CAPT. HOUGH TO
RUN FACTORY.
The directors of the Barnesville
Manufacturing Cos. held a meet
ing last week and made a contract
with Capt. J. D. Hough, of Macon,
to take charge of the factory and
run it. He will have entire man
agement of the mill and it is be
lieved that he will make a great
success of the enterprise. Capt.
Hough is an experienced mill man
and of course thoroughly under
stands the business in all its de
tails. He will give the mill his
entire time and will doubtless
move his family to Barnesville'.
It will probably be about July
Ist before the factory starts. Some
new machinery must be put in
and other repairs made. In fact,
there will be much work to do
before it can be started.
It is believed that the mill will
make money, good money, now.
It is a fine plant and is well equip
ped in every way.

BARNESVILLE’S
NATIONAL BANK
THE FIRST OF ITS KIND ESTAB
LISHED HERE -IS DOING A
SPLENDID BUSINESS.
The people of Barnesville and com
munity are glad of the fact that for the
first, time we have a national bank lo
cated and doing business here.
The charter for The First National
Bank of Barnesville has already been
granted and the bank is now operating
under the national banking laws.
The amount of capital stock required
for the establishment of a national
bank is governed by the population of
the city. #25,000 is required for a city
with the population of Barnesville, but
the stockholders of the above bank
have put up #SOOO more than the re
quired amount and have a paid up cap
ital of #30,000.
One of the advantages of a national
bank is that a fixed per cent 'bf the de
posits must always be on hand and
available. The law requires that the
bank deposit a large amount of bonds
with the U. S. treasurer. The curren
cy issued by the bank is secured with
government bonds, and in case of any
irregularities in the management of
the bank or any suspicion of insolvency
the government takes immediate
charge and after thorough investiga
tion winds up the business or allows it?
to continue, withoutcost, to the pdbple
whose money is involved.
Then again it is the policy of national
banks to make a large number of
small loans to business men, farmers
and others, rather than a few large
loans to corporations. The law also
requires ail officers and employees
who handle the funds of the bank to
give heavy bonds. National bank ex
aminers are said to be far more rigid
in their investigations and require
strict compliance with all the laws
under which the banks are chartered.
The First National Bank of Barnes
vilb* is well officered and it is certain
to be a strong and successful banking
institution.
The Meetings Continue.
The meetings at the Baptist
chutch will continue until Friday
night. Rev. Joe Jones is doing
all the preaching and has had
large crowds to hear him since
the'services began. His preach
ing has accomplished much good.
Many resolutions have been made
for a better life by men, women,
boys and girls. All of his sermons
and talks have been very practi
cal. He lias made people think
of their daily conduct toward one
another. He apparently has an
unlimited supply of illustrations
which he uses with good effect.
Sunday afternoon there was a
special service for men which was
attended by several hundred and
Mr. Jones made a powerful appeal
to them. At times the audience
was moved to tears and the dis
course made a profound impres
sion on many who were present.
The meetings will doubtless close
Friday evening.
Dr. ltipley Honored.
Dr. E. C. Kipley was last week
appointed by Gov. Candler a del
egate from Georgia to the Ameri
can Congress of Tuberculosis,
which meets in New York, June
23rd and 24th. Dr. Ripley was
one of 23 delegates appointed to
go from this state.
It is quite a distinct honor to
be a delegate to this body. The
leading physicians and doctors
from all parts of America and the
other countries will be among
those who attend the congress and
it is a thing of international im
portance.
Dr. Ripley has not yet deter
mined whether he will attend.
LITTLE JEWELS,
kg’ery mother that has a child has a
jewel more precious to her and worth
more than tne King of England’s en
tire collection of diamonds, etc. Pity
the little one that is rapidly losing its
health because its mother does not
know it has worms, and that a cent
bottle of Mother’s Worm Syrup will
expell them quickly.
