FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE
ON ATLANTA AVENUE
On Tuesday night about 8 o’clock
the home of Mr. T. J. Bailey on At
lanta avenue was completely de
stroyed by fire. The fire is thought
to have originated from a stove flue
,in the living room.
Mr. Bailey and his brother, Mr.
Joe Bailey, had just left the house
a few moments before to go to Grif
fin and there was no one in the house
when the fire was discovered.
Mr. Bailey has been living here for
some time, being connected with the
State Highway Department, but has
recently been transferred to Atlanta,
where his family is now staying. He
had not moved his household furni
ture, which was all lost in the fire.
Mr. Bailey states that he had about
$1,500 insurance on the house and
about SI,OOO on his household ef
fects. He expresses sincere appre
ciation to the people of Barnesville
for their kindness and sympathy ex
tended him on account of his misfor
tune.
The house next to Mr. Bailey’s was
threatened once or twice, but owing
to the hard and faithful work of the
firemen it was saved from destruc
tion.

MR. MYERS DIES
Mr. A. F. Myers, formerly a citi
zen of Barnesville, and the organizer
of the Myers Ice Cos. here a number
of years ago, coming to the city from
Kentucky, died last Thursday in East
Point, having been stricken with
paralysis. Dr. J. A. Corry of this
city, his family physician when a
resident here, was called to see him
but it was impossible to save his
life, so severe was the affliction. The
burial occurred at Colege Park.
Mr. Myers is survived by his
widow and one son, Mr.
Myers, who has been, in business at
Carrollton for several years. i
Mr. Myers was well liked by the
people of Barnesville. He was a
good citizen and business man, and
his widow and son will have the sym
pathy of all the people here in their
sorrow.
DR. HOLMES HAS
TWENTY YEAR SERVICE
Dr. E. T. Holmes did not attend
the annual meeting of the S. I. A.
A., which was held last week at
Greenville, S. C., the first meeting
he has missed in twenty years, but
that did not prevent his election as
the secretary and treaurer of the as
sociation for about the twentieth
time, which is quite an unusual hon
or. Dr. Holmes had written the of
ficials that he would not attend and
asked that they elect someone else
as his successor but they unanimous
ly declined and re-elected him to the
position which he has so acceptably
filled for these many years.
MR. HOWEII DIES
The people of Barnesville will be
interested in the announcement of
the death of Mr. John Howell, which
occurred in Lyons, Ga., Tuesday of
last week. Mr. Howell’s little son,
John Howell, Jr., accompanied by
Mrs. R. S. Berry, were called to
Lyons by Mr. Howell’s illness but he
died before they reached there.
They were there at the funeral. Mrs.
Berry returned home last week but
John remained there with relatives
for a short stay. He will return to
Barnesville and continue his home
with Mr. and Mrs. Berry at their
home on Elm street.
The people of Barnesville will
sympathize deeply with the little fel
low because of the los3 of his father.
The Lyons paper contained the
following notice of Mr. Howell’s
death:
John Howell, prominent citizen of
Lyons, died last Tuesday afternoon
at two olclock after being in failing
health for the past four years.
Mr. Howell is survived by a wife
and five children, his mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Howell, of Lyons, two
brothers, S. F. Howell, of Americus,
G. G. Howell, of Reidsville; four sis
ters, Mrs. A. S. Mosley, Mrs. H. T.
Newton, Mrs. A. L. Oliver, all of
Lyons, and Mrs. Geo. Coleman, of
Villa R'ica, Ga.
Funeral services were held at the
Lyons Baptist church Wednesday af
ternoon at two-thirty o’clock. Rev.
A. D. Woodle, pastor of the Lyons
Baptist church, preached the funeral.
Mr. Howell was a member of the
Baptist church.
REBUILDING SHOP
Mr. W. H. Crowder is rapidly re
building his shop on Taylor street
which was recently burned down, to
gether with the stables of Mr. W. J.
Adams and the garage of Mr. John
T. Middlebrooks.
Mr. Crowder will soon have the
building finished and his machinery
replaced with new and up-to-date
equipment, which will perhaps enable
him to all the better meet the de
mands of his patrons for good and
quick work. The building and j
equipment will be even' better than
the old plant.
Mr. Crowder expects to have Mr.
J. A. Stone, one of the best shop
men in the state, to have active man
agement of the repairing as he did
before the fire. Mr. Stone is super- j
intending the erection ’of the build
ing, which is located at the same
place and will be the same size as
the building which was recently
burned down.
