SPIRITED ELECTION
Horne, Klugh and Stocks Win For
Aldermen Monday.
Mr. E. G. Horne led the ticket, Mr.
C. E. Stocks was second and Mr. G.
|S. Klugh came third in the primary
! nomination for Aldermen Monday,
i these three winning in quite a
spirited contest, all of which was
friendly and in the best of humor,
scores of citiens expressing: them
selves as finding it very hard to
make up their minds as to what names
to erase from the ballot. There were
six unusually popular men running
for the three places and three had to
meet defeat. There was much in
terest manifested throughout the day,
all the candidates being active and
their friends also taking a hand in
I working to run up the vote for their
i favorite.
The following is the vote in detail
las announced by the election man
agers :
Pierce Hammond, 172.
E. G. Horne, 248.
G. S. Klugh, 185.
C. J. McDowell, 144.
C. E. Stocks, 203.
J. S. Talley, 157.
The regular City election was held
Tuesday when Messrs. Horne, Klugh
and Stocks were elected for the term
of two years, beginning on Septem
ber Bth next, when they will be sworn
in and begin their service as aider
men. They will unquestionably make
the city splendid officials and they
have been heartily congratulated on
their success in winning in a contest
against such splendid citizens as they
had to defeat.
! The holdover officials are Mayor W.
T. Summers, and Aldermen D. L. An
derson, E. L. Coleman and S. Batson.
Those whp retire on September Bth
are Aldermen W. C. Jordan, C. E.
Suggs and Pierce Hammond, the first
two of whom were not candidates to
succeed themselves. Mr. Hammond
has served as alderman for several
years and has made a good record,
having served the city well in that
capacity. He lacked just a few
votes of winning in Monday’s elec
tion.
TAX COLLECTOR ILL
Mr. Gus Smith, Lamar’s Tax Col
lector, has been right sick this week
at his home on Elm street, but his
hosts of friends will be glad to know
that he is now much improved, all
of whom hope for his early and com
plete restoration to health.
TO OPEN NEW MARKET
Mr. C. E. Stocks, who was this
week nominated and elected as one
of Barnesville’s new aldermen, will
open up anew meat market in one
of the rooms formerly occupied by
Mr. A. L. Jones on Zebulon street.
Mr. Stocks is an experienced man
in this line of business and is thor
oughly qualified for making a success
of his new enterprise, in which he
has always been successful. He will
likely have a good trade from the
opening of his place of business,
which will be about September Ist.
Mr. Stocks will also operate a
wholesale business, dealing in cattle
and by-products. This will be a
source of pleasure to the citizens of
the community for the reason that
such a wholesale business will proba
bly be worth a great deal to the
farmers of the section. It is hoped
that Mr. Stocks will meet with much
success.
MRS. FRIERSON DEAD
Mrs. James Robert Frierson died at
her home, 117 Corbin avenue, Macon,
Thursday afternoon last week.
Mrs. Frierson was the daughter of
Dr. and Mrs. J. G. Colbert of The
Rock. She had been in declining
health several months. Surviving
are her husband, J. R. Frierson, man
ager of the McFadden Brothers Cot
ton Agency; three daughters, Mrs.
Robert Dempsey, Misse3 Janie and
Mary Frierson; one sister, Mrs. J. W.
Garland of Bamesville, and one
brother, J. G. Colbert.
| Mrs. Frierson with her family
moved to Macon fifteen years ago.
They formerly lived at Butler, Ga.
She was 44 years of age. The body
was taken to Culloden, where the
funeral services were held at the
grave.
TO THE WOMEN
OF LAMAR COUNTY
Some time ago upon the petition
of some of the women of the county,
led by the Woman’s club of Redbone
district, I was called into conference
with Miss Lois Dowdle, representing
the State Home Demonstration Work,
and the Lamar County Board of Edu
cation, with the view of securing a
Home Demonstration Agent to work
among the women of Lamar County,
funds frfim the county, the board of
education and the State and Federal
Government to be used cooperatively
in paying the salary of the agent.
At that time I expressed myself as
being heartily in favor of the work
and in favor of appropriating the
county’s share of the necessary
fiinds, but a decision of the Georgia
Supreme court, rendered in the early
part of the year, held that it was
illegal for the county to make such
an appropriation. I stated then,
however, that I felt that the women
wfere certainly entitled to favorable
consideration on their request and I
pledged that if the legislature, which
was soon to meet, passed any legisla
tion which legalized the apropriation,
I would put up the county’s share of
funds.
At the recent session of the legis
lature an enabling act was passed
which legalized the use of county
funds for the purpose named and I
cheerfully set aside the sum of SSOO
for the use of the woihen of Lamar
county for the year beginning Au
gust 15th for the employment of
their demonstration agent.
Mrs. Clary of Thomson, an ex
perienced agent, arrived here some
days ago and has already entered
upon her duties. I want to urge the
women in every community in the
county to get acquainted with Mrs.
Clary and make generous use of her
services. She can, in all probability,
render you invaluable assistance in
many of your problems, but she can
not do so if you do not give her the
opportunity. Invite her to meet
with the women of your community
and let her tell you how you women
may work together helpfully in mat
ters of mutual interest. I am sure
all the women who make proper use
of the services of the Home Demon
stration agent will profit thereby.
B. H. HARDY, Ordinary.
MR. J.B. SMITH DEAD
Mr. J. B. Smith, a well known citi
zen of the city, died rather suddenly
Tuesday evening. He had been in
failing health for some time but his
death, which was due to heart trouble,
was unexpected.
Mr. Smith was G 4 years old and
was a man who was held in high es
teem among the people of the com
munity, all of whom regret to know
of his death. He is survived by sev
eral children.
HURT BY FALL
Miss Mary Bowers, who lives with
her relatives, Mr. and Mr3. Theodore
Crowder, while on a visit among rela
tives and friends near Rock Creek
church, fell into a gulley Monday,
badly hurting herself, from which she
has suffered considerably ever since.
She was brought home Monday and
it is expected that she will soon be
recovered from the effects of the fall.
MRS. SIMS ILL
Mrs. Clarence Sims ha3 been quite
ill for the past week. She is report
ed as better this week and all her
friends hope she will soon be well
again.
