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.

READY FOR SERVICE BIG CHICKEN ENTERPRISE
There is a volunteer army in
America numbering four million. It
is enlisted under congressional au
thority to wage incessant battle
against disease and disaster, misery
and suffering in peace and in war.
This mighty army of American
men and women is always on the
march. It never halts.
As an auxiliary to the government
it provides comfort and good cheer
for our enlisted men in the army and
jiavy at home and abroad.
It has given substantial aid to
thousands of ex-service men who are
struggling to readjust their lives to
post-war conditions. It faithfully
keeps its pledge to the men who
fought in the World War, and shall
we keep ours? The annual Red
Cross Roll Call, Saturday -25th, will
tell.
It has rendered in nineteen states
during last year, immediate and gen
erous aid to multitudes suffering be
cause of lire, flood and other catas
trophes.
it has established life-saving corps
improvement in public health. It
has trained assigned under the
direction of its chapters over a thou
sand public health nurses, thereby
teaching our people how to keep well.
To meet the menace of accident,
it has established life-gaving corps
and conducted classes in first aid to
the injured. It has enrolled and
holds ready for emergent duty with
the army arid navy nearly forty
thousand trained nurses.
To perpetuate the good work it is
preparing five million American chil
dren for the Red Cross of the fu
ture by teaching them the beauty of
unselfish service and inspiring them
to aid the suffering children of the
world.
Red Cross duty never ends. Be
fore one task is finished distress calls
are pleading for others. The Roll
Call Saturday is your country’s call
to you that America may answer the
challenge of necessity.
The Red Cross is an army of vol
unteers. Will you do your part to
enable it always to be
READY FOR SERVICE?
The committees of the local chap
ter have been at work for several
days on final arrangements and they
report the people of Barnesville and
Lamar county loyally responsive.
The Woman’s Clubs of the county
have graciously accepted the re
sponsibility of putting over the
Membership Drive in their districts
and near-by communities, the suc
cess of which might prove to be some
preliminary lessons in the wonders
of the Nineteenth Amendment.

Carriker. tf
Mr. Harvey Kennedy has recently
entered into the poultry business on
a scale which promises to prove very
interesting and also profitable to
him. He has associated with him in
the business Mr. F. P. Wilson, who
has been in the business at Milner
for about two years, and who has
also been associated with the State
College of Agriculture at Athens as
a vocational student. Mr. Wilson
has not only had varied experience
in the poultry business but he has
extensively having been in
Australia and a number of other
countries.
Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Wilson now
have about 350 beautiful White Leg
horn chickens, having had erected
for them regular chicken houses and
yards on the thirteen acre lot on
Zebulon street, which Mr. Kennedy
owns, the Kennedy home place. All
the arrangements are according to
the present scientific way of handling
chickens and they believe in a short
time they getting such results
that the investment will be a paying
one. They expect to keep records
on their hens by means of trap nests
so that they will know when a hen
is or is not doing her duty in laying
and when they locate a hen that is
without the proper laying ability she
will at once be discarded and fat
tened for somebody’s table.
They propose to try out the latest
devices to produce results. They al
ready have the flocks in different
pens with separate running grounds,
with the best feeding and watering
facilities. Soon there will bp clocks
installed which will automatically
turn on the electric lights early in
the morning, waking the hens up and
putting them to work, making them
industrious, in the effort to force
them to lay because of their unusual
exercise. Mr. Kennedy explains that
this process of forced laying short
ens the life of the hen but he thinks
no hen should be kept as a layer for
more than two years anyway and af
ter that she should be culled and pre
pared for the table.
Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Wilson have
hardly gotten their business started
well yet but they are already getting
a dozen to fifteen eggs daily and ex
pect soon to have this number large
ly increased and they expect to hold
all this product off the market until
the price of eggs goes much higher
than it is at present, which is around
40 cents per dozen.
Messrs. Kennedy and Wilson have
a few Rhode Island F.'eds and a few
Guineas at present blit they expect
to confine their stock almost ex
clusively to White Leghorns, believ
ing that this stock offers them most
in the poultry line.
They will also engage in hog rais
ing and now have between fifty and
seventy-five hogs, including all sizes.
At present they have several breeds
but they are going to weed out their
stock and confine their efforts to the
Poland China. They have some fine
specimens in the number on hand,
Mr. Kennedy taking some good prizes
with his exhibits at the recent Lamar
County Fair.
The enterprise which Mr. Kenne
dy and iftr. Wilson have started
promises to be an important one for
the community and they will have
the best wishes of the citizens for
great success.
A BEAUHFIILSOLO
The congregation of the First Bap
tist church of Barnesville enjoyed a
rare treat last Sunday morning when
Mrs. Julian Hightower of Thomaston
rang a lovely solo coming from
Thomaston for that purpose. She
has a splendid voice and sang most
effectively, the entire congregation
expressing much appreciation for the
beautiful song which she so beauti
fully sang for them.
