REV. JOSEPH J. JONES.
Rev. Joseph J. Jones, of Car
tersville, brother of Rev. Sam
Jones, arrived in Barnesville Mon
day and lias been preaching at |
tlie Baptist church at if o’clock
a. m. and at 8 p. in. wince his
arrival. He G a large man and
has a strong, impressive face,
bearing a striking resemblance to
his well known brother. He lias
been a minister for years and has
conducted religious services in
ail parts of the country. Mr. Jones
is an interesting speaker. Jb- lias
the faculty of keeping his audience
listening and while lie is quite
humorous, at times, In* makes you
feel that everything he says is to i
make plain and impressive the
truth as it taught in the Word.
Thus far in his work here he has j
been pleading earnestly and power
ful for right living. Ho says
plainly that he would not give a
Himp of his finger for a religion
that will not make a man or a
woman live right—in the home,
in business and everywhere. He
talks to fathers and mothers and
children, and to neighbors, citi
zens, church members and ungod
ly, the rich and the poor, and he
urges them to live right. His
message therefore is to all kinds
and conditions of men, and such
appeals as he is making are certain
to bear good fruit. We hope that
the visit of this sweet spirited and
Godly man will be a blessing to
the entire city ami section. Go
and hear him and lie will bless
your life.

Oigosts what you ea%
Mr. Rose to Lecture.
The speech of Mr. E. \Y. Rose
at the auditorium Friday evening
laßt week created no little inter
est and showed him to be a speak
er, who could,entertain and please
jan audience, it was particularly
impressive to many people pres
ent and when he concluded, he
was vigorously applauded.
Mr. Rose has prepared a lecture
entitled, “The Palace and Hovel,
|or, The Rich and Poor.” Jt, is
: filled with philosophy, wit, humor
and pathos, and contains many
illustrations which will entertain
land instruct, which Mr. Rose has
picked up in his travels through
out the state and country during
the past ten years. He lias sever
al invitations already to deliver
this lecture at different places and
he will no doubt accept them. As
he has many very humorous ex
periences to relate and as he has
good command of language and a
pleasant delivery he will doubt
less make a success from the very
start. He thinks a man who can
amuse people and make them
laugh is a blessing and he is right.
We wish him great success.

” Any fool can take a tiorse to water,
but it takes a wise man to make him
drink.” sa\s the proverb. The horse
eats when hungry and drinks when
thirsty. A man eats and drinks by the

allied organs of digestion and nutrition.
It strengthens the stomach, purifies the
blood, cures obstinate cough and heals
weak lungs. .

AN ARTIST OF NERVE. r
Remarkable Durlr.u and Clne In
un Alpine Accident.
The architect Viollet le I>uc was one
day on the Scbwarzenberg glacier at
a height of about 9,000 feet, accompa
nied by Baptiste, the guide, who
marched in front. The two men were
attached to each other by a rope, as is
usual in Alpine mountaineering.
The guide bad passed over a
crevasse, but when M. Viollet le Due
attempted to cross it he failed and fell
into the abyss. The guide tried to pull
him out. but instead he found himself
gradually descending.
The architect perceived that his com
panion, if he persisted in the attempt
to save him, would surely share his
fate, and he asked if Baptiste had a
family.
“A wife and children,” was the an
swer.
“Then,” said Viollet le Due quietly,
‘‘l shall cut the rope.”
lie did so and fell, but a block of
ice thirty feet lower down stopped liis
descent. When Baptiste saw this and
i that for a time the danger was lessen
ed, he went in search of help and re
turned with four stout peasants. Three
hours afterward Viollet le Due was ex
tricated.
in spite of liis perilous position the
ruling passion was strong with the art
ist, for, although he was almost cov
ered with icicles from the dripping wa
ter, he had contrived to make drawings
of the novel effects he was able to
perceive,
A Cosily Flnurr,
A Dresden paper relates an amusing
, anecdote. An old gentleman, a mem
ber of the landtag, lately slightly hurt
liis finger. Not troubling to go to his
doctor, he asked a medical colleague
what lie ought (o do and was told to
give liis linger a ‘‘soap bath.” On the
; following day he was much surprised
to receive from his friend a note for
"medical consultation; Hie amount, 30
marks.”
lie then spoke to another colleague,
a lawyer, complaining. His legal
friend said it was strange conduct;
but, should it come to a legal question,
lie would be obliged to pay and had
better do so at once. The day after
the old gentleman’s astonishment was
still greater on receiving from this
friend a note claiming 10 marks for
“legal advice.”
Quite angry, he appealed to the com
mission. a body which settles all per
sonal disputes of the members of the
landtag. What was his disgust when
the commission found that he had be
haved badly in refusing just demands
and condemned him to make amends
by paying the fine of a basket of cham
pagne! The finger, winch was mean
time perfectly healed, had cost him
dear.
Tlif Statue. of Parla.
No city in the world has so many
statues and monuments as Paris, and
every day secs anew project for anew
statue or bust. It is curious to note in
this connection that a large proportion
of the famous men honored in this way
came to their end by violence In some
form or other. Many of them died on
the scaffold, and a stroll thrbugh the
l’nris streets may give the philosopher
food for reflection on the mutability of
human judgment. Dan ton and La
voisier were guillotined, Jeanne d’Arc
and Etienne Detet were burned at the
stake, Henry IV. was murdered,
Etienne Marcel was also assassinated,
Marshal Ney was shot. Condoreet com
mitted suicide to escape the scaffold,
and these are only a tithe of those that
might be mentioned.
A lladly Turned Phraae.
“It is queer.” says a clergyman of
New York city, “what a liking young
students have for long words and Latin
quotations and what a dread possesses
them of appearing conventional. I once
knew a promising candidate who was
given charge of a funeral in the ab
sence of the pastor of the church. He
knew it was customary for the minis
ter to announce after the sermon that
those who wished should step up to
view the remains, but he thought this
was too hackneyed a phrase, and he
said instead, ‘The congregation will
now pass around the bier.’ ’’—New York
Tribune.
An Ritempore Pnn.
An oft quoted old English wit Is Dan
iel Purcell, who is worthy of Immortal
ity as a master of repartee. The best
of the reported witticisms of this for
gotten jester is as follows:
Purcell was desired one night in
company by a gentleman to make a
pun extempore.
“Upon what subject?” asked Daniel.
“The king." answered the other.
"The king, sir,” said he, “is no sub
ject.”
The Teeth.
One of the commonest causes of bad
teeth is that of taking very hot food.
If you take a cup of very hot tea or
coffee, the enamel on the teeth ex
pands, and breathing the cold air after
ward causes it to contract This alter
nate expansion and shrinking of the
enamel works havoc with it and when
it cracks, as it soon does, the inner
part of the tooth crumbles away in no
time.
Her Dearent Friend.
“If you were 1,” she said to her dear
est friend, "would you be married in
the spring or the fall?”
"If 1 were you.” was the unhesitating
reply, "and had actually secured a man.
1 would set the wedding for the earliest
date possible.”—Chicago Post
A Great Sacco.
Old Friend—Was your daughter’s
marriage a success?
Hostess—Oh. a great success. She’s
traveling in Europe on the alimony.—

owing to giving them Chamberlain’s
