out the plans made.
Among the plans of the club are
to hold monthly handicap tourna
ments, to select teams to compete
with the several golf clubs in middle
Georgia in competitive matches, and
to add in any way that it can to the
social pleasure of the town.
The club’s course is now being put
in excellent condition and will com
pare very favorably with any golf
course of the smaller towns of the
State.
The ladies or other members of
the families of any party belonging
to the club are especially invited to
play when they will, and it Ls hoped
that they will take advantage of the
course at their pleasure. The first
tournament of the season will be
held next week.

ville was the guest of Prof, and Mrs.
J. D. Smith for the past week-end.
CHICKEN INDUSTRY
GIVEN A BIG BOOST
GOLDEN RULE SALE MONDAY
MOST SUCCESSFUL YET
CONDUCTED.
The fifth Golden Rule Sale Mon
day, which included the sale of about
2,000 Lamar county chickens, which
put about $2,000 into the pockets of
the poultry raisers of the county, was
decidedly the most successful event
which the Bamesville Advertising
club has yet pulled off. It is freely
predicted that the big boost given to
the chicken industry will be worth in
itself more than all the money which
has been expended by the club in ithe
work and advertising it has done.
Messrs. H. A. Cliett, county agent,
E. P. Drexel, vocational agent, and
D. L. Anderson, secretary of the La
mar County Board of Trade, an
nounced last week that they wanted
a car load of chickens brought to
Barnesville Monday for sale and ship
ment. They had only a few days in
which to advertise for chickens and
as it was an entirely new venture for
the county many people were skep
tical about the success of the move
ment. However, Monday morning
people began to come in from the
various communities, bringing with
them all varieties and kinds of chick
ens. A chicken car had been pro
vided and placed on the track near
the freight depot and for a time it
looked as if there would be a big car
load. A representative of a Phila
delphia company was present to buy
everything in the way of a chicken
that was presented. As fast as the
chickens were weighed and the cal
culations made Mr. Cliett issued a
check on the Citizens Bank and tfie
sellers obtained the cash. So far as
we have heard the chicken raisers
were more than pleased with the re
sults. A good, fat hen brought any
where from SI.OO to $1.50 or more,
iri many cases the price proving a
gratifying surprise to the sellers.
Roosters also brought a good price.
Of course, so early, there were no
fryers, which would have brought a
jjpncy price.
The really a revelation
for the community and county, it
demonstrates that the poultry indus
try can easily be made a source of
great profit, and many people re
turned home determined to engage
more extensively in the enterprise.
The citizens of Lamar county by this
co-operative movement in growing
poultry can easily sell and ship a car
load of chickens every month, which
would bring them from $2,000 to
$5,000 a month. This would prove'
a great help. There would be ab
solutely no trouble to dispose of all
the poultry that can be raised if
brought together and sold in this way.
Messrs. Cliett, Drexel, Anderson
and others who assisted them in the
work Monday deserve the thanks of
the entire county in the success which
they made of the chicken sale and
the result should be such an inspira
tion that it will be the beginning of
great things in the poultry industry
for Lamar county.
The merchants who belong to the
Barnesville Advertising club express
themselves as being highly gratified
with their sales Monday, the day be
ing by far the most successful yet
conducted. The following illustra
tion will show how it works: Mr.
Clark Bush took in $l3O cash from
the sales of the two articles he of
fered in the day’s sale, embracing
articles priced at 50. and 75 cents.
Mr. A. H. English sold S3OO for cash
and says it was one of the best days
he has had in many a day. Other
merchants did equally as well, some
of them stating their sales doubled
or trebled their sales pn any previous
day.
Monday was a really great day
and demonstrated that the merchants
and business men of the city should
give hearty support to the Barnesville
Advertising club in the work it is do
ing.
FINE PROGRAM NEXT

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
In the policy which governs our relations with
our customers, there are three principles
which we believe are vital:
PRICE: The honest pricing of merchan
dise, to allow a fair profit and no
more;
QUALITY: Dependable goods, backed by
the responsibility of a national
manufacturer;
SERVICE: A sincere attention to the indi
vidual, which subordinates sell
ing to service.
In putting these principles above all others,
we must depend for success on your apprecia
tion of fair dealing. Will you not give us an
opportunity to vindicate our policy?
