The Chautauqua Association is
securing some fine attractions for
the coming session and new con
tracts are being closed every day.
The Passion Play which has been
booked is one worth the total
price of a Chautauqua season
ticket.
In Hon. H. H. Cabaniss and
Editor Tom Toy less Atlanta loses

Much is being said about Grover

"Democratic party today. Whether
he be the next nominee of the

in it who is more capable or
worthy of tilling the presidential
chair than Grover Cleveland.
Don’t let the matter of a roller
mill for Barnesville drop. The!
-opening for a thing of this kind
is exceedingly good at this time.
A mill like this would prove a
profitable investment for some
one. It would not cost a great
deal testablish a plant and it
would return handsome dividends
to the investors.
Talk up the Commoneement-
Chautauqua. Write to your friends
about it and tell the people you

years. It is to everybody interest
in the town to make the occasion

simists that Barnesville is the
biggest town between Macon and
Atlanta.
Speaking of what a newspaper
does for a community, United
States Senator David Davis, of
Illinois, made an address that
remains ever green in the memo
ries of newspaper men, says the
Marengo (la.) Democrat, lb*said:
“Every year every local paper
gives from 500 to f),0(H) free lines
for the benefit of the community
in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The
editor iu proportion to his means
does more for his town than any
other man, and in all fairness,
man with man, he ought to be
supported—not because you hap
pen to like him or admire his
writing, but because a local paper
is the best investment a commu
nity can make. It may not be
crowned with great thoughts, but
financially it is of more benefit
than both preacher and teacher.
Today editors do more for less
pay than any men on earth. Pat*

“Good Old
Summer Time Suit.”

Single and double breasted sacks. 7.50 to 12.50.
Not a bit too early. You’ll be needing it in a few
days. Just as good as our regular suits, they’ve got
the same style and character lines, made by the same
reliable maker —except it’s a warm weather garment.
You’ve Noticed the
“Hang” of our Clothes,
it’s remarkable how like
the tailor-made they are,
except price. If we’ve
not already sold you a
spring suit in fancy mix
tures or black, come in
and select you one today.
You may buy a suit for
less money elsewhere,
but —
You’ll wish you had
hoys to buy clothing for
when you see this man
ish-boyish line we’ve got.
It’s brimful of the new
“kinks”—broad should
ers, short roll collars,
just like dad’s, but not
too much.
You know clothing bought of us in itself is a guar
antee that it’s the best. Good clothes—that’s our
stroug point. We are ready to sustain this point at
any time with our reputation.

sizes, 30 to 46, 25 to 50c.
We’ve a line of summer

some people call bargaius,

our store. Plenty other
things just as good at as
low price.
You iniiv buy a tailor-made shirt at one liftv or two fifty—
then look into our window and you'll see yourself short fifty
cents on the deal. It’s no better made —fits no better. Then

thing that’s good in shoes

A Visit to Vega.
Some Advice lo the Young of the
Comm unity.
Nestling down between two
mountains lies a beautiful valley;
a scene of active human industry
that greets the first bright peep of
early dawn; decked with homes of
contentment and prosperity a
monument to energy and perse
verance; this is the story briefly
told, the picture hastily drawn
of Vega and her surroundings.
I recently had the pleasure of
visiting the Vega High School.
There I found the best teachers and
the best disciplined pupils- I ever
saw' in any school. As I cast my
eye over the great crowd I fcould
not see a face that showed any
thing but intelligence and beauty.
I could read in their countenances
their beautiful traits of character
and I could feel in my heart that
the destiny of our county could
safely he left with such citizens
as these dear children w'ill make
and as my eyes rested on this
great scene I could riot keep back
the dew’ drops from them. Neither
could 1 suppress the inmost emo
tion of my heart which in itself
said God bless them and protect
them from all harm.
I can say of the boys and girls
of Vega that in all my experience
I never met a more honorable lot
than they are. But I must say to
them that this is pre-eminently
the age of the young man and the
young ladv. Great corporations,
banks, railroads, newspapers, pul
pits, the bar and nearly every
every business and profession are
crying for young blood. It may
be sad but it is a time that in
most places today age is at a dis
count. How great therefore is the
responsibility as w r ell as the op
portunity of youth not only in
young men but young ladies. Now
all of you make up your minds to
do something and do it quickly,
persistently and honorably. Every
road to success runs through a
,ti'ighteous purpose. Don’t, wait
for something to turn up but go
out and turn it up. The world ad
mires a hustler. There is no
promise in God’s word to either a
lazy man or a coward and human
ity despises both. Now move
onward and upward; put your
trust in God and your faith will
he well founded. Never be afraid
to speak the truth and do it fear
lessly. A Friend.
Mr. Joseph Pominville, of Stillwater.
Minn., after having spent over $2,000
with the best doctors for a stomach
trouble, without relief, was advised by
his druggist. Mr, Alex Richard, to try
a box of Chamberlain’s Stomach and
Liver Tablets. He did so, and is a
well man today. If troubled with in
digestion. bad taste in the mouth, lack
of appetite or constipation, give these
tablets a trial, and you are certain to
be more than pleased with the result.
For sale at 25 ceuts per box by. J. H
Blackburn.

With us,
Millinery is our hobby,
and we are scrupulously careful to keep it up to the stand
ard of high art style. We get new shipments by almost
every express. We are now receiving a big assortment of
everything new in
Fine White Hats for
Commencement and Chautauqua.
They have only to be seen to he appreciated. Our styles
are so correct and new and the taste of our head milliner is
so artistic, that it has come to be a by-word in the store
that a hat never comes back, not even one time to be
changed or exchanged.
We Are Content

we ask is a chance and we guarantee that you will not only
give us your order, but will go home highly delighted with

The Louisville Courior Journal
notes that “A Minnessota man
lias grafted a tomato plant on a
potato plant, and with some fur
ther developement, probably hopes
to produce a vine that w r ill pro
duce a vegetable soup.”. Here's
hoping he will succeed in his un
dertaking.
We do not recommend Ramon’s
Nerve & Bone Oil because we realize
the greatest profits on its sale, but be
cause it gi ;es our customers the best
satisfaction for flesh wounds,rheumatic
pains, sprains and the like. It is natural
that one should wish to please his pat
rons and not defraud them with an
inferior article. Ask for Ramon’s. 25c.
