$145.50 for the
Gainesville Sufferers.
A committee composed of Messrs
ID. L. Anderson, Chas Hunt and
Dr. E C. Ripley canvassed the
town last Thursday soliciting sub
scription for the Gainesville suf
ferers. The people responded lib
erally and they raised SIBB for

to Gainesville. The following
letter of thanks has been receiv
ed :
HEADQUARTERS RELIEF ASSOCIATION
Gainesville, Ga.,
June 5, 1908.
To Our Many Sympathizing
Friends: —
Like Niobe of old, Gainesville,
Georgia’s Queen City, sits weep
ing for her ohildren. Clouds of
sorrow, scenes of desolation, hearts
burdened with grief, are every
where about us. As though sor
rowful for the destruction they
have wrought, the elements seem
to weep with us. Scarcely a ray
of sunshine has pierced the leaden
skies since that fateful Monday,
June 1, and our beautiful city
is constantly drenched with “tears
from the skies. ” Out of the clouds
of gloom and sadness with which
we are surrounded, however, a
voice has come, bidding us be of
good cheer. Georgia’s great heart
has responded nobly to our call
for aid and from city and hamlet
letters of sympathy, bearing evi
dences of the brotherhood of man,
in the shape of checks and drafts
have come to feed the hungry, re
lieve the suffering and bury the
dead. To every one who has con
tributed of money, stores or pro
visions, sympathy or words of en
couragement, Gainesville returns
her heartfelt thanks and prays
God’s richest blessings upon the
giver thereof.
To Citizens of Barnesville we
hereby acknowledge the receipt of
$138.00.
Gratefully yours,
Z. T. Castle bury,
Treasurer Relief Fund.
Since sending the above, $12.50
has been raised and forwarded to
the tornado sufferers.
Get Your
Chautauqua Ticket.
The season tickets for Chautau
qua will be on sale in a day or
twc and the people of Barnesville
should get their tickets early.
The program for this year is
believed to be one of the very
best ever presented here and one
that will give great satisfaction.
The music features alone will be
worth far more than the cost of
the season and so it is with the
. ■
lectures and other entertaj nments.
Nobody can well afford to miss
anything that will lie given dur
ing the entire week.
The Chautauqua this year is
certain to be a genuine treat to
every one and will demonstrate
again the fact that this institution
is one that should be patronized
and made a success so that it
may be kept up from year to year.
It has been worth much to Barnes
ville and everybody should A o
everything possible 4 .j make the
present u a gnat success.
Get your tickets this week and
I >e ready to attend every enter
; tainment.
