BARNESVILLE, GA.
L°n. Negotiated on Farm and
Town Property
HIGHTOWERS BUY BANK
\ \
The article below is taken from
the last issue of the Thomaston
Times and gives account of a big
deal whereby Mr. R. E. Hightower,
Sr., and his associates took over the
Farmers & Merchants Bank of
Thomaston and will convert it into
a national bank. These men own
and operate the Aldora Mills of
of Barnesville and the people of this
community are naturally interested
in a way in the bank deal. Thomas
ton, and middle Georgia, as to that,
is to be congratulated on having such
citizens and business men as Mr.
Hightower and his associates. The
article follows:
A bank deal of considerable inter
est and proportions took place Wed
nesday when Mr. R. E. Hightower,
Sr., and associates purchased the
Farmers & Merchants Bank of Thoni
aston. The deal was closed at the
annual meeting of the stockholders
of said institution Wednesday and
the new board of control tpok charge
of the affairs of the bank immediate
ly. Mr. R. E. Hightower, Sr., Mr.
R. E. Hightower, Jr., and Capt.
James R. Atwater are the moving
spirits in the deal and have had
charge of affairs since the deal.
An organization for the new stock
holders has not been perfected but
this will be done in a short time. It
is very probable that the bank will
be made into a National Bank.
This deal is of very great import
ance to Thomaston, Upson county
and adjoining territory. With the
Hightower interests behind the
Farmers & Merchants Bank it will
immediately take rank with the
strongest banks in Georgia. The re
organization and making of it a
National Bank will be of great bene
fit to Thomaston and vicinity as with
the good banks we already have it
will make its banking connections
equal to any emergency or antici
pated growth. It will create renewed
confidence among the people of this
community and create a greater re
spect from the outside world.
Thomaston is indeed fortunate
that she has men of such means and
business ability that deals of this
magnitude can be consummated so
quickly and efficiently. The transac
tion above marks anew era in the
financial history of Thomaston and
should create anew spirit of en
thusiasm among the people of the
community.
The Farmers & Merchants Bank is
the oldest bank in Upson county and
it is a source of gratification to the
people of Upson county that it will
continue to function and the success
of its future is assured.
THE YEAR 1925
The New Year is ushered in full
of hope, and with bright anticipation
that it will be a year of prosperity
and of happiness. As we step upon
its threshold our hearts pulsate with
new energy. Our footsteps are
firmer, our hopes are brighter, and
as we turn our backs on the setting
sun of yesterday, with renewed trust
and faith we greet the glories of a
new day; for in all the experience of
the past we never saw a day like
this. Man’s attitude changes, his
vision is different, but “God’s is the
same yesterday, today and forever.”
The sun shines as brightly sending
its health-giving rays upon the earth,
as it did a thousand years ago.
The moon sheds its effulgence over
the night, and the stars shine with
the same romantic beauty, as when
the angels sang that beautiful an
them to all the world, “Peace on
earth good will to man.” The old
story of love that binds two hearts
and makes them one is as sweet and
trusting today as when Adam and
Eve plighted this faith to each other
at the dawn of that beautiful day
when God called them man and wife.
Then let us step upon the threshold
of the New Year with that undaunt
ed courage and faith that smiles at
difficulties and overcomes what seems
to be insurmountable barriers.
During the year 1925 let us work
harder and more intelligently, do that
which our hands find to do, more
faithfully and earnestly. Let us be
sweet spirited and kind, maintain a
cheery nature at all times and be fair
and considerate of others. To do
this we must develop initiative and
become more self-reliant. Above all
have implicit trust in and love for
the Creator of all that is pure and
good and holy, remembering that
fear, in its broadest sense, is super
stition, and superstition is the child
of ignorance. “Who is it that will
harm you if ye be followers of that
which is good?”
To my many friends and the read
ers of the News-Gazette, I would
that every difficulty of your life be
rolled away as the sepulchre stones
ere you come to it; that steadfast
hope and abiding faith be the sun
shine of your way.”

Atlanta, Ga.
27-TO-14 VICTORY
ROLLED UP BY GORDON
By JULIAN GRIFFIN
(Constitution Staff Correspondent)
Barnesville, Ga., January 9. —
(Special).—The “Purple Hurricane”
of Boys’ High school of Atlanta,
breezed into Barnesville this after
noon on the wings of a drizzling rain
but before the boys departed for At
lanta and home the elemental storm
had abated only to be replaced by a
more disastrous opponent in the form
of the Gordon basketball team, which
decisively drubbed the Atlanta quin
tet by the score of 27 to 14.
As is often stated with reference
to points chalked up in a contest, the
score does not exactly represent the
margin of difference in the strength
of the two teams this time, however,
it is in favor of the winning team.
The Gordon Cadets completley ran
rings around their opponents, who
were playing a dull and listless game
with all efforts of no apparent avail,
of the two teams; this time, however
any capers to speak of in prep bas
ketball circles last year, seems des
tined to make a splendid showing in
G. I. A. A. circles this season.
Coach W. H. Hastings, formerly
connected with the department of
physical culture at the University of
Nebraska, took charge of athletic ac
tivities this year and has turned out
a remarkably fast and effective quin
tet.
Led by the indomitable little Clin
ton Cooper, about 120 pounds of fire,
dynamite and ginger, the Cadets
started at the first whistle and be
gan piling up a lead whieh led them
out of danger. The diminutive cap
tain was all over the floor at one
time, just half a jump behind the ball
most of the time and up with it the
rest, and he was not without assist
ance from his teammates.
Higginbotham at forward had a
knack of taking the ball in one hand
and slipping it over the back of his
shoulder with consistent accuracy.
Britt and Smith, forward and center
respectively, were unusually good on
long shots and added to the grand
total considerably. Rooksher, at the
other guard, was no slouch himself,
ringing the basket for eight points
which tied Higginbotham for high
point honors of the evening. All in
all, the Gordon team had things its
way all the way and more than de
served the victory it won.
It was reliably stated that Coach
Hastings has a second team that is
just as good as the first five, although
the subs did not get a chance to show
their wares in the contest, possibly
due to a rally of the Atlantans in
the final period.
The game was played in quarters.
Boys’ High seemed to be getting a
late start in the first period, only
registering four points to seven for
the Bamesvillians, and in the second
quarter, instead of improving, the
Atlantans got worse. Not a single
point was registered on the Atlanta
side during the second quarter. The
charges of Coach Johnson were un
able to stay on their feet most of the
time, much less shoot a basket. The
half ended with the score standing 14
to 4 in favor of Gordon.
The third quarter was pretty much
a repetition of the first, the Hum
cane blowing in three points this
time.
In the final period it came to life
for the first time during the evening
and brought the Atlanta side up to
14 points by pretty playing, but it
was too late.
None of the Boys’ High players
showed anything worthy of special
praise tonight, with the possible ex
ception of the work of O’Connor at
forward and Boland at center, who
shot six and four points in the order
mentioned. Gordon’s next game is
with Griffin High on January 16.

ADVICE ON DRINKING
News-Gazette:—As there is no
correspondent from this section of
Lamar county it would not be out of
place to hear from us. This is pos
sibly one of the best communities in
the county except some three or four
boys that get a little tipsy on Satur
day nights, as they call it.
On last Saturday night they were
at a place where no respectable
young man would want to be in the
day time. Profanity and obscene lan
guage seem to take lead when a man
is under influence of liquor. One of
these boys will dress up and call to
see a real nice girl on Sunday after
noons. If she knew, she ought to
shut her door in his face.
I am writing with the hope that
some young man may see the evil of
the drink habit and forever quit.
The advice the two young prisoners
of Columbus has given in last few
days should be worth a great deal to
every thinking young man.
Why so many human beings desire
stimulants is one of the things un-
explained.
I am just wondering if the time
will ever be when the drinkers will
come together and say, “We see our
mistake and we are ready to join
with good people in putting im
morality, shame and disgrace to
flight, be sober, moral men if no
more. It is not too late.
My New Year greetings is that
every man should try to raise a
higher standard of living in 1925.
