THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY. STOCKHOLDERS HELD MEETING. Officers Elected and Ar= rangements are Being Made to Start Mill. A meeting of the stockholders of the Barnesville Manufacturing Cos., as now constituted under the reorganization, was held in the City Hall Thursday last. The interests of the property were con sidered and discussed by various parties, and several committees appointed to undertake certain features of the work to be done. A majority of the stock was rep resented, and by a two-thirds vote of that represented the following board of directors was elected: Messrs. E. Rumble, F. M. Staf ford, G. L. Summers, J. L. Ken nedy, J. F. Taylor, Dr. J. P. Thur man and Col. W. \V. Lambdin. Following the stockholdes meet ing, the directors met and after consideration of the conditions existing, it was decided to elect only temporary officers, which re sulted as follows: Dr. T. P. Thur man, president; Mr. E. Rumble, vice-president; Mr. Merritt M. Thurman, secretary and treasurer. It is the present purpose to ar range with an expert mill man to take charge of the plant and run it, and negotiations are already in progress with this in view. It is said that arrangements for plenty of money have already been made for operating the mill, but on ac count of the present price and scai’city of cotton it is doubtful whether it will start before Sep tember or October. The directors are determined to start and con duct the mill only on a paying basis. There seems to he no doubt that the company is now to have a a prosperous career. The people will rejoice when the factory whistle blows again and the wheels begin to turn. CADETS GO TO ATLANTA THEIR MILITARY EXPOSITION THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE DAY. Col. J. Q.
