They have hosts of friends who hope that they will continue to live in Barnesville. Improvements Should be Pushed Mr. J. C. Collier, chairman of the finance committee of the city council, who consummated the sale of the SIO,OOO improvement bonds, says that the bonds were placed at a lower rate of interest than the bonds of such cities as Birmingham, Memphis and others of like population are being offer ed for, and in view of the fact that so many bonds of larger is sues are on sale at the present time throughout the countrv, the sale of the Barnesville bonds is very satisfactory. The cash for the bonds has already been turned into the city treasury and the work for which the bonds were voted will begin and be pushed to completion. The work has already been de layed and the city officials should see to it that it is now pushed vigorously. The most glorious task is made up of insignificant trifles.

The Augusta Chronicle in com menting on the all'airs of the en campment held in that city last week had this to say of the work of Col. J. Q. Nash, who took part in that event: “Lieut. Col. J. Quincy Nash, assistant inspector general of the state of Georgia, who was the per manent field officer of the day at Camp Terrell, is receiving congrat ulations on every hand for the ef ficient manner ip which he is per forming the duty that has been assigned to him. His work con sisted entirely of fault finding but every man in the camp was his friend. On his shoulders rests the responsibility for the order of the brigade as well as the sani tary condition and appearance of the grounds. A trip to Camp Terrell is sufficient to convince any one of his ability in this line. The ideas that Col. Nash carried into effect were based on many years experience. He is one of the oldest and best known officers in the state service.” God’s work must be done in God’s way. NEW CROP TURNIP TEED JUST RECEIVED AT Blackburn’s Drug store. FIDGETY?
