The Art Department.
Professor Lnmbdin lias secured
the services of Miss Laura A. Bacon I
of Albany, Ga., as a teacher in the
Art Department of Gordon Institute j
Aliss Bacon graduated at Shorter ;
College, Rome, Ga., and will be
quite an acquisition to the faculty j
of the Institute. She will teach
Drawing, China and Oil Painting.
She has heretofore had charge of a
similar department in the seminary
at Albany, Ga.. and comes highly
recommended as a teacher in this
line. It is useless for the Gazette
to offer any argument in behalf of
this department. It has especially
of recent years become quite useful
and profitable to he accomplished
in these matters. Many ladies are
making a handsome support by
executing work in this line, besides
the pleasure of such pursuits. It j
is more than probable there will be
a nice class in this department, j
which will increase as the taste of
the community for such things en
larges.
Homicide in Monroe.
Last Thursday night, near Un
ionville, in Alonroe county a homi
cide was committed. It seems that S
an entertainment was given at the
home of Mrs. Crawford, a widow ;
lady. Several young people had j
gathered there for the purpose of
enjoying themselves. Mr. Jesse
j Crawford, tho son of tho lady, we
learn had some whiskey on hand,
and sold it to the boys, and unfor
tunately too much was drank.
While several of them were out of
the house in the yard, a difference
of some sort nitose which resulted
in the death of Jesse Crawford.
Our informant states that Jesse was
struck with a rock on the head and
the skull was crushed, producing
death. Mr. Howard Cawley was
supposed to have thrown the rock
that produced Jesses death, and
was arraigned Monday morning for
commitment trial. Mr. Joe Eng
lish and Mr. Cheney Cawley were
arrested, as accessories. Col. J. A.
Hunt was sent for Saturday and
was employed in the case. Joe
English and Cheney Conly were
hound over. Howard did not ap
pear for trial.
Our Advertisers.
We invite the attention of our
readers to the advertisements in
the Gazette. Most of them are ve
ry attractive and neat. When you
need to purchase goods, you will
consult your interest by taking the

and other things kept in a first class
establishment.
r. ir. snook.
Our readers remember, that a
few months since this gentleman
had two fires attack the CHEAP
EST FURNITURE HOUSE in
Georgia. Like our own Barnes
ville he has risen from the ashes
and now has a larger stock, a bet
ter stock and a more accommoda
ting stock of furniture than he ever
kept before the fire attacked him. It
is a real treat to take a walk throug
the four story building and look at
all styles and grades of furniture
there to be seen. One will get a
faint idea about the immensity of
the stock when he seventy odd dif
ferent suits set up on one floor all
different patterns. You feel that
you arc in a palace when you reach
the second fioor and look over the
broad expanse of parlor suites, all
spread out in their elegance and
beauty. The fourth fioor has very
much reached the appearance of a
furniture factory, as this is the
j place where the goods are put to
gether, preparatory for shipment.
I One can he fitted up by Mr. Snook
jin anything from the cheapest to
jto the most eofetly, in any line of
furniture, parlor goods, or anything
j to be found in a furniture store.
A Remarkable Escape.
Mrs. AI ary A. Dailey, of Tunk
hannock, Pa., was afflicted for six
years with Asthma and Bronchitis
during which time the best physic
ans could give no relief. Her life
was despaired of, until in last Oc
tober She procured a Bottle of Dr.
King’s New Discovery, when* im
mediate relief was felt, and by
confuting its use for a short time
she was completely cured, gaining
in flesh 50 lbs. in a few months.

The demand and the satisfaction given is
said to be without a parallel, as its action] is
pronounced wonderful.
We are glad to announce that druggists have
already secured a supply, and we hope our
readers will supply themselves at once.
It is said to be the only speedy and perman

Barnesville Resurrecting.
The Late Fire a Benefit.
In accordance with the advertise
ment of the city council, the vacant
lots which came into the posses
sion of the town by changing the
public square were sold Tuesday to
the highest bidder. At 10 o’clock
Mayor Murphey called Mr. C. T.
Tyler who cannot be surpassed in
crying off property, and a number
of gentlemen followed, to the lower
end of Jackson street. A plan of
the town had been drawn with lots
to he sold, numbered and marked
so they could bo readily distin
guished. Fronting Jackson street
were eleven lots. Ten of these
measure 21x661-6. Seven of these
were purchased by Mr. H. R. Cham
hers, for $1092.25. The next three
were purchased by Mr. T. B. Lyon
as agent for his children at $454.50-
Thcre were then left three lots on
this line, one fronting both Forsyth
and Jackson street and two Forsyth
street only. The corner lot front
ing both streets was bid off - by Mr.
I’. F. Matthews at $599.<X). The ad
joining lot was bid oft’ by Mr. H. R.
Harris at $301.00.
The crowd then crossed over For
syth street and thelotlGft and Tin
by 30 feet, fronting both Forsyth
and Jackson streets which was the
corner formerly occupied by Mes
srs W. R. Murphey & Cos., was bid
off - for Messrs YV. 11. Murphey & Cos,
at SSOO. By the side of this lot
fronting Jackson street was another
36ft and 7 inches by 17 Aft. This
lot was bid off for Messrs W. It. Mur
phey & Cos., at $212.00. Adjoining
this was a third lot fronting Jack
son street and measuring 32ft 7in
by 20 feet. Mr. Ambrose Murphey
purchased this lot at $200.00.
These figures aggregate $3358,75 for
all the real estate sold by the city
council.
In changing the public square so
as to make the burnt line parallel
with the other side the council gave
$2660.00 for the lots and parts of
lots, that were converted in
to street. Beside making the
public square far more acceptable
and attractive and advancing the
value of the burnt side the town
makes a handsome profit and ex
tends Jackson street from Forsyth
to Tavlor street. By purchasing
the lot of Mr. 11. It. Chambers near
Taylor street, that street has been
opened and straightened to tho
public square, Jackson street was
made fifty feet and 7in wide and
will give more space for business
houses. In purchasing the hotel
lot the council became the owner of
considerable brick, rock, pipes and
other things which were sold to
the highest bidder, after the real
estate was sold. # This was purchas
ed by different parties at the ag
gregate of about $78.00. This ad
ded to the amount for the real es
state will make the figures aggre
gate $3436.75.
Deducting from this sum, the
amount paid for the lots purchased
wo have as a net gain in dollars and
cents to the town,beside the greatly
improved condition of the public
square, and property on the burned
side $776.75. Beside the coun
cil have about S2OO in rock unsold
and the corner lot on Forsyth
street worth S4OO. To this add 124,-
25, interest on unpaid sums. These
sums added to the cash gains make
the town gainer by Ijhe fire of
$1,500,00.
We feel that Barnesville is to be
congratulated on the rap
idity with which she has
arisen from the ashes of such a fire,
as that of October 17th last. Beside
the fifteen magnificent brick build
ings alreadv under wav and com
pleted, Air. Ambrose Murphey is
contracting for a handsome
brick Drug store above Forsyth
sheet fronting the public square.
He says he must have the keys to
it bv Christmas day He his hut
to w 11 it and it will be so.
AU-. John Gardner is arranging to
rebuild bis residence which will be
of,brick since it is-in the fire limit.
He hopes to have it ready for occu
pancy early in the coming year.

About 2 o'clock to-day two men
willfully and fraudulently entered
the house of Edd White colored on
the plantation of Mr. J. L. Smith,
three.miles southwest of Zebulon,
and asked Edd if he had any mon
ey. He answered that he did not.
They then took up a Singer Sewing
Machine, and in spite of Edd and
his family made their escape to
ward the mountains. Edd will
bring these men to justice if he
can find them. It is hoped they
may be brought to justice. Edd
had bought and paid for the ma

These are Solid Facts.
The best blood puifier and sys
tem regulator ever placed within
the reach of suffering humanity,
truly, is Electric Bitters. Inactivity
of the Liver, Biliousness, Jaudice,
Constipation, Weak Kidneys, or
any disease of the urinary organs,
or whoever requires an appetizer,
tonic or mild stmiifant, will al
ways find Electric Bitters the best
and only certain cure known. They
act surely and quickly, every bot
tle guaranteed to give entire satis
faction or money refunded. Sold at
fifty cents a bottle by J. W. High
tower.
In rebuilding our city, it is very
important that the new buildings
should display some architectural
effect, and we recommend all our
friends to procure drawings for
their houses, and in this connec
tion suggest Messrs Fay and Eieh
borg of Atlanta as thoroughly re
liable architects.
Nose Eaten Off.
A young man named John Naves'
living near here, had an eating can
cer on his face which had
c iten away his nose
part of his cheek and extended up
nearly to his eye. It was one of the
most angry eating sores that E had
ever seen. His throat finally became
involved to such an extent that he
could only swallow liquid food. Af
ter using all the remedies without
cheeking the ravages of the eating
cancer, his general health was bro
ken down, he was confined to his
bed and thought it to he only a
question of time about his death
from the cancer. I put him on
Swift’s Specific as a last resort/
and lie began to improve with the
first dose. His general health im
proved at once, and rapidly; his
throat got well; the ravages of the
cancer were soon stopped it began
to heal around the edges and after
a few months treatment “was'well.
II 8 face is all healed o. er with now
flesh, and his general health is ex
cellent. His recovery is wonderful.

mischief can he overcome by the
use of Brown’s Iron Bitters—the
best tonic ever made. Airs. Emilie

“After trying Brown’s Iron Bitters
we arc persuaded that it is all that
it claims to be —a good and reliable,

in like manner.
