THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1902.
ADJOURNED TERM
NOW IN SESSION.

DISMISSED.
The adjourned term of Pike Su
perior court convened in Zebulon
Monday, with Judge E. J. Reagan
presiding. There was a large
crowd present, most of whom were
th’ere as jurors and witnesses The
fact that it was expected that the
cases would he taken up against
the old officials of the Barnesville
Savings Bank and the New South
Savings Bank made the session
one of great concern to the people
of the county.
The case against Mr. W. S.
Witham, former president of the
Barnesville Savings Bank, was
called Monday afternoon at 2
o’clock. Judpe Howard Van
Epps, of Atlanta, and Col. R. L.
Berner, of Forsyth, his attorneys,
presented several demurrers,
which were argued at length.
The one involving a technical
point as to a date in the indict
ment was referred by the judge to
a jury. The balance of Monday
and Tuesday were consumed in
securing a jury. If the jury sus
tains the demurrer, the case goes
out of court. If the demurrer
is not sustained, anew jury will
then be selected for the trial of
the case properly. It looks as if
this one case will occupy all the
week, should the jury overrule the
demurrer.
The case against Mr. 11. P.
Powell goes over to the spring
term on account of the illness of
Judge M. W. Beck, his leading
attorney.
The cases against Col. J. J. Rog
ers and Mr.G. E Huguley, f New
South Savings Bank have been
settled. The basis of settlement
is that they pay to the hank the
amounts each were due it at the
time of its failure, the total
amounting to S6OOO. All cases
and charges against them are dis
missed, and they are exonerated
of any criminal conduct in the
management of the hank. They
are satisfied with the settlement
and have complied with the terms
of the agreement. Their friends
have warmly congratulated them
over the disposition made of the
matter. They were represented
dy Judge Jno. I. Hall and Cluud
Estes, of Macon, W. W. Lambdin,
of Barnesville and E. F. Dupree,
of Zebulon.
“The Cutter.”
Barnesville Cotton Mills will
soon start. That is good news.
But we have some other good news,
not only for the people of Bartles
ville, but the surrounding country.
This is the opening next Saturday
of the “Cutter,” a big department
store.
The company opening this store
has establishments in various
parts of the south, and the very
low price they ask for goods is
astonishing, and they claim not
,to sell a single article on which
The price is not cut lower than any
other merchant can sell the same
goods for. Everything for every
body, cheaper than anybody is
their motto. Everybody is invited
to the grand opening next .Satur
day morning, at8:80. “The Cu
tter” will be located in the E. L.
Rogers’ building, on East Main
street.

MYSTERIOUSLY HISAUI’EAKS
FROM HIS HOME.
There has been considerable
interest and excitement in this
community for several days past
over the sudden and mysterious
disappearance of Mr. J. V. Elling
ton, mail carrier on one of the
recently established R. F. D. routs,
and a brother of Mr. W. H. El
lington. He is a young wan who
bears a good name and life relatives
and friends do not know how to
account for his disappearance.
They at first thought that he had
been robbed and murdered in this
county, but since it has been
learned that he went to Atlanta
Saturday instead of stopping at
Griffin, this theory has been practi
cally abandoned. Mr. Ellington’s
family nowibelieve' that his mind
has become temporarily unbal
anced and he is wandering over the
country.
He left Barnesville Saturday on
the north bound passenger at 8 o’-
clock with the purpose of stopp
ing at Griffin. The conductor of
the train says that when Mr. Ell
ington got to Griffin he decided to
go on to Atlanta. That is. the
last known of him, and all efforts
to learn anything further from
him have been in vain. Tho fami
)y and friends are doing every
thing possible to locate him, and
they believe that he will yet lie
restored to them. The people of
Barnesville sympathize deeply
with all of the family and hope
that the mysterious disappearance
will soon he satisfactorily cleared
up. Any news will be anxiously
awaited by the people of this en
tire section.
Mr. Louis Brown Dead.
Mr. Louis Brown, formerly
a citizen of Barnesville and well
known here and throughout this
section, is dead, his death occuring
at El Paso, Tex., on Sunday, Nov.
2nd. For many months past he
has been in declining health,
suffering with consumption. He
went to Mexico sometime ago with
the hope of prolonging his life, but
about fifteen days ago he returned
to El Paso, he suffered from other
{ complications and soon the end
came. At hi request his body
was buried in that city. Mr.
Clarence Louis Brown, was the son
of the late C. W. Brown, and was
: born in Barnesville.
In his youth and early manhood,
which were spent here, he was
| considered almost a model young
man and he had scores of friends
and admirers. After the death of
his father, he was put in charge of
the estate, but fortune seemed to
turn aganst him and mistake fol
lowed mistake, until the estate
was gone. He seemed not to pos
sess the power to manage well and
his misforunes made him despon
dent, and doubtless shortened his
life.
There are many here to mourn
his sad life and death, and
in this hour of sorrow, they re
member with great sympathy the
members of his family, who have
become scattered throughout the
south.
At the Opera House.
A small crowd greeted the Bren
nan-Sale company on its appear
ance at the opera house Tuesday
night. The entertainment was
good and deserved a better house.
The music and acting were above
the average and brought forth
well-merited applause from the
audience. They should have a
better crowd if they come again
soon.
