THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY. BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1902. ADJOURNED TERM NOW IN SESSION. *W. s. WITH AM OX TIUAIi-J. .1. HOG- EllS ANI) G. E. HI GV I.KY HAVETHRIK CASKS 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.

A WEI.Tj known young man 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.
