Bntere<l Bt the Pont Office at Barm-nville, Ob., as Heoond Hbkh mull matter. NOVEMBER 20,1902. We lire awfully sorry but our Thanksgiving turkey died the other day—it was an old hen anyway. Isn’t it funny why a man will refuse to take his town paper, yet he will borrow one from a friend and read it. Roosevelt and Bryan are both gunning for big game, namely: Roosevelt for bear and Bryan for David B. Hill. You should ask yourself daily; what have I done for the "good of my town. If your have done noth ing it counts as a day misspent. The President’s I tear hunting reminds us of his trust hunting. He would like to get a shot at one, but it wont come within range of his gun. President Roosevelt lias been shooting at the liar promiscu ously for the last week, but up to the present lie hasn’t bagged a single Bruin. Don’t suppose the negroes would object to having Tom Dixon for the Devil, since he declares, “Were I the devil I would bar the negro from hell.” Forsyth has been struck by a speculative fever. It is said that thousands have been lost there in in cotton futures within the last few weeks. The special edition of the Rome Tribune which appeared last week was a splendid affair. “Twentieth Century Rome,” was put forth in a manner calculated to attract attention to t hat city. John S. Bilby, of Mitman, Mo., is said to lie tho largest individual | land owner in the United States. Ho owns about 180,000 acres, 10- 1 cated in seven states. Among other valuable holdings he hasßs,- i 000 acres in Missouri and 15,000 S acres in Arkansas. The successful advertiser is the one who advertises constantly. “Keep everlastingly at it brings success.” The man who comes before the people occasionally is not the merchant who gets the best of the trade. Advertise con tinually and liberally to insure good success in business. A clever woman in New Jersey has solved the servant girl prob lem. She fell dead in love with a man on account of his excellent cooking, and promptly married him. And now all the old bache lors in the country are learning to cook, says editor, Triplett of the Thomasville Times. Editor tilessner of the Griffin News evidently thinks the negro will occupy the same station above that he does on earth, for he says: “Rev, Lilly is not a Lily White and says there will be room for the negroes in heaven. Of course there will; who would wait on the angels, if there were no good ne groes there? But they will mostly be ante-bellum darkies.” There are more men in the pres ent House of representatives who give farming as their occupations than any other vocation. Accord ing to the statistics collected by Messenger Penn, there are sixty members who are farmers, fifty three lawyers, twenty merchants, fifteen doctors aud ten editors. The remainder of the total mem bership is divided between capi talists aud mechanics.--Cedartown Standard. And yet there are no editors in the penitentiary in Georgia, IMMENSE ENGINES PUT ON CENTRAL ROAD. TWO MONSTER ENGINES WILL BE I*IT ON CENTRAL BOAI) IN A FEW DAYS FOB FAST PASSENGER SERVICE. The Central road received yester day two immense passenger en gines right from Rogers Locomo tives Works in Patterson, N. J. These iron monsters were in charge of expert engineers, Rogers and Page sent by the manufacturers. The engines were hauled by a freight train to Macon. The steam leviathans were sent to Savannah last night,where they ill be completed, put into com mission, and attached to an ele gant train of cars to be run from that city to Atlanta. This train will make its first run in a few l days and possibly have a run of fifty miles an hour. Asa matter of fact, these locomotive master dons can annihilate space easily jat the rate of 100 miles every six ty minutes, if neccessary. They are officially known as Nos. ! 1600 and 1001. They are provid ed with powerful electrical head | lights, the rays of which would j blind any one looking directly at j them at night. These Goliahs are I modern as improved mechanism off ix' present day can make them. Their six driving wheels measure 00 in diameter, and their cylin ders are 10 by 26. They rise 15 feet from the rails, and carry 0 tons of coal, and 6,600 gallons of wafer. Each engine weighs 2001- 000 pounds. This mass of steel and iron will make sport of both space and time. The numbers 1600and 1601 have two sisters in the shops of Rogers’ works that will soon join them. This quartett will be the largest passenger engines in the South, and exact reproductions of those used by the New York Central road. These mechanical Samp sons will pass through Macon daily carrying passengers north and south at a speed calculated to make them gasp for breath. They will also handle mail. The increased volume of busi ness on the Central made it nec cessary to place these tremendous locomotives in service. Last night five double headers, carry ing 250 freight cars, left Macon for various points over the Cen tral. The yards were 1 so blocked yesterday that it was found nec cessary to take 50 cars to the “Y” in order to get them a, resting place. This speaks well for Ma con, and is evidence of an im mence business. —Macon Tele graph. These monsters will pass through Barnesville also, and no doubt some of the natives will become frightened at their first appear ance. 1 EXCELLENT ATTRACTION. Miss Ev* li. Dunning, Noted Header and Impersonator, to Appear Here Very Soon. On Monday evening, Nov. 24th, the people of Bartlesville will have ail opportunity of witnessing some thing good. Miss Eva L. Dunning, of Colum bus, 0., will give ail entertain ment in the Opera House. She comes as an impersonator of “Mrs. Wiggs’ Cabbage Patch,” and it promises to be interesting. The press speaks very highly of this lady as a reader and imper sonator. “She is one of the best known elocutionists, and herabil ity is of a high order,” says the Landmark, of Norfork, Ya. The admission will be very rea sonable —only 26, 85 and 50 eta, and should Lie liberally patron ized by the people of this city. You may expect to have a good entertainment, and you can rest assured that you will get your moneys worth. The consensus of opinion favors newspaper advertising above all other forms. In no other way can the merchant reach the people he wants to patronize his store so cheaply or so effectively. In the respectable newspaper there is nothing to offend good taste. The newspaper gets into the homes of the people, where all the members of the family read the advertise ments. The paper is purchased by the head of the family, and the advertisements are a part of the purchase. The newspaper adver tisement has a value that no other j form of advertising possesses.—Ex THE BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE THURSDAIrf NOVEMBER 20, 1902 THE COUNCIL’S PROCEEDINGS.

We do not wish to do Col Rog ers or Mr. Huguley an injustice, but it is not true that the crimi nal cases against them have been settled and dismissed. Nor is it true that the-* ‘ basis of settlement is that they pay to the bank the amount each were due at the time of the failure.” All that can be stated as a fact is that a statement is proposed and it is hoped that a settlement will be reached, but as yet there is nothing certain and definite acc implished.
