THK ITIIPOSH OK IH'TTINCi OUT A TICK KT FOlt THE COMING Pit I >1 All Y TO BE 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. Confederate Veterans.

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. NEW CROP TURNIP JEEP JUST RECEIVED AT Blackburn’s Drug store.
