Mr. E. W. Rose came very near
having a serious fire last Monday.
Owing to a defective Hue in the

ing tho Haines without serious dam

buildings will he erected as soon as

ing on the street during tiff? after
noon, not even thinking to give her
the usual feed at noon. When Mr.
Bulloch was about to close the
trade, he said there was one further
fact lie desired information con
cerning. He desired information
concerning. He desired to know
the limit to the number of children
one father would have the privi
lege of matriculating in Gordon In
stitute. He said he had eight, and
if the limit, allowed that number he
would trade and would he reach’ at
the opening of the school in Janua

Air. Bulloch will add another ex

publications of the day. If you de

sustained alone hv the superior
reading matter it contains,subscribe

Complimentary Notice.
Our government can no longer be
said to be an experiment. ()ne bun
dred years of successful existence
have established it as a permanent
institution. The magnificent con
duct of the people during the late
election proves their patriotism and
tho wisdom of our Constitution.
Our immense commercial interests
also furnish convincing proof. We
know of no better illustration of
the success attending honorable
and able business methods than the
firm of D. M. Ferry A Cos., Detroit,
Mich., the leading seedsmen of this
country. From small beginnings,
thirty years ago, they have built up
their mammoth business by strict
adherence to their initial principle
of furnishing only the host seeds oh
tai liable. They offer to send their
valuable “Annual” free to all who
expect to buy seeds or bulbs.
Mechanical Genius*
Master Alexander Mitchell, son
of (’apt. J. 11. Mitchell is certainly
a mechanical genius. He is only
ten years old, and has quite a num
ber of evidences of his skill and in
genuity. We saw Saturday morn
ing a comb case made by him which
in design and execution, vies with
the neatest specimens of the prod
ucts of our cabinet workmen. He
has tools, scroll saw and all imple
ments necessary to making his
miniature car, ship, house and va
rious other things his tastes have
led him to construct. II is work
would reflect credit on a skilled
mechanic, and demonstrates a nat
ural gift and fondness for such
work. With proper training he
will take the front rank as an
artist. He is named for the lute
Col. Alexander of this eouiitv, who
left him a small legacy, which is
nowin hunk. He has a natural!
talent tluit should be cultivated.
County Election.
A few days since we reported in
these columns the result of the De
mocratic convention at Zehulon
convening for the purpose of put
ting; in nomination a full ticket for
county officers. The ticket is one
that any man in tho county can
very satisfactorily vote for. There
is more business in this election
| than any wc have held this year,
i The progress and prosperity of the \
county arc at stake. Men, white
i or colored who have property to be
protected and who would secure
j the best guarantee of the preserva
tion of their lives and liberty,
| should vote for the Democratic
| nominees. We need the best offi
cers to manage our county busi
ness we can get. There is no better
sheriff in the state than the demo
cratic nominee of this county for
that important office. Judge Wells
has shown his competency to make
a first class Ordinary and should be
re-elected.
Mr. J. L. Driver, as a fine scribe,
and good business man, cannot he
surpassed.
The other nominees are all good
men and competent who will make
faithful officers if elected. In this j
election the voters of the county
are selecting servants who will take
charge of their business and man
age it as they’ see fit during their
term of office. When you have put
them in charge, you will have no
voice, further you do not have the
liberty you have in your own pri
vate business. It is therefore very!
important that you vote for the ;
best men for the various places, j
We feel that the regular Demoera-;
tic ticket is the more capable ticket j
and hence we support it.
More than half of them ’are tric'd
and experienced officers and it is
safe to vote for them. And the ob
ligations on the colored voters to
support the best men is no less bin
ding than upon the whites. Each
are interested in the protection of
their life, liberty and property and
in good county go vernment.
An Important Discovery.
The most important discovery is
that which brings the most good to
the greatest number. Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption,
I Coughs, and Colds, will preserve
tin* health and save life, and is a
priceless boon to the afflicted. Not
only does it positively cure con
sumption, but coughs, colds, bron
chitis, asthma, h<...rseness, and all
affections of the throat chest and
lungs, yield to its wonderful cura
tive powers. If you doubt this get
a trial bottle free at J. W. High
tower’s Drug Store.
Returned the Stock.
Monday last there .was a slight
ripple in commercial circles in
Barnesville, betttuse of Messrs. H.
I*. it E. W. Elder returning to Mr.
G. 0. Holmes tho stock of goods
purchased of him about eighteen
months since. These gentlemen,
as we are informed, purchased the
stock of Mr. Holmes at a stipulated
sum and gave the firm notes, and
mortgages on the stock. Mr. H.
P. Elder put in some cash and Mr.
E. W. Elder put in the stock of
goods carried in his business at the
time of purchasing from M r. Holmes
They proceeded actively and ener
getically to pay out by selling all
the goods they could, and at the
same time discounting all the
claims, they could, held against Mr
Holmes. For a time the prospect
was bright and they did well. Find
ing they could not meet the paper
held by Mr. Holmes this winter,
they have preferred to return the
stock to him, and did so Monday.
It seems that Mr. Holmes had been
favored pecuniarily by Judge
James W. Means, and has transfer
red some,if not all.the mortgages to
him. As we understand the condi
tion of the stock, Judge Means be
comes she receiver, and will take it
and sell it off, Mr. Holmes assist
ing him.
At this writing Messrs. H. P. &
E. W. Elder are undecided what
will ho their future course.
All in the Line of Nature.
There is nothing in the line of
magic or mystery about that won
derful and popular medicine. Par
ker’s Tqnic. It is simply the best
and most scientific combination
possible of the essential principles
of those vegetable curatives which
act powerfully and directly on the
stomach, liver, kidneys and blood.
But there neither is nor will be, any
successful imitation of it. It is all
the time curing those who had dis
paired of ever getting well. For
yourself, your wife and children.
Public Library.
The Gazette is pleased to an
nounce that Messrs W. R. Murphev
& Son have arranged for a magnif
icent hall in their new building,
which will ho suitable for the estab
lishment of a public library and
reading room.
Col. A. A. Murphev in arrango
ing the up stars has cut' off a nice
hall 33x*U feet in the clear, and
will finish it up as neatly inside as
a parlor room. There will he four
nice lire places to the hall and not
a single obstruction in any part of
it. I t has openings on thret* sides
beside the entrance door on the
fourth side. It will he a superior
! room to the public library hall in
| the citv of Macon. Messrs Mur
pliey & Son will very gladly let the
hall for such a purpose. We do not
deem it necessary to argue the
advantages of a public reading
room, in which our citizens, male
and female, can have access at all
times to a large selection of excel
lent hooks, the leading periodicals
of the day and the leading daily and
weekly papers of America and ev
en Europe. It would certainly he
a treat to walk into a cozy hall
neatly carpeted, with cherry fires,
and quietly peruse the leading Dai
ly papersjof England. France, Ger
lueny and America. It would be a
lifvc'ofa thing for the ladies to
step into such a place and take
in the latest agony as found in
Demurest-, Godey, Peterson or Har
pers. We would suggest a meeting
for the purpose of organizing by
electing a president and hoard of
directors, who will direct and con
trol the enterprise for the benefit of
the town. There are small rooms
on i ither side of the hall that could
he secured and everything is in as
good shape as could be asked for a
public library. \\ hat say the citi
zens of Bnrnesvill about the mat
