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.

“The Gordon Institute Cadets,
100 strong, under command of
Lieutenant Colonel J. Q. Nash,
arrived in Atlanta tiiis morning,
at 11 :80 o’clock, to participate.in
the Memorial day parade.
The youngsters made a striking
appearance*as they marched from
the depot to the state capitol and
were loudly applauded along the
line of march. On Colonel Nash’s
staff were J. Lawrence Hunt, Jr.,
first lieutenant of the Barnesville
Blues, and Thomas Edwin Min
hinnett, of the same command.
Cadet Major Walter Marsburn
commanded the battalion, and
Captains Harmon and Wright com
manded companies'll and C.
The Barnesville boys have al
ways borne a splendid reputation
for gentlemasitly bearing and pro
ficiency in drill and never fail to
win friends wherever they go. It
has been several years since they
visited Atlanta, and the people
here will give them a splendid
time during their stay. They will
appear in the military division of
the parade this afternoon, and
their striking gray uniforms, so
much loved by the old Confeder
ates, will attract a great deal of
attention.”
A 1U Pile of Money.
The J. C. Collier Cos. had a big
show that attracted wide attention
Saturday last. They had one of
their big show windows literally
covered with money, bright and
crisp bills, all the way from SI.OO
to $20.00. It was a big show and
it looked like there might have
been in the window about SIO,OOO.
There was a big crowd around it j
all day and it was a very interest
ing sight. There is plenty of
money in the old land yet.
The Dry Goods Market.
Barnesville merchants carry the
finest and most complete stocks
| of dry goods to be found in Geor
gia, outside the largest cities. The
dry goods kept by the merchants
here are as up-to-date as the city
stocks. Of course the same quan
tity is not carried, but the quality
will compare favorably in every
instance. Barnesville .is very
proud of the patronage received in
these lines from the people!
throughout the surrounding sec
tions.

CLOTHING!
There is a marked difference
between “cheap clothing” and
“clothing cheap.” You can’t buy
a GOOD suit of clothes for less
than slo.oo—don’t be deceived.
In May, when your suit begins to
pucker and fade, you will find
that we were correct—that all
that glitters is not gold—that it
was false economy to buy a cheap
suit.

suits are gems of perfection. They
are well made, won’t fade and
are guaranteed to please. Our
clothing is cheap, but we have nq
