PEOPLE ABE REJOICING
WE ARE PLEASED
Unparalleled prices on relia
ble merchandise has turned the
trick. No high flown rhetoric
nor gushing phraseology will
reach the people now, in this
time of necessary economy,
like cold facts and figures.
I am very appreciative of the
many manifestations of confi
dence shown by the people
who have swarmed our place
since receiving our circulars.
Other items are being added
daily to those mentioned in
our circular that show attrac
tive prices.

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.

AN INTERESTING
ENTERTAINMENT
“Mr. and Mrs. Polly Tickk’ was
presented at Gordon auditorium
Tuesday evening by Barnesville tal
ent under the direction of Miss Ruth
Ryner, the Three Arts Club sponsor
ing the presentation. There was a
large crowd present from the city
and surrounding communities and tlje
receipts were quite satisfactory.
Of coupe, it should be understood
that the character of the'play did
not in any sense represent the ideals
and purposes of the Three Arts Club,
hut as a play to merely entertain the
people who attended it was a decided
success, many of the characters be
ing splendidly portrayed by the local
people who took parts. A most at
tractive and creditable feature of the
entire presentation was the part
taken by the chorus girls, Misses
Kathleen Langford, Eugenia Hahr,
Doris Collier, Louise King, Mary
Hammond, Louise Bush, Emma Mar
tin, Sara Moss.
Among thse having prominent
parts were Col. Claude Christopher,
Misses Zedene Horne, Alma Crowder,
Sara Cook, Marion Bush, Dr. and
Mrs. I. N. Raines, Mrs. W. A. Prout,
Mrs. T. A. Lifsey, Mrs. C. J.-Lester,
Mrs. A. B. Matthews, Mrs. B. M.

nedy, Miss Grace Neely, Messrs. Per

A REPLY TO AN
UNJUST CHARGE
Barnesville, Ga., Oct. 25, 1922.
News-Gazette,
Barnesville, Ga.
It has come to my knowledge that
there is a report current that I put
injurious liquids into all makes of
batteries except the one I sell (The
Exide) instead of distilled water.
This is absolutely untrue and with
out foundation.
I can prove by any number of my
customers that they have always got
ten an honest deal at my place, and,
too, my business is steadily growing
is proof of its self that it is untrue.
It is true that there has been sev
eral attempts made to get the Exide
battery contract away from me, for
they know that it is the best there
is, but I am indeed shocked to think
that there was anyoone who would
perpetrate such a treacherous and
infamous report to adyance their ef
forts.
Such tactics is, in my opinion, a
very poor business method, and is
born of the under world and to it it
must return. '
This schemer was not satisfied with
localizing his fiendish efforts but
drew an unsuspecting battery fac
tory rr * n into it. \
For the benefit of those who may
doubt my integrity, they may avail
themselves of this offer: I<* any
(person, regardless of the make of his
battery, who has had service or re
pairs at my place and claims that I
in any way, injured his battery, I
will rc nair it or give him anew one
free of charge.
Hoping this will clear any doubt
that may have arisen in your mind
as to the principle upon which my
place is run.
* (Signed) H. D. McINTOSH.
