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 Barnesville, Georgia Generator, Starter and Igni tion work for all cars.

Every Sunday school in the county, except two, was rep resented, which was a very fine show ing. One very remarkable circum stance was that the attendance of the public was greater than usual, de spite the fact that an all-day singing was in full blast just two miles away. The speeches of Dr. E. T. Holmes, Mr. John T. Middlebrooks, Judge C. J. Lester, State Superintendent Webb and Young People’s Superintendent, Miss Batchelder, of Atlanta, were all good and enjoyed by the crowd. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President—Luther Holmes. Vice President —John T. Middle brooks. Secretary—H. A. Sappington. Children’s Division Superintend ent—Miss Mattie Tyus. Young People’s Division Superin tendent —Mrs. Z. T. Maxwell. Superintendent Adult Division— Emmett Langford. President District No. I—John G. Bush. President District No. 2—Pierce Hammond. ANOTHER GOOD DAY The Barnesville Advertising club had another good day Monday when the eighth monthly Golden Rule sale was held. The visitors from the sur rounding communities were not so numerous as on some of the other days but there was a fairly good crowd present, however, particularly shoppers from the city being out and participating in the buying of the bargains offered by many of the merchants. Several of the mer chants sold practically all the offer ings they had for the day, some of them taking in over a $lOO in cash, which sounds pretty good for a dull season. Nearly all the members of the club express themselves as well pleased with the day’s results, considering the season of the year. There -is no doubt that the day’s results, consid ering the season of the year, were very satisfactory. There is no doubt the Golden R'ule sales are fine for the merchants and for the patrons. THE “COMMUNITY SING” The “Community Sing” on Sunday afternoons is growing in interest and enthusiasm. The singing last Sunday afternoon, under the leadership of Mr. John G. Bush, was full of “pep” and zeal. The people of Barnesville and Lamar county who do not attend this sing ing are missing something. Be with us next Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock at the Club House and take part in the singing. GRACE NEELY, Chmn. o——— MR. DREXE’S RESIGNATION The people of Barnesville and La mar county regret exceedingly that Mr. E. P. Drexel, vocational agent for Lamar, Pike and Upson counties, ha3 found it necessary to resign the po sition he has held and to leave the work here. It was due to the hard financial conditions, which seemed to make it impossible for funds to be forthcoming with which to his salary. Mr. Drexel’s retirement from the work here is little short of a calamity to the people. He has done a re markably fine work, which has pro duced results which have been highly satisfactory to the people. He ha3 started a work which by all means he should have been permitted to continue, for it was developing an industry that is proving a vast bene fit and profit to the section. Mr. and Mrs. Drexel have hosts of friends in Barnesville and in this ter ritory who regret greatly to see them leave here. U. D. C. MEETING The United Daughters of the Con federacy will meet Friday afternoon, July 14th, at four-thirty o’clock, at the Club House. All members are urged to be present. PRIMARY ARRANGED FOR The Democratic Executive com mittee of Lamar county met in the City Hall last Saturday morning and arranged for the primary for nomina ting a Representative and Congress man, the only local candidates on which the voters of the county will have any choice in this year. The committee selected the date of the State primary as the date for the primary. An assessment of $25 was fixed for each candidate for congress and $2O for each representative. The last day for entry by any candidate was fixed as Saturday, July 15th. Those present at the meeting Sat urday were Prof. J. D. Smith, chair man; W. A. LeSueur, secretary; J. B. W. Godard, F. F. Haygood, W. R. Dai’den, J. W. Elliott. The members of the committee who were absent were W. H. Phinazee, T. G. Dumas, T. M. Allen, J. B. Head and J. J. Darden. HELDFOR SHOOTING The Lamar Grand Jury has an other case on its hands, because H. T. Cheatem and Martin Carroll, of Miami, Fla., could not resist the temptation of a little “target prac tice” in public. They fired at J. T. Littlejohn, a Lamar county citizen, and a Mr. Kennedy, of Spalding county, as they passed them in a car near Orchard Hill, Friday morning. A .38 Winchester rifle, loaded with steel jacket bullets, was used in the affray. The affair was immediately ’phoned here to Chief Reviere, but as they had already passed here, he ’phoned to Sheriff Hicks in Macon, who nabbed them and sent them back to Chief Reviere. At a preliminary trial they were bound over to the Grand Jury. They furnished bond and were released. A SPLENDID CONVENTION The second annual convention of the Sunday School convention of the Centennial association convened with the Meansville Baptist church Thurs day and Friday of last week and proved to be one of the most inter esting and profitable meetings held in this section in a long time. The program was an excellent one and it was carried out in the best possible way, everybody on it responding on time and with something well worth while. The meeting was really re markable because of the many good things presented covering the va rious phases of Sunday School work. Much of the credit for its success is due to the efficient work of the pres ident, Mr. H. Grady Langford, of Meansville. The people of the Meansville com munity, one of the best communities in Georgia, added to the pleasure and success of the event by the splendid hospitality in entertaining all pres ent at the convention, spreading ex cellent dinners the two days the con vention was in session. Dr. Joseph Broughton, superin tendent of the Tabernacle Baptist Sunday School of Atlanta, made an address Friday, which was greatly enjoyed and proved to be an inspira tion to the large audience which heard him. Among the others who contributed greatly to the success of the conven tion were Mr. James W. Merritt, field worker for the Baptists of Georgia, Rev. Arthur Jackson, of Barnesville, Rev. J. W. R. Jenkins, of Zebulon, Rev. C. S. Durden, of Thomaston, Rev. George R. Brown, of Forsyth, Dr. E. T. Holmes of Barnesville and Rev. W. W. Marr of Yatesville. Friday morning there was a demonstration of primary work a3 carried on in the primary department of the Sunday School of the First Baptist church of Barnesville which was witnessed with keen interest and which was very helpful. There were fifteen or twenty small children in the demonstration, which was in! charge of Mis3 Mary Wooten, assisted by Mrs. L. A. Collier, Mrs. Farris Hall, Miss Lorenna Reeves and Miss Mary Jordan. The following were as of ficers for the convention for the com in year: Mr. H. Grady Langford, president; Mr. R. D. Higgins of Yatesville, Mr. A. E. Robertson of Thomaston and Mr. D. M.
