Rnterwi nt the Post Office lit Hwmesville, G., an second <-Ihh* mail matter. JULY 10. 1902. CONGRESSMAN BARTLETT. For the fifth time Hon. Chas. L. Bartlett, has laien nominated by the democratic gmrty of the Sixth district as itsrop reaeiltative in the national bouse of represen tatives, the nomination for the fifth term being field in Macon Tuesday. This nomination is, of course, equivalent to an election. Since his first nomination, Con- gressman Bartlett has practically liad no opposition, either inside or outside tlx- party, and every year he has been gaining in popu lar favor, at homo and in congress. The people of the district believe in him with all their hearts. They know that they can depend upon him at all times, and that fie never tires in his efforts to help them- They look upon him as their personal friend and it, is, therefore, no wonder that there is probably not another congressmjHi in the house who is so popular with the individual constituents of his district. The sixth district is proud of the record made by congressman Bartlett, and the people are proud to nominate and elect him for the fifth time and as many times hereafter as he may desire them to do so. II Ik lliubo w mkoii Klrt*. Aii unusual sight, was that of u gentleman driving through the square with his buggy on fire Tuesday at noon. He was driv ing along and discovered smoke a rising from under the seat. On looking down he discovered some oats that he ha<l jlaced in the hot tom of the buggy were on fire and lie stopped and quuiekly extin guished th<> lire. Whether they caught from the intense heat of the rays of the sun or whether caused by dropping a match in them it is not known. Puhlin Chautauqua lee'K. The Dublin clmutauqua, which was held the week before the Harnesville chautauqua, lost sl* 000 on its session, but the plucky little city says another one will be held next year. The Barnesville chautauqua is more successful. It has made a little money every year except one when a combination of ditli culties arose, which caused a financial loss. It, has been more successful than any otler chau tauqua in the state. Work rroprroiwiiiK. The work on the First National Bank is being pushed and it will not be long before the headquar ters will lie finished. Contractor Bennett has a force of workmen tearing down the old vault and building the new one just to the rear. The work will ho completed in a short time. The plans as have been noticed hy many assure a very handsome appearance. Wmlmmi'k Book*. Tom Watson's great !>ooks, the history of France and the life of Napoleon are for sale by Maj. J. R. Banks, who is now an esteemed visitor to friends in Bartlesville. Mr. Watson has made more repu tation out of these two works than by anything he has ever done. They are being read everywhere and are very popular. If you want either or both call on Maj. Banks for them. A year's subscription to a news paper has saved many a man the price of a gold brick.

Bartlett, the present representative from this district, and the votes cast by him upon the various measures that have come from congress; we believe that he has devoted him self and his energies and abilities to the interests of the people whom he has represented, and that by the ability, energy and unfaltering devotion which he has manifested for the interest of his constituents and the people, he lias demonstrated that lie is an able and fearless champion of democratic principles, and that the interests of the people of this district are at all times safe in iiis hands. These are times of political agitation and serious trials of the principles of our gov ernment; they are times when the people need the bravest and the best to represent them, and the democracy of the Sixth Con gressional district therefore feel eonfident that to his keeping the Democratic party and the people can safely entrust their highest interest. While we point with pride to his ent ire career in con gress, and endorse his course and votes, we feel especial gratification in the fact that in him we have found a champion and a defender of the people of the South, and that hernia so effectually and ably resented and repelled all attacks upon our people.” Mr. Bartlett was placed in nomination by Prof. \\ .
