BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 9. 1903.
Bonds Sold.
The issue of bonds, voted some
months ago unanimously by the
citizens of Barnesville, in the
amount of $lO,OOO, has been sold,
the sale being confirmed at a
meeting of the city council Tues
day night.
The bonds were sold on a ba'iis
of per cent, which is consid
ered remarkably good. It showed
that Barnesville’s credit is all
right in the financial world. The
condition of the money market
and the fact that there were so
many million dollar trust
enterprises trying to float bonds
made it hard to dispose of an is
sue as small as $lO,OOO. Under
the circumstances the sale is con
sidered a very satisfactory one.
Now let the improvements for
which these bonds were voted, be
made at once. It is highly im
portant and the people want to
see the work proceed rapidly.
These improvements mean much
to the progress and prosperity of
Barnesville.
Harrison Buys Smith’s
Store and Lot.
Mr, J. B. Harrison, the well
known cotton man, has bought
the store and lot on Market street
from Mr. Dan B. Smith, the trade
having been consummated this
week. The store occupies about
half of the lot. the balance of
the lot being vacant back to the
new side track. Mr. Smith will
rent the store from Mr. Harrison
and continue to do business as in
the past. Mr. Harrison, of course,
will continue in the cotton busi
ness, in which he has been very
successful.
Making Some Impor
tant Improvements.
The Citizens Bank, of Barnes
ville, is making some important
changes in its office. A nice
private office for the cashier will
be put in the front of the build
ing to the right of the entrance.
This will be partitioned off with
a handsome railing, with a door
leading into the main office, a
gate opening into this office. An
additional window will be placed
justjbeyond the present one, both
of which will be used in transact
ing the business of the bank.
In the rear of the office and
along side the vault several desks
will be put in for use of cotton
buyers during the coming season.
Here the buyers may have a
splendid office free, with every
convenience for the transaction of
business.
All the improvements will be
the same handsome material as
the present fixtures.
The Citizens Bank, under the
management of its capable and
affable cashier, Mr. C. H. Hum
phrey, is having an exceptionally
prosperous career and it is an in
stitution worthy of the confi
dence and patronage of the pub
lic.
W. K. Wilkinson to Return.
Mr. W. K. Wilkinson, who re
cently sold out his business here
and moved to Abbeville, has de
cided to return to Barnesville and
open up business here again. He
has rented the store room from
Mr Edgar L. Rogers on
Main -t root, in which Lincoln But
ler ha- been running a barber shop
and 1 t ake possession on August
Ist •• store will he greatly im
prov glass front being one of
tho -ortant changes. Mr. Wil
kin- 1 1 carry a stock of general
me 1 ’ .ml se.
Fifield Sold Out.
Mr. L. S. Fifield, who has
owned one fourth interest in the
Barnesville Planing Mill Cos., has
sold out to the estate of the late
Capt. B. M. Turner, and retired
from the management of the bus
iness. Mr. Fifield bought his in
terest a little more than a year
ago and it is understood that he
sold out with a good margin on
his investment. The business
will continue as in the past, with
Judge W. A. Front as its head
and Mr. B. M. Turner general
manager, both of whom are thor
oughly equipped for keeping the
business forging to the front. It
is a very prosperous and growing
business institution and is worth
a great deal to the city and com
munity.
Mr Fifield has not decided upon
plans for the future but it is likely
that he will continue to live and
do business in Barnesville, which
will be gratifying to his numer
ous friends here.
Bought Property.
Last week Mrs. B. C. Milner
purchased from Mrs. J. C. Porch
the home place of the latter on
Elm Street. The deal was closed
and the papers signed up whereby
the property passed into possess
of Mrs. Milner last week. Mrs.
Milner and family will probably
move into their new home in the
early fall. This is a valuable
piece of property and they are
fortunate in securing it. The
people of this city are to be
congratulated on securing these
good people as residents of the
town. Mrs. Porch has not yet
decided what steps she will take
regarding her home in the future.
She may buy another or she may
build somewhere else in the city,
at any rate it is to be hoped that
she will continue to make this
city her place of residence.
Two New Buildings.
Mr. J. L. Kennedy will at once
begin the erection of two new
building on Market street. The
material is already being placed
on the ground and the work will
be rapidly pushed to completion.
The two buildings will extend from
Market street back to the spur
track recently put in back of the
shop of C. M. Dumas. One of
these buildings will be used for a
store and the other one for a stable,
and their erection will be quite
an improvement to that portion
of market street.

Gov. Terrell has reappointed
Judge C. J. Lester, judge, and Col.
W. W. Lambdin, solicitor, of the
city court of Bartlesville, for a
term of four years from January

has given satisfaction to the
majority of the people of thecom
- m unity.
