Marshburn BARNES VILLE, ' GEORGIA 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?

Special attention is called to the sewing as some of the children had never sewed before.

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. ———o Mrs.. J. K. Torbert and Mrs. M. L. Lifsey of'Macon spent last Thursday in the city with friends. WE SELL SAME G°OOS FOR MONEY {^Pattern WHY PAY MORE?
