THE BARTOW TRIBUNE (TRIBUNE VOL. 13, No. 6.) (NEWS, VOL. 37, No. 47.) Valuable Property Acquired For Use of All Citizens For All Time-Playgrounds Assured The city of Cartersville now owns the valuable Fair Grounds property, in fee sim ple, and absolute. This happy condition be came a matter of record on Tuesday at noon, when May or Warren Tinsley, acting for the Board of City Commis sioners, formally “bid in” the property at sheriff’s sale, con ducted at the court house. It was sold as the property of the Bartow- County Fair Association to satisfy a mort gage foreclosure in favor of Mrs. Caroline G. -Tones, who held a note, with interest charges, secured against the Fair association. This proceeding was gone through with the full consent of all parties, and the city purchased it after the City Commissioners had been giv en every assurance that an overwhelming majority of citizens and tax-payers de sired that such acquisition be made. Is Valuable Property. With this purchase, which cost the city nine thousand dollars, goes a tract of thirty four acres, being parts of land lots Nos. 552, 553, 600 and 601 in the 4th district and 3rd section of Bartow county. * On this tract are located' all the biiijdings formerly •trsett 'uy UfTTtfli tfswwJaffrm in carrying on the fair each year, as well as the grand stand. While all the details have not been worked out. it is saf e to say this property has been saved for use as a play ground for the people of Car tersville and Bartww county, and to be used by them for all time to come. The thought o? losing this property for such a purpose has been a veritable “night mare” to scores and scores of people, and when the an FARM BUREAU MEMBERS MUST BUY FERTILIZER Orders Should Come in At Once, or Possibly They Can’t Be Filled Later, Say Officials. Mr. J. Hugh Gilreath, chairman of th e marketing committee of the Farm Bureau, announced this week he had just received information which led him to believe the car shortage would make delivery of fertilizers this spring a matter of no littl e worry. For that reason, he urges all mem bers of the Farm Bureau to place their orders at once with Mr. Barnett, at the bonded ware house with Mr. Robert Boyd, at Adairsville, or with Mr. Gil reath Buying in quantities. Farm Bu. reau members have saved quite a lot of money on their fertilizer, officials say. * Those who insist that buyinig co-op eratively doe3 not pay the farmer who buys in less than carload lots, do not know what a great service the Farm Bureau is rendering its members, it is pointed out. Mr. Gilreath is giving unreservedly of his time and talents to the Farm JBureau members, in the hope that he may be of service. The officers and members feel they should congratulate themselves upon having a farmer of Mr Gilreath's ability to look after the details, and he is glad to do so, they announce.

THE CARTERSVILLE NEWS nouncement - was made that th e city had,actually bought it, a great load was lifted off the minds of all forward looking and progressive Citi zens. In future, its use will be dedicated to the pleasure of all citizens, of the county as well as the town. Here the city of Carters ville has the beginning of what should prove, before many years have passed, the most interesting spot in North Georgia. If, in future, a fair is plan ned for, those backing it may know they’ have a place to go to hold it. ,In th e summer, the grounds will be open for baseball games; here athletic events of all kinds may be held on its spacious acres, while the players of the fascinating game of golf may rest as sured their course has been preserved for them. It was a great day for Car tersville and Bartow county when Mayor Tinsley, ably backed by Commissioners Peebles and Bridges, took the step which assured these grounds will in future be ded icated for use, by all the peo ple, as a play ground— Its value as such is incal culable— The purchase price of nine thousand dollars is "a mere bagatelle— The Tribune-News believes it speaks the sentiments of a vast majority of citizens when assurances are given the city officials they did just what they should hav e done; any thing less would not have been doing their full duty. A number of business men, knowing the value of such property, say the purchase of the Fair Grounds property is the best investment ever made by the city of Cartes ville.
