vol J. FRMK STEPHENS PUSSES m After Long Illness Promi nent Citizen Succumbs to Death. Mr. J. Frank Stephens, for many years one of Cartersville’s leading bvsiness men, passed away at his home on last Thursday evening at seven o’clock after an illness of sev eral weeks. He had suffered for some time from a complication of diseases and, although his death was not un expected, yet it brought sincerest grief to his many friends and relatives in Cartersville and Bartow county. Mr. Stephens was born in Canton cm February 27, 1856. In 1874 he mov ed to Cartersville and entered the grocery business. About fifteen years ago he retired from active business By his careful methods and good judgment Mr. Stephens had amassed a considerable amount of property. He was always interested in civic af fairs and served as councilman for a number of years. He was also an ac five member of the Methodist church, having been a steward for some time. Mr. Stephens is survived by his wife, who was formerly Miss Viola Gemes, by one son, Frank Stephens, Jr., and by six daughters, Mrs. J. H. Wofford, Mrs. Madison Milam, Mrs. Luther Richards, of Calhoun, Misses Sarah, Lucile and Rachel Stephens. Also by two sisters, Mrs. Mary A. Davis, of Astor, Texas, and Mrs. W. P. Laramore, of Bradentown, Fla., and Cartersville, Ga., and by one brother, Mr. John A. Stephens, of Cartersville. The funeral was conducted on Sat urday morning at 10 o’clock at the residence by Rev. WT, T. Hunnicutt, his pastor. The pall bearers were mem bers of the board of stewards of the Methodist church: Messrs. R. M. Gaines. R. B. Harris, Newt Bradley T. E. Vaughan, J. P. Adair and J. L. Landers, and he was laid to rest In Oak Hill cemetery. Mr. John E. Stephens, of Rome, Mr Robert Stephens, of Adalrsvllle, and Mr. Luther Richards, of Calhoun, were present at his funeral. THE MIGHTY POWER OF INTEREST. A financial expert writing for the New York Globe, Atlanta Journal and many other great dailies, says: “If $3.00 is put aside every week, upon a 4% annual interest, it will jield in ten years, $1,904.44, in twenty years $4,795.30, in thirty years $3,976.48 and in forty years over $15,000.00”. That is true. It is also true, that if a man saves one-third of his salary for thirty-five years upon the same interest basis he will then have the balance of his life end to eternity, a monthly income equal to the full salary. If the power of 4% annual interest i* so great, why isn’t the co-operative opportunity of our Local Building & Loan Association, that invests only in first mortgage realty, and yields 6% to 8% for its savings, a far greater opportunity? You may look to congress this year for wide discussion on Rural Credits ft r the masses. When it is developed i*- will be local communities entering in person, a mutual or co-operative organization to help one another and the first applicant who secures best the vested money, receives first help. That’s building and loan by anew and more popular name. For the last few years, pushing cit izens of Cartersville have urged the clerk, wage earner, farmer, all, to Ijtve With System, and have built up '4if organization of over $100,000.00 |-jjth a safe and just system to every ■fe arson. 1 iThe Building & Txian Association is iililt for assistance to those who need Pdlp.

THR BARTOW TRIBUNE PRESBYTERIANS Hitt BANQUET Future of Church is Planned and Discussed at “Get- Together-Meeting”. Thursday evening the ladies of the First Presbyterian church gave a most delightful banquet to the Presbyterian men of our city. Formal invitations, enclosing tickets of admission, were issued to about one hundred men. The Sunday school room was transformed into the appearance of a modern cafe a long table seating about twenty-five being placed in the center and smaller tables in the surrounding class rooms Spotless linen and dainty flower dec orations added to the beauty andcheer iuess of the scene. At the appointed hqur the invited guests gathered around the board, and then the men got busy, and if the lively animation and intense activity here shown coull be transferred to the other depart ments of church work, well, the mel lifluous num of her machinery could be heard around the world. The repast being over, a number o brief, pointed talks were made along lines of interest to the church. Mr. Joseph S. Calhoun, president of the First National Bank, presided, intro ducing the speakers in a most pleas ing and appropriate manner. Judge T W. Milner talked on “Our individ ual responsibility to the church.” He pressed the thought that religion was a personal matter. We do not get into heaven in denominations or families or societies. When the books are op ened each man will be judged accord ing to the writing in his own book. Mr. Henry Milam, county superintend ent of education, spoke on “The great est need of our church.” He pointed cut that religion consists not alone in lingering on the mountain top of vision with the Master; but in minis tering to the needs of those in the valley below. The pendulum must swing from the light of the transfig uring presence to the dusty w r alks of men where the tired toilers and suf ferers are longing for our loving sym pathy and help. The great need of the church today i not so much men who will give, as men who will go. In various reports which were read several facts were brought out which gave special sat isfaction to the members of this ciiurch. It was shown that in the mat ter of giving to the entire work of the Kingdom during the past year this church stood easily at the top. The only church in Cherokee Presbytery approaching our record gave about $13.00 per member for all causes while, we gave a little more than SIB.OO per member. It was especially gratifying that this goodly pro rata came almost entirely as a free will offering. No high pressure method was used in connection with any cause. Our plan was to make a simple straightforward statement of the needs of any particu lar cause, requesting the people to bring whatever offering they felt they ought to make to the cause. The key note to the spirit of the meeting was sounded by one brother who said that he felt that this gather ing represented a high water mark in the history of our church and that it made him glad he was a Presby terian. All were a unit in the belief ti-at such “get-to-gether” meetings would be a great source of uplift to cur men and tbs suggestion that an other be held at an early date was heartily approved.

It is not too early to have our ac tention directed to an enterprise of which we are all proud and justly so —The Bartow County Fair. Plans for this year’s Fair are being discussed and during next week the stock holders will have a meeting at which definite plans will be made and announced. In the meantime it will be well to direct our thought toward the Fair; what it can mean to Bartow countv and what each one can do to help i‘ along. In the first place Cartersville pos sesses what has been said to be the prettiest and best equipped fair ground for a small town in the entire state. Of course we all know that no county, the country over, can boast <*f more resources than Bartow. We have the resources, we have the op portunity to exhibit them, we have the best place to exhibit them. The onlv conclusion is, then, that the success ■jt failure depends on the individual — on ea-'h of us. The officials of the Fair Associa tion are untiring workers and have never failed to give their best efforts jp every instance. But interested and active as they are, they cannot make a success of the Fair without the help ..{ the people. Now is the time to begin to plan and especially are the farmers urged to begin to think, plan and work for the Fair. On no other class of busines-. n.en does the Fair depend more since ii is the farmer that develops much of old Bartow’s richness. Not only does the farmer give help, but re ceives it. The best and most modern methods are advanced and each im provement helps the people much. Now is the time to begin to plan. When the Fair “fever” proper seizes us it will be too late. Plan now and not at harvesting time. And may each farmer contribute and help the people realize just how rich we are. There will be new features intro duced, and the prizes will be well worth the effort. In the ladies’ department there will also be new features and. as good as last year’s Fair was, let us make this cne twice as good. Also it isn’t too early to begin boosting. Tell the world what a good p'ace you live in, tell them the Fail 111 prove it and before very long they will be believing you. DINNER.

H. G. Hastings Tells of Enthusiastic Plans Already Under Way in Geor gia. Atlanta, Ga. —Enthusiastic plans arc already under way in Georgia for the 1914 Corn Club contests and for an ocher big show like the one widen took place at the state capitol in De cember and brought hundreds of sturdy farmer boys to Atlanta from all sections of the state. H. G. Hastings, chairman of the ag riculture committee of the Atlanta Chaifiber of Commerce and manager of the Georgia State Corn Show, will have general charge of the exhibitioi again this year. It was through the influence of Mr. Hastings that the Chamber of Commerce took up the Corn Show work, and his Interest has teen a leading factor in its success. It is impossible to estimate the val ue of the Corn Club movement to Geor g.a agriculture. The production of corn in Georgia has been increased be tween $30,000,000 and $40,000,000 dur ing the past six years. The fathers o* the Corn Club boys, who first looked on the movement as a fad, have at last come to realize its great practi cal value, and are now as much inter ested as the boys in increasing the productiveness of their land. The corn club movement has spread a\ over the south, and extensive plans for this year are' being made in prac 'tically; all the? Sohtherji states. Mr. Bastings has renewed fir 1914 his of fer of $1,200 in coni club prizes to be distributed among the iten principal southern corn-growing states. The H G. Hastings prizes in Georgia include a $250 scholar ship at-the of Agriculture and cash pvi*e9< of sf?o and S2O. The Hastings scholarship was won last year by Carl Campbell of Pauld ing county, who 168 bushels a > acre at a prof if F !T ; state record was made by Edward Wellborn of Morgan Xjopityi wi,tb i£l tusliels.

PLANS TO PRESENT A EUGENICS BILL. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28.—The plans to present a eugenics bill at the next ses sion of the legislature to regulate mar riages in Georgia, will probably have to be revised or abandoned altogether as the result of the constitutional snags struck by similar measures in Wisconsin and other states where they have been tried. • The fact that the Wisconsin meas ure cannot be enforced is taken to mean the likelihood that the bill pro posed for Georgia in its present form could not be enforced either, even though it passed the legislature. The Georgia bill was to be concern ed first with health and secondly with social conditions. It was to provide that sufferers from incurable diseases should not be permitted to marry, and to force all persons contemplating matrimony to state whether they have e/er been married before. The bill proposed to make tt nec essary, as under, JVlsconsih law. that a medicaj certificate should be necessary to tl\e of i mir r’age license. It was not however, to interfere on medical grounds, except (or the gravest rea sons. SayfsV idolO ml iljt .
