Marshburn BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA 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.

The fair is a county enterprise and its success should be insured by the patronage which the citizenship of the county will freely and voluntarily give it during that day alone. The exhibits in the various departments and the enter tainment winch the program for the day and other fea tures will afford will be sufficient to satisfy every person, young or old, who may be present. It will be a great day and evidently a great throng will be at the fair. Y"ou will be missed and you will miss something which you may deeply regret if you are not there. See the detailed pro gram elsewhere. So, when the gates to Summers Field are thrown open, when the bands begin to play and the big and beautiful parade begins you should by all means be in the crowd. The admission price for the day is 25 cents for grown people and 10 cents for children. Let every Lamar county citizen be at the fair next Tuesday to greet each other and to welcome the hosts of visitors from adjoining counties. It is going to be a GREAT DAY. The Fair will continue through Saturday of next week. CENTENNIAL BIG SUCCESS The Centennial Anniversary, cele brated by Zebulon and Pike county, at Zebulon last Wednesday, Thurs day and Friday, was a tremendous success, culminating Friday with an event that would have been a credit anywhere in Georgia. Friday, the closing day, was the big day of the program and it more than pleased all the visitors and should be exceeding ly gratifying to everyone who had any part in arranging and carrying out the details of the event. The crowd present Friday was per haps the biggest that Zebulon had ever had, hundreds of former resi dents of Zebulon and of Pike county having returned to pay homage to their former home and the fellow ship was fine. Hundreds renewed acquaintances which time had to some extent , dimmed and many grasped hands who had not seen each other in many years. There were visitors from Atlanta and other cities of the state and from all the adjacent counties where former citizens had gone to make their homes. The floats which enterprising citi zens and business men from Zebu lon, Concord, Meansville, Williamson and other places had arranged made a parade which instantly won the ad miration and praise of everybody there. These floats were simply beautiful and reflected the highest credit on those who created them. This was decidedly one of the most pleasing features of the occasion. Barnesville w-as represented in this line by a miniature building of Sar dis Baptist church, now the First Baptist church of Barnesville, found ed in 1827, one of the first churches of Pike county, and a buggy display by Mr. W. B. Smith, owner of the J. G. Smith & Sons buggy plant, showing one of the buggies they built about half century ago and one of the beautiful present day buggies. Barnesville had probably between two hundred and three hundred peo ple present during the day. A big basket dinner was served by the peo ple of Zebulon to numerous guests and many of the county people had basket dinners along so that they could spend the day and enjoy all the events. A squad of the Gordon Cadets, with their band, acted as escort for the queen of the event and at the conclusion of the parade, under the command of Captain J- J- Hea, they gave an exhibition drill, which was witnessed with pleasure by the large crowd. The Cadets added their full share toward the success of the day’s program. The displays, which embraced school exhibits, agricultural products and the work of the women, which were placed in the court house, in the school building and in the stores, attracted much attention and were very creditable. In the afternoon a large crowd as sembled in the superior court room where addresses were made by Dr. A. B. Vaughan, of LaGrange, a native W. T. C. U.
