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.

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. OABTORXA. Bear* the y? Th Kind You Have Always Bought * t T<2L& 4 SICE COLD Soda Water Frozen Dainties <1 Qive Trading Stamps.) Blackburn’s Drug Store. J.W. Stafford & Sons The Old Reliable Firm. “ What we advertise, we sell, U 'hat we sell, advertises us.” Don’t buy trash because its cheap. Deception is like had money —it won’t pass. Wind is cheaper than water, - Bluff and bluster sounds well, but means little. Ambition is praiseworthy, but conceit is unpardonable. Honesty in business counts as much as honesty in religion. The confidence of a customer is worth more than the profit we make out of him. The bargain-hunter often pays more for goods than other people. Some merchants laugh in their sleeves when they have fooled you. Think well before you look—look well before you buy. Good stuff is cheaper than trash, even if the trash is given to you. We want your business, but can’t make up our minds to deceive yon. We are not saints, but we try to be honest and we think honesty is the best policy. Think on these things, and join the vast host of customers who get fall value for their money in our store. J. W. Stafford & Sons. L. O. BENTON PRESIDENT W B. SMITH, VIOE-PREfIIDENT. J. A.
