In Our Banking Rooms in
Masonio Hall Building.
Being centrally located, having recently installed new and
modern office fixtures, and having efficient and accommoda
ting office force under direct supervision of an officer of the
- x Bank, we feel justified in making the assertion that every
consideration consistent with good banking is accorded our
patrons.
Organized in 1903 With $15,000.00. capital and no resources
we now point with pardonable pride to our capital of
$25 000.00, undivided profits of over $10,000.00 and deposit
aoocunt of $70,000.00. In our SAVINGS DEPARTMENT
we pay interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum.
- In addition to our capital, stockholders' liability and sur
plus, for the further protection of our depositors, we carry
insurance against burglary and daylight hold-ups.
If you are not a customer of this bank you are the loser.

IRWINTON, WILKINSON COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19,1909.
Talmage Institute Notes,
Miss Cora Price, one of our bright
est students, is confined to her room
this week with la grippe. Everybody
is earnestly hoping that “Sambo” will
soon recover. We miss her so much.
Prof. Stokes made the startling an
nouncement at Chapel Wednesday
morning that he wanted everybody to
get every lesson perfectly, so that
there would be no afternoon session
after four o’clock. But one passing
the academy just before dark will
hear him still pleading. We would
not be surprised to see the academy
lit up any night.
The S. I. O. Society held its reg
ular meeting last Friday evening. The
following program was rendered:
Reading, Bertha Stinson.
Composition, Minor Shepherd.
Reading, Ruby Culpepper.
Recitation —Ruby Burney.
Recitation, Edna Eerie Raines.
Essay, Carrol Nesbitt.
Recitation, Nellie Stinson.
Debate—Resolved, That a girt
should be better educated than a boy.
Affirmative, Lola Hatfield, Cora
Price. Negative, Horace Lindsey,
Lee Hatfield. The debate was great.
Many fine points were brought out
on both sides, after much considera
tion and due deliberation decided in
favor of the affirmative. One of the
negative side was absent ;so the de
bate could hardly be considered 8
just one. There will be another de
bate next Friday: Resolved, That a
woman should vote. The S. I. O. So
ciety cordially invites the public to
attend.
Mrs. Manson and Miss Mary Glov
er made the school a pleasant call
Friday.
Professor W. C. Stokes and Miss
Essie Stokes, accompanied by Miss
Rossie Lindsey and Mr. Horace Lind
sey, visited the family of the former’s
parents Saturday and Sunday in
Twiggs. They report a fine time.
However, they were hardly able to
stay awake Monday, having lost three
nights’ sleep.
Minor Shepherd says that if he can
not learn Latin, he advises every
body else to leave it alone.
The library is in fine condition
nok. Several new magazines are put
in every day. The librarian will have
published later the rules and regu
lations of the library.
LOLA AND CAROL.
Self-Convicted.
“The constable seems wonderfully
certain about the details of my case,”
said a defendant with a sneer; “but
how is it he doesn’t call his fellow
officer to corroborate what he says?”
“There’s only one constable station
ed in the village, sir,” exclaimed the
policeman.
“But 1 saw two last night,” indig
nantly asserted the defendant.
“Exactly,” the' policeman rejoined,
smiling broadly,‘‘that’s jest the charge
against you!”—Punch.
The Saddest Words.
Said a poet to an unfortunate spec
ulator:
“Don’t ^ou think that the opening
lines of Tennyson’s little poem,‘Break,
break, break,’ are plaintive and sad?”
“Yes,” was the melancholy reply ;
‘ but I think that ‘Broke, broke, broke,’
is a good, deal sadder.” —Current Lit
erature.

Progress of the United States.
। . - 1 ■
(Composed and Read By a Pupil ci Snowhill School, Twelve Years of
Age.)
The United States has made mo.e progress than any other nation
since its first settlement which was at Jamestown, Virginia, in the
year of 1607. When it was first cdonized the United States was inhab
ited by wild savage tribes of Indians, and there were no schools, no
railroads, no telegraph nor uo churches. One of the greatest steps to
ward progress was when the United States gained independence from
Great Britain. By gaining independence our soldiers won the world's
fame. Now there are military and naval academies for training our
young men for war. There are colleges and universities. Each man is
entitled to his own religion. In the United States there are gold, silver,
lead, iron, copper, tin and bronze mines, and mining is an important
industry in all parts of our count: y. It raises all its own products for
its people and some to sell to fori ign countries. The land has been
improved and it produces what we eat and wear; since its discovery
the wildernesses have been cleared and cultivated. The land that does
not have any rain to grow crops is irrigated and produces fine crops.
There have been oil wells, gas and electricity discovered. Electricity is
useful and valuable for countless things. Think of the comparison be
tween the tallow candle of olden times aud the electric lights of the
present day and oil warming us. lie United States ht-o the best war
ships, torpedo boats gunboats, battleships and guns In the world. They
have factories to manufacture the.'r guns and cartridges. Their battle
ships are covered ..with steel armor. The cotton gin was invented by Eli
Whitney. It has helped the progress of the southern part of the United
States by decreasing the cost of ginning cotton. Cunais have been cut
throughout the United States to shorten the distance of steamboats
when carrying freight and returnjig. Rivers have oeen drug so as to
allow transportation farther up the river.
The forests are being hewn down and made into numerous articles teo
numerous to mention. There are both hardwood and softwood forests.
The pine yields tar, pitch, rasin and turpentine which is used as a med
icine for man ancF beast. * W. B. R.
Jeweled Buckles.
The large jeweled buckles are
again the vogue, and they appear
upon the very finest hats. While
many are of fine metal and jewels,
yet we see good creations in buckles
fashioned of satin, soutache, jet and
other millinery materials.
Creamy Satin Gowns.
Creamy satin or faille is in great
demand for Directoire gowns, with
chiffon tunic in color.
SI.OO a Year.
Pearl Trimmings,
When pearls or pearl trimmings
begin to-lose their whiteness it is a
good plan to pack them away in a box
containing powdered magnesia, which
after a time will restore their lustre.
The powder should be laid at the bot
tom of the box and the pearls be
placed upon it.
Course-Meshed Nets.
The heavy, coarse-meshed nets are
newest both for waists and for veils.
