Two Men on a Train
'T'WO TRAVELING MEN were on the train
one day as it drew near the station. As
they prepared to get off one of them said:
“What Bank do you do business with here?”
“Why, the First National, of course,’’the other
replied. “We always select The First National
in every town where there is such a bank. We
have found it a wise thing to do.
“We always know that a First National is
governed by the national banking laws; that
it is under the strict supervision of the Gov
ernment at Washington and that it is a mem
ber of the great Federal Reserve System. These
banks always have plenty of Capital as well as
good, reliable stockholders. We find them a
good choice all over the United States.”
What would you think about it?

GOOD EXHIEIT SHOWN
The Grammar School Exhibit will
be open to the public beginning Sat
urday morning, May 27th. Every
one is cordially invited and urged to
go see the work done by the children
during the year.
The exhibit will show what has
been done in drawing, paper cutting,/
clay modeling, card board construc
tion, stenciling, sewing and story il
lustration.
Special attention is called to the
sewing as some of the children had
never sewed before. The aim in
teaching sewing was not placed on
the kind of materials but for each
child to use his individuality and the
kind of material he could afford.
THE LOST PRINCESS, BO PEEP
The play by the little folks of the
Grammar School, which is always one
of the chief attractions of commence
ment at Gordon, will be given Friday
evening this week and a large crowd
as usual will be present. Scores of
the little folks of the city will be in
the interesting play, which will make
it especially attractive to nearly all
the grown people.
The story is one that will hold the
attention of everyone and it will
doubtless be up to the usual success
attained by these little people in giv
ing an unusually fine entertainment.
IMPORTANT P. T. MEETING
There will be an important business
meeting of the Parent-Teacher Asso
ciation immediately after the exer
cises next Monday afternoon, in the
Grammar School. It is urgently re
quested that all members be in at
tendance.

announcing that the Post Office at
Washington had issued an order ef
fective June 16th extending Rural
Route No. 2 from Barnesville, ac
cording to a petition filed last Sep
tember, by the citizens on the route
suggested.
The petition has been energetical

in charge of Mr. D. L. Anderson, sec
retary Lamar County Board of Trade,
whose efforts will be appreciated by
the people interested.

lengthen the route, extending it from
near Midway church by the Barnes

home of Mr. J. T. Bevil and back by
Mr. Luther Burt’s to the regular

BIRTHDAY PARTY
*t
Saturday afternoon, May 12th, a £
four o’clock, little Jeanelle Arm
strong entertained a host of tiny tots
in celebration of her third birthday.
At the appointed time the little
guests, feomo with their nurses, gath
ered on the laWri, greeted their love
ly hostess with good wishes and gifts
and immediately entered into play,
that essential of child life that is SO
vital to their welfare.
The scene was surpassingly beauti
ful. With the soft lawn as a green
velvet background under spreading
oaks, and daintily dressed children,
flitting about like butterflies to flow
ers, we caught a living picture of
nature’s perfect handiwork and
heaven’s immortals. We agree with
Victor Hugo that there is nothing
quite so beautiful as little children
at play under a big oak tree, the one
is likened unto heaven and only God
can make the other.
The guests assembled in the dining
room where decorations were unique
and appropriate. A canopy of pink
festoons waving under soft candle
light, gave an atmosphere of mystic
tone that children love. The birth
day cake decorated with three tall
candles, was the center of attraction.
The favors were tiny baskets filled
with candies.
Refreshments were served by the
little hostess’ mother, Mrs. H. E.
Armstrong, and grandmother, Mrs. B.
F. Reeves.
A few “grown-up children” were
complimented with an invitation and
wished many returns of the happy
day.
EPWORTH LEAGUE PARTY
The young people had a pleasant
evening Friday on the lawn of the
Methodist church, at a Prom party,
given by the League.
The color motif of red and white
was carried out in refreshments and
decorations.
During the evening delicious punch
was served, also delightful cream and
cake.
