THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
BLUES WIN
IN GRIFFIN.
THEY CAPTI HE TWO PHIZES AM)
WIN THE G IjOKY OF THE DAY
IN THE COMPETETIYE DIUI.Ij
That the Barnesville hoys are
the best drilled of any military
company in this section was
settled beyond a doubt last Friday
at the competitive drill in Griffin.
The Barnesville Blues won the
prizes for the best drilled company
present and second sergeant Jack
son E. Bush won the prize for the
best drilled man.
The Griffin Rides won the prize
for the second best drilled com
pany present and Forsyth took the
prize for the largest number of
men in company.
In the company drill the Blues
easily put-classed the Griffin and
Forsyth men, and in the individ
ual drill the last four to remain up
were Barnesville boys, Ist sergeant
Pierce Hammond, 2nd sergeant
Jackson E. Bush, Brd sergeant
B. M. Turner and corporal
Clarence Willis. Of these Pierce
Hamond was thrown out first.
Turner and Willis were next
thrown out, leaving Jackson Bush
the only man remaining up. The
prize of $lO was awarded him as
the best drilled man present.
In addition to the prize of S4O
to the best drilled company and
$lO to the best drilled man, Mr.
C. O. Summers offered the Blues
$lO if they would get the company
prize and $5 if one of the Blues
took the individual prize, which
they did.
The boys were royally entertain
ed while in Griffin. Wherever
they appeared after the drill they
were given cheer after cheer and
applause greeted them on every
hand.
The town was turned over to
them that night and they were
free to enjoy themselves as they
saw fit.
The Blues were tendered a ban
quet at the Griffin Rifles armory
Friday night. A large number of
people went from here to witness
the drill.
The judges of the contest com
plimented the Blues very highly.
They made a percentage of 800 out
of a possible 1,000 while the Grif
fin Rifles made only 400. This is
an exceedingly fine record for a
company of state troops. Col. J.
Q. Nash was one of the judges in
this contest.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the
great writer, lecturer and states
man will deliver his lecture, “The
South”, at Kennedy’s opera house
in Barnesville, on Friday evening,
June 113th. The mere announce
ment insures one of the largest
audiences ever assembled here,
for Mr. Watson is recognized as
one of the foremost men of his
day. For years he has had a
wide reputation as an orator and
a statesman hut recently he has
established for himself a name as
one of the foremost writers and
historians of the world. His
history of France and his life of
Napoleon have not only made him
famous the world over, hut they
are making him money at a very
rapid rate.
Some time since Mr. Watson
was induced to go on the lecture
platform and Barnesville is ex
ceedingly fortunate in getting him
to lecture here among his first ap
pointments. The lectuer will no
doubt be a great treat and doubt
less will be heard by hundreds
from this city and surrounding
country.
BARNESVLLLE, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 29, 1902.
THE CITIZENS BANK
IT IS DOINC a FINE BUSINESS and
IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST
BANKS IN MIDDLE CEORCIA.
The Citizens Bank of Barnes
ville has commenced to supply
the wants of the City of Barnes
ville, with a good, strong insti
tution, managed by conservative
lines, and with such liberality to
its customers as is consistent with
good banking. Chartered under
the Laws of the State of Georgia,
subject to the regulations impos
ed by those laws, and under the
critical and rigid inspection of
the State Bank Examiner of the
State of Georgia, no safe guards
are lacking to make it the proper
and safe custodian of all money
and other valueables entrusted to
its keeping. Operating under the
laws of the state, which will be
rigidly obeyed, it can, in the dis
cretion of its officers and Board
of Directors, make such loans
(with proper security) as will best
conduce to build up the interests
of the city in which it exists, and
the agricultural community tribu
tary thereto.
Next to the careful handling of
the funds entrusted to it, the
policy of this Bank will be to
make such loans, as will tend to
build up the business of Bartles
ville, and accomodate the farmers
whose trade is a part of this city.
With a strong board composed of
some of the leading business men
of Bartlesville’ and some of the
staunchest, thriftiest and best in
formed of our Agricultural com
munity, the Cashier, with such
advisers, will be able tomakeonly
such loans, as are good and desire
able, and will have ample funds
to take all such loans.
The State requires of this bank
to keep a good per cent of its de
posits on hand, and prohibits the
loaning of more than 10% of its
capital to any one person, firm
or corporation. These laws will
be carried out to the letter by
this bank, and when strictly
obeyed, nothing can happen to
the security of the Bank. With
a community of good merchants,
such as Barnesville has,and with
thrifty, prosperous farmers, such
as those who trade at Barnesville,
as customers, a Bank is absolutely
safe, and its shares will in no
distant day command a good
premium.
