Barnesville News-Gazette. Volume 55 DON’T FORGET Our “Ad” in last week’s issue. We made unbelieva ble prices on dependable merchandise and chal lenge anybody to find any deviation in quality of goods or prices made in this sweeping, adver tisement. Our faithful effort to deal legitimate ly has been acknowl edged by the throngs of people that have crowded our store sinee Saturday morning. S. M. Marshburn BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA The Story of the Big House on the Hill Every town has its “big house on the hill”—a rich man who has be come financially independent and is perhaps the envy of those around him. But the base of all this prosperity has been thrift. He has banked his \ money—then invested it wisely with the cooperation of his banking con nections. Yes, the big house op the hill is built on the sound foundation of THRIFT.

Seaborn Wright third. The result was quite a surprise as the county was expected to go for Hardwick by a big lead. Hon. Charles E. McGregor carried the county for Pension Commissioner over Judge Clark by a big vote. THE FAIR WAS A FINANCIAL SUCCESS It will be very gratifying to the citizens of Barnesville and Lamar county to know the Lamar County Fair last week was a financial suc cess. All expenses will be paid from the receipts and there will probably be some profit, which makes a highly creditable showing. The officers are working on their statement which will be made in due time to the stockholders of the asso ciation. CITY COURT CONVENES The City Court of Barnesville has had a busy session this week, con vening Monday, Judge J. F. R'edding presiding and Solicitor H. M. John son looking after the state’s interests in criminal cases. Quite a lot of business has been disposed of, both civil and criminal. NEGRO BOY SHOT Sheriff Elliott, Dewey Farr and Sam Fortson, while out hunting for some prisoners who had escaped from jail Sunday night, shot a negro boy, a son of Ed Fletcher, a respected negro citizen of the community. The sheriff’s party approached a buggy which they thought contained the prisoners and in his excitement the Fletcher boy jumped out of the bug gy and started to run off when he was shot in the leg, the thigh being shattered. The party says he had a pistol which caused them to think he was trying to shoot them. The Fletcher boy is at the home of his father where he is being treat ,ed by Dr. J. M. Rogers. The shoot ing is regrettable and it is hoped the boy’s life and leg will be saved. AUTOMOBILE RACE CAME NEAR ENDING SERIOUSLY “Fatty” McKenzie narrowly es caped serious injury and perhaps death in the automobile races at the Fair grounds Thursday, when one of his wheels gave way as he was turn ing the curve at the lower end of the track, and to avoid going over the embankment he deliberately ran the racer into a post of the Central Georgia Power Cos., breaking the pole and jarring the wire loose from the cross bar. He shot over the windshield, carrying the steering wheel with him. Everybody expect ed to find him dead but as the crowd rushed toward the scene they saw “Fatty” come up smiling as if noth ing unusual had happened. But “Fatty” didn’t race any more that day. TO THE BARNESVILLE MERCHANTS AND WOMEN The president and other officers of the Civic League wish to thank most heartily both the merchants who gave groceries, and the women who made donations and helped at the Club House Cafe during Fair week. We had a splendid Fair, with good patronage at the Club House and the booth. There were many women not members of the League who assisted us in making our project a success. We thank them especially, and we assure them and the public that the money made will be used for good causes both civic and benevolent. MRS. L. A. COLLIER, Pres. MARIAN ELDER JONES, Sec. Mrs. Paul D. Bryan of Atlanta is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Yarbrough, on Elm street. Mr. and Mrs. Pell Burnette an nounce the birth of a liittle son on Monday, October 16, who was named William Franklin, but will be called “Billy” for short. AN EXPRESSION OF APPRECIATION In behalf of the Lamar County Fair Association I wish to thank everybody who in anyway helped to make the fair a success and the pub lic generally for the splendid co operation and patronage given us. We want to express our appreciation especially to the Woman’s Club, the Three Arts Club, the Woman’s Club of Milner, the Woman’s Club of Red bone, the U. D. C.’s, the W. C. T. U.’s, the Red Cross, the Kindergar ten, the schools, merchants and manu facturers for the beautiful floats that were designed and made for the pa rade Tuesday. The parade was largely responsible for drawing to Barnesville the largest crowd that has been here in a long time. While there are many things that we might have done to have added to the Fair, yet we feel very much gratified over the success we have had in the face of adverse circumstances. Faithfully yours, T.
