THE PEOPLE’S POPULAR PAPER AND THE OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CARROLL COUNTY
~ CARROLLTON. CARROLL COUNTY. GEORGIA. THURSDAY, APRIL 6 1911
The farmer of today enjoys any number of luxuries and
conveniences that were unknown but a few years ago. The
telephone, free rural delivery, better educational facilities
improved farm machinery, all have played a prominent part
in making life on the farm pleasant.
But a bank account, one on • which he can draw his
personal checks, is a convenienca almost indespensable to
the modern farmer. By means of his check book and check
he is able to keep an accurate on all business transactions.
Such a record is important to the farmer, and the First
National Bank gives special attention to the caring of farm
ers’ accounts. With ample capital and convenient banking
facilities we can sere you to your complete satisfaction.

A Happy Occasion
There is no one of her citizens
that Carroll County delights to honor
more than Judge Sampson W. Harris
both, because of his long and varied
services rendered his county during
the civil war and since, and his fid
elity to every duty entrusted to him.
Hence we are glad to chronicle
<he fact that he was the recipient of
a handsome silver loving cup, pre
sented by the members of the ba- of
Coweta Judicial Circuit. It was a
deserved and splendid compliment
tojthe man who has the confidence
and esteem of his fellow citizens as
few men have. .
Leading members of the bar from
LaGrange, Grantville and Newnan
were present and together with
members of local bar gathered at
the residence of Judge Harris on
Wednesday evening of last week to
celebrate his 73d birthday. We
hope to have the presence and wise
counsels of Judge Harris with us
for many years yet to come.
Organization Soon to be Effected
The meeting at the M. E: church
South, on last.Sunday afternoon*was
a most interesting one. The address
of Messers Snead, Roop, and Adams,
were of a high order, as was the
paper of Dr. Camp which was read
by Mr. Bickford. After the address
and the reading of the paper it was
moved to organize an order, or an
association, for the promotion of the
general welfare of our city. 7 It was
further directed that the Chairman
appoint a committee to draft Con
stitution and By-Laws and to nom
inate the officers of the organization
and to prepare and publish the pro
gram of the next meeting. This
committee has already been appoint
ed. It is intended to hold another
meeting at an early date. Look out
for the announcement.

Yes the "Chattachoochee Bridge"
question has bobbed up in this com
munity again. It is rumored here
that Carroll and Coweta Counties
have at last decided to build an
irom bridge across the Chattahoo
chee river between here and New
nan. The reason the bridge was
not built last summer it seems, be
cause Coweta County wanted to
build it at Pope Jones’ ferry while
Carroll County wanted to build it
lower down the river near the R. R.
Bridge. We hear that the bridge
can be built at the lower place for
two thousand dollars less than
can be built up at Pope Jones’ ferry,
But Pope Jones has lots of money
and influence and so can pull things
his way in Coweta County. The
lower ferry, though near the R. R.
bridge is the best place by far for
the proposed bridge not because
will save the taxpayers some two
thousand dollars on the bridge itself
but it will save Carroll County
probably ten thousand dollars in
years to come because the road to
the lower place will be so much bet
ter and eisier worked than the road
lived for a number of years.
Dr. Lingle has been head with
pleasure andprofit elsewhere, and we
are fortunate in having him come to
Carrollton. Everybody is Jcordially
invited to both services.

T. A. J. Majors In Pistol Duel.
A short time ago some men were
arrested, charged, it is said, with
playing a game of poker in the
rooms of J. Q. Smith, a lawyer,
during his absence. Editor Majors,
in commenting on the affair in his
paper, made some remark about
Smith, said to have reflected on
his character. This was taken up by
L. H. Foster, a friend of Smiths, who
in turn wrote a very abusive card
of Majors, which was published in
the last issue of the Messenger.
On the day after the publication
of the paper, Foster, it is said’ in
company with a young man named
Hudson, was walking down the
street near Majors’ office, when Ma
jors suddenly stepped to the door
for himself, as he was going to fire.
He then, so it is stated, fired two
shots at Foster, who immediately
pulled his pistol and fired three at
Majors. Majors fired three in ex
change, when finding his supply
exhausted he retreated into his of
fice and bolted the door. Neither
man was hurt.
Mr.,Majors formerly lived here
but for the past several years he
has lived at Douglasville, going to
Cairo, Ga., about a year ago, where
the fight occured.
