Wilkinson County Bank
Deposits Insured
The Wilkinson County Bank
received a telegram on Monday
stating that they had been ac
cepted under the Government
Insurance plan. We congratu
late them on passing this test,
This is the first bank organized
in this county and has been in
continuous operation for more
than thirty years. F. B. Cham
bers, the president, and H. E.
Stephens, the cashier, have held
these positions for the past 23
years.
This bank has • always given
first consideration to the safety
of its depositors’ money and has
passed safely through all the pe
riods of panic and now, after
several years of the depression,
is still safe and sound. We pre
dict that their business will con
tinue to grow.
New Eledric Rates
Homes throughout the greater part
of Georgia began the New Year with
the advantage of new electric rates
which are the lowest ever offered in
the history of the state, as a result of
the reduction in residential electric
rates of the Georgia Power company
ordered by the Georgia Public Serv
ice commission. The new rates be
came effective with meter readings on
and after January 1.

WILKINSON COUNTY BANK
Toomsboro, Georgia
Wilkinson County, Georgia. Number 6. Friday,
Irwinton,
Leisure, for Georgia Homes.” con
taining a full explanation of the new
rates has been prepared by the power
company for the information of the
public, and copies may be obtained at
any office or store of the company.
Unusual features of the new rate
will make this booklet of interest to
every customer. Not only does the
new rate reduce the annual electric
bills of the 108,000 homes served bv
the company by a total of $6^0,000,
but the rate structure now in effect
contains new provisions that make it
entirely different from any type of
rate ever before offered in Georgia.
Chief among these is the fact that
customers may obtain varying am
ounts of "free electricitv’’ and also, by
increasing their use of electricity, may
ob f ain an even lower rate than the
rate which went into effect for all cus
tomers on January 1.
"11 all of our 108,000 residential
customers use all of the free eleett ici
ty to which they are entitled undor
the new rates, they can get a total of
more than 20,000,000 kilowatt hours
of extra electricity during 1934 with
out affecting the $660,000 reduction
in their bills,” it is stated.
The public does not yet realize the
extent of the reduction >n electric
rates which has been given them by
the commission’s order, so the compa
ny has published this booklet in order
that the present and prospective cus
tomers may be informed of the new
opportunities which have been opened
up to them-

NO LEGISLATION can entirely
take the place of “old-fashioned”
standards of honesty. “Full measure
is more a matter of character than of
law. Our pound has always been
made up of sixteen ounces.
