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.

Fleming:, of John stonville, one of Lamar county's most substantial business men and most beloved citizens, was in a terrible ac cident Tuesday mornidfc, when the 8:45 Atlanta passenger train ran into his automobile at the crossing at the Myers Ice plant, picking up Mr. Fleming, alone in his automobile, and carrying them on the cow catcher hundreds of yards up the track to ward the station, until they reached the street running from Forsyth street by the Central Georgia Power plant, where, in going over the switch, the automobile and Mr. Flem ing were drawn under the train. The automobile was as completely wrecked, apparently, as it was possi ble to tear it up, and the miracle is that Mr. Fleming was not instantly killed. In the crash he sustained horrible injuries, his left foot being mangled, the flesh on his left leg be ing lacerated considerably, his left arm being dislocated and otherwise hurt, his lips being fearfully mashed and bruises being made on his hepd and other portions of his body. , “As quickly as possible Mr. Flem ing was rescued from the debris and carried to the office of Dr. J. M. Rogers, where every physician of the city assembled and rendered every aid possible. All the time Mr. Flem ing was perfectly composed and talked calmly about the accident. The physicians decided that an amputation of t+ie left foot was ab solutely necessary and preparations were made for the operation. Every body in the city offered their services in doing anything that could be done. After the operation and when he had sufficiently recovered from the anesthetic, Mr. Fleming was taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. J. F. Wooten, on Thomaston street, where he will be kept until he is able to be carried to his home at .Johnstonville. The physicians hold out every hope that Mr. Fleming will recover. This is the sincere and earnest prayer of every citizen of the county and sec tion, who knows him and his family Mr. Fleming left home Tuesday morning for Barnesville, Mrs. Flem ing leaving* home at the same time with their daughter, Mrs. John Coch ran, who had been visiting them, in an automobile for the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cochran in Sylvester. As soon as the accident occurred efforts were made to get the news to Mrs. Fleming and they were finally reached at Vienna, from which place Mrs. Fleming immediately returned to Barnesville. All the children and close relatives were notified as soon as it could be done. Mr. Fleming is doing just as well as could be expected under the terri ble accident which happened to him. The people of the city and entire county have manifested every inter est possible and have offered any as sistance within their power. U. D. C.
