The warm friendly welcome with which the custo

makes them immediately feel “at home” in the bank.

direct,? personal attention, that your account is made of
the greatest importance to you. ~Again, if you desire able
unbiased advice on a matter'of financial investment, you
will always find that any one of the officers will gladly
give you his intelligent opsnion.
Wouldn't you like to do business with such a bank?

Interesting Characlers
Atlanta, Sept. s.—The pictur
esque character and reputation of
the two djstingflished gentlemen
for the judgship of the Blue Ridge
circuit before the meeting of the
state executive committee here
yesterday, made the session an
unusually interesting one.
Judge H. L. Patterson, of Cum
minos, looked after the details of
his fight in person. Judge Pat
terson, whose nickname, used
ohly by his intimate fridfidls of
course, is ‘‘Snacks,”” looks like a
character taken out of one of
Dickens’ novels. His life has
been spent in his home section,
Forsythe county, and among peo
ple who have known his family
for generations, he finally won
the title of judge as a tribute to
his sterling qualifications.
~ Judge ‘‘Newt’’ Morris, his op
onent, is better known through
out the staie. Jadge Livavis cumes
of real fighting stock. In fact,
so far ac it comports with judie
ial dignity, Judge Morris has been
domething of a fighter himself.
The Morris clan in Cobb county
have the reputation of being hard
to beat.

THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE
South Georgia at The
Minnesota- State Fair
The Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic Railroad has sent to the
Minnesota State Fair at Mammel,
Minn., five miles from St. Paul,
a splendid exhibit of the wonder
f.l agricultural resources of the
South Georgia country. The ex
hibit consists of ' splendid speci
mens of all agricultural products
raiced in South Georgia.. '
Several enterprising Mianesota
people have moved to the South
Georgia country recently as a re
sult of the A., B. & A. Railroad’s
publicity eampaign, and one of
these gentleman is endeavoring
to induce others in his State to
come to South .Georgia. This
gentleman is with the exhibit,
assisting every way possible.
In addition to exploiting the
agricultural resources of the
South Georgia country, the In
dustrial Department of the A.,8.
& A. Raiiroad propuses. to spec
ialize on the livestock industry.
As an evidence of what can be
accomplished in this direction, a
hog farm has been established
two and one-half miles southwest
of Douglas, Ga., where Durcc
Jersey hogs are being raised most
successfully. Exhibits of this
splendid herd of hogs will be
placed at the Alabama State Fair,
Birmingham, and the Georgia
State Fair at Macon.
There is no redson why the en
tire South Georgia section should
not be made a splencid livestock
country. In fact, one county—
Brooks—is an excellent example
of what can be accomplished
along this line, as that county
not only raises enough meat for
home consumption, but sells to
adjoining counties as well. :
Deputy Grand Master William
MecCormick instituted an Odd Fel
lows lodge with thirty memibers
last Saturday at Bay Springs; and
next Friday will institute a lodge
at Pleasant Grove. :
Miss Maggie Mul’s many
friends will be interested to know
that she has been appointed to.a
clerk’s position in the Pension De
partment of the Government in
Washington, D. C., at a splendid
salary.
Mrs, George E. Ricker is ex
pected home Sunday from Pond

has been quite ill during the warm

[MI Europe Laughs
‘ At New York City
New York, Sept. 4. —The Ros
enthal case and its revelations
have made New York city the
laughing stock of Europe, accord
ing to Professor Felix Adler, of
Columbia, who returned from The
Hague on- beard the Kronprin
zeasin Cecille. o '
“All Europe,”’ said Adler, “is
pointing the finger of ridicule at
this city and wondering why such
things are permitted in a civiliz
ed country. They do not under
stand how such conditions can
exist.”’
