This commencement closes the first year of Gordon Institute under the administration of Pres ident G. F. Oliphant. Tlie enroll ment for the year was 42‘.l and from all the evidence brought out by the exercises during the past few days the opinion has been formed tlyd the year’s work is wort hy of the hearty commenda tion of all the patrons and friends of the school. In spite of the fact that a change was made in the management one year ago, the school work has moved along without friction and progress has been the watchword in all depart ments. Success crowns the history of the past year, and the signs point toward Htill greater success in the coming years. Asa Christian gentleman, as a citizen absolutely above reproach, as an educator of the highest and truest type, and as the executive head of Gordon Institute, the News-Gazkttr most cordially commends President Oliphant and bespeaks for him the most active and earnest support of every citi zen of Barnesville. We should all co-operate with him and his faculty in every effort to make Gordon Institute not only the best but the biggest Institution of its kind in the South 1 Mr. Rose Successful As Lecturer. A short time ago, the Nbws- Gazettk spoke complimentary of Mr. E. W. Rose and stated that he would sodh deliver a lecture which he has been preparing. The notice received favorable comment and Mr. Rose was considerably encouraged. Mr. Rose delivered this lecture for the first time at Luthersville last Friday evening. We reproduce a short account of it from Satur day’s Atlanta Journal, as follows: “Mr. E. W. Rose, of Rarnesville, delivered his new lecture, “Palace and Cottage,” or “The Rich and the Poor,” here last night to a large and appreciative audience. For one and three-quarter hours he held their undivided attention and he elicited the most vigorous applause from start to finish. His lecture is full of philosophy, wit, humor and pathos. Luthersville has been favored in the past with some of the most popular lecturers in the state, but many unhesita tingly say that none of them have outstripped Mr. Rose in entertain ing an audience.” We also have a card from Dr. James W. Taylor, of that place, who is the General Grand High Priest of Royal Arch Masons of the United States, in which he Bays: “I have had the pleasure of listening to the lecture of Mr. JC. \V. Rose, “Palace and cottage” or the Rich and Poor,” and un hesitatingly say that in sentiment and diction it is high toned and entertaining. 1 commend him in his effort to elevate the standard of morals and manhood to all right thinking people.” Mr. C. F. McWilliams, a prom inent merchant of Luthersville, heard Mr. Rose and he says : “1 have heard Mr. Rose deliver his new lecture, “Palace and Cot tage” or “the Rich and the Poor.” It is amusing, entertaining and elevating and a splendid success. Mr. Rose will succeed.” It has always been our pleasure to try to encourage and help ft man who is trying to do sometning for himself and the world and hence we publish the above to commend Mr. Rose to the public and to let his home folks know how he is being received by the people else where. A Swell Lawn Party. One of the most delightful events of the season in the socsal world was the lawn party given by Miss Lucile and Mr. Hundley Black burn at their beautiful place on Forsyth street Friday evening last, in honor of Misses Marie and Inez Wilhoit, of Kentucky. The lawn was lighted by a myriad of pretty lanterns tastefully arranged and the groups of young people thronging the lawn made an im pressive picture. Every thing was done to make them have a good time. To say that it was a most enjoyable occasion, only in a small measure does it justice, and when the time came for depar ture they were loth to leave a place of so much pleasure. Delic ious refreshments in the way of cakes and creams were served. The invited guest were: Misses Lula Willingham, Nettie Lee Grace, Grace Woodward, Leila Collier, Grace Porch, Nell Smiley, Kate Smiley, Ceeile Monsalvatge, Viola Monsalvatge, Lillian Mon- salvatge, Carrie Elder, Nona Mc dowell, Lucy Floyd, Bessie B.

A large crowd saw the Thomas ton ball players go down in defeat at the hands of the locals Friday afternoon. The home team play ed snappy ball and never feared losing the game. The feature of the game was the heavy stick work of Harmon, of Barnesville, being at the bat. twice he knocked one home run and one three base hit. Flournoy was in the box for the home team and pitched good ball, allowing only three hits while t he Thomaston pitcher was an easy thing for the locals. In the latter part of the game some spectators made a little dis turbance and delayed the game and finally stopped it. Barnesville was in home with no men out, right here, Thomaston quit play ing. Between the ages of fifteen and forty-five, the time when woman hood begins and motherhood ends, it. is estimated that the aggregate term of woman’s suffering is ten years. Ten years out of thirty! One third of the best part of a woman’s life sacrificed! Think of the enormous loss of time! Rut time is not all that is lost. Those years of suffering steal the bloom from the cheeks, the brightness from the eyes, the fairness from the form. They write their record in many a crease and wrinkle. What a boon then to woman, is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It promotes perfect regularity, dries up debilitating drains, heals ulceration, cures female weakness, and establishes the delicate womanly organs in vigorous and permanent health. No other medicine can do for woman what is done by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. THE BARNESVILLE JUNE 19, 1902. J. H. STODDARFS DEBUT. I was five years old and was taken on to represent the child of Martin Haywood in Douglas Jerrold’s dra ma of “The Kent Day.” In the last scene, where Crumbs, played by my father, seizes Martin’s goods and chattels and is about to turn him , out of doors, I became fearfully ex cited, and when Martin, my stage father, began berating Crumbs, the real author of my being, I could stand it no longer. I ran from Mar tin and clung wildly to old Crumbs. I had been announced as “Master Stoddart, five years old, his first ap pearance on any stage,” so that my identity and my relationship to Crumbs were known to the public. The audience yelled with delight, and the conclusion of the act was, of course, completely upset. My debut, therefore, proved high ly injurious to my prospects, for some time afterward when other children were required Alexander would say to my father, “Stoddart, don’t bring ‘The Rent Day’ boy.”— J. If. Stoddart in Century Maga zine. A Russian Juggle of Words. You do not change a man’s state by calling bint another name. The liberation of the serfs was merely a juggling of words. The Russian peasant is not and never has been free. England paid its colonists millions and set their negro slaves free. Russia liberated the serfs by ordering them to pay to the state an amount equal to the capitaliza tion of the dues their landlords ex torted, plus the cost of collection. The contention of the peasants was that they were unable to pay the sums the landlords demanded, as being beyond the yield of the land occupied. The annual levies, are more than the dues used to be. The tenants got into arrears. The forty nine yearly payments which were to bring about the “redemption of the land” will not balance the outlay, and to all intents and purposes the payments are imperial taxes and permanent. —Outlook. Our Great Desert. The population of the Great American desert, as shown by the lute census, is about 1,500,000, or one and a half persons to the square mile. This was made possible by the building of railways across it. There are now 900 miles of railway in the region, including the part of the desert which lies in Mexico..[ The great desert must, however, remain almost entirely unproductive, for all the water that falls upon it and the mountains adjacent would, if gathered, be sufficient to sustain vegetation on but 5 per cent of its surface. The rainfall on twenty five acres is but enough to irrigate one. Epigrams of David Starr Jordan. You can’t fasten a five thousand dollar education upon a fifty cent boy. The football field is safer for young men than the ballroom. If an educated man is unfitted to take a practical hold on life, he is not worth educating or the edu cation is a misfit. The remedy for oppression is to have strong men who cannot be op pressed. The problem of life is not to make life easier, but to make men stronger.*—F. B. Millard in World’s Work. HOPELESS CASES . \ When the doctor leaves and says the case is hopeless, what remains to be done ? Nothing, if the doctor’s word is final.

Greene Cos., 111., writes: "My wife had a severe attack of pleurisy and lung trouble: the doctors gave her up to die. She commenced taking Dr Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and she began to improve from the first dole By the time she had taken eight *r ten bottles she was cured, and it was the cause of a large amount being sold here.

A recent writer says of Sarah Bernhardt: “It takes years off your age to see Sarah. The last time I. saw her she was about twenty, and now she is only sixteen. One thing I learned from her own lips, and that is that the cranks who make out that she owes her perpetual youth to very limited sleep are en tirely in the wrong. The theater over, she delights in two or three glasses of beer, and then for a solid nine hours of sleep, and pity help the servant who disturbs her.” Irish Emigration. In Ireland for years emigration has been, as it were, a fever. From the time they arrive at the age of consciousness boys and girls in that country are turning their hearts and their eyes to the lands beyond the seas, whither so many of their kith and kin have flown before them. “He’s going to America,” a phrase that should have the saddest of all meanings to them, is for the \oung people of Ireland only the expression of a fondly cherished hope,—Donahoe’s Magazine. /> RIJ-r TOBACCO SPIT L/VJIN I and SMOKE 1 Your Lifeaway!
