IT SPEAKS WELL.
The showing for Barnesville
which the merchants and business
men are making through Iheir
advertisments from time to time
in the Xkws-Gazkttk is certain to
result in great good, not only to
the advertisers, but to the entire
city and community. This hust
ling spirit for business denotes
enterprise and is the best possible
evidence of prosperity. Dead men
and dead business institutions do
not advertise. Every issue of the
Nbwb-Gazkttk, as it goes on its
weekly mission of hope and good
cheer throughout Middle Georgia,
bids for the patronage of the peo
ple and it contains inducements
which are offered by nearly every
merchant in this city.
This paper is often spoken of as
the livest and most enterprising
country weekly in Georgia and it
has this reputation because it en
joys such a liberal patronage from
the finest and most enterprising
merchants in the state. Look
through its pages, examine the
fine advertisments on every page,
come to Barnesville and mingle
with her busy and hopeful people,
and you will not only save money
but you will be made cheerful and
happy.
All who desire to celebrate the
Chaistmas holidays should do so
in a proper manner and we feel
assured that there will l>e no
drunkenness and disorderliness
during the next week in this city.
The legislature adjourned last
Saturday after an interesting ses
sion. A number of important
and unimportant bills were passed
during this session and several
were carried over until next term.
Marconi continues to make suc
cessful experiments in wireless
telegraphy. He is without doubt
a wonderful man and his marvel
ous discovery will some day work
a great change in the alliairs of
men,
Christmas will be here in just
one week, and then the small boy
with his tin horn will be in his
glory. The legislature should
have passed a bill prohibiting the
tvinlrimr nf anih imnltUHcnts of

torture.

A good deal is being said about
Hon. Thomas E. Watson again
going into politics. Our advice to
him is to stick to litera
ture. He can gain a firmer hold on
the people through his books and
work greater reforms than by
going back into politics.
The singular suit in Chicago is
for the possession of a lizard which
the complainant values at S2OO.
This lizard had been in the man's
stomach for ten years, but was
coughed up last week. The lizard
crawled off and was captured by
another man who refused to sur
render it, hence the suit. We
would call it a good riddance.

Car Ixuul ot Mules.
Mr. Robert Mitchell has re
ceived another carload of fine
Kentucky mules which have been
placed on sale, and are attracting
much attention. They are very
fine specimenes of mules, and the
people will do well to call and
look at them.
ABOUT GIVING PRES€NTS-
Christmas has come to be a
[time when every body feels called
j upon to give every body else a
present. It is a custom which
brightens this old world and cheers
many a weary traveler on his way.
To feel that you are kindly re
membered has a tendency to
! strengthen you in your weakness
and to fill you with new zeal for
the battles of life. The custom
should lie and will be perpetuated
through all time. However, it is
an easy matter to carry it to an
extreme, and this should be guard
ed against. We can do wrong in
our efforts to do good. Our cir
cumstances should be kept well
in mind, and we should not give
a $lO present when one worth $1
is all that our means will justify.
We should not to make a false im
pression by our lavish gifts and
at the same time be unjust to our
creditors, in all our givings we
should be governed by common
sense, as to the selection of ap
propriate articles and as to their
cost. Let the rich give lavishly
if they choose and while the poor,
and there are many of us, should
observe the custom during the
coming holiday season, let us do
so modestly.
A reporter for an exchange pub
lished in one of the largest Amer
ican cities quoted a money lender
the other day as follows:
“The universal custom of giv
ing Christmas presents, often in
discriminately, is a severe tax on
a great many people, and, strange
as it may seem, it drives a lot of
them to the pawn shops. I don’t
mean by that that people pawn
the presents they al
though some of them do, after
Christmas —but that’s another
story. lam speaking now of the
period just before Christmas, ’when
every one is buying presents, and
using every effort to get the mon
ey with which to do it. It is by
no means an unusual thing for a
man to pawn his very clothes in
order that he may spend the mon
ey in presents for other people.
Lots of fellows will hook their
watches in order to buy some trin
ket for a girl.”
Let us remember these things,
act upon them and we will be the
better for it. -
Christmas Tree For the Public.
A Christmas entertainment for
the public, will lie given at the
Auditorium of Gordon Institute,
Wednesday night next week, which
is Christmas eve. Everybody is
cordially invited to attend and
participate in the affair. There
will he a tree for displaying the
presents, and it will doubtless be
quite a uleasaut event, While it
will not be strictly a Sunday school
entertainment, the parents of the
children in all the Sunday schools
are cordialy invited to participate.
The schools will not furnish pres
ents, but anything sent in by any
individuals will be put outlie tree
and given out. The hour for the
distribution of presents has been
fixed at 8 o ’clock.
"Have bv some surgeon Shylock
on thy charge to stop his wounds
lest lie do bleed to death.” People
can bleed to death. The loss of
blood weakens the body. It must
follow that gain of blood gives the
body strength. The strengthening
effect of l)r. Pierce's Golden Medi
cal Discovery is in large part due
to its action on the blood-making
glands and the increased supply ot
pure, rich blood it produces. It is
only when the blood is impoverish
ed and impure that diseases find
a soil in which to root. The “Dis
covery” purifies the blood and
makes it antagonistic to diseases.
When the body is emaciated, the
lungs are weak, and there is obsti
nate lingering cough. “Golden
Medical Discovery” puts the body
ou a fighting footing against dis
ease, and so increases the vitality
l that- disease is thrown oil', and
physical health perfectly and per
manently restored. It has cured
thousands who were hopeless and
helpless, and who had tried all
other means of cure without avail.
Twenty-one one-cent stamps to
cover expenses of mailing only will
obtain a copy of Dr. Pierce’s Com
mon Sense Medical Adviser, 1008
pages, in paper cover. Sendthirty
i one stamps if cloth binding is pre
pared. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce,

Alderman Murphey introduced

was unanimously adopted:
An ordinance to regulate the sale of
fresh meats within the corporate limits
of Barnesville, Ga., and for other pur
poses.
Section 1. Be it ordained by the
Mayor and Council of the city of Bar
nesviile, Ga., and it is hereby ordained

The tnan who puts on stilts does not in
crease his actual stature by the breadth of
a hair. He feels taller while he’s ou the
stilts, and when he’s off them he feels
shorter than he ever
felt. Stimulants are
Wflf the stilts of the stom
ach. They make a
man feel better for the
j , time being, but he
/ \ feels a great deal worse

"I took two bottles ot
Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery for stomach
trouble.” writes Clarence
Carnes. Esq., Tayloratown
Loudoun Cos., Va. "It did
'' me so much good that I
<r 1 didn't take any more. I
Jr' can eat most anything
now. 1 am so well pleased
with it I hardly know how to thank you for your
kind information. I tried a whole lot ot things
before 1 wrote to you. A gentleman told me ol
your medicine, and how it cured his wife.
"Thought I would try a bottle of it. Am now
clad that I did. for 1 do not know what I should
have done had it not been for Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery -
The sole motive for substitution is to
permit the dealer to make the little more
profit paid by the sale of less meritorious
medicines. He gains; You lose. There
fore accept no substitute for "Golden
Medical Discovery.”

You’d think we had turned over our whole nlace to
Santa Claus buyers—such an array of Christmas
novelties. Lots and lots of dollies from dolldom,
tea sets, swinging hammocks, clothes wringers, etc;
in fact, everything to please the children. If the
child needs be amused—we have the amusers; but,
if they need shoes (why buy one day pleasures) we’ve
the “Blue Steel.”

Needs a Muffler

ing more appreciated by a man than a
MUFFLER, or a tie.

There’s no use giving a book, when he
needs underwear. We have all kinds from
25c per garment to $3.00 per suit.
Never mind what wind is outside—inside
our overcoats and mufflers it’s all right.
All kinds of men means all kinds of over
coats and mufflers —and that describes our
stock.
Mufflers from 75c to $1.50.
Overcoats from $7.00 to $12.50.
