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 op the hill is built
on the sound foundation of THRIFT.

LAMAR GOES FOR
GEORGE AND M’GREGOR
Lamar county vote, cast in the
rain, went by a pood plurality for
Judge George for United States sen
ator, Governor Hardwick coming sec
ond and Hon. Seaborn Wright third.
The result was quite a surprise as
the county was expected to go for
Hardwick by a big lead.
Hon. Charles E. McGregor carried
the county for Pension Commissioner
over Judge Clark by a big vote.
THE FAIR WAS A
FINANCIAL SUCCESS
It will be very gratifying to the
citizens of Barnesville and Lamar
county to know the Lamar County
Fair last week was a financial suc
cess. All expenses will be paid from
the receipts and there will probably
be some profit, which makes a highly
creditable showing.
The officers are working on their
statement which will be made in due
time to the stockholders of the asso
ciation.
CITY COURT CONVENES
The City Court of Barnesville has
had a busy session this week, con
vening Monday, Judge J. F. R'edding
presiding and Solicitor H. M. John
son looking after the state’s interests
in criminal cases. Quite a lot of
business has been disposed of, both
civil and criminal.
NEGRO BOY SHOT
Sheriff Elliott, Dewey Farr and
Sam Fortson, while out hunting for
some prisoners who had escaped from
jail Sunday night, shot a negro boy,
a son of Ed Fletcher, a respected
negro citizen of the community. The
sheriff’s party approached a buggy
which they thought contained the
prisoners and in his excitement the
Fletcher boy jumped out of the bug
gy and started to run off when he
was shot in the leg, the thigh being
shattered. The party says he had a
pistol which caused them to think he
was trying to shoot them.
The Fletcher boy is at the home
of his father where he is being treat
,ed by Dr. J. M. Rogers. The shoot
ing is regrettable and it is hoped the
boy’s life and leg will be saved.
AUTOMOBILE RACE CAME
NEAR ENDING SERIOUSLY
“Fatty” McKenzie narrowly es
caped serious injury and perhaps
death in the automobile races at the
Fair grounds Thursday, when one of
his wheels gave way as he was turn
ing the curve at the lower end of
the track, and to avoid going over
the embankment he deliberately ran
the racer into a post of the Central
Georgia Power Cos., breaking the
pole and jarring the wire loose from
the cross bar. He shot over the
windshield, carrying the steering
wheel with him. Everybody expect
ed to find him dead but as the crowd
rushed toward the scene they saw
“Fatty” come up smiling as if noth
ing unusual had happened. But
“Fatty” didn’t race any more that
day.
TO THE BARNESVILLE
MERCHANTS AND WOMEN
The president and other officers of
the Civic League wish to thank most
heartily both the merchants who
gave groceries, and the women who
made donations and helped at the
Club House Cafe during Fair week.
We had a splendid Fair, with good
patronage at the Club House and the
booth. There were many women not
members of the League who assisted
us in making our project a success.
We thank them especially, and we
assure them and the public that the
money made will be used for good
causes both civic and benevolent.
MRS. L. A. COLLIER, Pres.
MARIAN ELDER JONES, Sec.
Mrs. Paul D. Bryan of Atlanta is

AN EXPRESSION
OF APPRECIATION
In behalf of the Lamar County
Fair Association I wish to thank
everybody who in anyway helped to
make the fair a success and the pub
lic generally for the splendid co
operation and patronage given us.
We want to express our appreciation
especially to the Woman’s Club, the
Three Arts Club, the Woman’s Club
of Milner, the Woman’s Club of Red
bone, the U. D. C.’s, the W. C. T.
U.’s, the Red Cross, the Kindergar
ten, the schools, merchants and manu
facturers for the beautiful floats that
were designed and made for the pa
rade Tuesday. The parade was
largely responsible for drawing to
Barnesville the largest crowd that
has been here in a long time. While
there are many things that we might
have done to have added to the Fair,
yet we feel very much gratified over
the success we have had in the face
of adverse circumstances.
Faithfully yours,
T. O. GALLOWAY,
President Lamar County Fair Assn.
