. When it is learned that according
o census figures the Powder Springs
&* rict is one of, if not the leading
Udistrict in the state in regard to per
_capita wealth, it is not so difficult
%o understand the additional fact that
this little city of 300 people, situated
:;?&one of the best agricultural coun
ties“ of the state, is unsurpassed in
the county and state in the relative
~amount of business handled by local
- merchants and in the real delightful
‘ness of the little city as a place in
~which to live.
. Powder Springs lies in the south
_west portion of Cobb county, on the
' Southern Railway, distant about 11
_miles from Marietta and approximate
‘ly 25 miles from Atlanta. The cli
_mate is delightful and so healthful
that fevers and the like are very
gmldom known.
~ The city is equipped with water
~and lights which places it on a foot
ing of equality with the larger cities
of the state. Substantial growth is
~evident everywheve, despite the fact
‘that it is an old town and has at the
_present such a small population.
am latter is due to the fact that
‘most of Powder Springs is outside
‘the city limits, the city being only
‘about one half mjle thru so far as
%&afimts are concerned. This throws
‘most of the residents outside of the
_corporate limits.
Several excellent business houses
“supply the people of the city and the
%em of the surrounding territory
%th every variety of merchandise.
. The Bank is one of the most prosper
~ous in the state and has a long record
‘of help and cooperation towards buil
‘ding up the city and district. Some

A long pull and a hard pull; but we will soon be on the top of the hill. You may
talk about courage, facing death at the cannon’s mouth, but the most courageous set
