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 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 pov
ernment at Washington and that it is a mem
ber of the great FederalHeserve 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?

CITY WINSTN MEANS CASE
The City of Barnesville in the suit
for damages because of the killing of
little William Means by automobile
accident two or three years ago won
the case in a decision rendered by
the Court of Appeals last week. The
City through its attorneys, Dobbs &
Barrett, demurred to the suit. It
was argued before Judge W. E. H.
Searcy, Jr., and the demurrer was
sustained. Hon. Robert L. Berner,
representing Mr. Venus Means, fath
er of the little boy, carried the case
up, and it was one of the very last
cases he argued before his recent
death. The Court of Appeals sus
tained Judge Searcy and the City
won the suit.
RAIDING STILLS
Sheriff Z. T. Elliott has made sev
eral important raids on stills during
the past week and expects to keep
; after them with vigilance and so far
jas he can break up the business in
! this county.
About ten days ago he broke up
three stills, destroying 32 barrels of
beer. Last Friday he broke up an
i othe one on the farm of Mr. J. C.
i Collier at capturing two
negroes who were operating it, both
of whom made bond for their appear
ance at court later.
The sheriff will appreciate any in
formation or assistance which may be
i given him regarding the situation
anywhere in the county.
MRS. PITTMAN DIES
Mrs. W. H. Willis received a tele
gram a few days ago announcing the
i death of Mrs. L. A. Pittman at the
! home of a daughter in Milledgeville.
i Mrs. Pittman lived in Barnesville a
number of years ago with the family
! of the late W. K. Wilkinson and wa3
a splendid woman, making many
! friends here who ever afterward
cherished the friendship of the good
woman. The news of her death will
cause sadness among her numerous
friends here.

in Lamar county without a 1922 Tag
will be promptly taken in hand and
subjected to the penalty prescribed
by law. See that your car is proper
ly tagged or let it stay in your garage.

INTERESTING MEETING
OF THE NEW CLUB
The club women of Barnesville
rarely enjoy a more delightful after
noon than was favored them by the
Literary and Musical Club at the
club house June 14th. This club,
the latest organization of the classic
little city instantly met with such fa
vor and response that it seems des
tined to have the charmed life of the
goddess, Minerva, who sprang into
existence full-fledged from the brain
of Jupiter. The efficient president,
Mrs. C. M. Dunn, and her talented
co-workers are much interested in
the welfare of the club which is an
assurance of complete success.
At 4 o’clock the hostesses, Mrs. W.
H. Hahr, Mrs. B. M. Turner and Mrs.
Alva Matthews, received guests on
the veranda of the club house whore
by a mysterious freak of nature the
summer breezes blow regardless of
temperature. After cordial greet
ings the hostesses led the way to a
scene of beauty where two daintily
dressed girls, Virginia Hahr, Louise
Holmes of Sparta served punch and
sandwiches.
Arriving with Mrs. Dunn were the
guests of honor, Mrs. G. A. Heide of
Macon, 6th District Chairman of
Georgia Federated Music Club, and
Mrs. T. R. Lane, 2nd Vice-President
of G. F. M. C.
In the assembly room Mrs. Dunn
announced a program that held en
rapt attention through every number.
1. Etude Pathetique—Chaminade
—Miss Elizabeth Anderson.
2. Two Lyrics—Mrs. Malcolm
Jones.
(a) Drink To Me Only With
Thine Eyes—Ben Johnson.
(b) Evening Song—Sidney La
nier.
3. 2nd Mazurka —Yodard—Miss
Marian Bush.
4. “Spring Dance”—Vocal Waltz
—Emily J. Mercer—Misses Grace
Neely, Jewell Maddox and Mary
Woodall; Mesdames Hunt, Cotter and
Neely.
After the program the President
introduced the speakers of the af
ternoon who fulfilled their mission
: in the highest degree of satisfaction.
! Their talks were as interesting as
they were helpful. With enthusiasm
they reviewed the work of the 6th
District and the state and insisted
tha local clubs should always send
representatives to conventions. The
suggestion that the public spirited
men be incited to become honorary
members of the club met with hearty
response. There was some specula
tion as to whether a committee of
even the most magnetic personality
could persuade them to join. But it
does take extraordinary courage to
face so formidable a force as a 20th
century woman’s club. They are the
same gentle creatures who make
comfortable the easy chair and have
ready the evening paper while they
bake rolls and broil steak for their
lords of creation.
Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Heide insisted
emphatically that the club appreciate
home talent, a lesson any community
would do well to learn. A sugges
tion that would tend to bring out
home talent was the idea of an ex
change; for instance, we send two
numbers of a program to some near
by city or town to give the spice of
variety to their program and the club
visited send us two numbers to in
fuse new enthusiasm into our pro
gram. The advice that we study
Parlimentary laws was timely and
well delivered. The advantages of a
study course was stressed and the
President has remarked that the club
will probably take Sidney Lanier
first.
Mrs. Dunn asked that the chair
men of the different committees
meet at her home at 8 P. M. to dis
cuss with Mrs. Lane and Mrs. Heide
the plan of work their respective com
mittees would undertake.
After adjournment the charming
hostesses again brought the social
feature of the aftenoon into promi
nence and again the dainty girls
served punch.
MRS. J. V/. REEVES,
Publicity Com.

Thrift,
To lire well differs from living ex
travagantly : for the first comes f i om
1 moderation and a sufficiency and good
order and propriety and frugality, but
the other comes from intemperance
and luxury and want of order and
want of propriety. And the end (the
consequence) of the one Is true
prals*e, but of the other blame. If.
then, you wish to live well, do not
seek to be commended for profuse ex
penditure. —Epictetus (A. D. CO).
