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 here?”
“Why, the First National, of course,’’the other
replied. “We always select The First National
in every town where there is such a
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 DAY MONDAY
The crowd at the Golden R'ule Sale
Monday was smaller than at any pre
vious day, nearly all the farmers be
ing busy with their work because of
the fair weather after so much rain,
but the merchants report quite a nice
business, particularly in the line of
ladies’ goods, some of the dealers be
ing surprisingly well pleased with the
volume of the patronage for the day.
The crowd present included quite
a number of people from outside the
city, the men generally were absent,
however, the shopping being confined
almost exclusively to the women.
Genuine bargains were offered the
public by the members of the Barnes
ville Advertising Club, whose adver
tisements appeared in the Golden
Rule News.
The day was regarded as very suc
cessful under all the circumstances.

It was a beautiful scene which greet
ed the visitors with the unique and
lovely decorations and all the little
people acquitted themslves in a very
creditable manner, affording the au
dience a real treat by the splendid
program which was rendered.
Miss Wooten has done a splendid
work with these little people, as she
is peculiarly gifted as a Kindergarten
teacher.

chasing a piano for the Club House.
Mrs. L. A. Collier, President of the
Civic League, is anxious that a large
audience should be present to enjoy
the play and also to swell the re
ceipts. She has investigated the peo,
pie who are putting on the play and
from the recommendations made in
their behalf there is every reason to
believe that the play is well deserv

Mrs. Collier and other ladies inter
ested in the Civic League earnestly
ask the people of the city to turn out
and assist in the worthy movement.
