THE HOME GOLD CURE
An Ingenious Treatment by Which
Drunkards are being Cured Daily
in Spite of Themselves.
Ho Noxious Doses. No Weakening of
the Nerves. A Pleasant and Posi
tive Cure for the Liquor Habit.
It is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness is a disease and
not weakness. A body filled with
poison, and nerves completely shatter
ed by periodical or constant use of in
toxicating liquors, requires an antidote
capable of neutralizing and eradicating
this poison, and destroying the craving
for intoxicants. Sufferers may now cure
t hemselves at home without publicity or
loss of time from business by t his won
derful “IIOME GOLD CUKE” which
has been perfected after many vears of
close study and treatment of inebriates.
The faithful use according to directions
of this wonderful discovery is positive
ly guaranteed to cure the most obsti
nate ease, no matter how hard a drink
er. Our records show the marvelous
transformation of thousands of Drunk
ards into sober, industrious and upright
men.
WIVES CUKE YOUR HUSBANDS!
CHILDREN CURE YOUR FATHERS!
This remedy is in no sense a nostrum
but is a specific for this disease only,
and is so skillfully devised and prepar
ed that it is thoroughly soluble and
pleasant to the taste, so that it can be
given in a cup of tea or coffee without
the knowledge of the person taking it.
Thousands of Drunkards have cured
themselves with this priceless remedy,
and as many more have been cured and
made temperate men by having the
•*C UR E” administered by loving
friends and relatives without their
knowlodge in coffee or tea, and believe
today that they discontinued drinking
of their own free will. DO NOT WAIT.
Do not be deluded by apparent and
misleading “improvement.” Drive out
the disease at once and for all time.
The “ OME GOLD CURE” is sold at
the extremely low price of One Dollar,
thus placing within reach of everybody
a treatment more effectual than others
costing $25 to SSO. Full directions ac
company each package. Special advice
by skilled physicians when requested
without extra charge. Stmt prepaid to
any part of the world on receipt of One
Dollar. Address Dept. H 20, EDWIN

LIFSEY CONFIRMED
Will Soon be Postmaster
of Barnesville.
CONTEST NOW ENDED
Confirmation Unanimously Agreed
Upon by the Senate Last
Thursday.
Mr. B. A. Lifsey has been con
firmed hh postmaster, of Barnes
ville, and will be in charge of the
office in a short time. His com
mission will have to be made out
and he will have to make bond.
These matters will doubtless lie at
tended to in a few days.
Mr. Jos. Old, the Washington
correspondent of the Atlunta Con
stitution, sent the following to
his paper Thursday:
“The senate unanimously con
firmed B. A. Lifsey to he post
master at Barnesville. This ends
the interesting contest over that
office, in which Mr. Lifsey and
Mr. Harris, the present postmas
ter, have been the most prominent
figures. There were charges against
both of the leading applicants for
the office, and in view of this situ
ation Judge Bartlett made an ef
fort to secure the appointment of
W. M. Howard, a leading demo
crat. An investigation by the
1 postmaster general of the charges
made by Harris against Lifsey sat
isfied that official that there was
absolutely nothing in them and
! Lifsey was appointed. Afterwards
I there was talk of an effort to pre
vent his confirmation by the Sen
ate, but as there was no good
grounds for opposition his muni
tion was confirmed today.”

SEMI-CENTENNIAL
ANNIVERSARY.
CORDON INSTITUTE ALUMNI ASSO
CIATION PREPARINC FOR BIC
OCCASION.
A number of the local alumna*
of Gordon Institute met in one of
the Institute rooms lust Friday
afternoon, to discuss and adopt
plans for the re-union, to be held
in June.
At this meeting it was decided to
make the semi-centennial anniver
sary of the founding of Gordon
Institute a distinctive feature of
this year's program.
The literary exercises, to beheld
in t he Auditorium on the evening
of June the 10th, will include ad
dresses by some of the distinguish
ed sons and daughters of this
famous school. That these will
reflect honor upon their loved
i alma mater, it is needless to say.
After the conclusion of the exer
j cises, the local and visiting alum
jni will repair to the large dining
\ hall of one of the hotels, where an
! elegant banquet will be in waiting
for them.
An elaborate menu will be serv
ed, hut the most charming feature
of this part of the evening’s pro
gram, will be the toasts by the
members of the faculty and of the
association.
The local members of the Alumni
Association have entered enthusi
astically into the preparation for
the coming re-union and celebra
tion, and are particularly anxious
that all the non-resident alumni
be present on this occasion.
This promises to be by far the
! most important and enjoyable
' meeting yet held by the members
! of the Alumni Association.
A complete program will he
published as soon as can be
announced.
Mrs. Janies A. Hickson.
‘‘Tolivo in hearts we leave behind is not to
die.”
On the morning of Feb. 20, the
golden sunlight of happiness was
dimmed for all time in a pleasant
hospitable country home in Hous
ton county when the gentle spirit
of Mrs Nettie Hickson took its
flight to a better land. For thir
ty-two years she luul been the pre
siding genius of that hearthstone
and the center of influences
goodness, usefulness and helpful
ness that radiated as far and wide
as her large circle of acquaintanc
es extended.
She was born in Upson county
Nov 12, 1812, removed to Barnes
ville in early childhood and spent
the first twenty-seven years of her
life in and near this place. On
Feb. 22, 1869, she was married to
Mr. James A. Hickson, of Houston
county, and it was from the home
which he carried her as a bride
that her body was borne to its
last resting place in the beautiful
Evergreen cemetery at Perry just
one day before the anniversary of
her marriage.
She was a woman of strong
character, broad intelligence, gen
tle manners, and the kindest, ten
derest heart. A life-long Metho
dist, she lived her religion in as
much as, Christ-like, “she went
about doing good.”
The only test by which a noble
life can be tried is the work ac
complished by it in this world,
and by that we estimate its worth.
The numbers of people of all ages
and both sexes who went through
the storm and cold of those bleak
Febuary days to look upon the
calm, still face and to tell in brok
en voices how she had nursed
them in sickness, cheered them in
affliction and helped them in need,
could give no higher testimony of
the beauty and fullness of her
life. She was called the “Mother
of the Community,” and in many
households her loss is felt scarcely
less keenly than by her only child
—herself a life long sufferer, —
who hows in patient submission
to this crushing blow.
It has been said that the pen
which dures to trace the life of a
man or woman should lie shaped
from a feather that has fallen
from an angel’s wing. This fal
tering pen but craves the privi
lege of a faint tribute to the love
and tenderness which enriched our
childhood and has been our stay
and comfort amid the sorrows and
suffering of maturer years. When
the travellers in the caravans that
stretch in long lines across the
great desert of Africa, worn and
exhausted beneath the burning
sun are almost ready to stop and
and let their bodies mark the
pathway for others to follow, there
come down the line a joyful cry
from someone far ahead who
catches a glimpse of an oasis in
the distance; hope is renewed and
feeble footsteps press forward to
safety. So when this precious
sister as she neared the “Sweet
Fields of and saw before
the waving green of the Tree of
Life called back, “I am so glad!
I am 60 glad!” her words come to
us who are weary* with the journey*
as a blessed inspiration to press on
to that Happy Land where we shall
see her again.

DOOLY COUNTY TEACHERS.
They Decide to Hold Institute
This Year at Barnesville.
Voted Down a Motion to Meet at
Arabi—Also a notion to Meet at
Albany in April—Will Meet at
Barnesville in July.
The teachers of Dooly county
at their meeting in Vienna last
Saturday voted to hold their Ins
titute work at Barnesville this
year. They will meet there in
July at the time that city holds
its Chautauqua and Institute.
The law forces the teachers to
attend some Institution for one
week in each y r ear and the teach
ers usually* decide by a majority
vote where they will attend.
Some of the teachers at Vienna
Saturday favored holding a pri
jvate county Institute at Arabi
| this year, but that proposition was
i voted down ; others favored going
Ito Albany in April, as they did
last year, but the contention that
the schools of the county were
somewhat demoralized when sus
pended for this purpose, prevail
ed, and the proposition to meet
at Albany was defeated.
The motion to meet at Barnes
ville was finally carried, and the
teachers of Dooly county will,
not only hold their Institute in
that city in July, but, at the same
time, will have the pleasure of at
tending the usual good Chautau
qua exercises held there each
year.—Cordele Sentinel.

Several Contracts Let.
County Commissioners W. M.
Hartley and E. C. Akin were in
Barnesville Saturday for the pur
pose of letting several contracts
for repairing bridges damaged by
the recent heavy rains. Mr. Hart
ley cried them off to the lowest
bidder, and contracts were award
ed as follows:
Repairing bridge/ Cauthern’s
creek, T. E. Whittle, $14.00.
Repairing bridge over creek,
near Mr. Morgan Howard’s, J. C.
Slade, $17.00.
Repairing bridge over Potato
creek, on Barnesville and Zebulon
road, T. E. Whittle, $19.00.
Repairing bridge over stream
near Liberty Hill, T. E. Whittle,
$10.50.
Getting
Thin
is all right, if you are too fat;
and all wrong, if too thin already.
Fat, enough for your habit, is
healthy; a little more, or less, is
no great harm. Too fat, consult
a doctor; too thin, persistently
thin, no matter what cause, take
Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil.
There are many causes of get
ting too thin; they all come
under these two heads: over
work and under-digestion.
Stop over-work, if you can;
fcut, whether you can or not,
take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil, to balance yourself
with your work. You can’t live
on it—true—but, by it, you
can. There’s a limit, however;
you’ll pav for it
Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil is the readiest cure for
“can’t eat,” unless it comes of
your doing no work--you can’t
long be well and strong, without
some sort of activity.
The genuine has jw
