the joy of being real help in the
service of the Master.

officers were elected by ballot, the Ia
dies showing an unusual interest ii
.. selecting from their number, some Of

STOCKHOLDERS MEET
Seek To Merge Citizens Bank
with Ocilla First National

The Citizens Bank of Ocilla was
closed Monday and is today in charge
OF the State Bank Examiner because
of a shortage of funds. The stock
holders of the bank went into session
at 2:3O yesterday afternoon in an eff
fort to find a solution for the difficult
ty. An officer of the bank stated that
all effort would be made to have the
First National Bank of Ocilla act as
receiver for the bank and liquidate
its assets or to merge the Citizens
bank with the First National.
The difficulties OF the Della insti-

fact that d. ]. Henderson, Jr., presi-
dent, borrowed more than the bank
was able to loan. His Obligations to
the bank total about $4,000, it is said.
The bank is capitalized at $4,000
and has deposits of about 100000.

derson, vice president, G. S. Wilcox,

ness headquarters to Fitzgerald.

MUST SHOW PROOFS
In POISON MYSTERY
Hearing on Bail Is Postponed
One Week
ORDER ISSUED TUESDAY
Effect of Petition is Same As
Writ of Habeas Corpus

MACON, Dec, S.-Judge John P.
Ross, former solicitor general of the
Macon circuit, took the initiative yes
terday in the Shepard case when, as
the attorney for Mrs. lone Irene Hen
ry and Ernest Hopson, he obtained
an order from Judge H. A. Mathews
requiring the state to show why she
should not be discharged from the
custody or released on bail, and that
the State face petitioner with her ac-
cusers and with the witnesses that
may testify against her.
Judge Mathews signed the order
yesterday just before leaving for his
home at Fort Valley The hearing is
set for next Tuesday, December IA,
The petition under which the order
was issued takes the form of an
amendment to the application for
bail, and in reality, is practically the
same as a writ of habeas corpus, al
though it is directed TO the Solicitor
General instead of to the Sheriff.
1t was known that Solicitor Gen
eral Garrett had been planning to
make his showing in court in opposi-
ton to the granting of bail, on affida-
Wits from witnesses whom he expects
to call later when the cases are placed
on trial. The solicitor general yester-
day made no comment on the new
feature Of the case, nor did he indi-
cate his next move.
No Move for Mrs. Cults
There were no developments yes
terday in the case of Mrs. Annie Cults

although lawyers were busy in con-
ference Eldridge Cuts. husband of
