J. V. ELLINGTON
NOT YET FOUND.
NO CU'K AS TO WHEREABOUTS OF
THE MISSING MAN HAS BEEN
DISCOVERED.
A dispatch from this place ap
peared in the Atlanta Journal one
day last week stating that Mr. W.
H. Ellington had received a tele
gram from his brother, Mr. J. V.
Ellington in Texas, stating that
he was alive and well. This was
an error, as Mr. Ellington says
that he has not received a tele
gram or heard anything whatever
from his brother, and his wherea
bouts remain as great a mystery
as ever.
He has, however, learned an
other fact which will probably
throw some light on the subject.
The conductor on the train on
which Mr. J. V. Ellington left,
stated that a man wearing glasses
with a ticket from Barnesville to
Griffin and return, sat on the
seat with the person supposed to
be J. V. Ellington and was engag
ed in conversation with him. It
is thought that if this man can be
found he could probably throw
some light on the matter, and if
he will give any information that
will lead to the finding of his
brother, he will confer a great
favor on his relations by writing
to Mr. W. H. Ellington, Barnes
ville, Ga.
Murphey-Albertson.

They were seen by the mayor and
agreed to close up on that occas

day. The people in the country
will do well to take note of this
and bear in mind that they can
do no trading on Thanksgiving
day in Barnesville, but we will be
glad to see them any other time.

Who, What, When Minstrels.
Managers Baird and Hunt have
secured for one night only Amer
ica’s greatest minstrel company,
the “Who, What, When Min
strels.” The Atlanta Constitu
tion, dated Tuesday, Oct. 29th,
1902, says of this show:
“The Who, What, When Min
strels, a show new to Atlanta
theater-goers, made its appearance
at the Grand last night before a
large audience Many went ex
pecting to see a show of very ordi
nary merit, but all voted it the
best minstrel seen in Atlanta in
years. The vocalists and chorus
of the first part were of more than
ordinary merit, and the Baritone
solos of Frank Fox, the tenor solo
by Wm. Sherwood, and the basso
of Will Frank were received with
every demonstration of delight,
and they were obliged to respond
to repeated encores. The olio is
the strongest ever seen in Atlanta
and every one of the big company
deserve special praise for their
work. Taking it as a whole it was
the best minstrel performance
given in Atlanta in years, and
the Who, What, When Minstrels
will always be greeted by a crowded
house when they again visit our
city.”
One night only, Friday, Nov,
2lst Prices 25, 50 A; 75 cents.
