HEI.I) THIS MONTH.
A mass meeting composed of a
large number of representative
citizens was held at the City Hall
i last Friday night for the purpose
[of naming a ticket to lie run in
municipal primary, which is to
be held this month, for a Mayor,
three Aldermen and one Dispen
sary Commissioner. Col. E. A.
Stephens was unanimously
chosen chairman of the meeting
and Mr. R. L. Swatts was
made secretary. The chairman
briefly stated the object of the j
meeting, and then proceeded
with the selection of the ticket.
Mr. Otis A. Murphey was nom
inated for Mayor on the first bal
lot.
Mr. Murphey being named for
Mayor left a vacancy in the office
of another Alderman, and there
fore a ticket of four Aldermen
had to be named and this was
done, resulting in the choosing of
the following four names be ; ng
selected to run: M. W. Smith,
D. L. Anderson, H. H. Gray and
T. W. Cochran.
When the office of Dispensary j
Commissioner came up for con- !
sideration the choice fell upon
Mr. W. C. Jordan for that office,
and he was put on the ticket, j
He is one of the retiring Alder- I
men.
Mr. Otis A. Murphey will re-j
sign his office to make the race j
for Mayor. This is the only ticket j
that has been mentioned, and i
there will probably be no other, j
as it seems to meet with the ap
probation of the citizenship of;
the town. The meeting was a!
harmonious one and everything
passed off smoothly.

We the undersigned Confeder
ate Veterans respectfully urge all
Veterans living in Barnesville
and vicinity to meet in the opera

resignation to go into effect next
week. He will be succeeded by
Mr. W. R. Turner who will enter
upon his new duties in the bank

Woodards reason for resigning his

friends during his connection with
this bank by his conduct in as

his friends wish him much success
at the University.

Connally Property Sold.
The two-story dwelling house
and lot on Forsyth street, known
as the Connally place, property of
the late J. H. Connally, was sold
at public outcry to the highest
bidder Tuesday morning at 11
o’clock, by Mr. James E. Leps,
administrator, of Blue Ridge.
The place was bid in by Dr. B.
Rumble, of Goggins, the price

property is a very desirable one
being a beautiful lot and in a de

no mean ability, arid it is with
pleasure that we present this spec
imen of his verse to the public.
In Fine Shape.
The First National Bank of
Barnesville has just been exam
ined and audited and found in
fine shape. The representative
of the Comptroller of Currency
was here the 21st of July and he
and two of the Directors went
through the bank’s notes and list
ed them in detail, scrutinizing ev
ery paper and making a thorough
examination. The President had
his expert accountant to make one
of his periodical examinations
August 4th. This work was done
by Mr. Davis, Special Accountant.
The large loans are notonly ap
| proved by the Directors when
made, hut each loan is read in de
tail at the regular monthly Di
rectors Meeting and approved by
i the entire Board.
The First National Bank made
\*>% the first year, and on account
of the fact that the Directors are
paid for each monthly Directors
Meeting they attend, they take
more interest in the details of the
Bank. Its business is on the in
crease, and the public at large
I will continue to feel satisfied with
the present management.
