GAIiiESVILLE MIDLAND KAILWAY IN HANDS OF RECEIVERS Effective February 15th, Gor don C. Carson and W. B. Veazey, Receivers, (Mr. Veazey in active charge) appointed by the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Georgia, took possession of all the property and assets of the Gainesville Midland Railway. At present, the old of ficers and employees of the Rail-' way retain their positions under the Receivers. In discussing the situation with Mr. Veazey, lie stated that two things had to take place right away, or the road could not con tinue operation—one was the re ductionin expenses, and the other an increase in revenue. Every effort is being made to bring about both, so that it will be pos sible to keep going. 11c does not feel t> at the people served by the dainsville Midland Railway really appreciate the seriousness of the situation, and the grave possibility of its not being able to continue. The public is more or less inclined to accept the situation as a matter of course, feeling that it v 'ill be worked out some way, and are not inclined to concern themselves much about it. Mr. Veazey states that his for- cos are making a vigorous effort, to secure every pound of freight to he had, and that the people invari ably express themselves as being perfectly willing that the road have the ! u.iiness, but as a matter of fact the road is not getting it, and cannot get it without very ac ive co-operation of the, people, who must insist on their routing being respected in every case, as there is absolutely nothing that the hail way can do in case their routing instructions are not complied with. The road serves only a small territory, and in order to make it prosperous, it must nec essarily secure the traffic in that territory. Mr. Veazey feels that all the employees are willing to do their part in working out the situ ation, and states that lie is very much gratified to note the interest being manifested along the line in the road’s welfare at this time, and confidently believes that if this interest is developed into ac tive co-operation, and everybody will help, the Receivers will he able to bring the property out of its Troubles. On tlie other hand, if these things do not take place, there is no hope of continued oper ation of the road, and it must ulti mately, and possibly in a very short while, he dismantled, in whole or in part. It is the purpose of the Receivers to leave nothing undone that will tend to improve the situation, and overcome the present difficulties, giving the patrons of the road the very best possible service under trying conditions. Mr. Yeazey is exceedingly anx ious for the full support and co operation of every patron of the road, and certainly should, and wo are confident will have that sup port. GETTING “WUSSER” YET.

There’s no half way. You may think nothing of being a little run down. It may not worry you if you look pale. You may think you’ll he all right tomorrow or next day. But will you? (’ertain it is when you do not feel just right, you are not right. There is probably something the matter with your blood. And while you can get around and do you work you are leaving yourself open to any of the diseases that arc always waiting to take posses sion of run down people. When you are pale and easily tired, when you cannot enjoy your meals, when you lose enthusiasm, your blood needs attention. Take Pepto-Mangan for awhile. It is a great tonic. It will build up your resistance to disease, and you will soon feci stronger. The little red corpuscles are fighters. They battle with disease germs and win out when there are (Plough of them.

Look for the name “Glide’s” on the package.—Advertisement. NOTICE CONCERNING THE GAINESVILLE MIDLAND RAILROAD The Gainesville Midland Rail way was placed in the hands of W. (i. Veazey and Gordon <Car son, as Receivers, by Judge Rev erlv I). Evans in the United States District Court of Savannah, upon a bill of complaint filed by llenry G. Bradlee and others of Boston, Mass., creditors of said company, said suit alleging that the rail road is insolvent, and that it sus tained a deficit in operation for the year of 1920 of $88,295.86, and that the present cost of op eration far exceeded the income. The home office of the Midland Railroad has always been in Savannah, Georgia, lienee the suit was brought in that Court. The- Receivers were instructed to take charge of the railroad, and have done so, and posted the fol lowing notice: Savannah, Ga. February 15 1921. By order of the District Court of the United States for the South ern District of Georgia entered this day, the undersigned as Re ceivers have taken possession of all the property and assests of Gainesville Midland Railway. All persons in the employ or the cor poration on February 15, 1921 are, until further notice, taken into the employ of the Receivers without change of duties. Wages and salaries will be such as may be hereafter provided by the Court. (.Signed) Gordon C. Carson. W. B. Yeazey, Receivers.” It is very clear that unless the expense of the operation of the railroad, such as cost of coal, cross-ties, labor, etc. can be re duced so as to keep the expenses within the income that the Court will undoubtedly order the road out and dismantled, for no road can operate at a loss of nearly a hundred thousand dollars a THE BARROW TIMES, WINDER, GEORGIA BARROW COUNTY TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE The teachers of Barrow Cos. are hereby called to meet for In stitute work on Sat.
