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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Com band brush, shaving and mani cure sets at It. H. Wootten s. R. H.

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. Phone 55, W.

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 The travelers carry with them iL’kij for amjrry cl. 1--'.
