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.

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.
