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. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CARROLLTON.

Fcathe Beds 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. Whitesburg Church Revival to Begin the Methodist. at 11 Special Revival Services will begin at the First Methodist Church the first Sunday in May. Rev. J. M. Bass of the South Georgia Conference will assist the pastor. Mr. Bass is the Conference Evangelist of his Conference and one of the most suc cessful evangelists in the church. All denominations and the public generally are cordially invited to at tend these meetings. Mr. A. W. Stapleton of Macon Ga. will lead the singing. Mr. Stapleton is an able lealder of gospel songs and a fit sup plement to his strong preacher asso ciate. Caurch Notice Bro. Thos. W. Lingle Ph. D. of Davidson N. C. will speak at the Presbyterian church next Sunday at 11 oclock a. m. on “Education" &. at 8 oclock p. m. he will lecture on “Mission Work in Brazil,” where he j to J 101168 ferr y 18 - 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. W. E. Dozier 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.
