We Like to see Children
Come into this Bank
WHY? Because the children of
today are the life and strength of
the community tomorrow!
After all—the thoughtful father of
today really stores up his worldly
goods so that later his children
may be provided for properly and
the youngsters cannot learn too
soon the mighty function of a
National Bank.

BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1922
WALKER WINS
Returns from the Georgia Democratic Primary Wed
nesday show that Hon. Clifford Walker won a wonderful
victory over Governor Thomas W. Hardwick, carrying
more than 100 counties and leading by a wide margin in
the county unit vote in the convention.
One of the most astonishing results of the entire gov
ernor’s race was the tremendous vote for Walker in Lamar
county, Hardwick carrying Lamar, according to the unof
ficial returns, by 22 votes, when ten days ago it was pre
dicted that Walker would not get over 100 votes in the
county, as no work had been done here for him. As the
day for the primary approached, however, it began to,
dawn upon everybody that Walker was going to make a
good race in the county. The harder Hardwick’s friends
worked, apparently, the larger grew Walker’s vote.
Walker’s victory is one of the greatest achievements in
the political history of Georgia. He is an ideal Christian
gentleman and is worthy the great honor which the citi
zens of this great state have paid him in selecting him for
their governor. Because of the issues involved in the
campaign we believe Georgia is to be heartily congratu
lated in Mr. Walker’s nomination.
Incomplete returns indicate the election of Brown for
commissioner of agriculture, Duggan for school superin
tendent, Judge Fish over Judge Russell, Davison for
prison commissioner, and Johnson ahd Perry for railroad
commissioners.
WISE RE-ELECTED
Congressman J. W. Wise was accorded one gf the great
est tributes ever paid a candidate for congress in Georgia
b}' the victory which he has won in the Sixth district. He
carried overwhelmingly every county in the district ex
cept Spalding and he received a very large vote in Spald
ing. Congressman Wise is a man who holds in an un
usual degree the confidence and affection of the people
and his vote is exceedingly gratifying to him and his
thousands of friends.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DEFEATED
One of the hottest contests in Lamar was over the rati
fication or rejection of the “Commissioners and county
manager” bill. The advocates of the bill have conducted
one of the most active and strenuous campaigns for weeks
and they used every argument possible, fair or unfair, to
influence voters, whereas nothing against the bill was done
until the day before and during the day of the election,
when a few people took an interest in the proposition.
Unofficial returns indicate the bill has been defeated by
something like 200 majority out of about 850 votes polled.
Barnesville, Redbone and Johnstonville voted against the
bill and Unionville and Milner for it, while Piedmont
split with 5 and 5, only 10 votes being cast there.
MONDAY’S GOLDEN
RULE SALE
Barnesville’s Tenth Golden Rule
Sale was held Monday, with probably
the smallest crowd present since
these sales began nearly a year ago.
This was perhaps due to the fact that
many citizens spent the past week in
Barnesville attending court.
A number of merchants did a pret
ty nice business, which was confined
largely to the city patronage. A
number of merchants had offerings
which specially appealed to trade at
this season and these did a fairly,
good business.
The farmers brought in and sold
about SIOO.OO worth of chickens,!
which brought a fair price and which
proved profitable to those who sold
them.
There were not many other articles
brought in and offered for sale. The
members of the advertising club were
not very much disappointed over the j
result of Monday’s sale under all the
condiiions which existed and they
hope to see the next ones more suc
cessful because of the improved con
ditions which ane expected to take
place because of the harvesting of
the season’s crops.
MR. MILNER IMPROVING
•T" many friends of Mr. Polk Mil
ner will be glad to learn that he- was
able to be down town one day last
week shaking hands with a few
friends. It is the wish of the com
munity that he may continue to im
prove.
