Guerry, as well as the other candidates, has had a wot time for the past, few weeks. So far candidates have lmd little ■trouble to keep cool but it may be j different as the primary ap- j proaches. Guerry stands for principles, JCstill for business, Terrell for politics and Smith for convicts. Take your choice 1 Insurance rates have been in creased throughout the country about twenty-five per cent. Nearly all the companion lost money last year. There has been many a man who “cut oIT his nose to spite his face” Irat he has usually lived to regret jit. History is said to repeat it veif. Whatever we think of one anoth s*r, we should all work for Barnes ■ville. The little city will continue togrow and prosper if this plan is followed by its citizens. Tho grout Carnegie library has been opened in Atlanta to the public. It. is a handsome building and the instition is a most impor tant one. The influence of such a library will he felt throughout the state. i An exchange says that Queen Alexandria is to do away with bare ahoulders at daylight royal func tions and return to the high bodice and choker collar. We think it advisable for other “queens” to follow her example. President Roosevelt has decided to go to the Charleston exposition in spite of the Tillmans. He will be given a more royal reception by the people of that city than if the Tillman episode had not oc curred. Rev. A. J. Beck began hi cam paign for state school commission* ■ex in a speech at Newnan Tuesday. Hiß speech contained some very interesting comparisons and it is stated that he made quite a favor able impression on his audience. Opera House Rented. Mr. George M. Elder has rented Kennedy’s opera house, having already taken charge, and gone to work to secure some tine attrac tions for Barnesville. He is a sterling young man andjwo hope his enterprise will be rewarded with splendid success. The opera Rouse will at once be put in fine condition and made attractive and comfortable. Some good attract- have already been booked and the people here may now ex ct to have some good entertain ments. GUERRY’S QUESTIONS. Hon. Dupont Guerry has asked Hon. J. M. Terrell a number of questions concerning issues of the present campaign for governor, but the latter haß not undertaken ;to answer, for reasons which are evidently satisfactory to himself, i One of these questions refers to ‘the famous senatorial nomina tion held in Forsyth several years • ago, when Hon. R. L. Berner was nominated to represent this dis- I trict in the state senate. The [question asked Mr. Terrell by Mr. j Guerry is as follows: “When the convention that I nominated the Hon. Robert L. i Berner several years ago for the \ * senate was looked or adjourned | because the Bibb delegation de manded of Mr. Berner a promise j against prohibition, was not a tel-1 ! egram sent from Atlanta in the name of Frank M. Potts to said delegation or a member of it, say j ing in effect, ‘Oppose Berner no j longer; he is all right?’-And did you not write that telegram?” The question is one tliut creates ! considerable interest and there are many people who would like to see an answer to it, or at least have more light thrown upon the matter. If Mr. Terrell will not answer we would like to hear what Mr. Guerry has further to say about it. MILLIONAIRE ROUSS DEAD. Mr. Charles Broadway Roush, the blind New York millionaire, after whom hundreds of racket stores throughout the country were named, died Monday in New York City. He was afflicted with heart disease and dropsy. Mr. Roush wus horn in Maryland in 1881). He-was a brave Confederate soldier and immediately after the war went to New York City to en- I gage in business. He was a man of conviction and courage, for as ; soon as he opened up in the great metropolis he lmng lip in his store Ia picture of tho president of the confederacy, Hon. Jefferson Davis. He soon made money and became very rich. Since the war he has given large sums of money to con federate monuments throughout the south. He has been blind for a long time and offered large sums of money to have his sight restor ed. His signature to a check would have been honored for a very large amount, hut it was one of the most unusual signatures ever seen, and was always noticed and commented upon. Mr. Rouss’ memory will be hon ored throughout the south. CIGARETTE SMOKING INJURIOUS Several years ago the writer took up the fight in this commu nity against cigarette smoking among small boys. Several arti cles by different citizens were pub lished and we feel that good fol lowed the agitation of the ques- tion. There seems to be much less cigarette smoking everywhere than there was several years ago, and there ought to be for there is abun dant evidence to show that it is very injurious to the young. Sta tistics prove it conclusively. At the Northwestern Preparatory school in Chicago, Dr. Fisk is so firmly convinced that cigarette smoking among boys results in “marked mental deterioration” and is otherwise harmful that he “has asked any body in the school who cannot or will not give up cigarettes to leave, and further offers to refund all that has been paid in fees or tuition to such stn | dents.” “The venerable head of the pre paratory school,” says the Chi cago Record-Herald, "is not deal ing in generalisations or loose de nunciations. He has prepared stat istics covering a period of sev eral years, showing of the boys who smoke, only 2 per cent, are among the 26per cent, of students who stand highest in class schol arship. On the other hand, 67 per cent, of the smokers are among the 25 per cent, lowest in class scholarship. At the present t ime the boys who smoke appear t o be entirely incapable of passing examinations or keeping up in their studies. Two out of every nine boys in the school confess that they smoke cigarettes, and not one is in good standing in his classes.” With such evidence as this be fore them there is but one position for parents to take and that is to discourage and oppose the smok ing of cigarettes. THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1902. Young Lady Dies. Miss Pearl Burnett, daughter of : Mr. L. S. Burnett, died Tuesday j morning at the home of her parents 1 in this city, after a short illness. It is a very sad death. She was about seventeen years old and was a bright, promising young lady, who had many friends throughout the community. The sympathy of the entire community is extend ed the bereaved loved ones. The funeral services were held at the home yerterday at 10 o’clok a. m., conducted by Dr. Rolfe Hunt, after which the body was interred in Greenwood cemetery. Methodist Church. Rev. O. B. Robins P. E. will preach at the Methodist church Thursday night at 7:15 p. m. After the sermon he will hold the se cond quarterly conference for the present year. All the official mem bers of the church are earnestly requested to attend. Mr. 11. C. Milner qniite 111. We regret to chronicle the serious illness of Mr. B. C. Milner, at his home near the city. k He lias been complaining for some weeks but a few days ago he grew rapidly worse and telegrams were sent to all the immediate members of the family :to come at once to his bedside. Monday lie - was quite low but Tuesday he rallied and was much brighter yesterday his condition was considerably better, and he is resting quietly. Mr. Milner is one of the oldest and best citizen of Pike county and his name is honored wherever he is know. There are scores of people who will anxiously await favorable news from his condition. FOR THE COMPLEXION. The complexion always suffers from biliousness or constipation. Unless the bowels are kept open the impurities from the body appear in the form of ' unsightly eruptions. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers keep the liver and bowels in healthy condition and remove the cause of such troubles. C. E. Hooper. Albany, Ga., says: “I took DeWitt’s Little Early Risers for biliousness, they were just what I needed. I am feeling better now than in years.” Never gripe or distress. Safe thorough and gentle. The very best pills. Jno. H. Blackburn, Ga. Barnesville, L. Holmes, Milner, Ga. Meeting of the Alumni Association. The Alumni Association of Gor don Institute will meet in Mrs. A. M.
