Lewis, one of the just ices of the Supreme Court of (ieorgia, will soon resign on account of his health Several eminent lawyers of the state have already been mention ed as his successor, but there are scores of others throughout the state who are just us well quali fied and just ns deserving as those already mentioned. One of these is Col. W. W. Lamb din, of Barnesville. This imme diate section of the state has never been thus honored, and none can question that as a lawyer and as u Christian gentleman Col. Lamb din would honor a season Gcojgia s Supreme Court. He is an alumnus of the State University and since his gradua tion he lias been a diligent student of law, having also had a large and valuable experience in its practice, which juip him admir ably for the position. Only a few days since one of the leaders of the Macon bar stated that Col. Lambdin was re guarded as one of the strongest and best equipped lawyers who practised before the United States court there. He has never sought or held any similar official position but neither had Judge Lewis and other Supreme court justices before they were elected to the position. The Nkws-Gazkttk would be glad to see Col. Lambdin selected as the successor of Judge Lewis. THE NOMINATION. The nomination <>n June sth. of the state ami county officers passed off quiet ly but deep inter est was taken in it by the people of <he entire state. In the gubernatorial race, Hon. J. M. Terrell carried about 80 counties with ID<*> votes, Col. J. H. Estill !15 counties with 88 votes and Hon. Dupont Guerry 22 coun ties with about 00 votes.

Sunday begins the 80th Gordon Institute Commencement and Presdeut Oliphant and his faculty have provided a programme that I will afford splendid entertainment Sto those who will attend the : exercises. It is a good time for the Newh- Gazkttk to tell the citizens of Barnesville what they already know —that Gordon Institute is an institution of which any people should be proud, and it is worth far more to the little city than we are accustomed, in these latter days, to credit it with. No one can tell how much it has done for the manhood and womanhood of Georgia, during the last half cen- Jtury; neither can any one say what would have become of Barnes j ville during this same time but for the success which has attended Gordon Institute. Itmaybethat during the past decade the people hero, as elsewhere have become so absorbed in things commercial, j that they have to a more or less ; j extent lost interest in the higher! and nobler life. As Barnesville j has grown in population and ex-! panded in business, this splendid j educational institution may have ; become somewhat crowded out of the affection of the people who should remain true and steadfast in their devotion to it. If so, j t here should be a sincere repen tance and a resolution made to stand faithfully by this grand old school for the future. Gordon Institute certainly deserves the staunchest support from every citizen of Barnesville and commu- nity. Its interests should be advanced, at the sacrifice of other things, if need be. Its prosperity and progress should enlist the sympathy and activity of every citizen all the time. • To this end, let the citizens, men, women and children, of Barnesville, attend commence ment exercises. This will create an interest and will encourage the faculty and pupils and accom plish good for tho school and for the little city. I*rof. Wright (Jot's to Dublin. The hosts of friends of Prof. \V.

An Enjoyable Ride. A number of young of people j went on a straw ride to Miss Hat- 1 i tie Jordan’s home in the suburbs of the city last Wednesday even ing. A jolly crowd of young peo ple was formed and all got in the band wagon, then proceeded tp ride around the city. After this ; left for Miss Jordan’s about nine o’clock. On arriving there they were hospitably entertained by her. Her home was thrown open and everything was done to make the party enjoy themselves, which they did to the fullest extent. After they had remained there sometime amusing themselves with various games, music and other things, they departed for the city. The ride back was eqtfally as pleasant as going. The occasion was one of great pleasure and fun to all who were participants in the affair. Those composing the happy party were: Mrs. W. C. Stafford, chaperon; Misses Dunlap and Dexter, of Florida; Miss Willis, of Alabama; Misses Priscilla Stroud, Annie Lambdin, Olive Williams, Lucile Blackburn, Alva Porch, Nettie !

He says he has had a good time and done some nice business. He says that Barnes ! ville is the prettiest little "city he has seen in all his travels, and that it will compare favorably [with anything on the map. Mr. Cochran has been cordially greeted by the people of the community. Thai Gold spoon. There are scmie men who seem to be favorites of fortune. They are indus trious, cheerful workers, full to over flowing of the energy of splendid health, and success seems fairly to drop into their hands. It is of such as these that . the less hardy and less success ' largely due to splendid health, the endowment of a healthy mother. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription gives the mother health to give her child. It cures nervousness, nausea and sleepless ness. It makes the body comfortable and the mind content. It gives physical vigor and muscular elasticity so that the baby’s advent is practically painless. " I will endeavor to tell you of the many benefits I hare derived from faking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription." writes Mrs. B E. Robert son. of Medicine Lodge. Barber Cos., Kans. "In the fall of ISOO I was expecting to become a mother ami suffered terribly with pains in the back of head ; in fact I ached all over. Suffered with awful lwariugdown pains; I was threat eued for weeks with mishap. A lady friend told me to use Dr Pierce's medicines. She had taken them and felt like anew woman. I began using the * Favorite Prescription ' and took four bottles before my liaby came and two after wards 1 suffered almost death with my other two children, but hardly readied that' I was sick when this baby was horn and she weighed twelve and one-quarter pounds. She is now eleven months old and has never known an hour's sickness; at present she weighs thirty seven pounds I owe it oil to Dr. P*-rev's Favorite Prescription." x ”Favorite Prescription” makes weak women strong, anti sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are the most desirable laxative for delicate women. Collier Co’s. Weekly News. Mr. Man...

The Knoxville Sentinel contains the following very sensible edito rial on newspapers, and how a certain class views them : “It is astonishing how the pub lic looks upon a newspaper as a free horse to be ridden to death. People will pay money for a band, for lights, janitor, go to a job printing office and buy thousands cf dodgers, pay boys to carry them around, pay performers in the en tertainment, if they are profes sionals, or pay some manager a large percentage of the receipts to get up the affair, pay all their bills, in fact for everything except for that which is most useful to them to-wit, newspaper advertis ing. And if the newspaper is un willing to devote more notice to entertainments than liberal news notices, it conies in for much abuse. And yet, why should not the newspaper charge for its ad vertising space just as the owner of the hall charges for the rent, the bill board man charges for the use of his boards, the lithograph ers charge for furnishing the posters, the job printing office ! charges for the dodgers and the outside parties charge for their services? LEADS THEM ALL. One Minute Cough Cure beats all i other medicine I ever tried for coughs, colds, croup aud throat and lung troubles,” says I>. Scott Currin of Loganton, l’a. One Minute Cough Cure is the only absolutely safe cough remedy which acts immediately. Mothers everywhere testify to the good it has done the little ones. Croup is so sudden in its attacks that the doctor often arrives too late. Itjyields at once to One Minute Cough Cure. Pleasant ito take. Children like it. Sure cure for grip, bronchitis, coughs. Jxo.
