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

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. o Amusements cost Americans 21 2-3 i per cent of all moneys. o Detroit’s fire department uses mo tor driven vehicles entirely.
