success, we expect to raise this department to a
higher standard than ever. We have sifted the
markets and culled from the production of the ar

Having received the
Best Selected
Stock of Millinery
Ever shipped into Barnseville, the other important
factor was to secure the services of
MISS SALLIE RUSHIN
for the season. Miss Rusin has more natural tact
and more experience in the Millinery business than
any lady in Georgia. Those who know her realizes
this to be a truthful statement. She leaves nothing
undone in her effort to please her customers.
MISS JESSIE TORBERT will assist Miss
Rushin. Come and see our display and feast your
eyes on the zenith of art in HATS. In connection
with our mammoth Hat display we will have on

THE NEW COUNTY AMENDMENTS.
We call the attention of our
readers especially tot,wo proposed
amendments to the Constitution
of the state —the one increasing
the number of Counties in the
state from IR7 to 145, and the
other increasing the number of
members of the House of Repre
sentatives from 175 to 1811. iu
iother words, these two amend
ments propose to add eight new
Counties to the state and this will
necessitate the addition of eight
new members to the House of
Representatives. These two con
stitutional amendments will be
voted upon by the people of the
state at the general state election
in October, and if a majority of
the voters vote “for ratification,”
they will then become part of the
fundamental law, and the next
Legislature, which meets next
June, will proceed to lay out the
new counties in those sections of
the state which need them most.
We trust our readers will not
fail to vote for both of these
amendments. These new coun
ties are greatly needed in the
state. No new counties have
been made since the Constitution
of 1877 limited the number to
187. Since 1877 however, the
state has made great progress, has
been traversed in all directions by
new railroads, and has doubled
its population. Owing to the
new developments that have taken
place and to the fact that the
growth of the population has been
in many instances along lines
different from what they were be
fore 1877, there is great public
necessity for these new counties.
In many sections of the state, the
people have to travel from 20 to
40 mil of to attend the Superior
and County courts and the Courts
of Ordinary and to examine the
public records; and populous rail
road, commercial and financial
centers have sprung up which are
many miles from the County sites.
In this way, much inconvenience
has been put upon great bodies of
the citizens of the state, and it
is due to them that they have the
same advantages us other seel ions.
Not only will the making of
these new counties be a great pub
lic convenience to the citizenship
of the stute, but they will add a
new impetus to the development
of the sections whore they are es
tablished, and will in this way,
add greatly to the taxable values
and revenues of the state. In
stead of these new counties ad
ding to the burdens of the state
they will in this way necessariiy
increase the resources and reve
nues of the state.
The question involved ih oue
of public convenience to a great
mass of the bent citizens of the
state, and is also one of great in
terest #to the state at !arg<*.
The state of Georgia, in the
exercise of its sovereign powers,
laid out the original counties to
suit the convenience of the peo
ple, and it has from time to time,
up to the Constitution of 1877,
added new counties and cut up
old ones and changed county lines
for the same purpose, and the
time has now come for the state
to again heed the demands and
pressing necessities of its citizens
and amend the Constitution so as
to meet the changed conditions
and give relief wherever needed.
Tfa* state is supreme in the mat
ter and there are no vested rights
involved The new counties will
add to the progress, development
and prosperity of the state and
will confer great local benefits.
We hope therefore that both
amendments will be ratified at
the polls on next Wednesday,
