stitute, does not use inferior or adulterated drugs, and
that he always does accurate work. What is there left
for us to say different from any body else ? Well, we
invite you to bring your prescriptions to us and see the
kind of treatment you get and the way everything is

BANK CASES WILL
BE SETTLED UP.
AFFAIRS OF THK PEOPLES BANK
WILL BE WOUNDUP AT
ONCE.
Tuesday the signers of the bond
to secure the payment of the cer
tificates of deposits given when the
Peoples Bank of Barnesville was
organized out of the old Bartles
ville Savings Bank, paid to the re
ceivers appointed some weeks ago,
the sum of $14,850, under an agree
ment reached between all parties
concerned. They were given a re
ceipt in full settlement of all
liability and all cases are to lie
dismissed. The following are the
parties who made the bond with
the amount they pay in this set
tlement: J. L. Kennedy $8,600,
J. F. Taylor $2,250, J. L. Fogg
$2,000, H. G. Jordan SI,OOO, Mrs.
E. M. Powell $3,000, Mrs. R. O.
Cotter SB,OOO,
An agreement has also been
reached between W. S. Witham
and the other parties at interest
whereby he is to pay to the court
the sum of $8,600, when all civil
and criminal cases against him
will be dismissed. It is under
stood that this will be done at the
April term of Pike superior court,
which convenes at Zebulon next
Monday. It is said the court will
approve these agreements, which
will go along way towards winding
up the very complicated bank af
fairs. It is probable that the de
positors will be paid in full. The
other assets of the bank will be
disposed of as soon as possible.
TWO ARE KILLED
BY FAST TRAIN.
CHICAGO ANI FI .OKI I)A TRAIN
DEALS DEATH TO TWO LAST
SUNDAY.
Dr. A. B. North was run down
and instantly killed at 11:45 Sun
day morning by the Central of
Georgia Chicago limited vestibule
at Hampton crossing eight miles
north of Griffin. The train was
running at sixty-five miles an hour
when the accident occurred. En
gineer J. F. Emer-on had charge
of the big locomotive No. 1,604.
It seems that Dr. North and a
friend were walking toward the
track when they heard the vestibule
approaching. Dr. North mount
ed the track, and in a moment
he was struck by the engine. II is
| body was thrown a distance of
fifty feet, and when the man fell,
life was extinct. North’s skuil
was fractured and several bones
in his body broken.
The flyer was stopped as soon
l as possible and backed to the
| place where the physician’s body
lay. The dead man was taken
in hand by friends and sent to his
home.
Dr. North was about 47 years
old and is survived by a wife
and two children. He practiced
medicine and had a number of
friends.
“Aunt” Mary Ducenberry, an
aged negress, was knocked from
the track and killed last Saturday
night at Orchard Hill by train No.
93, the north-bound Chicago and
Florida vestibule on the Central
of Georgia road. Engineer J. F.
Emerson was at the throttle. The
train was making forty miles an
hour.
“Easter Sunday is coming,
dearest.” She remarked. “Well,
what of that?” He inquired, but
soon said he, in submission,
“Oh I see you were talking
through your hat.”
SOUTHERN BELL
RUNS SYSTEM.
ASSUMED CHARGE OF THE TELE
PHONE SYSTEM MON DAY
WILL INSTALL ITS SYSTEM
AT ONCE.
Mr. W. H. M. Weaver, mana
ger of the Bell Telephone Com
pany's system at Macon, was here
last week looking after the com
pany’s interest and was seen by
a representatives of this paper
concerning the intentions of the
Bell people regarding its poperty
here, of which they took charge
Monday.
The Bell people will begin at
once to install their system, which
v ill be as complete as any owned
by that company and as up-to-date
as their systems in Griffin, Macon
and other places. Work will be
begun immediately putting anew
equipment of poles, wires, phones
and station.
It will probably be two months
before the work is completed and
in the meanwhile they expect to
give the patrons the best service
possible with the present sys
tem.
Mr. Weaver will be manager of
both this and the Macon stations,
and he says that with the co-op
eration of the people he will give
them a service not to be
ed by any town.
The upstairs in the Clark build
ing over Pugg’s restaurant has
been leased and the new central
station will be put in there.
Capt. Murphey’s Retirement.
We were in error in regard to
several of the particulars in re
gard to Capt. Murphey’s record
which we published last week and
we cheerfully reproduce the article
corrected as it should be:
“Capt. E. J. Murphey, of
Barnesville, was last Wednesday
retired from active service in the
Georgia state troops and his name
ordered to the list of retired of
ficers with the rank of lieutenant
colonel. The following constitutes
his military career:
First sergeant company E
Third Georgia battalion, C. S.
army, JBOI ; first lieutenant and
regimental adjutant, 87th Geor
gia regiment, C. 8. A., June 8.
1808; surrendered at Appomattox,
April 9, 1805; captain Barnesville
Blues, September 1, 1874 to 1879;
re-commissioned captain Barnes
ville Blues, November 18,1898, to
August 18, 1894; lieutenant colo-
; nel and aide-de-camp to Governor
I Gordon, January, 1887 to 1891.
Capt. Murphey is one of the
best known citizens of this city
and he is not a stranger to most
parts of the state. His career in
"'military affairs has been a long
and successful one as will be seen
on the list of offices he has held.
His record is one of which he
has reason to be proud.”
A Fine Lectnre.
Prof. Geo. W. Macon, of Mer
ger University at Macon, deliver
! ed a very interesting and instruct
ive lecture at the Baptist church
last Friday evening in the presence
of a large congregation that had
assembled to hear him. He is
undoubtedly a man of deep thought
and great powers and his talk
teemed with bright ideas and
strong arguments.
His efforts were enjoyed as
much as any of the series of lec
tures which the people of this city
have been so fortunate in hearing
recently.
We want the ladies to call and see
our new lines of breast pins, brooches,
wrist bags and novelties.

“Afraid of Banks,”
A phrase we heard someone recently use. Well, are
you afraid to ride on the cars, just because there
have been wrecks on the rail-road ?
Are you afraid to buy something to eat, just
because someone has occasionally been cheated in
groceries ? ?
Are you afraid to bathe, just because a man was
once drowned in a bath tub ? ? ?
Are you afraid to breathe, just because there are
a few poisonous microbes in the air ? ? ? ?
We trust you will see the point, if not, call to Bee
us and we will point it out.
