CONTEST COMES TO NAUGHT
Final action on the Poach coun
ty controversy was taken Tuesday
by Governor Thomas W Hard
wick when he announced he would
not issue a proclamation declaring
the recent amendment creating
this county ratified by the people.
The governor said the law re
quired that he should issue a pro
clamation when the secretary of
certified to him that such amend
ments ^vere ratified, In this ease
the governor said tho secretary of
state had certified to him that the
amendments had been defeated by
a majoi ity of approximately 7,000
votes, and for this reason no pro
clamation would be issued.
This action on the part of the
governor pnls an end to the oon*
troversy over Poach county unless
those supporting the A amendment
want to take the matter into
fcourts,

na Gray was the chief scorer for
the Perry boys. Charlie Morgan
of Macon was the official referee.
Wednesday the boys went to
play Mars,hallville in the hardest

The Set of the Sails
“One ship drives east, another west
With the self same winds that blow;
’Tfs the set of sails
And not the gales,
Which decides the way we go.”—Anon.
Are yon drifting with the wind, or have you
got your sails sot for a goal? It is easy to drift
with the wind or tide but it takes will 6r energy
to reach a goal.
We can take advantage of the gale if we will ■
set our sails of energy, determination hnd thrift.
And though we may be tossed about by reverses
and discouragement, each one we overcome will
make us just that much stronger and batter
equipped to mount the next obstacle..
Arc you getting ahead financially, or are you
drifting with the wind? There is no ,lialf way
measure, for if you are not getting ahead you are
falling back every doy you let. pass without' in
creasing your resources.
We feel an interest in you and want to see you
get ahead. Set your sails and let us help you
reach the goal. It, is our purpose to give you,the
best the very best there is in banking, to give you
all the encouragement possible and assist you in
every we can.
