sort of seed—just a bit better than the other
kinds—no more expensive.

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1903.
F. M. STAFFORD
RECEIVER.
PEOPLES BANK AGAIN PLACED IN
THE HANDBOP A RECEIVER.
HEARING ON FEB. IOTH.
Col. Claud Estes, representing
the law firms of Estes & Jones, of
Macon, Cabaniss & Willingham,
of Forsyth, and E. A. Stephens, of
Barnesville, appeared before Judge
D. M. Roberts at Eastman Mon
day, and had him pass an order
making Mr. Frank M. Stafford
temporary receiver of the Peoples
Bank of Barnesville, and setting
the hearing for the appointment
of a permanent receiver on Feb.,
19tli. Mr. Stafford has made
bond and is ready to take charge
of the bank and its affairs.
This new move grows out of the
dissatisfaction on the part of the
depositors or certificate holders in
putting the bank in the hands of
assignees, which was done some
weeks ago. As soon as the assign
ment was made, the depositors
had Judge L. S. Roan to issue a
restraing inorder, so as to keep
them from enterfering with the
status of the bank’s affairs. Judge
Roan w'as to pass on the question
of the receivership last Saturday,
but it developed that he was dis
qualified on account of kinship.
It then took the course, resulting
in the naming of Mr. Stafford as
receiver. Judge Roberts will like
ly hear the case in Macon on Feb
ruary 19th., and determine the
permanent receivership.
Is Now Keeping- House.
Rev. C. W. Durden is now'keep
ing house, having rented the home
of Mrs. Emma Guttenberger, Elm
street. He and family have been
boarding with Judge W. A. Front,
but moved into their new home
last Saturday. Their friends filled
the pantry for them and thus gave
them a good start.
Rocked Train.
Train No. 12 which is due here
at 0:05 p. m. was rocked as it was
pulling out by parties unknown
last Sunday night some distance
below the depot.
Considerable damage was done
to the car and several people were
right badly wounded by the broken
glass and stones.
The work was a very malicious
deed and it is supposed that it was
done by some small boys.
The railroad is making efforts
to locate the guilty parties and
they will be severely dealt with if
they are caught.
Received Appointments.
Two appointments on the gen
eral staff of Governor Terrell,
which were made on the first of
February, will be of interest to
the people of this city from the
fact that they can claim one of
them as a resident and the other
a former resident. They are Col.
J. Q. Nash of this place and Maj.
Henry M. Fetcher, of Jackson.
Col. Nash was reappointed as
sistant inspector general, he hav
ing held this office for Bometime
past.
Maj. Fletcher was made assis
tant adjutant general with the
ranks of Major.
Both of these gentlemen are
quite well known here and these
appointments will be gratifying
to their numerous friends.

The Primative Baptists will
hold services in Barnesville! once a
month from now on. They will
use the Opera House and Rev. Mr.
Gray will preach every fourth
Sunday. The public is cordially

BEING RAPIDLY PUSHED TO COM
PLETION-WILL BE HAND
SOME PLACE.
h #
A committee has been at work
this week making a special effort
to raise funds sufficient to finish
the interior arrangement for the
Methodist church. This committee
has been very successful in its
work and a part of the amount
neecessary has been paid in and
subscribed. About SBSOO will be
spent on the inside of the build
ing. The floor will be raised and
new seats put in, besides many
other changes, which will make it
one of the handsomest edifices of
its kind in this city.
It is expected that it will he
ready for occupancy in about six
weeks, but it will be ninety days
before the new seats will he in
stalled, however the Methodist
hope to hold services in the church
at the end of six weeks.
The inside work will be finished
before the exterior change is be
gun. When it is completed it will
be one of the handsomest church
buildings in this part of the state.
A movement headed by Mr.
Chas. Tyler has been inaugurated
to install a pipe organ. He is so
liciting donations of various arti
cles from the people and these
will be sold at a bazaar on the
fiirst of March. The public has
been very liberal in its donations
to these causes.

The above is what the K. of P.
committee thinks of Mr. Morris.
We feel that we would like to say
just a word in addition.
We have known Mr. Morris for
quite awhile, and too much can
not be said of his ability to please
the public in the arts of elocution.
His talents in this line are ex
ceptionally brilliant, and he is
particularly gifted in entertain
ing. The people of the town are
fortunate in having an opportuni
ty like this, and should go out to
hear Mr Morris Friday night.

MONEY SAVED!
The Cheap Store of Barnesville.
Headquarters for Good Goods at
Lower Prices.
Why ? Because we do nearly all of our work, reducing
expenses of clerk’s hire to almost nothing, and we buy goods
right, therefore, we can sell you goods for less money than
other merchants whose expenses are heavy. Our motto is:
GOOD GOODS, LOW PRICES AND HONEST DEALINGS.
Perhaps you don’t know how easy it is to put us to the test.
All we ask is a trial, and if the goods and prices don’t convince
you of the truthfulness of our assertion, then good goodß and
small profits avail nothing. Come and see us, get our prices
and be convinced. Don’t pass judgment before calling and
pricing our goods, and don’t be deceived by others telling you
there is nothing in what we say. We are not advertising just
to advertise, but we do it that the trading public may be fully
posted, and buy goods right and at the right place and
SAVE MONEY.
WE ARE NOW RECEIVING OUR
Spring: Stock,
which lias been selected with much care, and we think we can
‘ truthfully say that it is equal to any first-class stock. So
come and see us. When you do you shall have the very best
attention shown you by Mrs. Fannie Stallings and ourselves.
We sell the New Home Sewing Machine on liberal terms.
