varnished cold facts.
We have the greatest stock of

up the pouular song is “go to

THE TWENTIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1903.
THE GREAT
PASSION PLAY.
CONTRACT CLOSED FOR THE
WONDERFUL PRODUCTION AT
BARN ESVILLiE CHAUTAUQUA.
A proposition has been accepted
by the chautauqua managers for
the presentation of Thomas A.
Edison’s wonderful world famous
Bavarian Passion Play for chau
tauqua on Friday evening, June
19th.
For years efforts have been made
to secure this attraction and it is
believed that this alone will be
worth to all chautauqua patrons
more than the total cost of the
weeks program. This whole pro
duction is presented with moving
pictures and colored views, con
sisting of hundreds of scenes
which pass before you in perfect
life motion.
There are one hundred beauti
fully colored transparencies of
photographs from Oberammer
grau, its people and their sacred
drama, all made from the last pre
sentation in Oberammergrau in
1900. The people who present
the Passion Play at Chautauqua
witnessed the grand presentation
in Oberammergrau in 1900 and
there made the views to be given.
It will probably be a treat of a
life time and everybody in Barnes
ville, and in Middle Georgia, for
that matter, should be present
to see this production of the most
wonderful drama man ever wit
nessed. And this is only one of
the many other good attractions
to be seen and heard at the great
Chautauqua to be held in Barnes
ville this year, June 12th. and
20th.
Close at 6 o’clock.
We do not presume to dictate
to the merchants of the town,
but it seems to us that it would
be a move in the right direction if
they would close their stores at 6
o’clock p. m. everyday. There is
scarcely any business done after
that hour that could not be very
easily transacted before. The rest
thus given to the clerks would be
greatly appreciated by them and
it is their just and hard earned
right. Every other city and town
of any consequence in the state
has taken this step and surely
Barnesville will not be a laggard
in this respect. Let the merchants
get together and agree to close at
this hour each day.
Bought Market.
Messrs. P. F. Matthews & Son.
have bought out the market Mr.
Chas. Stock on Market street
They will continue to run it in the
present location and thus will have
two places of business, their old
stand and the new one. They
will endeavor to better supply the
wants of the public and will keep
everything that ought to he found
in an up-to-date market.
Mr. Stocks will devote his time
to the insurance business and will
open up an office at early date.
Made Grand High Priest.
At the meeting of the grand
chapter of the Royal Arch Masons
in Macon last week Mr. A. M.
Lambdin was elevated from depu
ty grand high priest to the office
of grand high priest, and took the
oath of office iast Thursday morn
ing. This is quite an important
post in chapter and one of the
highest offices which the Masons
bestow. It is a distinguished
(honor and being conferred upon
one of our fellow citizens shows
how high he stands among the
Masons and in what esteem he is
i held by them.
Rummage Sale.
The rummage sale conducted by
the ladies of the Baptist church
will continue next Saturday, May
9, at the same place, Armory
building on Market street. The
ladies will replenish the stock
which was not entirely disposed of
for want of time only. The sales
surpassed all expectations and the
check worth $45 dollars in clean
cash convinced the doubting
Thomases that fortuue favors the
brave and the Lord does too. The
voluntary clerks claim it to be
the easiest money ever made hon
estly.
Friday afternoon send every
thing to the rummage sale that you
can spare. This is no call for
sacrifices but if you are inclined
to send things you cannot well
spare don’t quench a good im
pulse. If you are inclined to send
nothing search the Scriptures to
see if you have the faith without
works, its a cheap article.

Sunday School Picnic.
The Sunday School picnic will
be held on Friday of next week,
May 15th. It will be held at
Trice’s spring, near Potato creek,
and the livery stables of the city
will take the children for 10 cents
round trip. Every arrangement
will be made to make the picnic
a big success. All the Sunday
Schools of Barnesville will join in
and it ought to be a very pleasant
day.
