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.” JNO. H. BLACKBURN. 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. ()■—-- MULES and HORSES —We have some fine mules and horses at prices that will beat the other fel low.

MONEY TO LOAN On choice Farm Lands. Claude Christopher Attorney-at-law BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA 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. LAMAR CITIZEN.
