Among the first people to hear about at Summit was Dr. Walter Roundtree. One can not hut regret that a man bo obviously fitted for his profession, the practice of medicine, should be engrossed by business of another kind. Dr. Rountree some years ago be come deeply interested in some real estate holdings hero; and, in order to be useful as well as well-to-do, went to developing them. He thus became responsible for the existence of several of these fine stores in the central of the town. And his achieve ment honors him. Nearby is the long established business of J. L. Overstreet. General merchandise is the main concern of this house, while several accessories to trade fall Mr. Overstreet's way. - ' ,''* ’/’"Pt' ■'• '' • ■ '• • ■ . . ■* " • * T** • • V ■> ’ ' > / J L c~iu •. - .1 Residence of Mr. Wade Rountree, Summit, Ga. Popular and capable, we wonder if he be not cut out for some public preferment at the bands of his friends? Mr. Overstreet is well known in Augustu. The People's Bank of Summit is quite worth while as an object study. Organized less than five years ago, the stock is now worth 185. Dividends of S per cent per annum have been paid all the time. A public official In pronounced this unprecedented. The officers are; Dr. J. A. Jones, president; S. J. Flanders, cashier; other directors are: John T. Roberts, B. U. Rountree, H. D. Brown, J. E. Coleman. The town has an active council, Mr. li. L. Rountree being mayor, and Messrs. J. L. Overlsreet, John T. Roberts, W. P. Rountree, J. K. Dan iels, J. D. Right, Geo. S. Bohler, coun cilmen; the last named being clerk. Rev. J. D. Matthews is the beloved pastor of the M. E. church, and Rev. A. P. Mobley, of the Baptist. Mr. OVerstreet is C. C. of Knights Mr. James L, Overstreet, 'Summit, Ga. Idlewlld on Thursday. Swimming and skating were the sports enjoyed, and a most delightful day earn passed. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Shewmake, Misses Hieks, Cran ston, Hopkins? Webb; Messrs. R. D. Hicks. C. C.'Hooks, Bynum, and T. T. Hooks. Miss Dorothy Hooks Is in Atlanta. Miss Mamie Snell of Columbus.

Schteff has returned to Dublin after a business trip to At lanta. of Pythias lodge, as well as of Sum mit district. The school, as well as the churches, have the same management as those of Graymont. These structures are pretty, and, as already noted commendabiy con trolled. Mr. Wade Rountree Is an extensive farmer, and having his home so nea by Summit is claimed as one of Its citizens. Elder W. H. Crouse is pastor here of the Primitive Baptist church. Property interests are well dis tributed at Summit, a healthy and suf fesed concern In public affairs, mak ing good citizens plentiful. There is no momentary congestion here, fos tering selfishness arid disregard of general good. The people welcome propositions having in view the good of the town. A new stove that is bound to forge to the front is 'that of Brown and Blackwell. These merchants propose such an enlargement of their busi ness as will enable them to handle larger quantities of grain, as well as supply provisions of all kinds. With a commodious hotel some day, tho same neighborly policy now fol lowed, and unfolding real estate values, the towm has a fine fu'ture. CASINO CLOSED ' OP LAS!

A free exhibition of moving pic ture shows will be given a't the Casl na Sunday evening, for those who visit the park.
