The Story of the Big
House on the Hill
Every town Has its “big house on
the hill”—a rich man who has be*
come financially independent and is
perhaps the envy of those around
him.
But the base of all this prosperity
has been thrift. He has banked his
money—then invested it wisely with
the cooperation of his banking con
nections.
Yes, the big house on the hill is built
on the sound foundation of THRIFT.

SANG FOR RADIO
Miss Martha Wellmaker, the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wellmaker,
who is a student of Cox College at
College Park, near Atlanta, was re
cently paid a high honor in being
asked to sing for the Atlanta-East
Point Radio station, which broad
casts to the leading\cities of the
country. So satisfactory was her
singing in her first effort that she
was called for a second time, when
she responded with equal success.
The people of Barnesville will
doubtless be greatly interested in the
honor paid her and the success with
which she met in responding to the
invitation extended her.

TO POOL SWEET POTATOES
Mr. R. E. Lee Hawkins, owner of
the Barnesville Potato Curing Plant,
is deeply interested in the develop
ment of the sweet potato industry
for Lamar county and vicinity, as he
believes it offers a means of making
a good profit to potato growers.
Mr. Hawkins has a plan which he
wants the growers to consider, by
which he believes the industry may
be properly developed and raadq sat
isfactory to everybody. His plan is
for the growers of sweet potaties to
pool their potatoes as they place
them in the curing plant and thus
share equally in the expense of cur
ing and handling them until they
have been sold and the money re
ceived in payment for them. It has
been demonstrated that the*e is hard
ly any doubt about the sale of all
the potatoes which may be grown
and cured. When they are placed
in the curing plant they will keep
and bring a better price. Mr. Haw
kins has an idea that the “pooling”
plan will work to a better advantage
for all concerned. For example, if
the sweet potatoes placed in the
plant are pooled and a lot of 500
bushels are sold every owner of po
tatoes in the plant will share pro
rata in the amount received from the
sale. He will be paid promptly his
dividend and as sales are made he
will be receiving dividends in pro
portion to the quantity of potatoes
he has in the plant and the price
received for the quantity sold.
Mr. Hawkins believes that cured
sweet potatoes will readily sell for
around $1.25 per bushel, which will
net the grower around 75 cents per
bushel.
Sweet potatoes will grow in abund
ance throughout Lamar county and
the industry could be easily de
veloped into one of great profit.
Mr. Hawkins will be glad to talk with
any farmer about the proposition.
