Two Men on a Train
TWO 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 hereE”
“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 theta a
good choice all over the United States.”
What would you think about it?

JACK CORRY WINS
HIGH HONORS
Mr. John P. Corry, of Barnesville,
son of Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Corry, was
one of the three men among 124
graduates who received high honors
at the spring convocation exercises of
Emory University, in Atlanta, Tues
day morning. He was given
Bachelor of Arts degree “magna cum
laude.”
During his four years at Emory,
he has distinguished himself in near
ly every line of student activity. He
is a member of Alphi Epsilon Upsilon
Honorary Scholarship Fraternity,
Alpha Phi Epsilon Honorary Forensic
Society, a captain in the Reserve Of
ficers’ Training Corps, a staff mem
ber of The Emory Wheel, a runner
in the- class relay, tennis doubles
champion last year, and a student
volunteer.
The degrees were conferred Tues
day by Chancellor Bishop Warren A.
Candler. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman,
noted clergyman and author, of
Brooklyn, N. Y.. delivered the com
mencement address. Bishop James
E. Dickey, former president of Emory
College, preached the baccalaureate
sermon Sunday morning.
This brilliant and popular Barnes
ville boy will receive hearty, congrat
ulations from/the people of his home
community on the wonderful record
he has made.
MRS. ROGERS WINS PRIZE
The Adores of friends throughout
this community of Mrs. Loula Kendall
Rogers, for' years in charge of the
Primary department of Gordcjfi Insti
tute, will be glad to hear' that she
recently won the prize of $5 for the
best poem from any of the Women’s
Clubs of the Tenth district, which in
cluded Augusta, Milledgeville, Spar
ta and other important towns in that
section. The poems wefe sent to
judges in four colleges under ficti
tious names. The award to Mrs.
Rogers is, therefore, highly compli
mentary, but it is not surprising to
her friends and admirers in this com
munity.
FOR BAKERY ANDLAUNDRY
_ The fact has been well demon
strated, that “in unity there is
strength,” by the success the Barnes
ville Advertising Club has made since
its origin here. We have one of the
neatest, cleanest and best little cities
in the State of Georgia (or in any
other state as to that matter).
So, why should we be lagging in
the support of a first-class bakery,
and a first-class laundry, when other
towns of far less population are re
taining them?
It occurs to the writer as being a
shame on our fair little city, ancf a
gross neglect of our best interests.
Why let other towns send bread
trucks and laundry trucks into
Barnesville and do business without
license, and make a man who comes
here and becomes a citizen of our
town pay a license, and then not be
given our unanimous support?
Let’s get together, put our shoul
ders to the wheel together
and get these two things of which
we are sp badly in need.
WE CAN DO IT. WHY NOT?
EWELL W. ROSS.

When the distinguished Miss
Frances Willard was National Presi
dent of the Woman’s Christian Tem
perance Union, she made a visit to
Louisville, Ky., and there met Miss

June 9, it is made a Red Letter Day
and all Unions are asked to hold a
similar service, thereby perpetuating
her memory and Her noble work.

INTERESTINGFAMILY RE
UNION AT MEANSVILLE
On Sunday, June 4th, Mr. Reuben
J. Adams, one of Pike county’s most
highly respected citizens, invited all
of his children, grand-children and
great-grami-children to come togeth
er in celebration of his 73rd birthday.
They gladly accepted the invitation
and the day was a most pleasant one
for all present.
Although this day marked the 73rd
milepost on Mr. Adams’ path of life,
he appeared the picture of health and
seemed to carry the weight of years
’lightly. Perhaps very few people
have enjoyed the privilege of seeing
so many of their descendants as has
Mr. Adams. They number 92 and
extend through four generations.
The children present were: Mrs.
W. A. Willingham, Hapeville, Ga.;
Mrs. H. T. Mathews, Thomaston, Ga.;
Mrs. C. E.' Coker, Columbus, Ga.;
Mrs. C. S. Slade, Meansville, Ga.;
Mr. C. J. Adams, Meansville, Ga.,
and Mr. L. D. Adams, Macon, Ga.
Number children present, 6.
There were four children who
could not come, as follows: Mrs.
Clem McDaniel, Albany, Ga.; Mr. T.
A. Adams, Bryan, Tex.; Mr. J. M.
Adams, Martinsville, Tex., and Mr.
W. J. Adams, Griffin, Ga.
There were 25 grand-children pres
ent and 25 were absent. The num
ber of great-grand-children present
was 9, while 22 were absent.
Mr. Adams is loved and respected
by all who know him, and his host
of friends and relatives wish for him
many happy returns of such birth
days as the one he enjoyed last Sun
day.
INTEREST IN CAPONS
The rising demand for capons in
Southern Cities is offering good
prices for persons of enterprise who
will go into the poultry game to sup
ply this trade.
Quite a number of farmers of La
mar ,county are giving this a try,
something like 100 roosters having al
ready been prepared for the feeding
period. The aim is to secure 500
which would make a anarketing pro
ject of sufficient size to” make a prac
tical demonstration of this* industry.
Those raising capons are Messrs.
Geo. , Weldon, Franklin Etheridge,
Allen Chappel, Cicero Willis, Billie
Darden, T. G. Black and others.
Capon meat is a delicacy preferred
to friend chicken by high class pa
trons of hotels and restaurants of
the big cities. A capon is right size
for market when he is a year old
and at that time should weigh from
ten to twenty pounds, depending up
on the breed. The meat is delicious
and very tender,' bringing a price of
thirty to sixty cents a pound on the
market during the winter capon
period. A minor operation is all
that is necessary to change a rooster
to a capon and any parties desiring
a number operated on can secure
same from any of the above named
persons now raising these birds.
The Vocational Class in Agricul
ture at the Milner school, being con
ducted by Mr. E. P. Dre.xel, is mak
ing a specialty of capon raising and
will market their capons in a group.
