THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY. BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1902. 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. The engagement of Miss Arley Murphey to Mr. M’ard B. Albert son has been announced, the wed ding to occur 011 December 23rd, next, the ceremony to be perform ed at the Methodist church at half past five in the afternoon. Miss Murphey is the daughter of Major and Mrs. T. J. Murphey, and is one ofv Barnesvfile's most attractive young women, and has a large circle of friends and ac quaintences all over the state. She has a charming personality and possesses many admirable traits of character, which make her much liked wherever she is known. Mr. Albertson is a well known young business man of sterling qualities. He has just resigned his position as state bank exami ner to except a partnership in a large lumber concern of Jackson ville, Fla., where the young couple wifi make their home after the wedding.

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.
