THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY. 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: Mr. L. A. Collier and family, Mrs. T. L. Adams and children, Mrs. B. F. Porch and family, Miss Violet Menkee, of Cartersville, Miss Wilber Walker, of Atlanta, 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. A Delightful Evening.
