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. kSIiV.
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.

“FATHER AND SON WEEK”
“Father and Son Week’’ is to be
observed throughout the continent
of North America the second week
of November. This is a time set
aside by church organizations and
other agencies actively interested in
boys and young men to honor the
fathers, and at the same time, to
make opportunities for the fathers
and sons to come together in closer
comradeship and mutual apprecia
tion.
The program for the week’s ob
servance includes special services on
Sunday in the Sunday School and
church services, as well as a number
of activities for the week, culminat
ing in a banquet or church supper on
Friday night for all the fathers and
sons in the church. The week’s pro
gram will be sent free on request by
the State Association office. Organ
ized Bible Classes—Young People
and Adults —are adopting “Father
and Son Week” as a definite form of
service which they can render for the
building up of Christian ideals in the
home and in the church and com
munity.
President Harding issued a special
proclamation last year for the ob
servance of “Father and Son Week.”
It is being jointly promoted by the
International Sunday School Associa
tion, through its auxiliary State and
provincial Associations throughout
the United States and Canada, and
the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion. The first “Father and Son”
banquet was held by the Y. M. C. A.
a number of years ago, when the idea
of bringing them together in this
way was first originated.
Pastors, superintendents and teach
ers of adults and young people are
urged to observe this week through
out Georgia, for the building up of
the homes, the churches and the com
munities.
A SAD DEATH
All the people of Barnesville and
vicinity were shocked Monday when
the news reached them of the sudden
and unexpected death of Mrs. B. W.
Maulden, which occurred Sunday
night at her home in Cairo, Ga. She
was the daughter of Mrs. Emma Bar
rett of Barnesville and was quite a
popular young woman among the
people of the city and section, hav
ing many relatives in Lamar and
Pike counties.
Before her marriage she was Miss
Roumania Barrett and since her mar
riage her home has been in Cairo.
She was thirty-one years old. She
was prominent in the religious and
social circles of her home community
and was a young woman who was
greatly esteemed among the people
who knew her. Her death, which was
due to an attack of acute indigestion,
has caused great sorrow.
The funeral and burial occurred
in Cairo Tuesday from the Baptist
church, of which she was a member.
Mrs. Maulden is survived by her
husband, a daughter five years old,
her mother, Mrs. Emma Barrett, of
Barnesville; a sister, Mrs. Howard
Collier, of Barnesville; four broth
ers, Clifton Barrett, of Sioux City;
Curtis Barrett, of Barnesville;
Luther Barrett, of Charleston, and
Lloyd Barrett of Sparta; Charles S.
Barrett, national president of the
Farmers’ Union, a half-brother, and
Mrs. R. L. Jolly of Meansville, a half
sister, also survive.
The people throughout this com
munity extend deepest sympathy to
all the sorrowing relatives.

BELOVED CITIZEN
PASSES AWAY
Mr. J. B. P. Milner died at his
home on Thomaston street Friday
afternoon about 1:30 o’clock, after
an illness of several months, during
which he was a great sufferer. While
it was known among the people gen
erally that he was critically ill and
that it was only a question of time
when the end would come, the an
nouncement of his death came as a
surprise to the community, and even
his family were not fully expecting
it at quite so early a date.
Some months ago Mr. Milner be
came ill and went to Atlanta to a
private sanitarium with the hope of
finding relief there but his stay there
was short, as the nature of his ill
ness was of such character that lit
tle hope was entertained of his final
recovery. During the entire illness
of Mr. Milner he had the constant
attention of his family physician, Dr.
J. M. Rogers, and the devoted mem
bers of the family and friends did
everything that it was possible for
them to do to make his last days
comfortable and happy, all of which
he deeply appreciated.
Mr. Milner was a genuinely good
man. He was as honest as the days
were long, sincere and frank in all
his dealings with his fellow men, was
kind hearted and generous, was one
of the old time neighbors, who was
constantly doing something to show
his neighborliness, he stood for all
that was truest and best, having con
victions and the courage to stand by
them on every occasion. He was a
sincere and an earnest Christian, be
ing a member of the First Baptist
church of Barnesville. He was also
a Mason. Mr. Milner was an un
usually energetic man and was al
ways busy. When he had anything
to do he went at it with the purpose
to finish the job and when it was fin
ished it was done just about as well
as it was possible for him to do it.
That was his nature and character
and it always manifested itself in his
conduct.
Mr. Milner was a faithful and lov
ing husband, an affectionate and gen
erous father, an unselfish and true
friend and a good citizen and he will
be sorely missed among the citizen
ship of the city and community. He
did much in his quiet way for the
poor and the needy and there are
many who will sorrow over his going
as they remember the kind deeds of
the past. Asa business man in the
various enterprises in which he en
gaged during his life time he estab
lished a splendid reputation for fair
and courteous dealing and integrity.
Mr. Milner was born, reared and
lived nearly all his life in this com
munity. He was 73 years old.
The funeral was held at the First
Baptist church Saturday morning at
11 o’clock, Rev. Arthur Jackson of
ficiating, and paying a beautiful
tribute to the life of the good man,
after which the body was interred in
the family lot in the Zebulon street
cemetery. There were many lovely
floral offerings sent in by friends of
the deceased and his family.
Mr. Milner is survived by his wife,
who was a Miss Lunquist, one daugh
ter, Mrs. W. L. Hines, who lived with
her father and mother, one son, Dr.
M. B. Milner of Baltimore, one
brother, Mr. J. S. Milner, and one
sister, Mrs. J. W. Vaughn, both of
this community, to whom the people
of the entire community extend deep
sympathy over the going of this good
man and beloved citizen.
