BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24. 1903.
$25,000 BUILDING.
CONGRESSMAN BABTLKTT HAS
INTRODUCED RILL FOR PUBLIC
BUILDING IN RAKNESVILLK.
Barnesville is to have a hand
some public building for the post
office, to be built by the govern
ment, to cost $25,000. At least
this is what the city needs and
Congressman Bartlett has intro
duced a bill in Congress asking
for an appropriation for this pur
pose.
It is hoped that the bill will be
passed as Barnesville certainly
needs such a building. Every
body at all familiar with the'situ
ation here knows that the present
quarters for the post office ure only
about one fourth large enough
and more consideration for the
officials find the public should be
shown by the government.
Barnesville is constantly grow
ing and the need of such a build
ing as the bill of Congressman
Bartlett contemplates is just
what is demanded by the interests
of the public. Let Barnesville
have the $25,000 public building.

were played the bride entered oh
the arm of her brother, Mr. 8. B.
Burr, followed by the groom and
Mrs. S. B. Burr. They were met
in the center of the parlors by Dr.

ceremony in an impressive man
ner, while Mrs. R. E. Brown play
ed softly the beautiful song “Vio
lets.” The bride’s gown was a
handsome traveling suit of blue
cloth, with hat to match, and
she carried a bouquet of white
carnation*. Mrs. 8. B. Burr,
