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.”

ENCAMPMENT AT LiFSEYS
The religious encampment, being
attended by members of various Bap
tist churches belonging to the Cen
tennial Association, is in progress at
Lifseys this week. There are more
than fifty people taking the courses
in the various departments of church
work and it will likely be k a profitable
school of instruction.
The program is a splendid one and
quite a number of the leading men
and women of the Baptist denomina
tion in the state are there to teach
and to deliver lectures and sermons..
Rev. Arthur Jackson and Mr. Joe
H. Smith of Barnesville are in chai’ge

FINE ENTERTAINMENT
The entertainment at Gordon au
ditorium Friday evening last when
the Woman’s club of the Redbone
district presented “Clubbing a Hus

pleasure. Those participating on the

making it an- event of the greatest
pleasure to and old.
The Redbone women are setting an
example to all the women of the
county which is worthy of following.
They are at work and are accom
plishing excellent results.
GOOD PROGRAM RENDERED
Last Thursday evening Ed and
Grace McConnell rendered a very
successful program at the Gordon

and rip-roaring hilarious comedy.
The program was thoroughly enjoyed
by those present. Owing to the
weather conditions there w r as a very
small crowd. Several people who

night, Thursday, at eight o’clock,
July 27th.

time, the date of the beginning of the
great World War, our observance of
this particular day has a most signifi
cant meaning. There will be an au

MASONS HAVE
FINE CONVENTION
Those attending the Sixth District
Masonic Convention from Barnes
ville Tuesday, July 25tH, were R. L.
Swatts, J. M. Anderson, R. A. Staf
ford, Z. B. Head, L. G. Lifsey and
W. D. Williams. The Convention
met in McDonough, Ga., and those
attending were highly entertained.
The morning session was especially
entertaining and instructive. The
ladies of McDonough united with the
local Masons there and were very
helpful to them in their musical and
reading programme.
The Grand Master of Masons of
the State of Georgia was present and
delivered a most interesting and in
structive 'address, setting forth the
[ideals of Masonry.
Past Master and Attorney General
of the State of Georgia, Hon. Geo.
M. Napier, delivered a wonderful ad
dress on the origin and history of
Free Masonry.
The address of welcome was de,
livered by E. J. Reagan, Jr., and was
sufficient to convince the Masons as
sembled that McDonough and the
lodges of Henry county had thrown
their door3 and hearts open to them
and stood ready and anxious to en
tertain them in the good old fash
ioned way.
The response to the address of wel
come was delivered by Mr. P. Y.
Luther of Macon Lodge, No. 5, and
v/as a real expression of the grati
tude of the Masons that had assem
bled from all parts of the district.
After the music and addresses were
over the assembly was directed to
“The Big Spring” just at the edge of
the city limits of the little city of
McDonough where a barbecue and
basket dinner was served them and
which was very much enjoyed by all
present.
The assembly ha3 met at McDon
ough several times and each time
they have been royally entertained,
but if such a thing be possible, Mc-
Donough surpassed all previous
records in entertaining the conven
tion this summer and we are sure
that all present were ready to unite
in saying that the convention was
never more royally entertained any
where.
