Bank Deposits Insured
By the Bank of Smyrna

The quarter OF page advertisement
of the Bank of Smyrna, which appears
in this weeks issue OF the Journal
and Courier, contains a good picture
of the new bank building, which is
beautifully fitted up and has a fine
vault. One feature of the Bank of
Smyrna is the fact that the deposits
are insured-that they are insured so
that no matter what might happen the
depositors would get their money.
The bank has started off with fine
business and will do great good for
the live little city OF Smyrna and that
section OF the county.
Undoubtedly the place for money is
in a bank. Farmers are bankin @
their surplus cash now more than ever
before. The newspapers recently
published an account of how 500. DOC
belonging to farmer was burned in
West Virginia about two weeks ago.

All these towns are in Georgia, in
our immediate section, and are not
scattered all over the face of the
earth. Marietta has a better PROPOSE
ton than any of these towns had for
electric lights for the reason that all
the bond issue asked for is $40, 900 90,
and this amount is simply to build a
poll line, buy the wires, lights and
meters. The city has everything else
bought and paid for. We have our
superintendent, our own engineer and
other employees connected with the
running of the water department, and
the only additional expense will be a
| night fireman, one lineman and the
| additional coal All the other en-
partment can run the electric light
system without additional expense.
The city of Marietta today pays
$4,000 per year to the old light COM
pany for electric lights. The interest
on the bonds per year will be but
100000, with small amount for
sinking fund, and the electric light
system would be paying proposition
from the start. Besides, the plant
planned lights the city three times bet
ter than it is lighted at present.
The present owners of the Kenne-
saw Paper Company have no just
complaint. They were warned and
| notified before they bought this plant
that Marietta was going to have
municipal ownership, and they bought
at their own risk
The Board of Lights and Water
Works has no personal interest in this
matter of any kind whatever, but it is
to the interest of every taxpayer and
( citizen in the city of Marietta, and all
citizens who are interested in the
growth and advancement of the town
are urged to register and vote for
bonds. 1t is the best business propo-
sition the city has ever had.
Respectfully,

- is real name was James Richards.
He was the son Of a ranchmnn llv-
ing on the plains Of Texas. He
was Is years old and as expert
horseman as any cowboy between
the eastern borders of Oklahoma and the
western borders OF Arizona. He was an
ADEPT with the lasso, which gave him the
name of "Lasso Jim" Every person liv-

OF course, he had not taken part In the

fourteenth year, for his weight would
not have made 1t possible. But on reach
ing his fourteenth year he found himself
tall and muscular and strong, measuring
and weighing equally with youths two
and three years his senior. He was keen
of observa ton, quick of movement, sure
in action and as brave as an Indian
chief.

barring the customary intemperance and
profanity. Indeed. the Richards family
bad a certain innate refinement which
was admirable.
One morning early in April, and while
the Richards family were still seated at
the table. Mr. Richards suddenly changed
the subject from cattle and alfalfa to
New York city, far. far away. The cause
OF his thoughts flying across the great
continent was a letter which Jim had
brought from the town 10 miles distant
the previous evening. The epistle had
come from the great American metropo-
lis, New York city, and was from Mr..
Richards sister, who had recently moved
there from the Middle West. And she
was describing the wonders OF New York,
adding at the end Of the letter: why.

great time in New York. We-you and
cant go this spring, but there's no
reason why Jim sban't have the trip"

ton. How he had longed to see the east

to search the house. They soon found
the cash box under q pillow of bed, and
on opening II, swore harsh oaths Of DIS

Mrs Heally. demanding to know where
the c0unty's money was hidden. That
poor lady was 50 astonished on seeing
that the money was not In the box that
she almost tainted. But she quickly re-
covered herself and told the truth, taat
she thought till this minute the money

one man went to the front yard and
Another did the same In the rear Of the
house. But not q dollar could they md.
After yainly searching till the dawn ap-
peared, one Of the robbers said: That
villain carried the money with him. Well,
Wen lay for him on his way home. Then
with curses, they bound and gagged
the three HeaIlys and departed.
Somehow Tom managed to get his
hands loosened. then he slipped the rope
from his wrists. An hour after the rob
bers had left the house Tom had HIM

then Dottie ran to the kitchen aud
brought forth q loaf Of bread and .
