Marshburn BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA A Common Question WHAT HAS THE Federal Rerserve System ever done for me? That was the question a working man asked us some days ago. He said he considered it a good thing for the rich man but of no value to men like himself. “Do you remember the panic of 1907?” we asked. “You bet I do,” he said. “The panic came so quickly I could not get ready for it. Work stopped. The banks could not let us have money. We were certainly up against it good and proper.” “That panic would never have happened,”we told him, “if the Federal Reserve System had been organized then. At that time each bank had to stand alone. When danger appeared, we simply had to protect overselves the best we could. “Strong banks help to make good times. The Federal Reserve System is a benefit to every body in America.” THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Barnesville, Georgia BROWN'S GARAGE,PHONE 64 Bartlesville, Georgia Generator, Starter and Igni tion work for all cars.

The farmers and other growers of poultry had another evidence Wed nesday of what may be accomplished by co-operative growing and market ing of products which they may grow. The second sale of chickens took place and Messrs. H. A. Cliett, coun ty agent, E. P. Drexel, vocational agent, and D. L. Anderson, secretary Lamar County Board of Trade, were kept as busy as they could be from early in the day until noon, when the rush was over, although quite a num ber of chickens were brought in dur ing the afternoon. Six thousand pounds of chickens, or about a half car, were brought in and sold to the firm who had previously contracted for the chickens with the above gen tlemen. These chickens with the lots from Thomaston and Forsyth which were brought here made up a good car. The total received amounted to be tween SISOO and S2OOO, about 250 people bringing in chickens. There was some complaint by those in charge of the sale and who had worked it up in behalf of the grow ers of this section that some indi viduals sold their chickens to people of the city, thus in a measure de feating the co-operative movement, which is the only possible way for building up the chicken industry to where it will really be worth while and amount to anything. Possibly hereafter some plan of organization may be perfected by which only mem bers may be allowed to sell in these cooperative sales. The only way the poultry business can be made profit able on a large scale is through the plans recently used here and it should be encouraged . This week’s sale is regarded' as a very successful one under all the cir cumstances. STATE WORKING ROAD The State Highway department has taken over the road from Barnesville to Zebulon, the bridges at Potato creek, three in number, having been completed by Lamar county, and un der the direction of Mr. T. J. Bailey, in charge of this territory, the road from Zebulon to the creek has al ready been worked and put in fine condition. The three Potato creek bridges are the best that have ever been erected there. The Barnesville- Zebulon road will evidently be kept in excellent condition by the State Highway department officials. Mr. C. W. Wright, from the office of Mr. E. H. Davis of Griffin, division engineer, Monday inspected the work of the Lamar county force on the Sugar Hill farm and reported the work and progress highly satisfactory. The change in the road at the home place has been completed and much of the work on the change being made below the home of Mr. E. L. Wright, through the stretch of woods, has been completed. Just as soon as some other changes in the route can be made the State Highway will take over this road. It is eleven miles from Barnesville to the Lamar coun ty line by this route.

A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS Aside from several persons, young and old fainted, because of the im mense crowd, there were no casual ties at the aluminum sale at Miss Mattie Elliott’s store Wednesday morning, beginning at 10 o’clock sharp. It was the biggest event of the kind ever seen in Barnesville and was a scene which attracted the in tense interest of hundreds of people. For fully an hour before the doors were to open the crowd was packed around the door, waiting to be the first to pick up the big bargains which had been advertised for the sale. They would not budge or give up their place to even have their pic tures made and the photographer had to do the best he could in taking a shot at them as they were lined up under the awning. When the doors were opened the throng poured in and the various as sortments of aluminum ware went like the proverbial “hot cakes.” Am ple arrangements had been made for handling the crowd and the large number of salespeople took good care of the trade. Hundreds of pieces of useful articles went out in little or no time and everybody was happy over the opportunity that had been presented to them, many of them coming for miles around to make pur chases. Miss Elliott has been enthusiasti cally congratulated in pulling off so successfully such a big special sale.

BADLY SCALDED Mr. Eslyn Horne happened to a serious accident Sunday when he was badly scalded on both hands and arms, which is not only very painful but came near being disastrous. An oil stove got out of order and was smoking and blazing and about to set the house on fire, and when he discovered it he ran into the room to try to put it out. In doing so he slipped and fell and turned over a vessel of boiling water, with the re sults above stated. It was a terribly bad burning he sustained, which is deeply regretted by his hosts of friends throughout the community. Mr. Horne is doing very nicely and it is earnestly hoped he will soon be fully recovered from his burns. BOLL WEEVIL IS WORKING FAST Mr. J. F. Wooten is experimenting with two acres of cotton back of the home of Mrs. M. T. Grace. He is following the directions of the ex pert in every possible particular in the effort to see if cotton can be made in spite of the little weevil pest, but he is about convinced that the weevil is going to win the contest. Mr. W'ooten has already picked more than 1100 weevils from the two acres and he can hardly keep up with the squares as they fall from the cot ton stalks, all of them punctured. Mr. Wooten’s experiment is being watched with interest by people who know of what he is trying to do.
