BARNESYILLE BANK
HAS GOOD YEAR
The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Barnesville Bank was
held in the office of the bank Friday
afternoon last week. Reports from
officers and the audit committee who
gave detailed statements of the af
fairs of the bank made a good show
ing for the business of the bank, not
withstanding the financial depression
which has existed throughout the
community and country. The bank
was found to be in a sound condition
in every department and ready and
able to take splendid care of its pa
trons.
The usual semi-annual dividend of
4 per cent was declared, making 8
per cent for the year 1921. The
bank is a member of the Federal Re
serve system and is a state deposi
tary:
The following officers and direc
tors were elected for 1922: A. H.
English, president; John G. Bush,
vice-president; Emmett Langford,
cashier; L. F. Lewis, assistant cash
ier. The board of directors is com
posed as follows: A. H. English,
John G. Bush, Emmett Langford, B.
F. Reeves, J. S. Milner, B. H. Hardy,
W. A. Prout and Dr. J. M. Anderson.
The bank was organized in 1908
and now has a capital of $50,000. It
has splendidly served the community
, since it was established.
BASKETBALL GAME FRIDAY
There will be a great game of
basketball Friday evening, beginning
at 8 o’clock, between Gordon Girls
and the fine team from the Draug
han Business College of Atlanta.
This promises to be one of the
sharpest and snappiest games play
ed in Barnesville during the entire
season. The visiting team is recog
nized as one of the best girls’ or
Women’s teams in Georgia but the
Gordon girls are going to put up
their best possible game in order to
hold down the score. Gordon can
hardly expect to win against the
odds which will be against them but
the Gordon team is going to do some
fighting in the effort to win. Captain
Hea says it will be a game well
worth witnessing. The admission will
be 25 cents. There wiil probably be
a large crowd present to see it.
NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK
The vveek of January 17th to Jan
uary 23rd, 1922, has been designated

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
IMPROVING
Mr. D. C. Collier, manager of the
Collier Mills, Inc., with plants in
Barnesville and Macon, returned
Saturday from New York City, where
he recently spent some time On busi
ness. While there he interviewed
bankers and business men of Wall
street and came in contact with busi
ness men from other sections of the
country and he states that he found
a much better spirit prevailing
among them and a more hopeful
view being entertained regarding
business conditions everywhere. He
expressed the belief, based on what
he heard, that no one need expect
any boom but that there will continue
to be a slow and steady advance in
all lines of business.
Mr. Collier reports orders on hand
to keep both of their plants busy for
the next several months.

Olin E. Crawford, two well known

their many friends throughout the
community, wishing them a long and
happy life.

Humphrey, reader. It will be quite
an interesting and enjoyable enter
tainment and there should be a large

BARNESVILLE A. C.
WINS OVER G. A. B.
The Barnesville Athletic Club de
feated Georgia-Alabama Business
College last night in the new City
Auditorium in basketball by the score
of 28 to 18. A small crowd of ap
proximately 100 fans witnessed the
contest which marked the second
meeting' of the season between the
two teams.
Clever floor work on the part of
Kemp and O. Dumas, forwards for
the visitors, accounted for the suc
i cess of the invaders while the work
of Louis Pellew for the locals offer
ed the only consolation for the col
legians in defeat. Kemp was the
! high point man of the struggle with
fourteen markers and O. Dumas
came second with a round dozen
Ptllew scored ten of the points made
by the home outfit.
The score at the end of the first
half was 12 to 4 in favor of the
Barnesville crew and they held the
lead from that point on through
three baskets close together in the
final few minutes of play made the
affair interesting in the end.
Inability to make good easy tries
for goals contributed largely to the
G. A. B. team’s downfall, for they
had just as many chances for baskets
as their opponents.—Macon Tele
graph.
Speaking of Basket ball, all those
who failed to see the game between
th§ Barnesville Athletic Club and
Griffin Athletic Club last Friday
night, missed a rare treat of the sea
son. It was one of the best games
that has been played this year, and
full of pep. It looked as though the
game did not belong to anybody for
a while, but Griffin edged in a few
points on the local team and came
out the winner. The final score was
21 to 16.
The Barnesville Athletic team is
one of the strongest teams in this
section, and has already played
some strong teams this season. They
showed great improvement in team
work last Friday night, which it
takes to make a winning team.
The Barnesville Athletic Club and
Gordon will have another game in
the near future, the date not being
determined just yet, which promises
to be well worth seeing. All those
who saw the other game between the
two teams know what kind of a
game it will be. Let everybody
take more interest in the great sport
and patronize the two teams more
in the future than they have in the
past.
