Adams, of Savannah, a justice of the Supreme court to fill the short term made vacant by th<‘ recent resignation of Judge Hal T. Lewis. He first appointed Judge George F. Gober, who de clined the position, when Judge Adams was appointed and he ac cepted. He will serve until his successor for the unexpired time of Judge Lewis is elected at the regular October election. There are several candidates for the place, Judge R. B. Russell, Judge Jo 1) n S. Candler and Judge \V. M. Hammond having already announced their candi dacy to the people of Georgia. At present, Judge Candler seems to he in the lead. He is charged with having been campaigning for the past few years to get on the supreme bench. Judge Hammond charges him with having held court all over Georgia, with ibis end it view, and while he is nol considered an exceptionally able lawyer or judge, he seems to Stand in with the ‘men who control’ and it is predicted oy J l '® Hiemls t}in rj he will win easily. •pull for Bartlesville and you will be benefitted by ho doing. President Roosevelt refused to visit Atlanta. Who would have thought it? With her tiled side walks Bartles ville has the appearance of an up to-date little city. ————i— ■■■■■■■ I II IW With the coming of the fall business has taken on new life and everybody feels better. Spalding is having a considera ble “stow” in her politics, occa sioned by the revision of the jury box recently. Some poetical genius could dis tingush hintself by writing a poem on the “Passing of the Pan- 1 luma" as the fall approaches. * New residences are going up and | business houses are being built and renovated—a sign of prosper ity. The Atlanta News is one of the cleanest papers in the State and gives promise of being one of the leading ones also. The cotton crop is short but th* 1 people will liiul that they can get the can get the very high est price bv bringing it to Barnes ville to sell. Atlanta is soon to have another elephant on her hands. Its name is to be Valentine, Clio or 800, it hasn't been decided yet. She has one on her hands already in the person of the Union depot. A Kansas man weighing 3W pounds sang “Hock Me to Sleep Mother” so touchingly at a church social all the women cried. Prob ably a pathetic expression of sympathy for the mother, says the Nashville Banner. A fanner whose daughter is visit ing at Nuraganset received a let ter stating she was engaged with ping-pong and his comment on it was: “She can enjoy herself all she wants to, but, I'm gol darned if she’s going to marry any Chinese into this family.” A GOOD START. Mayor Smith and the new coun cil have made a good start, and the News-gazette wishes them abundant success and prosperity for the next twelve months. The citizens of Barnesville as a whole will give them cordial co-operation and support in all efforts to ad vance the peace and prosperity of the community. The officers elect ed by the council and the com mittees appointed by Mayor Smith seem to be very wise selections and we are satisfied that every man of them will always be found doing his duty. The election of Mr. E. R. Cars well as chief marshall came as a surprise to many citizens, but a very pleasant surprise. For years he has served the city most accept ably as night marshall and his promotion is a just reward for faithful service rendered every in habitant of the city. Mr. J. R. Chapman, who becomes night mar shall, will make a splended offi cial. Mr. \V. H. Willis, the retiring chief, has made a good officer and in going hack to private life again, he carries with him the respect and good will of his fellow citi zens. In fact, he is one of the remarkable citizens of the com munity. His record as a soldier and as an officer bears testimony to the fact that he has been one of the bravest men who ever lived and the wounds which he now wears in his body show that he risked his life when duty made de mand on him for Service. He has often filled the place of marshall and has done much good work for Barnesville. The Mayor and Council and all the city officials should receive the active support of the entire citizen ship. The season of the oyster ha arrived and it is said that the crop is good this year. Rev. Sam Small is receiving praise from some people for ad mitting that he was drunk. We don’t see that its anything to be proud of after all. HOll. S. B. Adams, attorney for the city of Savannah, has been appointed by Governor Candler to succeed Associate Justice Hal Lewis, resigned, on the supreme bench. He has accepted the ap pointment. Columbus has bright prospects for the future and her citizens are learning the valuable lesson of pulling together for the common good. There should be no division when the good of the city is at stake.—Knquirer Sun. The peo ple of Barnesville are learning the same lesson and are putting it into practice. L "v 4 Vigorous HH BY THE USE OF Dr. PIERCE’S MEDICAL (j DISCOVERY. |j[ "I suffered for six years with con stipation and indigestion, during which time I employed several phy siciaus. hut they could not reach my case,” writes Sir O. Popplewell, of Eureka Springs, Carroll Cos., Ark. "I felt that there was no help for me, could not retain food on my stomach ; had vertigo and would fail helpless to the floor. Two years ago 1 com menced taking I)r. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery arid little ‘ Pellets,’ and improved from the start. After taking twelve hot ties of the * Disco% r ery ’ I was able to do light work, and have been improving ever since. I am now in good health for one of my age— 6o years. I owe it all to Doctor Pierce's medicines." THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11,1902. THE COUNCIL’S PROCEEDINGS.
