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.
