Bankston Buys Collier's Hardware.
Last Friday Mr J. C. Collier
sold out the entire stock of hard
ware, recently purchased from the
W. 11. Chambers Cos. to Mr J. B.
Bankston, who at once took
charge of the business. It is a
splendid stock of goods and no
doubt Mr. Bankston will have a
good trade on it. About, the first
of August, this stock will be moved
to the new Collier store on east
Main street, which is now occu
pied with the stock of shoes,
clothing and gent’s furnishings of
the Collier Cos.
Several years ago Mr. Bankston
ran a grocery store in Barnesville
but for some years past he has held
some city position, being city elec
trician fora long time. Itis friends
wish him success in his new busi
ness.
BARNESVILLE WINS.
Locals Kasily Defeat Forsyth llano ball
Team by Score of 19 to 10.
The Barnesville baseball team
defeated the Forsyth team Friday
afternoon by a score of 19 to 10.
The game was a very good one
but the locals outclassed the For
syth players at every point. The
Barnesville tegm is badly crippled
as the catcher is out of the city
and two of the fielders have broken
fingers. The team played well
together at times and only went
to pieces once, that being in the
fifth inning when Forsyth scored
four runs. Curry and Lane was
the battery for the locals, Allen
and Jackson for Forsyth.
Huml Car Jumps Track.
The hand car used on the Thom
aston branch of the Central rail
road jumped the track Saturday
afternoon about two, miles from
the city and came very near crush
ing several of the laborers.
The car was in charge of Fore
man John Gloves, and the car
stopping very suddenly, threw Mr.
Gloves and three negroes to the
ground and painful wounds were
inflicted upon them, Mr. Gloves
being severely hurt about the
head. Supervisor Castelle was on
the car at the time but strange to
say was only slightly bruised
The Thomaston branch has very
poor rails and it is dangerous to
ride on them. The road should
put better ones in place at once.
At the Spring*).
A party composed of several
families left the city early Tues
day morning for Pine Mountain
Springs where they will spend
several days at this delightful
resort.
Those composing the party are:

Mrs. J. T. Matthews and family,
Messrs. Robert and Charles
Matthews.
They will return to the city
Monday.
Come* Here to liocate.
Mr. E. 0. Heard, of Baltimore,
Md., arrived in the city several
day ago, and now has charge of
the photograph gallery of Mr.
Geo. W. Grice.
In order to more successfully do
evangelistic work, Mr. Grice se
cured the services of Mr. Heard,
and states to us that he is regard
ed as one of the very finest pho
tographers to he found anywhere.
The people of Barnesville and
section still have an opportunity
of getting their pictures made hy
an artist thoroughly conversant
with all the prevailing styles, and
we bespeak for Mr. Heard a libe
ral patronage.

Barnesville Buggies Go to Boston
The Summers Buggy Cos. are
this week shipping about a half
dozen of their famous Barnesville
| vehicles to Boston, Mass. This is
a strong testimonial for them, for
;it is doubtless a very unusual
| thing for Northern people to buy
j Southern made buggies; particu
larly the people of tony Boston.
The vehicles shipped are Pnuema
j tic Bikes and Phaetons, and when
the purchasers receive them we
are satisfied they will be proud of
their Barnesville vehicles. The
shipments go- by Savannah and
the Ocean Steamship Cos. May it
be the beginning of a big business
from Boston for this enterprising
buggy company.

He will also put an asphalt pave

which will greatly enhance the
appearance and value of this prop
erty.
The stock of clothing, gent’s

munity for the benefit of Marvin

No doubt it will be a very
pleasant occasion. The people
there know exactly how to make
an event like this a success and
everybody who goes to this bar
becue will most assuredly have a
good time.
A J’ainliil Accident.
While playing in'the yard Sun
day afternoon with several other
boys and girls, Willis Smith, son
of Col. and Mrs. J. M. Smith, on
Forsyth street, happened to the
misfortune to get his left arm
broken, by falling upon some
rocks. Only one bone was broken,
but the other was bent to such an
extent that it could not be entire
ly straightened. While the
wounded arm is very painful at
present, it is quite probable that
he will be out in a short while.
