plants. This kind is rather an aristocratic
sort of seed —just a bit better than the other
kinds —no more expensive.

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1903.
A RECITAL.
KEV. K. H. MORRIS TO APPKAR
FOR Tili; KNIGHTS OF PY
THIAS ON FRIDAY EVEN
ING FEB VARY GTH.
Rev. R. H. Morris, pastor of the
Presbyterian clmrch, will give a re
cital, in this city, probably at the
auditorium, on Friday evening,
Febuary 6th. Under the auspices
of the K. of P. Lodge of Barnes
ville it is expected that a large
crowd will be in attendance as a
genuine treat is in store for all
who may attend. Rev. Mr. Mor
ris is a speaker of ability. His
selections for the occasion will be
from Shakespeare and other well
known authors and will embrace
the humorous, pathetic and dra
matic. It is known to some that
Mr. Morris is exceedingly fine
along these lines and this recital
will afford an opportunity for real
enjoyment. There will also be a
musical program which will add
to the pleasure of the occasion.
A full program will be announc
ed next week.
Married Sunday.
Sunday morning at 10 o’clock
at the home of the bride’s brother,
Mr. Wright Ingram, Miss Fannie
Ingram and Mr. Edgar Gordy
were united in marriage, Rev. M.
M. Walraven, performing the cere
mony.
The wedding was a very quite
affair, only a small number of
relatives and friends being pres
ent to witness the ceremony, which
was very pretty.
This young couple are quite well
known here and have a lot of
friends and admirers who wish for
them a life of happiness and suc
cess.
“Leopard Spots” to be
Dramatized.
Rev. Tom Dixon’s great book,
“The Leopard Spots” is to be
dramatized and it is hoped that it
can be presented in Barnesville
sometime, where Mr. Dixon is so
very popular, having often lectur
ed before the Barnesville Chau
tauqua. The Atlanta News last
Saturday contains the following
about Mr. Dixon’s present efforts
in getting his story ready for pre
sention on the stage:
Thomas Dixon, the literary lion
of the hour, author of “The Leop
ard’s Spots,” tells the representa
tive of the News today that he has
arranged for the dramatization of
“The Leopard’s Spots,” so that
within the year there will be eight
or ten companies playing it indif
ferent parts of the country, mak
ing a complete offsett to the per
nicious sectionalism sown by the
eight or ten companies playing
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” throughout
the country.
The author is going to superin
tend the dramatization himself,
collaboring with the playwright
in every oetail, who authorizes
the News to say that the drama
will be stronger than the novel,
containing some of the matter
that was left out of the novel.
Most interesting of all, Mr.
Dixon authorizes the News to say
that the play will be presented
first of all in Atlanta, as the dis
tinguished author regards this city
as the capital of southern senti
ment and culture, and wishes the
dramatized version of the great
book to make its debut in this
famous and historic city, which
suffered most from the War, and
has emerged most brilliantly
from the ashes and desolation of
strife.
If his plans carry, Mr. Dixon
hopes to make the first night of
“The Leopard’s Spots” an early
event of October or November
season at the Grand.
Wilkins Convicted.
The man who created such ex
citement here last Tuesday night
and who was captured last Wed
nesday morning and placed in
jail here to await trial, was given
u hearing before Judge Lester last
Friday morning for carrying con
cealed weapons. He was convict
ed and given a.sentence of twelve
months at hard labor.
He was evidently a bad charac
ter of some kind from the number
of instruments found on his per
son. The name given by him was
F. P. Wilkins, of Boliver, Teun.
He was held for a number of
days in hopes that if he was want
ed elsewhere he could be turned
over for some greater offense.
Another man was arrested at
Yatesville and brought here last
Wednesday afternoon but he prov
ed to be the wrong person. Thq
other crook who was seen with
Wilkins the night of the trouble
has never been captured.
A Wholesale House.
Mr. J. T. Baird, Jr. of Bloom
ingdale, Fla., will arrive in Bar
nesville in a few weeks and to
gether with Mr. W. R. Baird, his
brother, will open up a wholesale
grain house. They will crrry wheat,
oats, corn, flour, etc., by the
wholesale and expect to do a big
business in this line.
Mr. J. T. Baird has been engag
ed in the turpentine business in
Florida for sometime past and
has been very successful.
Mr. W. R. Baird is well known
to the people having been in
business here for a number of
years.
This firm will make head
quarters at the warehouse for the
present where they will no doubt
have a fine patronage. They will
receive their stuff in oar load lots
and can make close prices to the
people.
I O. E. S.
The Council af the Eastern St ar
will hold its meeting Friday night,
January 80, 1908 at 7 p. m. All
Master Masons in good standing
with all, gratified to receive this
beautiful degree, are cordially in
vited to be present. A large meet
ing is anticipated. Let this new
year begin with corresponding
intentions to make the year in
structive and helpful to all par
ticipants and thus maintain the
teaching of this growing order.
A Complimentary Notice.
“Rev. R. H. Morris, pastor,
proaehed two excellent sermons at
the Presbyterian church Sunday.
Mr. Morris is proving an able and
acceptable preacher and pastor.
Already there have been several
accessions to the church, and his
pastorate is just beginning. With
out reference to denomination,
the people of Forsyth wish Mr.
Morris all success in his noble
work.”
The above from the Monroe Ad
vertiser of last week shows what
the people of that place think of
Rev. Morris, who is pastor of the
Presbyterian church here also,
and the copliment will be appre
ciated by his many friends in Bar
nesville.
I>ookout For Had Corn.
Mr. S. M. Howard lost one of
his finest mules this week on ac
count of feeding damaged corn, of
which there is probably a good
deal in the country. Mr. Howard
thinks it would be well for the
farmers toexamine the corn before
feeding it to stock, as they may
thus save themselves heavy loss.
The mule which he lost was a
very fine and valuable one.

The Cheap Store of Barnesville.
Headquarters for Good Goods at
Lower Prices.
Why? Because we do nearly all of our work, reducing
expenses of clerk’s hire to almost nothing, and we buy goods
right, therefore, we can sell you goods for less money than
other merchants whose expenses are heavy. Our motto is:
GOOD GOODS, LOW PRICES AND HONEST DEALINGS.
Perhaps you don’t know how easy it is to put us to the test.
All we ask is a trial, and if the goods and prices don’t convince
you of the truthfulness of our assertion, then good goods and
small profits avail nothing. Come and see us, get our prices
and be convinced. Don’t pass judgment before calling and
pricing our goods, and don’t be deceived by others telling you
there is nothing in what we say. We are not advertising just
to advertise, but we do it that the trading public may be fully
posted, and buy goods right and at the right place and
SAVE MONEY.
WE ARE NOW RECEIVING OUR
