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
sskcd*
“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.” M
“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.”

A CARD FROM CHAPPEL
To the Voters of Lamar County:
While I have not announced my
candidacy for Representative for the
Georgia Assembly, it seems to be
generally understood that I would
make the race.
While I have been offered every
encouragement and been assured
that I w’ould be successful in the
race, yet for business reasons, to
avoid factional strife, and to refrain
from any step that would mar the
excellent harmony that now exists
in our county, I must decline to
make the race. I wish to hereby
thank my friends for their proffered
support and the spirit in which it was
offered.
Respectfully yours,
A. H. CHAPPEL.

We want to hear from parties in
terested in entering horses for mile
races, trotters and pacers in harness
and runners under saddle. Races to
be staged about October 12th, or dur
ing our County Fair.
We are going to put up approxi
mate purses of Ist $25, 2nd sls and
3rd $lO in each of the above classi
fied races. Entries open only to La
mar and adjoining counties.
If you have a horse you regard a3
having reasonable speed we will be
glad to hear from you, that we may
make definite plans. This is not for
the purpose of attracting professional
racers but to work up some warm
competition among home people. We
1 will, of course, be glad to have pro
fessional as well as amateur racers
but they will receive different classi
fication.
Let us hear from you.
H. A. CLIETT, Secretary,
Lamar County Fair Association.
ATTENTION!
There seems to be a misunder
standing with some as to just what
a County Unit System means. If
Barnesville is made a part of the
county system, then Gordon will be a
free school to everybody in Lamar
county.. This does not mean that
any schools will be consolidated. It
means that when children finish their
local schools they may come to Gor
don and get a high school education
FREE.
This system will give every child
in the county an equal opportunity.

WILLIS—GODARD
In the presence of a few friends
and relatives of the contracting par
ties, Miss Pauline Elizabeth W'illis
was married to Mr. William Wallace
Godard at the home of the bride’s
father, Mr. J. F. Willis, near Milner,
at eleven o’clock on Sunday morning,
July 2nd, 1922, Rev. B. H. Trammel
officiating.
Miss Willis had made her home
near and in Milner since childhood,
being the third daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. F. W’illis.
Mr. Godard is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. D. Godard, having made
his home in Milner and Atlanta for
the past nine years. Recently he
took up work in Cleveland, Ohio,
and he with his bride left immediate
ly after the ceremony for their fu
ture home in Cleveland.
These two splendid and popular
young people will have the sincere
good wishes of hundreds of friends
for a long and happy life.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION
The Sunday School Convention of
the Centennial association will be;
held today and tomorrow, Thursday
and Friday, with the Meansville Bap-;
tist church and it is expected that a j
la rye crowd will be present each day.
Mr. H. G. Langford, president, has
arranged an unusually fine and help
ful program, providing for addresses
by the leading ministers and laymen
of this section and also by Mr. James
\V.- Merritt, Field Worker for the
Baptists of Georgia, and Dr. Joseph
Broughton, superintendent of the
Baptist Tabernacle Sunday School of
Atlanta, one of the greatest Sunday
School workers of the south.
It is expected that there will be a
large attendance from Barnesville.
SUNDAY SCHOOL~PICNIC
The Baptist Sunday school held a
picnic at Kiev’s last Thursday after
noon, a large crowd being present,
childi'en, of course, constituting the
larger part of the crowd.
Automobiles carried the folks out,
leaving the church around 3 o’clock.
Swings had been erected in the grove
for the children, while many went
swimming in the pool.
The dinner was served about 5
o’clock, and it was a bountiful "bne,
large enough to satisfy at least twice
as many as were present. Avery
threatening cloud came up about this
time, which greatly hurried every
body, and took out of the occasion
much of the pleasure which would
have otherwise made it more success
ful. The crowd reached home with
out getting in much rain, notwith
standing the thunder and lightning.
FISHER BUYS OUT STOCKS
Mr. James C. Fisher, who has been
with Miss Sarah Fambro for the past
few years in her grocery business,
this week bought the stock of gro
ceries from Mr. C. E. Stocks on Mar
ket street, and has already taken
posession of Mr. Stocks’ goods and
will continue to operate in the same
building. Mr. Fisher is a well
known young man, experienced in
the grocery business and is deserving
of the success which he will evidently
obtain by going in business for him
self.
Mr. Stocks expects to devote him
self largely to buying and selling
cattle, in which he has had much ex
perience.
NO SINGING AT
NEAL THIS YEAR
The members of Neal Baptist
