Bnterwt nt the Post Office t Barnesvill.-, On., nh second class mail mutter. SEPTEMBER 1902. JUSTICE LEWIS RESIGNS. Justice Hal T. Lewis Ims sent his resignation as associate justice of the supeme court of Georgia to Gov. Candler and it is presumed the resignation will he accepted promptly. It seems to be a question whether the governor will make any appointment to fill the vacnacy. An opinion prevails that a justice will he elected at the reg ular October election. Judge Lewis was first appointed by Gov. W. Y. Atkinson and has made a good judge. Col. W. W. Lambdin,of Ilarnes ville, has been mentioned as a can didate for the vacancy. Ife is recognized as a lawyer eminently qualified for the posit ion and would fully sustain himself on Georgia’s supreme bench. If he would enter the race, lie would receive a strong hacking from various portions of! the state. There seems t<> be one serious obstacle in the wuy of Col. Lamb din’s candidacy, and that is that his services are almost indispeu {jil‘!k here at this time. Tic is so intimately connected with the af fairsof Barnesville that his remov al would be a serious blow to the city and community. Possibly no man has done so much for the community as lie has during the jtusr year, and while we would like to see him honored by beingplaced on the Supreme bench, Ihirnes ville would much rather help him get there some other time than at the present. THE FALL OF THE YEAR. This is September. The crisp morning breeze has already quick ened the step and rejuvenated the spirit. The whin of the gin and the stir in business have encour aged the business man to greater efforts for the prosperity of his firm. The bright faces and happy laugh of the school children are seen and heard all about us, driv ing away the despondency of mind und body. Nature seems to be making a supreme effort to draw t he world and all its creatures into harmony with itself. As one finds himself responsive to these things, he is mode to praise tlie maker of teh universe for the wise arrangement of the season and the countless blessings which result therefrom. How high above the wisdom of man is His wisdom and how bountifully has He provided for all of His creation. Let every one enter into the spirit of tin' season and remember to be garteful to his Creator and helpful as far ns possible to all the creations of His hand.

A DARING BURGLARY OCCURRED IN THE HEART OF THE CITY MONDAY NIGHT. An exceedingly bold burglary j occurred in the heart of this city Monday night, when the store of : the Bankston Hardware Cos. was robbed of a Smith & Wesson, 38 calibre, nickel-plated pistol. This daring feat was accom plished about 10:80o’clock. One of the large plate glass show win dows, £ of an inch thick, was broken with a rock the size of a man’s hand, probably thrown by the burglar from the edge of the side-walk. It was thrown with great force and a hole near the size of a man’s head was broken in the window, and glass was scattered all over the space inside jthe enclosure. The crash of the breaking glass j was heard by police officers Cars well and Chapman and by others who were on the streets. They investigated and found the broken ! window. On account of the ab sence of lights, it was impossible to have seen the robber, and for that reason he probably chose the occasion of the crime. The burglar must, have had some unusual motive for the crime, for he only took one pistol, when there were several more, besides a lot of other hardware in the window. The guilty party lias not yet been captured, although diligent efforts have been made to appre hend the burglar. A Correct Verdict. A Florida paper says that a Georgia coroner’s jury delivered the following verdict on the death of a merchant who died suddenly after having failed in business: “We, the jury, find from the doctor’s statement that the de ceased came to lub death from heart failure, super-induced by business failure, which was caused by failure to advertise, which was the result of failure to see far enough ahead.” Advertising is tin* life of busi ness, as many successful business men of Barnesville w"?l 1 testify, and hence the verdict was correct.

It has been in use for over thirty years, during which t'me many million bottles have been sold and used.
