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.
