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.

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. MRS.

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.

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.

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.

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. - ■■■ Please don’t ask us to make any more tickets.—American Shoe Store, i E.
