The Story of the Big
House on the Hill
Every town has its “big house en
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.

GOOD MAN DIES
Mr. E. T. Crowder, beloved Con
federate soldier and citizen, aged 75
years, passed peacefully away at his
home on Greenwood street Wednes
day morning, the death of the good
man causing universal sorrow among
the people of the community, al
though it was not a surprise, for it
had been known for some time that
he could last only a short time long
er. He had failed very fast during
the past two or three years and some
months ago it was realized that the
inevitable end was fast approaching.
The funeral service will be held
at the First Methodist church today,
Thursday, at 10 o’clock, Rev. H. L.
Edmondson, the pastor, having
charge of the services.
Mr. Crowder moved to Barnesville
in 1886 from Fayette county, where
he was engaged in business and since,
that time he has been a citizen and
business man of this city. He was a
good man and a valuable citizen, who
was held in the highest esteem of all
the people. He was a gallant Con
federate veteran and always took a
keen interest in the welfare of his
comrades. He usually attended all
the local meetings of veterans and
greatly enjoyed them. He was a
staunch member of the Methodist
church and as long as he was able
to attend was faithful in attendance
and one of the church’s most loyal
and interested members. He stood
for the best things in civic life and
on all moral questions he stood un
flinchingly for the right.
He leaves hosts of warm and true
friends and he will be sadly missed
throughout the community. He is
survived by his wife, three sons,
Messrs. George C. Crowder of Mil
ner and W. H. and Theodore Crow
der of Barnesville; three daughters,
Mrs. O. W. Holland, Mrs. J. S. Tal
ley of Barnesville, and Mrs. J. S.
Bryan of Atlanta.
The sympathy of the people of the
entire community will go out to the
bereaved members of the family in
the sorrow which has come to them in
this good man’s going away.
ROGERS STORE OPENS
HERE ON MAIN STREET
The News-Gazette is glad to an
nounce the opening of one of the
Rogers Chain of Grocery Stores in
Barnesville, located at the stand of
the U-Save-It store on Main street.
Mr. L. G. Waters, experienced man
ager, who has been in a Rogers store
at Gainesville, will be in charge of
the store here. Rogers stores are
famous among the people of the state
and the one in Barnesville will doubt
less be equally as successful as those
elsewhere.
The same class* of goods as else
where will be carried here. It is ex
pected the store will be open today
and every day hereafter for regular
patronage.
HALLOWE’EN PARTY
On Saturday evening the Lanier
Literary Society of the A. & M.
School entertained the Grady Socie
ty, the faculty and alumni at a Hal
lowe’en party in the school audi
torium. The decorations for the oc
casion were very appropriate and
contributed to the ghostly idea which
prevailed throughout the entire even
ing. The guests on arriving were
ushered by ghosts through various
dens and finally through the “death
chamber.” Those who were fortu
nate enough to get through it all
were then led to the auditorium
where there was much guessing as
to the identity of the masked figures.
Following the removal of the masks,
many games suitable to the occasion
were played. Fortune-telling and
“visiting the spirit” were enjoyed for
a while and later there were other
games and several ghost stories.
Punch was served from a cauldron
by three witches.
FOOT BALL FRIDAY
Friday afternoon, beginning at
3:15, there will be played in Sum
mers Field a game of foot ball be
tween A. & M. and Locust Grove.
The game promises to be an inter
esting one, as the two teams will
fight hard to win.
It is hoped a good crowd will be
1 present. Admission 25 rents.

ent.
Following tha program a barbecue

men of Lamar county and every one
of these men is urgenlty invited and

HOG SALE WEDNESDAY
We will hold our third cooperative
hog sale next Wednesday, November
Bth. All parties in this and adjoin
ing counties are invited to partici
pate in this sale. Those of you that
have larger hogs, more than neces
sary to kill for your home needs, will
find it most economical to sell off
your larger ones and let your feeds
go into smaller ones even if you have
to buy the shoats. Hogs weighing
around 200 pounds will not continue
to make economical gains. They
should be sold preferably when
weighing from 165 to 250 pounds.
Assuring you of the highest mar
ket price and the same courteous
treatment as in the past, I am,
Yours very truly,
H. A. CLIETT,
County Agent.
