THE CENTER DRUG STORE
Some people are very particular as to whom they
employ for their family physician, and not very
particular as to where prescriptions are filled.
Your doctor fights the disease, and if your pre
scriptions are not filled accurately or with cheap
material, how can you or the doctor expect
results. Our facilities for filling proscriptions
are the best in the country and we fill them as
they should be filled, or not at all. .Send us

THE TWENIETH CENTURY COUNTRY WEEKLY.
BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 3. 1904.
THE CHAUTAUQUA WILL BE HELD.
Enthusiasm Over It--A Strong Program tor the
Coming Session--July 3-10.
The Directors of the Barnes
ville Chautauqua met last Friday
and after thoroughly considering
the question a-deciison was reach
ed to hold a Chautauqua this year,
the time being tixed for the week,
July B—lo. A committee was ap
pointed at that meeting to see
the citizens and business men of
the community and ascertain
whether a chautauqua was desired
this summer and if there was a
disposition to back up the enter
prise with financial help if it
should be needed. The result of
the committee’s work is very grat
ifying. On every hand, with few
exceptions, everybody wanted a
chautauqua and a liberal subscrip
tion was made to push the good
work along. Encouraged by the
A Deserving Man.
Who Can Be Trusted to Honest
ly Represent His Constituents.
Politics and I have scarcely
been on speaking terms for the
past few years, but I think it un
wise aud disloyal to one’s country
to remain dormant too long on
all questions of public policy.
We all are, or ought to be, vi
tally interested in good govern
ment. The basis of all good gov
ern inent is the laws and the exe
cution of laws by which we are
governed. These laws are made
by men nominated and elected by
the people; therefore it is of ex
treme importance that the gener
al character and demeanor of
these men, as far as possible,
should be irreproachable. Such a
man, I am glad to say, we find in
the Hon. John F. Madden, of
Concord.
He laid the foundation upon a
solid basis in his youth, and upon
that has built a character and a
name that any man might feel
proud of. His political aspiration
and ambition, his loyalty k to his
country and to his friends, his re
cognized integrity and honesty of
purpose, have placed him in the
legislative halls of Georgia for
several years as representrtive
from this county. During all these
years he was always at his post of
duty, ever watchful of our inter
ests. We don’t claim for him the
oratorical powers of a Demosthenes
but we do claim that lie has the
sound discretion, judgment and
moral courage to vote on all ques
tions for the best interests of his
I constituents.
In commemoration of his past
services, faithfully and efficiently
I rendered, and as a lasting tribute
to his memory and worth, there is
Ia general uprising among his
i friends in this portion of the coun
ty that he be nominated and elec
ted Senator from this district in
the next general election. We can
! trust him with that firm reliance
; which alone brings ease and com
fort to her citizens. He has a per
sonal magnetism that draws men
to him; there is not anything re
pulsive about him. And then again
he is made out of such stuff that,
whether he stands victorious on the
, battlefield or vanquished, he is
the same old soldier. He fights for
jyour rights; he fights for mine.
His moral courage and loyalty to
his friends have been tested before
Winchesters inhis own home town.
It was only providential that he
was spared to Ins friends in that
i bloody battle, in which one of the
: bravest officers Pike county ever
had fell dead at his feet, and he
' himself fell almost mortully
citizens in this way, the directors
have gone to work with enthusi
asm and they promise to present
a much stronger program this
year than for several years past.
They are going to get lip a varied
program and will secure the very
strongest attractions that can be
secured. They will seek the aid of
every Bureau in America to get
what is wanted. Every effort, will
lie made to present this year (lie
best program that has ever been
given at this chautauqua.
Dr. J. A. Corrv, Mr. C. O. Sum
mers and Mr. M. W. Smith were
added to the hoard of directors
Friday and they will join with
the old members in the work to
he done.
wounded.
If men can rely on him m such
emergencies as that, we can cer
tainly trust him in the legislative
halls of Georgia.
