WTC. JORDAN & BPO. 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. Burr^Corey. The following account which ap peared in Sundays Constitution, of the marriage of Miss Clitford Burr to Mr. D. W.
