and Personals
(By A. D.)
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.

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.

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

values, the towm has a fine fu'ture.
