Marshburn BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA 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?

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.

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. o SIO.OO REWARD Will be given to the person v/ho can furnish sufficient evidence to con vict the person who is guilty of send ing a boy out in the city of Barnes ville to get shoes to repair in my name.
