The students of the Georgia Nor

however that there will be a few left

else where who may desire them at

those who may desire copies to send
their name and address before Ja nuary

New Electrical Firm
Commences Work Here
Mr. J. N. Jackson, one of the best
electricians in the state, has opened of
fices here and is doing quite a lot of
writing. He makes a specialty of wir
ing houses, putting in electric bells, and
a trial will convince any one of the
efficiedcy of his work and he has a full
line of supplies also, consequently
there will be no delay with him.
FOR NATIONAL BANK
Mr. Julius A. Horne Slates Thai
Prominent Men of This Section
Wll Hold Shares In New Enterprise.
S FIRST MEETING OF
THE NEW TRUSTEES
Progress with the National Bank
proposed for this city is very satisfac
tory, accordidg to a statement from Mr.
J. A. Horne, who is behind the project.
The stockholders will be scattered
through this city and county and even
a number of shares will be held by
residents of other counties.
The idea is to have a co-operative
movement in the enterprise and with
this in view the number of stockholders
has been as widely scattered as possi
ble. It is stated that virtually every
dollar of the capital could have been
obtained from a dozen Milledgeville
men, but the centralized movement
was not approved.
It is proposed to have the new bank
open bv the first of February and if
this done it will be ready for spring
business.

Recent Appointees ol Gov. Brown
Gathered at Sanitarium Yester
day And Began Work For
Institution.
With only three members of the old
board of trustees remaining the state
sanitarium trustees held there first
meeting yesterday. Much local and
state interest was centered in the gath
ering and the organization of the board
was watched with considerable inter
est.
In view of the fact that the famous
institution has attracted undue atten
tion during the past year the action of
the new hoard will be kept before the
public incessantly. It is expected that
the next session of the legislature will
see some provision made for a tuber
culosis building and while the manage
ment is making the best possible pro
vision for the patients now still some
improvement is badly needed.
The personnel of the new board is as
follows, the first three being the old
members:
John T. Brantley, of Blackshear:
Richard Johnson, of Gray, and Dr.
Thomas R. Wright, of Augusta. Be
sides Mr. Smith the other members of
the board are: H H. Dean, of Gaines
ville; Dr. J. C. Jarnagan, of Warrenton,
George S. Lowndes, of Atlanta; Dr. N.
Peterson, of Tifton; Henry Banks, of
LaGrange, and P. H. Gambrel!, of Ma
con.
The newly appointed board of trus
tees organized by the election of John
T, Brantley, president: Henrv Banka,
vice president, and Richard Johnson,
secetary.
The board received bids for a large
quantity of supplies and transacted a
great deal of routine business.
The future of the meeting was the
appointment of committees.
They were as follows:
Executive Committer—Henry Banks,
chairman; Richard Johnson, Geo. S.
Lowndes, P. H. Gambrel), Dr J. C.
Jarnagin.
Finance and Auditing Committee-
Geo. S. Lowndes, chairman: Dr. J. C.
Jarnagin, P. H. Gambrell, Henry
Banks, Richard Johnson.
Committee on Sanitary, Medical and
Dispensary service—Dr. T, R. Wright,
chairman; Dr. N. Peterson, H. H.
Dean.
Committee on Buildings and Grounds
—II. M. Smith, chairman; II. H. Dean.
Geo. S. Lowndes.
Committee on Farm and Outside
Business—Dr. J. C; Jarnagin; chair
man; H. M. Smith, Dr. N. Peterson.

Leg Crushed liy Dummy
Car Leaving The Track
Conductor Heard Oliver in charge of
the "Dummy” of the Milledgeville
Railway Co. had his left leg virtually
crushed in some inexplicable way Thurs
day afternoon just across Fishing Creek.
One of the cars of the "Dummy” left
the track and Mr. Oliver who was on
the car was thrown off. The car con
tinued traveling for quite a distance
and in nome manner the conductor was
caught and his leg broken in two or
three places and he was also badly la
cerated, according !to eye witnesses.
Dr. Atkinson was on the scene in a few
minutes and Mrs. Perry and Hall also
came quickly. Everything possible
was done for the wounded man, but he
was painfully hurt. He has a wife and
family and is quite well known here.
Bishop Nelson Will be
Here Next Sunday Mom
The Right Rev. C. K. Nelson, bishop
of the Atlanta Diocese of the Episcop
al church will be in Milledgeville Sun
day and administer the rite of confirm
ation at St. Stephen’s Episcopal church.
The services will be held at 11 o’clock
and the public is cordially invited.
The coming of Bishop Nelson is a
v'sit of more than ordinary importance;
especially to the Episcopalians and
there is no doubt but that a large con
gregation will greet him.

SHOP EARLY AND BE
Una-'' m*’ ——
Rev. Jullen S. Rogers, of Atlanta,
Formulates Several Reasons Why
People Should Buy Now.
One of the best arguments in 1 he Con
stitution’s early shopping contest, aB
decided by the judges, was that of Rev.
Julien S. Rodgers, ot 686 Piedmont
avenue, Atlanta, which appears below.
Why Shop Early?”
Well, there are reasons "too num
erous to mention.” But as the preach
er would say, you should shop early
beoauso:
I. IT IS SAFE.
Firstly—It helps the merchant, the
man wfio invests his time, talent and
too, searching the wide world over to
satisfy your, Christmas whims. Gruti-
tude is both saint-like and opportune at
Chriatmastide.
Secondly-It helps the salespeople,
the tired men and women who stand
behind counters and aro paid to please.
Just think of the salvage, brain and
religion secure 1,
Thirdly—U halos you, the greatest
risk. The law of reflection is uni
versal—what helps others, help you.
You gdt back what you give out,
“presseddown, running over" in satis
faction compensation gratitude.
II. IT IS SANE.
It is insane to jeopardize "life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness” in
a mad effort to get waited on nil at
once at the last minute, when hun
dreds of others aro "jeopardizing” for
the same thing.
It is insane to expect to skim cream,
when there is nothing left but whey
and cli.bber.
It is insane to expect pr ompt de
liveries of purchase when hundreds
of others with equal rights aro demand
ing the same thing.
HI. It IS SELFISH.
It is selfish ’ sometimes to be unsel
fish—to want to save yourself and
thereby save other. The law of self-
P” ?A*.vtkion in tins instance preserves
both ways.
IV. IT IS SATISFACTORY.
The merchant is satisfied because
the merchandise moves; the sales
people are satisfied because you and
the boss are satisfied, and you are
satisfied because, Caesar-like, you
“came; you saw: you conquered.”
V. IT IS SAVING.
It saves time, temper, talk, trouble,
tin, tension and turmoil, and other
things too terrible to tell at this time.

Hon. Miller S. Bull Will Follow Cus
tom Inaugurated Last Year And
Render Statement of City’s Affairs
Mayor Miller S. Bell will follow the
precedent established last year and
issue an annual report of public nature
giving in detail the accomplishments of
the city’s administration during the
past year and outlining future intention.
The report of Mayor Bell was highly
praised last year and there is no doubt
but the forthcoming report will be up
to the same standard.
Th.i street paving and general Im
provement made daring the past year,
the better financial condition of the
city and the advancement made in many
liner will be interesting to the public.
Sanitarium Rprt Will
5 ujisc
The repoit of the special legislative
committee in reference to the stute
sanitarium, its management and treat
ment of patients, will probably be made
public about Dec 20, according to
authentic infurmation. It was gener
ally understood that the report would I
be maJe to the noxt session of the I
legislature, butnow this is said not to)
be the case and the public will likely)
hear the report sooner.
Lasl week the committee asked the
Sanitarium maiagoment to put in
any rebuttal teBtmony they desired in
the case and tils was done, but in
view of the feet that nothing de
trimental to the iistitution was brought
out b y the wiLeases previously ex
amined there wa: but little offered.
The report will be received with much
interest throughuu the state.

COLLEGE HOYS AND GIRLS
WILL SOON BE GOING HOME
With the approach of the holidays
there is beginning to be a lack ot college
boys and girls on the streets. While
most of them wait until, Christmas to
go home still many try to get away be
fore the rush and consequently some are
already traveling homeward. There
will be but a few to remain here during
the holidays, but they will have as good
a time as possible away from the loved
ones.
Milledgeville folk do everything pos
sible to entertain the girls who stay
here during the vacation period of the
holidays and in view of the fact that so
many resident girls attend the school
there is little reason for any of the
girls who live so far away that they
cannot get homo, worrying about the
