Two Men on a Train
TWO TRAVELING MEN were on the train
one day as it drew near the station. s 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?

COMMENCEMENT NOTES
This week’s commencement was
about the rainiest ever experienced
here, but in spite of the weather
splendid crowds attended nearly all
the exercises. The people went
through the rain and mud in order
to see and hear the young people per
form the tasks assigned them. There
was much regret that the senior class
could not carry out the planned pro
gram on the lawn at the club house,
but the change was accepted grace
fully and their exercises were wit
nessed and enjoyed in Gordon audi
torium. It is the universal opinion
that this commencement was one of
Ahe most satisfactory in the history
of the great old institution,
Mrs. Augusta Lambdin’s recent ill
ness prevented her attendance at the
various exercises, which was noticed
and frequently mentioned by those
attending, and was particularly no
ticed at the graduation exercises,
where she has so often taken part.
It was a source of regret to students
and patrons. Mrs. Lambdin is held
in affectionate regard by everybody
and no person has exerted a more
helpful influence in the faculty and
student body than she has. It is the
sincere wish that she may soon be
fully restored to health.
Dr. E. T. Holmes, president, spoke
at the closing exercises of the fine
prospects for a large enrollment for
the coming year. On account of the
financial depression Gordon’s enroll
ment has suffered along with all the
other educational institutions of the
state and country and it is hoped that
the attendance next year will regain
normalcy. The success of Gordon
means much to Barnesville and com
munity and everybody should be will
ing to render every possible assist
ance to the faculty and officials of
Gordon to promote its interest in
every way. Speak a good word for
Gordon whenever opportunity pre
sents.
Prof. C. M. Eyler had much to do
with making the senior play, “It pays
to advertise,” presented Tuesday
evening, the wonderful success it was.
It is true that he was splendidly sup
ported but his personality doubtless
inspired other participants and
brought them to their best. Every
body who witnessed the play enjoyed
it thoroughly and say it was one of
the best presentations ever witnessed
by non-professionl people. Prof.
Eyler has won the esteem of the stu
dents and citizens by the splendid
way in which he has participated in
the affairs of the community since he
became a member of the faculty of
Gordon.
By oversight the name of Mr. R.
D. Wade, a member of the senior
class, was omitted from the list of
those who had made a naverage above
87, as published on the program of
th graduating exercises, which the
faculty very much regrets. Mr.
Wade has been one of the best stu
dents of the class and made a fine
record in his studies. He is appre
ciated by the faculty and fellow stu
dents.
There have been more commence
ment visitors this year than for a
number of years. Years ago when
there were not so many high schools
of importance hundreds of visitors
came to Gordon commencement every
year and it was indeed a gala week
with the people of the city. Every
body opened their homes to guests
and everybody had a good time to
gether. There were no automobiles
then and all the vistors came on the
trains and when they got here they
walked to and from the exercises or
rode in buggies and carriages. How
times have changed in a few short
years.
The exhibits by the grammar
grades attracted attention and ad
miration of all who inspcted them
These were displayed in the halls of
the grammar school building and
nearly everybody took advantage of
the opportunity to look them over.
It is a fine thing to be teaching these
little people. This work has been in
charge of Miss Annie Johnson.
That Gordon is still doing a really
great work none can successfully de
ny. The exercises of the various
classes and departments were suffi
cient to demonstrate it beyond ques
tion. The orations and essays, the
musical numbers throughout the oc
casion and the other exercises in
RACE FOR GOVERNOR
WILL BE SPIRITED
WALKER IS EXPECTED TO
PROVE FORMIDABLE CANDI
DATE AGAINST PRESENT IN
CUMBENT, HARDWICK.
Atltnta, Ga., May 30.—The an
nouncement Sunday of Hon. Clifford
M. Walker, of Monroe, as a candidate
for the Georgia governorship against
the present incumbent, Goveronr
Thomas W. Hardwick, has been the
sole topic of conversation during the
last two days among politicians in the
capitol corridors and hotel lobbies.
Mr. Walker’s entrance was not un
expected and even prior to his defi
nite statement, political prophets
were beginning to make predictions.
Unquestionably, to judge of the con
census of opinion, Mr. Walker will
prove a formidable candidate.
Having at all times a strong per
sonal following throughout the State,
which is no small factor, he will, in
addition, bring to his banner, accord
ing to politicians here, what he has
never had before, the solid support of
U. S. Senator Tom Watson’s follow
ers, a small army in itself, and many
former Hardwick supporters who
have left the side of the present exe
cutive through dissatisfaction with
the present administration.
Watson Elected Hardwick
Unbiased politicians here declare
that without the Watson support,
Hardwick would not have succeeded
in his race for governor,' and now that
Watson, disappointed over the guber
natorial conduct of his so-called pro
tege, denounces him and withdraws
his support, it is a matter tinged with
doubt, whether Hardwick can recover
sufficient strength to resume his ex
ecutive seat for a second term.
Mr. Walker, formerly attorney gen
eral of Georgia, receiving the highest
vote ever given a candidate for that
office, ran for governor against Gov
ernor Hardwick two years ago. In
the first primary Governor Hardwick
receiving Watson’s full support, led
the ticket, but failed to obtain a ma
jority of the county unit votes. A
run-over primary was held between
Governor Hardwick and Mr. Walker,
who ran second and in that run-over
the governor, still holding the Wat
son support, defeated Walker.
The third candidate was John N.
Holder, who withdrew from the race
virtually in Hardwick’s favor, and
has since been appointed by Governor
Hardwick to the chairmanship of the
State highway board.
“Sensation” Report Denied.
Mr. Walker has given out no inti
mation whatever as to what his plat
form will be. Publication in one At
lanta newspaper that he v/ould spring
a sensation in an attack on the pres
ent State administration was unau
thorized, according to a statement
made by Mr. Walker over long dis
tance telephone to the correspondent
of this news service.
Mr. Walker has announced that he
will maintain headquarters for the
present at Monroe, Ga., where he
lives and is a practicing lawyer, but
will not begin a speaking tour over
the State earlier than the first of
July.
