The Tairburn Banking Company.
which brought the little town of
Fairburn, Ga., into more or less
notoriety within the last two months,
reopens for business at 9 o’clock Fri
day morning, it was announced
Thursday morning,
J. H. Longino.is the new president,
Dr. L. M.- Hobgood the vice presi
dent, succeeding W B, Green, and
George Edmonson is retained as
cashier. i
~ Temporary quarters for the bank
will be in the store of W. T. Roberts
iat Fairburn. Mr, Roberts was presi
idve.nt of the bank until the reorgani
izaflon meeting of officials Wednes
day afternoon in Fairburn when, it
‘- was announced by Mr, Lonzinol
i.'lfhursdav. he tendered his resigna
‘tion. He becomes chairman of the
l t\oa.rd of directors in the reorganiza
jon. |
OFFICERS PROMINENT. |
The .new .bank officers are well
known around Fairburn. - They have
the cornfidence of the community, it
is announced, and’ are men of ca
pacity and represent substantial in
lteresus in Fairburn, .
Reopening of the Fairburn Banking
lCompany is made possible by an as
sessment on stockholders.
Thq next step in the Fairburn
Banking case will be the hearing in
Atlanta courts Saturday of proceed
ings by Clarérce Bradstreet and his
\ wife, ' Mrs, . ‘Agnes - Catherine Brad
| street, .to .recover jewelry and cloth
ing. valued. .at many. thousand dol
lars, which were taken from them at
the time of their ‘arrest here. The
Bradstreets contend the clothing and
jewelry were not purchased with
money given Mrs. Bradstreet by W.
a 5 ‘Green,‘,the ousted: vice president
of the hank,. who.is charged with
embezzlement of many thousands of
dollars. - - - : . < .
TO RESIST FIGHT. -
The jewelry and clothing proceed
ings will be vigorously resisted by
the attorneys for the banking com
rary. They want to-hold and later
sell the property for the benefit of
the stockholders of the bank.
Then the next step will: be the
grand jury's investigation of the
charges of embezzlement against
Green, the vice president, and the
Bradstreets. il
If the grand jury returns indict
ments, the Bradétreets and Green
will be tried 'in the regular. session
in February of the Circuit Court at
Fairburn.
At presant - .the Bradstreets and
Gieen are at liberty on bond.
Green, it will .be recalled, -told a
story of having been held up, gagged
and robbed and the bank set afire
by masked bandits. The embezzle
ment charges, involving Mrs. Brad
street, follpwed within two weeks
Green denied the.charges.: = . .

A Clean Newspaper for Southern Homes
The present City Commercial H’igh‘
School Building in South Pryor strept!
will be purchased Saturday by the
county commission at a cost of $150,-
1000 and will be converted into a home
for the county High school, it wasi
regarded as certain Thursday by
commissioners.
This will mean that the Commer
cial High will have to seek a new
home.
The failure of the city to Tenew
its lease on the building, following
an increase in rental, it was said, is
responsible for the offer of thei
property to the county. The offer
was made by the Kiser Realty Com
pany.
FINAL ACTION DEFERRED.
The proposition was before the
commission at its regular session |
Wednesday, but final action was de
ferred to Saturday on objection
raised by Commissioner C. R. Turner,
who insisted that the county is not
financially able to take over the
property at this time. |
“We are now facing such a time as
we have never seen before in the
matter of real estate values—they are
higher than ever before—and within
the next two to five years this build
ing may not be worth nearly so much
ag it is today,” said Mr. Turner.
“The county also is facing an in
debtedness of nearly $1,000,000, with
other projects in view, and I don’t see
how we can make this purchase.”
He asked that the commissioners
take more time to think over the
| matter, and a final vote was then
postponed until the sgpecial session
| Saturday afternoon.
PAY RAISE MOVE WINS.
- A spirited fight developed at. the
{ Wednesday session over a proposi
{tion that the commission ask the
‘lLegislature to amend the law creat
in the Municipal Court, so as to give
|the county the right to raise salaries
|of Municipal Court employees not to
exceed 25 per cent. No opposition
was expressed to a raise for the
employees, but some of the commniis
sioners said they saw no need of tak
{ing action at this time, when the
Legislatare does not meet until next
{summer. Chief Judge E. D. Thomas
| explained that he feared some of the
employees would quit unless they
| ware given hope of a raise soon. The
{resolution, favoring the amendment,
finally was passed by a vote of three
to twe, Chairman Poole, and Com
missioners Ethridge and Tiurner vot
ing for it, and Commissioner Oscar
Mills and Dr. W, L. Gilbert against.
The commission also voted an in
crease of $25 per month to the sal
aries of Louis P, Marquardt, Plennie
Miner and James Garrison, assist
ants in the office of Solicitor John
A. Boykin. This action was taken on
‘| request of the solicitor. ‘
