THE HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD "I see from my house by the side of the road. By the side of the highway of life, The men who press with the ardor of hope, The men wli are faint with the strife But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears ? Both parts of an infinite plan: Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man." ? Sam Walter Foss. After long years of faithful service to its community, the records of a bank indicate nothing more surely than that it has been a "house by the side of the road." Into our doors have pressed thousands of men ? "men who press with the ardor of hope, and men who are faint with the strife." From its beginning, the spirit of this bank has been "Let us live in our house by the side of the road, and be a friend to man." There will not be many readers of this message who will fail to recall some period in their lives when they have sought and found a haven and refuge in this "house by the side of the road." A bank cannot be a philanthropic institu tion ? it would not long be a bank if it were ? but, just so far as sound banking methods would permit, we have tried to be "a friend to man." There is no more conclusiwe evidence of this than may be found in page after page of our bank's records. That is our business T Yes. But, to those of you who have had banking experience in other sections of the country we ask the question: Have you al ways fund a bank to be a "house by the side of the roadT" FIRST NATIONAL BANK Loniabnrg, ff.

This p re-nuptlal aTfalr was beauti ful In every detail. The uests on entering were cor dially welcomed by Miss Allen and presented s.lth beau\Jtul little score cards by Miss Tom Ogburn. Miss Lucy T. Allen then very garcefully guided them into the parlors which were beau tifully decorated In ferns and roses. Tables were arranged for bridge and a very interesting game ensued, after j which a delicious salad course was served. In the midst of this delightful en j ertainment little Carl Allen wearing a sailors suit entered drawing after him a large ship, sails set, colors fly ing and decks decorated in ferns and ptnk roses. Its cargo was gifts for the bride. Its name "The Tolleson" caught every eye and made the briae elect blush most charmingly. Much excitement followed the an choring of this fair vessel as Its where about for some months had been un 1 certain.

Referring to the use of calcium araanate one ez part haa declared that. "It doea not ooat to d?K? it dost coat not to duet." A ootaparlsoc of three method* of poisoning In an average of all taeta conducted H> tha South In 1923 haa been made and these figures show conclusively that It para to uae cal cium arsenate In dust form. The comparison follow*: Florida Method: tTntreated cheok Plata averaged a yield per acre of , *88.7 pounds of eeed cotton; treated Plata average &14J pounds, a gain of UC.6 pound* at a coat of $5.82 an acre with a profit of $7.94. Swaetened Poison*: Untreated check-plat* averaged a yield of 46.3 pound* per acre, while treated plat* averaged 769 pounds, a gain of 101 pounds at a post of f 10.17 an acre and a profit of' ?0.M. Calcium Arsenate In Dust Form: Unteated checks averaged a yield of 566.6 pound* per acre, and untreated plat* averaged 869.3 pounds, a gain of 302.7 pound* at a cost of 97.74 and a profit of %26JM. Thus. It la shown that application of calcium arsenate In dust form In creases the yield, lower* the cost and Increases the profit. Poisoning by this method should be even more prof itable this year under average weather conditions, as the price of calcium arsenate 1* somewhat lower and prob ably will not go higher provided farmers bay their supply early In the season. Dusting with calcium arsenate should be applied with machine* built especially for dusting cotton and the applications made only when the air Is calm and the plantB are moist. This usually means making only night ap plications. From Ave to seven pounds of calcium arsenate should be used to the acre. There should be an Interval of foor or five days between applications un less a heavy rain follow* one appli cation. The cotton should be thor oughly dusted until the weevils are under control. This usually mean* about three applications. Applica tions should be renewed when the infestation again reaches 10 to IS per oent.

(By Jeremiah Tooting Will) To The Voters of Franklin County ? Men and Women: Among the important problems you will be called on to solve tomorrow, your selection of Judge for Recorder's Court is by no means the least. There are five aspirants for this position, on- ! ly one of whom can be elected. The question for you to decide Is WHICH ONE? j I have looked the whole bunch orer one by one. as I trust you will do. And i :I have, without any pressure or out side influence, made my own dellbSr- j ate choice, a thing which all should i I do. and now all I have to do Is to go J | to my voting place and vote for him | ! who. as I beleive. will make the best ! all-round man for the place. And I j shall vote for this one for the follow reasons: 1. He has had years of experience i as a judicial officer and knows from j experience how to handle the business | of the court room; 2. He believes In law-enforcement ? firm sane and consistent. 3. He stands for Justice and ness without discrimination for oi against any one whatever. A fair and square deal for one and all alike. He preaches and practices the doctrine of "equal rights to all and special prlvl-j leges to ntjrte" : and he applies this to all ciasges and conditions alike; 4. He does not belong to any body | whatver. No personal or financial j influence can feel justified In presum ing that they can look over his shoul der and whisper into his ear what disposition he should make of any case fin trial. His decisions will be according to the law and the evi dence ; 5. He repudiates the use of money or anything of value in connection with any election as immoral, crimi nal and felonious, the least punish ment of which is four months in the penitentiary and a fine of not less 'than $1,000.00. I ' At the polls tomorrow there will be j no paid hirelings working for him. Those who vote and work for him will do so purely from patriotic motives and not for reward ot any kind ex cept an ho'neBt and righteous enforce ment of the laws of the land. 6. He has made no canvass for votes for the reason that this is a ju dicial office and should be accerted too high a place In the esteem of the people to be dragged down into a rough and tumble scramble for votes. Having therefore made his announce ment and told you what yon may ex pect of him as a judge, he has left his candidacy In the hands of the fair minded voters of Franklin County, and in quietness and confidence he is leaving the results with you In hope ful expectation that hi* desires will be realized tomorrow when your votes are counted. For these and many other good rea sons, I expect to vote for W. B. MORTON and I trust you will do the same. (Political Advertising) 6-6-lt
