BEST DAY YET
Golden Rule Sale Monday Biggest
and Best Day In Years.
Golden Rule Sale day Monday was
the biggest and best day Barnesville
and Lamar county have had yet. The
sales of the merchants who had ad
vertisements in the Golden R*ule
News offering special bargains for
the day were highly gratifying, prov
ing to quite a number of them the
best they have had since these special
sales were begun. The merchants
got the cash and the customers got
bargains with which they were per
fectly satisfied. Several merchants
took in hundreds of dollars in cash,
much of which was the result of pui’-
chases on the items mentioned in the
special offerings. The day brought
men, women and children from terri
tory far removed from Barnesville,
visitors being present from territory
at least fifteen and twenty miles
away. It was a great day as to the
business done by the merchants.
The first sale Miss Mattie Elliott,
the enthusiastic woman member of
the advertising club, made Monday
was to a party from Jacksonville, Fla.
A copy of the Golden Rule News had
fallen into the hands of this party,
somewhere on the way from Jackson
ville, and seeing the articles adver
tised by Miss Elliott a sale resulted
and thus some Jacksonville money
was left in Barnesville. This is just
'one of many other similar instances
of profit from these Golden Rule
Sales.
It was a greater day on account of
the Hog Sale. Early in the day peo
ple began' to arrive with their auto
mobiles, wagons and buggies loaded
with hogs, all kinds of hogs, in breeds,
sizes and colors. The results were
astonishing to everybody, for few
realized that the hog sale was going
to be such an immense success. The
members of the Barnesville Adver
tising Club and the Lamar Board of
Trade, co-operating with Mr. H. A.
Cliett, County Agent, and Mr. E. P.
Drexell, Vocational Agent, had made
every arrangement for weighing,
grading and shipping the hogs. Ex
actly 196 hogs were brought in and
put in the sale. Mr. M. C. Gay, mar
ket agent of the State College of
Agiculture, was present and graded
the hogs. He soon demonstrated
that he thoroughly knew his business.
Mr. Gay stated that it was a fine lot
of hogs, which was proved by the
fancy price they brought.
The White Provision Cos., Atlanta,
bought the entire two cars on the
basis of $9.15 per 100 for number
Ones. This was much better than the
farmers were expecting to receive
and everybody was rejoicing over the
splendid success of the sale. It has
given a big boost to hog industry.
The total amount paid for the hogs
through the First National Bank
was $3,096.61.
It was a great day for Barnesville,
Lamar county and the farmers and
business men.

NOBLE WOMAN DIES
Mrs. W. A. Prout died at the fam
ily home on Zebulon street early Sun
day morning after being an invalid
for about three years, much of this
time being confined to her bed. It
had long been known to her loved
ones and friends that she could not
get well and that it was only a ques
tion of a short time when the in
evitable end would come.
The funeral was held Monday
morning at the First Baptist church
of which she was a devout and faith
ful member, R'ev. Arthur Jackson, the
pastor, conducting the service and
paying her a beautiful tribue. He
spoke tenderly of the affection which
existed in the family and how the
different members looked after her
every want and rendered her every
possible assistance. He told of her
abiding faith in her Lord and of how
during all her illness she radiated
sunshine and cheer to those who were
about her. It was a very impressive
talk and was appreciated by all who
knew the life of the good woman.
The floral offerings were especially
beautiful and literally covered the
rostrum and railing around the choir,
presenting a scene which in itself was
a lovely tribute to the departed
friend and a token of the esteem in
which her family was held by the
people of the community. The body
was laid away in the family lot in
Greenwood cemetery.
Mrs. Prout was 67 years old. She
was one of the best known women
of the community. Until her health
gave way she was active in the church,
social and civic life of the city. She
was the life of any gathering of
friends and in every good enterprise
she more than did her part. She had
a happy disposition and had the rare
faculty of making everybody around
her happy. During all her long ill
ness she retained her usual cheerful
spirit, never complaining but rather
radiating joy among those about her.
Through it all, even until the last
week of her illness, she directed the
affairs of her home, keeping every
thing going in proper order,-showing
what a remarkable woman she was.
Mrs. Prout had hosts of friends and
deserved them, all of whom will miss
her and mourn her going.
She is survived by her husband,
Judge W. A. Prout, one of the most
respected and honored citizens of
Barnesville, one daughter, Mrs. L. S.
Fifield, three sons, W. A. Prout, Jr.,
and Paul and Garland Seaman, to all
of whom the tender sympathy of the
people of the entire community is ex
tended in the great-sorrow which they
are called upon to endure on account
of the death of this good woman.
CAPTAIN HOBSON SPEAKS
Captain Richard P. Hobson, cele
brated prohibition leader and lectur
er, former Alabama congressman and
Merrimac hero, delivered a strong ad
dress at Gordon auditorium Tuesday
evening, making a strong appeal for
the enforcement of the prohibition
law as embraced in the Eighteenth
amendment and also showing the evil
of alcohol.
Captain Hobson made a number of
startling statements during his lec
ture as to the effects of alcohol on
the human species and made a con
vincing argument against its use. He
also told of the efforts the whisky
trust of the world was making to
make the cause of prohibition a fail
ure in the United States. He spoke
of the efforts and influence of the
foreign born citizens of the country
in an effort to nullify the Eighteenth
amendement and earnestly appealed
for the support of the cause of the
Anti-Saloon league in behalf of
America and the world.
Captain Hobson was heard with
keen interest by a large audience and
he unquestionably made a powerful
impression. He was introduced to
the audience by Dr. E. T. Holmes.

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?
