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.” THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Barnesville, Georgia BROWN’S GARAGE,PHONE G 4 Barnesville, Georgia Generator, Starter and Igni tion work for all cars.

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. homeVacerstor FAIR We want to hear from parties in terested in entering horses for mile races, trotters and pacers in harness and runners under saddle.

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.

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.
