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.

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. Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Ken nedy, Miss Grace Neely, Messrs. Per rin Collier, fc. M. Eyler, Powell Cot ter, H. E. Armstrong, C. M. Dunn, Sam Whatley, little Misses Antoinette Summers, Aust Matthews, Charlene Graddick, Sara Virginia Sims, Helen Howard, George Galloway. 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.
