THE BOND ISSUE NECESSARY The Mayor and City Council of Barnesville have decided on the inevitable and have therefore called a special election for Tuesday, Dec. 2, next, at which time the qualified voters of the city are asked to say with their ballots whether there shall be issu ed “Public Improvement Bonds” to the amount of SIO,OOO, the pro ceeds of said bonds to be used in improving, repairing and enlarg ing the electric light and water plants of the city and painting and improving the public school buildings, the principal of which is, of course, Gordon Institute. It is absolutely necessary that these improvements should be made and there is certainly only ore way lor the city to make them and that is to issue bonds for se curing the money necessary. This is the whole situation in a nut shell. If the citizens want electric | lights for their homes, business houses and streets, the electric j plant must be enlarged and ini- j proved. If they want water for protection against tires and do- j mestic and manufacturing pur- j poses, the water plant must like wise lie repaired and enlarged. To do this absolutely necessary work will require the bond issue. The same is true as to painting and improving Gordon Institute. It is a plain, simple proposition. The details of the bond issue will he found in the proceedings of the city council. The people of Barnes ville have never yet failed to meet such questions practically and settle them in favor of progress and prosperity always. We are satisfied that they will do ,so again, and if so, the special 'elec tion will be practically unani mous “For Bonds". So mote it be. $ REPRESENTATIVE OWEN HONORED. Hon. K. M.

Thirtv-fonr bales of cotton in one lot is aii unusual sight to be observed coming into town iii this section. But such was seen Saturday when Mr I. C.

All of this cot ton was the property of Mr. I. C. Collier, who lives at Peidmont. He is one of the largest farmers of that section and he realizes that Barnesville is the place to bring the cotton and to do his business. Thus it is shown time and again that Barnesville is the leading market of this section. STARTLING, BUT TRUE. “If everyone knew what a grand medicine Dr. Kings New Life Pills is,” writes I). H.
