BONDS! PROGRESS! PROSPERITY!
Now Watch Barnesville Grow.
NEVER before in the history of our little city has there been such harmony among our business men.
The election for bonds was practically unanimous. Rich and poor, white and black rallied to the
support of a measure which means progress and prosperity, and when a whole city puts its shoulder to a
wheel something is obliged to move. Onward and forward shall be the motto of the town and he who
can’t or won’t keep up with the procession should step down and out of the way.
With absolute confidence in the future prosperity of Barnesville, we solicit the patronage of the
public and promise the people the best service that brains and money can afford.
One month in advance of the new year our books are open for business to all prompt paying
customers. If you haven’t the money to buy what you want, we shall be glad to supply you on time. In
the meantime
Watch Barnesville Grow!

Dr.Miles’Heart Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.
“It has been five years sin.-e I was cured of
heart trouble by your Heart Cure aYut Nerv
ine, and I am just as sound as a dollar in
that ornan todav. For several years l had
been suffering with mv heart. Breathing
had become short and difficult at times,
short, sharp pains about the heart, sometimes
accompanied with flattering would make
me feel faint and languid. The least excite
ment or mental worrv would almost unnerve
me. 1 felt that the trouble was growing
worse all the time, and after trying many
remedies prescribed by physicians without
obtaining relief. I was induced to give your
remedies a trial. 1 was relieved the second
dav, and after taking three or four bottles all
symptoms weie removed and never
snowed signs of returning."— Rkv. Gko. W.
Rikacopk, Chincoteague, Va.
There are many svmptomsof heart disease,
which so closely resemble those of more com
mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
of heart trouble the stomach, kidneys, liveror
lungs become affected. Again the symptoms
may be those of weakened nerves, as tired
leefing, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is
easily excitable and apt to worry without
cause. If you have the least suspicion that
vour heart is weak study your symptoms and
begin the use of Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure, the
sre at heart and blood tonic, without a' day’s
elay.
All druggists sell and guarantee flrst bot
