ACCEPTS CASHIER’S PLACE
Mr. J. W. Brown of Barnesville
recently accepted the position of
cashier of the Second National Bank
of Griffin and some days ago as
sumed his duties there. Mr. Brown
is a splendid gentleman and is an ex
perienced bank man. He will un
questionably render excellent service
to the bank of which he has become
an official. During the short time
he had lived in Barnesville he had
made many warm friends and it is
with much regret that they see him
leave the city, although it is gratify
ing to see him called to such a nice
position. Mr. Brown’s family will
not move to Griffin at the present
time because of the school relation
ship of their children here, but will
probably do so at the close of the
present school year.
o
Will guarantee salary $50.00 per
week and furnish automobile to sev

LAMONT NOTES
Mr. W. W. Wilson, age 61, mer
chant, and one of our most success
ful farmers of Redbone district, was
shot to death at Barnesville Saturday
night about seven o’clock by two
Barnesville policemen, Chief Riviere
and Sauley.
Mr. Wilson was notified that one of
his sons was under arrest for an of
fense in Upson county and he at
once left for Barnesville in behalf of
his son and being under the influence
of whisky before and after reaching
Barnesville, he lost control of him
self and began firing on the police
men and they shot in self defense.
Mr. Wilson left Crowford county
about 21 ypars ago and bought the
John Stallings farm on the Dixie
Highway about one and a half miles
from Lamont and one of the choicest
farms in middle Georgia, and ever
since being in our midst he was con
sidered one of our best farmers and
he had done a successful merchan
dise business here for several years.
He installed a gasoline tank for
the convenience of the public and he
had recently installed a grist mill,
and a few days ago he bought the
valuable home of Mr. L. E. Jackson
on the Barnesville and Forsyth road
and he was always successful in all
his undertakings. He was not a
member of any church, but he was
honest in all his business dealings,
was jovial and liberal hearted and
was the worst enemy to himself. His
remains were carried to Roberta
Monday for burial in the family
cemetery and the funeral services
were conducted by Elder Y. B. Hicks
of Roberta.
He is survived by his wife, who
was Miss Mollie Moncrief of E.oberta;
three daughters, Mrs. C. T. Seagler,
of Roberta; Mrs. Grady Mitchell, of
Perry, and Miss Louise Wilson; six
sons, Mr. W. H. Wilson, of Perry;
Joe Wilson, of China U. S. Marines,
and Laney, Sam, Claude and Brown
Wilson. J. B. was killed in France
during the World War. He leaves
three brothers, Oscar Wilson, of Ma
con; S. H. Wilson, Fitzgerald, and
Jim Wilson, of Texas! three sisters,
Mrs. B. F. Gaultney, of Butler; Mrs.
E. H. Lewis, of East Point, and Mrs.
R. B. Moncrief, of Roberta. To all
we extend our hearfelt sympathy in
this hour of trouble.
On account of the rain Brother
Adamz did not fill his appointments
at Fredonia Saturday and Sunday.
According to our weather inform
ant, Mr. Fred Bush, we’ve had eleven
inches of rain in the past week or
ten days, and if we had our rathers
we would not have it all at once, so
Mr. Brown, our road man, would not
have all the bridges to put back at
once. Some say they never saw it
rain so much, and they were old peo
ple, too, but I guess their memory is
short.
Mrs. H. A. Sappington and Mrs.
W. A. Sullivan entertained the la
dies of the community at dinner
Thursday and Friday in spite of the
rain.
Mr. W. A. Sullivan in company
with Mr. Clark Bush and others of
Barnesville spent several days of last
week in Florida on a hunting trip.
Our school at Prospect is working
full time with Misses Lucy Mae Mil
ner and Janie Lynn Bush as teach

ADVISE AGAINST
SPECIAL CROPS
Farmers will make more money by
raising livestock and a general crop
than by trying out every new crop
that is proposed, in the opinion of
W. G. Middlebrooks, Bibb County
agent, and J. A. Johnson, district
agricultural agent, both of whom
have their offices in the Macon Cham
ber of Commerce building.
In talking about the methods by
which farmers in this section can
make money, year in and year out,
the farm agents are confident that
no better way can be found than
that of raising a few hogs, several
head of cattle, and a general crop.
“Specialized crops are fine, pro
vided the farmer has plenty of land
and plenty of labor,” declared these
men yesterday. “But for the farm
er w T ho wants to make money con
sistently, we recommend the other
method.”
According to available informa
tion, this opinion has been borne out
time after time. In the last few
days, there have been several sales
of fat hogs which show conclusively
that the farmer who raised hogs
along with his other crops last year
is the man who is making money.
One farmer in Thomas County,
through efficient methods of grazing,
and keeping external and internal
parasites from his hogs, was able to
market twelve head of Durocs, aver
aging 320 pounds, at just a little
over a year old. According to the
farm agents, there is no doubt about
that man getting a good profit on his
hog crop. This was not the first
time over a period of several months
that this same farmer has sold heavy
meaters at a good price.
On January 13, more than 100,000
pounds of hogs were sold in Turner
County, Mr. Johnson stated. On the
following day, 90,000 pounds went
into a co-operative sale in Thomas
county, and the prices were $9.74
and $7.75 in the respective sales, giv
ing the growers quite a substantial
profit.
“The significant point for consid
eration is how some men saw far
ahead enough to understand that
higher prices for Georgia hogs were
sure to come,” said Mr. Johnson,
and he continued, “then how they are
producing hogs at a profit by incor
porating successful practices is an
other outstanding fact. They have
not been plungers in the hog growing
game, for they have been consistent
and steady producers, not in one tine
and out the next time heard from.”
Each county agent and his agricul
tural board cannot do a better thing
than to plan and urge sane hog pro
duction in counties, it was learned.
Their hog growing program should
emphasize the importance of rotation
grazing and crops and proper hand
ling to insure low costs of produc
tion.

THE PARABLE OF
THE TITLED BARBER
I sojourned for a Moon in an Uni
versity Club in the Wildnerness.
And on the day before the Sabbath,
I sought the shop of the Barber.
And it was a well-appointed shop.
And I inquired of the Barber, saying,
Canst thou trim a Beard? For that
hath become well nigh a Lost Art.
And he gave me a cold look, and
inquired. Knowest thou who it is to
whose shop thou hast come?
And I knew not, and told him so.
And he said. In Berlin, where I
learned my trade, I trimmed the
Beards of the most famous Generals
in the German army. And I went
with a Titled Nobleman to Japan,
and was wounded at the Boxer siege
of Peking. And for three seasons I
was at Shepherd’s in Cairo, where
came the Titled and the Renowned.
And for four summers at Hamburg
I was Barber to His Royal Highness
Prince Albert Edward, who was later
King Edward the Seventh.
And I knew not whether he was a
Great Traveler or a Greater Liar,
hut I afterward learned that he spake
the truth.
And he said, The man who last
To Stop a Cough Quick

trimmed thy Beard should be in
Gehenna.
And I did not dispute him.
And he said, I can do little in one
trimming, for some Farmer hath
hacked at thy Beard, but in a Month
it shall be well.
Now after the second trimming, he
said, Thou remindest me of General
Hindenburg. And after the third,
he said, His Majesty King Edward
the Seventh also was a handsome
Man. And after the fourth, he
looked at me as a fine example of
his art. and said, King Edward the
Seventh had nothing on thee.
Now on that very day, 1 left that
pleasant place. And as I was on the
Train, a lady stopped me, and said,
Pardon me, sir, but I must speak
with thee. For lam from Virginia,
and thou art the very picture of our
own great General Robert E. Lee.
It is said to take Seven Tailors to
make a man, but one can do some
thing toward making him feel like a
man; and as for Barbers, the num
ber need be less than seven if they
be men of such dignity and prowess
as the Barber of whom I write.
For I have never been a man vain
of my Personal Appearance, nor very
careful of my Garb. If anything, I
have rather neglected these things
than thought too much of them. But
nothing that I ever put into my
Brain, and no goodness that I ever
acquired for my Spiritual Bettering,
ever caused me on one day to be
thought to resemble King Edward
the Seventh and General Robert E.
Lee.
And I spake thereof unto Keturah,
and she said,
He is, indeed, a most excellent
barber, but it was not thee he praised,
but his own skill. Nevertheless, it
were well for thee to be a little more
careful even of external appearance.
For it is and must be by this that
the world doth often judge.—New
York Watchman-Examiner.

Central of Georgia Passenger Trains
98 Per Cent On Time In 1924
The Central of Georgia recognizes that the operation of trains on time is one of the main fac
tors in that satisfactory service which the public has a right to expect.
It is a matter of pride to the Central of Georgia that in Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-four
98 per cent of its passenger trains were on time. During the year we operated on our 1920 miles
of track 37,269 passenger trains, of which 36,509 maintained schedule. The record by months for
1923-1924 is as follows:
1924 1923
January 97.3% 1 95.6%
February 98.0 • 94.0
March 98.0 94.9
April 97.7 95.5
May 98.7 97.5
June 98.8 1 97.8
July 96.7 • 98.2
August 99.1 ' 97.6
September 99.8 98.3
October 99.2 98.5
November 98.0 98.1
December 94.8 96.3
Average 98.0 96.9
The passenger on the Central of Georgia may rely upon much more than on-time arrival at his
destination. He is assured of safety. For the part 8 years this railway has had hut one passen
ger fatality, and this was an individual who fell off the back platform where he was standing, hit
on his head and was killed. In these 8 years the Central of Georgia has carried more than 32,-
000,000 passengers.
Provision for the comfort of the traveling public is made by modern steel equipment. Con
stant improvements are being made to the track so as to insure smooth riding. New locomotives
are purchased annually and the motive power is kept in a high state of efficiency, thereby guard
ing against engine failure with their consequent annoying delays. In 1924 the Central of Georgia
had fewer engine failures than at any time in its history, its locomotives averaging 92,742 miles
per engine failure.
These are some of the things which indicate the ability of the Central of Georgia to render
efficient passenger transportation service.
The same elements enter into the making of efficient freight transportation service. The
demands of modern business are such that shippers and receivers of freight desire the assurance
of prompt handling. This railrbad operates what are known as through or manifest freight trains
on fast schedules. In 1924 of the 5,399 manifest freight trains operated, 6,033, or 93.2 per cent,
were on time.
In ail department.? of the railway employes take great pride in our reputation for efficiency
and courtesy.
Service is now the only basis of competition among the railroads and it is the purpose of the
Central of Georgia to develop to the highest degree the organization, equipment and facilities for
satisfactory service.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.
