W 1i e n e v e r the opportunity
presents itself put in a good word
for Barneaville.
Give us a rest please, of all the
talk about “Poor Richard’s Alma
nac” and Governor Candler.
Millionaires and their wives con
tinue to ride in automobiles and
get killed. This is a privilege of
the rich we are thankful we don’t
enjoy.
Memorial Services were held in
many churches last Sunday on the
anniversary of the death of,the
lamented president, \V illigni Mc-
Kinley.
This is the season of st reet fairs
and carnivals —all of them emi
nently hightonod and moral.
Deliver us please from such
morals.
Editor Henry Watterson’s com
ments on the “four hundred” are
very searching and no doubt he
tolls many tilings that are only
too true.
The Sparta Ishmaelite proposes
Senator Bacon for president in
1904. Without a doubt lie is one
of the South’s strongest represen
tatives today.
“The sliuli of Persia is a re
former. He has but 05 wives,’
Hay Editor Finch, “whereas Ins
father had 1,9110.” Someone should
reform the reformer.
New enterprises lire constantly
looking this way and every true
citizen of Barnesville should en
courage thorn to come and thereby
help build up the town.
A North Georgia man ate fifty
roasting ears at one sitting recently
on a wager. The funeral was largely
at tended, but t he coroner’s verdict
was that it was an unwarranted
waste of a short corn crop. —.lack-
son Argus.
All Georgians extend sympathy
to Major Charles 11. Smith, bet
ter known as ‘‘Bill Arp,” on ac
count of his recent illness. No
man in Georgia, probably, knows
more about the state’s history than
he and he has a warm place in the
hearts of the people.
Thi Federal prison and the
daily papers of Atlanta, must be
in partnership, the prison agreeing
to liberate a prisoner at stated
intervals in order that the papers
may have a thorough-bred sensa
tion when business is a little dull
in t he news line.
A newspaper advertisement has
resulted in the reunion of a brother
and sister who had been generated
for ton years. It seems a bit indel
icate to urge our wares upon the
public, bu t contemporaneous
events prove their value. Time
and again newspaper advertising
has been shown to be the right
method of reaching the American
people—Savannah News.
Throe things are necessary in an
advertisement in order to make it
“puli.” The first essential istliat
it shall contain some line or lines
that shall arrest the attention;
secondly, it must have matter in
it that will hold the attention until
all of the facts have been read and
digested; thirdly, it must give
assurance of something that will
be to the advantage of him who
reads. These three facts should
be kept constantly in mind by the
writers of an advertisement. —

AN APPEAL.
We beg to call attention to the
fact that numbers are due us
something on their subscription.
The label on your paper shows
the date when your subscription
expired. We dislike to have to
remind our subscribers of this
fact, but we need the money and
it is past due. It is just as press
ing an obligation as you can con
tract, and should be paid prompt
ly. It takes money to run our
business just the same as it does
yours.
WATTERSON ON SOCIETY.
Hon. Henry Watterson, the
famous Kentucky editor, is pitch
ing into New York society and no
doubt what he says will have a
good effect there and elsewhere.
If what he says is true, his expos
ure will warn the society leaders
of other sections and maybe save
the country from many disgrace
ful scenes. Here is part of wlmt
Mr. Watterson says:
“The term ‘smart set’ is adopt
ed by a bad society to save itself
from a more odious description.
The distinguished trait of the
‘smart set’ is its moral abandon.
“Its women are equally deprav
ed with the men. They known
all the dirt the men know. They
talk freely with the men of things
forbidden the decentest virtues;
that passing vis-a-vis or at table
i which was once excluded as un
clean by gentlemen from the smok
ing room.
“The women of this ‘smart set’
no longer pretend to recognize
virtue even as a feminine accom
plishment. Innocence is a badge
of delinquency, a sign of the crude
and raw, a deformity, which, if
j tolerated at all, must carry some
promise of amendment. The only
thing needful is to know it all.
“In London and Paris, at Monte
Carlo in the winter, at Trouville
Aix in the summer, they make
life one unending debauch ; their
only literary provender, when they
read at all, the screeds of D’An
nunzio and Bourget: their Mecca
the roulette table and the race
course; their heaven the modern
yacht, with its luxury and isola
tion. The ocean tells no tales, and,
as the ‘smart set’ knows no law,
when in extremity it can go to sea.
“Truly, we have come to a beau
tiful pass if the simpering John
nies and the tough girls that make
Sherry’s and Delmonico’s ‘hum’;
that irradiate the corridors of the
Waldorf-Astoria with the exhala
tions of their unclean lives and
t houghts, emulating the demimon
daines of the third empire, are to be
accepted, even by inference, as the
'best society’ while the good and
virtuous of the land, even though
quite able to pay their way at
home and abroad, must be releg
ated to the ‘middle class,’ or dis
missed as simple burgeoise.”
At The Congregational Church.
Rev. Rolfe Hunt will preach at
the Congregational church next
Sunday.
Everybody is invited to come
out to hear him. No doubt he will
have a good congregation as he is
an excellent preacher and has
many friends in the city.
Itnrncsvillc Itoys Succeed.
In the election of the Jackson
Riiles held at that place recently,
Dr. R. A. Franklin was elected
Captain. He is a son of Mr. J.
R. Franklin of this city and was
formerly a cadet in Gordon Insti
tute. Dr. Franklin is making
quite a success as a dentist at
Jackson and is building up a good
business. It is gratifying to his
many friends here to learn of his
doing so well.
Some Fine Corn.
Mr. J. W. Stafford, senior mem
ber of the large mercantile tirm
bearing his name, exhibited hero
last week specimen ears of corn
from eighteen acres on one of his
farms near the city, which he
thinks will make him 1,000
bushels. The ears of corn are large
and well developed and it is said
will shell a bushel to 00 ears on
an average. 'This corn was pro
duced on a fine piece of bottom
land. Of course this is an excep
tional yield, the corn and cotton
crops througout. this section being
somewhat below the average this
year.

prominent young men in Chatta
nooga and will bring his bride to

Both of the above young people
are known in Barnesville and
there is much interest felt in the
announcement by the people here.

of Mrs. Floyd Murphey.
LINGERING SUMMER COLDS.
Don’t let a cold run at this season.
Summer colds are the hardest kind to
cure and if neglected may linger along
for months. A long siege like tips will
pull down the strongest constitution.

the attack at once. Safe, sure, acts at
once. Cures coughs, colds, croup, bron
chitis, all throat and lung troubles.
The children like it.

Death of an Estimable Daily.
Avery sad death was that which
occured near Yatesville last Fri
day when Mrs. R. M. Jackson de
parted this life for a better land.
She had many friends in this vi
cinity and was throughly loved
and respected by all who knew
her. She was a true Christian
woman and her life was consis
tent, though her death was sad.
Her remains were interred Satur
day. A host of relatives and
friends mourn her loss.

Cam pinceting Scrapes.
Sunday was a good day for
eampmeetings and fights among
the negroes.
A negro by the name of Willis
Fuller was shot in the head and
killed near The Rock Sunday, in
a game of cards. His slayer has
not yet been captured. Another
negro was shot at Goggans and
badly wounded also.
“Shut your mymm, opart your mouth
mnd moo what luck will bring you.”
The mother smiles at the childish
game, and doesn’t realize that it is a
game she as a woman has perhaps
played for a great many years.
Many a woman is weak and sick,
nervous and discouraged. She suffers
from headache, backache and other ills.
She wants to be well, but all she does is
tto shut her eyes

" My disease was displacement amt ulceration

of his medicines. Before I began taking your

A Young Newsboy.
On the corner of Tenth and Arch
streets, in the heart of the city of
Philadelphia, is seen “Little Joe,”
“KITTLE JOE” AND HIS STOKE.
as he is called, tending a newsstand.
On an opposite corner is seen his
mother, who has charge of the main
stand. Joe is six years of age, quick
and active and always ready with
his customers’ favorite newspapers.
He is up bright and early to tend to
business. He consented to pose for
our picture only when it would not
interfere with his business. How
ever, Joe believes that all work and
no play makes a dull boy, and at
certain hours he can be seen riding
his tricycle or romping around with
his companions in the neighbor
hood. —Philadelphia Press.
