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.
