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

THE REGITAL
A SUCCESS.
THK AVEATHKK BAD BUT ATTEN
DANCE WAS GOOD. THK
PROGRAM SPLENDID.
The recital Friday evening at
the opera house by Rev. Robert
Hugh Morris, under the auspices
of the Knights of Pythias, was an
enjoyable entertainment. The
weather was quite disagreeable,
but there was a good crowd pre
sent. In a few appropriate words,
Dr. J. A. Corry introduced Rev.
Mr. Morris, who was the princi
pal attraction for the evening.
The entertainment was a genuine
success and there has been a gen
eral desire to have it repeated
sometime soon, when it could be
more largely attended. All of
the numbers were enjoyed, but
those of a dramatic character
were particularly fine. Mr. Mor
ris certainly possesses ability of a
high order and his efforts will be
appreciated by any critical audi
ence. All who attended wei*e
highly pleased, and are under
obligation to the Knights of Pyth
ias for the pleasure of the occa
sion.
A vocal solo by Mrs. Mary Bow
den Smith was a pleasant feature
of the entertainment.
A nice little sum was realized
from the entertainment, which
goes into the K. of P. treasury.
Will Begin Business.
On the 16th of this month the
firm of Collier & Ogletree will
commence operations in the build
ing now occupied by Mr. W. K.
Wilkinson, on which they have
secured a lease.
They will put in a first class
stock of dry goods, and notions,
in fact everything that should de
kept in an up-to-date store of this
kind.
Both of these gentlemen are
known to the trading public that
comes to Barnesville and we will
predict success for them from
the start. Read their advertise
ment in this issue and all during
the year.
The Immune Rank of
Vaccinated Brotherhood.
A lodge of the above secret order
was formed in this city about two
weeks since and a number of the
brethren are undergoing the de
grees necessary to become mem
bers of the noble society.
The initiation fee is paid by
the city and the service perform
ed by the physicians of the city,
all of whom are now members.
It takes about three weeks to finish
the course of initiation. None
have entirely finished the term,
although some think they see their
finish.
The vaccinated arm is “a thing
of beauty and a joy forever,”
and woe be unto the person who
shall be so careless as to lay ruth
less hands upon an afflicted mem
ber for vials of wrath shall be
poured out upon his or her head,
as the case may be.
A meeting of the order will be
called in a few days, as soon as all
the members are able to get out
again and officers will be elected,
by-laws chosen and so on. Dr.
J. A. Corry has been spoken of as
chief vaccinator, Mr. D. L. An
derson, secretary and treasurer
and Mr. Pierce Hammond as
main arm (or) bearer.
The lodge is one of the most
progressive and flourishing in this
city and new members are being
added every day.
The motto of the club is:
“We never sleep.”
CADETS GET
COMMISSION.
Gov. J. M. Terrell has issued
commissions to the officers of the
Gordon Institute Cadets, in accor
dance with the provisions of the
new military law. The commissions
issued bo the cadets were the first
to be issued by Gov. Terrell, and
they are very highly appreciated
by these young men. It
is appropriate that Gordon Insti
tute, thg best school in Georgia,
should be the first to recieve this
honor. ?
The officers receiving commis
sions are Captains Henry Coving
ton, Charles Kelley and A. H.
Reppard. First Lieutenants Cliff
Curry, Gteorge Babb, Bayard Tay
lor and Julian Arnold. Second
Lieutenants Terrell Covington and
Edward Howard.
Their hosts of friends are ex
tending congratulations.

Mr. Otis A. Murphy
Won the Prize.
Thursday last Mr. Otis A. Mur
phy received a handsome gold
watch as the prize for the agent
writing the most business for the
Maryland Life Insurance Com
pany for the three months ending
Dec. 81th 1902.
The contest was entered into
by a largo number of the agents
of this Company in about six
states, and it speaks well for Mr.
Murphy’s ability and popularity
as a hustling insurance writer.
He eairies one of the largest in
surance pisinesses in this section
of the w
The watch is a very beautiful
solid gold one with his monogram
engraved upon the case, and he is
to be congratulated on being in
possession of such a valuable
article of jewelry.
Complimented Friends
Mrs. S. P. Neely entertained
informerly a small number of the
young people of the city last Tues
day night at a “Flinch” party at
her home on Zebulon street.
The occasion was an exceedingly
enjoyable one for those who at
tended and the young people
amused themselves at “flinch”
for several hours, the games
being interspersed with delightful
music by Mrs Neely. The affair
was voted an unusually pleasant
one by the happy crowd.
Blanton Institnte.
WILL GO TO ZEBULON, AS LIB
ERAL DONATIONS AHE
OFFERED.
The Wm. Blanton Institute,
which was to have been located at
Mt Zion camp grounds, in this
county, according to the original
plans, will be carried to Zebulon
instead. The citizens of that
progressive little town are exceed
ingly desirous to secure it and are
taking active steps in that direc
tion, in which they have the sym
pathy of a number of the board of
directors. They have held a
meeting, at which it was decided
to offer the Jeff Davis institute
building, originally costing $2,000,
with its three or four acres of
ground, and SISOO in money. Of
this, SBOO was raised at the meet
ing and S7OO yesterday morning,
showing that those who have the
movement in hand mean busi
ness and are backed up by the
solid people.

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, wo 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.

Spring; Stock,
which has been selected with much care, and we think we can
truthfully say that it is equal to any first-class stock. So

attention shown you by Misses Musie Hudson and Bertie Jack
son, and ourselves.
