morrow,
The first meeting of creditors in the
bankruptcy proceedings of G. A. Scott,
of Americus, will be held in Macon to.
morrow morning when it will be called
in the United States court. Quite a
bunch of Americus creditors will be
there, either in person or represented
by attorneys, and the proceedings will,
doubtless, be quite interesting. Scott's
Indebtedness to the local merchants
mounts high into the hundreds of dol
lars, probably approaching the 81, 500
mark, and goodly lot of these pur-
chases consisted OF holiday goods
bought just before Christmas and a
very short time prior to the filing of
voluntary bankruptcy proceedings.
Many of these costly goods are now in
Scott's house here, unused, but were
included by United States Marshal Ri.
ley in the assets. Mr., Scott, under the
law, is required to attend THIS meeting
of creditors for examination by said
creditors.
