OLD OFFICIALS 0 T
NEW OFFICALS IN
The Keys to be Given Up By
Several Officials.
When the Journal goes to press
next week there will be a complete
changing around in the officials
who have had charge about the
court house. Some old officials ex
perienced in the work coming back.
ORDINARY.
On the first day of January
Judge Perkins will deliver up the
keys of the Ordinary’s office to
Judge T. F. Hill. Judge Perkins
has held the office one term only,
but during that term he made some
poliUcal enemies and some lifelong
fi i n,is. Under his administration
several milt's of good roads have
been built. Judge Perkins’ idea
of road building has l>een along the
line of permanency. Short ning
the obtance between points lias
be n his hobby. The distance lie
tm.i, Homer and .Maysville has
been made several hundred yards
shorter; the distance between
Hon , r and Commerce is estimated
to be at least one and one halt milt's
ghoi ter. During t his term of office
the county roads in the southern
and eastern sections only have lieen
wi iked, leavingso far, the wesbru
and northern portions without
wink. All the roads could not be
work' and in one term of oftici —noi
two terms either. It takes time
to make permanent improvenienfs.
The lew miles of toads and the halt
dozen bridges will lw a monument
to J mtge Perkins for years to come.

Big Business- ’’

BANKS COUNTY JOURNAL
Devoted to Giving the News, Encouraging the Progress, and Aiding the Prosperity of Banks County.
It takes time and money to make
hose improvements.
Judge Hill who succeeds Judge
Perkins was elected on a platform
of economy. Judge Hill has pre
viously had an experience of thirty
two years in the administration of
the affairs of the county, and a
majority of the people lielieved
that they could get a more eoonorn
ieal administration of the county
affairs by re electing him as Ordi
nary.
SHERIFF.
In the Sheriffs office Mr. F. M.
Henderson will retire. No man in
the State has served so many dif
ferent terms as Mr. Henderson.
This time and some others, he re
tired voluntarily, at other times by
defeat. Wherever known he is
regarded as a terror to evil doei-s,
and many compliments have been
paid him over the circuit and over
the State as to his prompt service
as an official. This may be the last
that The Journal will have to say
of him as sheriff, but he is to sue
Cted Pap tain Frost as Warden of
the convict camps. We will sec
and hear more of Mr. Henderson in
road building. In the future it
will be ‘‘Captain” Henderson.
On New Year’s day the keys to
the jail will be handed over to Mr.
G. M. Barden. Many of you re
member him as “Old George” for
he has served the county before as
Sheriff for two terms, and volunta
rily retired two years ago. Mr.
Barden is now domiciled in the
jail awaiting the coming of Jan. 1.
CLERK.
In the Clerk’s office, Mr. C. A.
Meeks w ill vacate,-and Mr. C. W.
Gillespie will take charge. Mr.
Homer, Banks County, Georgia, Thursday, December 26, 1912.

IDLE MONEY
There is idle money in every community—money not in
use, not even safely deposited in a reliable bank. It is hid
away, carried on the person, liable to loss by file, thief, and
many other causes. Idle money makes no one a cent. Its the
money in circulation that stimulates business. The more mo
ney in circulation, the higher the price and the lower the
rates of interest. Bring your idle money to this bank, where
it will be safe, and always subject toyour check. It will help
you, it will help us, it will help the community. Idle money
is as useless to business as an idle man.

BALDWIN. G-A.
Meeks has held the office for ten
years. Mr. Gillespie is quite a
young man, a straightforward
Christian gentleman, and it is pre
dicted that he will make as good
an official as any of his predecessors.

Receiver; X. /. Chandler, Tax-
Collector, and E. 8. Carter, County
Treasurer, are each serving a
second term.
Mr. L. N. Turk will vacate the
office of County Surveyor. Mr.
Turk has a long record also as an
official—having served as Surveyor
or Clerk almost continuously since
back in the seventies. The duties
of this office go to Mr. R. A.
Wynn.
Mr. H. C. McDonald retires from
the office of Coroner aud these du
ties will bo taken up by Mr. J. W.
Parsons.
To the out going officials The
Journal extends its best wishes; to
the incoming they will have the
support and best wishes of The
Journal for whatever is for the
progress and up building of the
county.
A Happy Christmas and a Pros
perous New Year, to the old, as

of The Journal.
