THE BARNESVILLE OAZET l E
THURSDAY, DEC. J, 1593.
ENTERPRISE
APPRECIATED.
[Communication.]
The people of Parnesville should cer
tainly feel thankful for the sixteen page
issue ef the (Jazbttk on Thanksgiving
l>ay.
A lady who is capable of judging
pronounces it one of the best weeklies in
the state.
It, is chaste high-toned and moral in
Its hearing and true to every interest of
our town.
Is it surprising then that Harnesvllle
should continue to grow with such an
enterprising advocate?
Long may it wave over the hills
and valleys of old I’ike and may its
ghadovv never grow less!
Ji STICK.
Christmas will be upon the coun
try in n very short time now. wbeth
er the people are ready for it or not
It may not bo so, but we think
1894 will bo u better year lor the
people and fur bumi-eia tbuu 1893
has been.
The Augusta Expoition has been
very pleat success, and the enter
prise of the city and itn people ha ,
elicited the praise of the entire com
munity.
Every body in Georgia will rejoioe
to know that Messrs. Carter and
Knox have started the Atlanta Her
ald again, though it will be called
the Daily News, They have the very I
best wishes of the Gazette.
Hon. Charles L. Bartlett is prom
inently spoken of for tho supremo
bench. He has made a superior judge
since he has presided over the courts
of the Macon circuit. His friends are
legion in Georgia.
r Van Allen, whom Mr. Cleveland
appointed as ambassador to Italy,
has refused the appointment. He
does so because of the criticism
which has be n caused by his ap
pointment, which he says, a3 how
ever unjust.
Maj. M. C. Kiser, one of the most
prominent citizens and wholesale
merchants in Atlanta died a few days
ago. He was one of the noblest of
men, and did much good with his
moDey in a charitable way. There
are comparatively few like him.
The report of Hon. James H.
Blount on the Hawaii question hnH
been very greatly discussed within
the lust few weeks. Mr. Blount has
been criticised by rnauy republicans,
but this was expected. His report
will doubtleß stand the test.
The resoltuions of Maj. A. O. Ba
con before the legislature, which
oonceru nationul questions have pro
voked considerable criticism. Tuey
have created the belief that maybe
Maj. Bacon expected a stampede to
wards him for senator, which how
ever did not occur.
AN INTERESTING REPORT.
Comptroller General Wright of
Georgia has just made his annual
report, ami it is an interesting one.
It shows that from 1879 t0°1892
the total taxable property o f Geor
gia increased from $234,000,000 to
$468 000,000 in value, nud in addi
tion to this there is some $20,000,000
of railroad property exempt from
taxation under the terms of its char
acter. The year just closed shows a
falling off of $11,000,000 from the
digest of 1892. This falling off
is said to have been cau -ed by
the fact that the assessment laws
was declared unconstitutional, and the
taxes were returned, without assess
ment. The depression on account of
hard times a'so had something to do
with the law estimates placed on
property.
The report shows that in 1870 the
value of city aud town and real estate
was $49,000,000 aud that in 1893 it
is $122,000,000, an increase of near
ly 200 per cent. The increase in
fMming 'suds has been from $90,-
000,000 in 79 to $131,000,000 in
83. or nearly 50 per cent. The in
* u farm implements
been $2,0 00,000. to
.*5,000,000. or 150 per cent. The
increase in banking capital has been
from §4,000.000 to §14,000.000, in
taxable railroad property from 89,-
000,000 to §42.000,0000, and the
capita' invested in mining has in
creased from §97,000 to §270,000,
and in iron work and founeri s from
j than §3OO, to more than $1,500.-
! 000 or about 500 per cent. Cotton
mills bhow an increase from §1,500,-
000 to more than $12,000,000 or
about 750 per cent. The value of
propelty returned by negroes for
taxation has increased from
85.000,000 in 1879 to only a few
thousand less than 818.000,000 in
1893.
We think the report shows a very j
creditable condriion of aflair in
Georgia.
AGAINST MOB LAW.
The legislature passed a law a few
days since that has for its object, the
suppression of mob riolence.
q hcbiil as passed, makes it felon y
punishable by not less than twenty
years confinement in tue penitentiary,
for any one to engage in mob vio
lence, and if the victim dies from the
result of buch violence, then the
crime is murder. If anyone refuses
to aid the sheriff in suppressing a
mob the party so failing will be
guility of a misdemeanor, and if the
she nil learns of un unlawful assem
blage it is made his duty to arrest
them.
NO HARD TIMES WITH THEM.
Friday afternoon three bright new
buggies were glistening in the sun
shine before the mammoth reposito
ry of Mr. Jackson G. Smith. Up
on inquiry we learned that they
had just been purchased by three
prosperous farmers of Upson coun
ty, who planked the cash promptly
down. They had visited other pla
ces, seen aud priced other buggies,
j but the merits of Mr. Smith’s bug
gies outstripped them all, conse
quently the purchase was matte of
him.
We hope that these farmers may
enjoy many rides in theiv buggies
and that Mr Smith many continue to
give to the peoplo such good bug
gies as these.
This sale amounted to several
hundred dollars, and does not indi
cate much hards time with these peo
ple.
BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR
CATARRH THAT CONTAIN
MERCURY,
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell aud completely de
range the whole system when enter
ing it through the mucous surfaces.
Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputa
ble physicians, aB the damage they
will do is teu fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hull’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Cos. Toledo, 0., coniaius
no mercury, and is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood aud
mucous surfaces of the system. Iu
buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure

THE GRIPPE IS UPON US-
The grippe has seized the whole
country and to day the people are
sueezing and coughing more than
they have ever done before. It has
no mild form, but its in the worst
stages all the time. Quite a number
in Barnesville Lave been confined to
their beds by this “gripping mons
ter" aud the people generally are
suffering from it more tliau they ev
er did before.
We trust that its stay will bo short,
CALLED TO MACON.

well kuowu to many Baruesville peo
ple, has been called to tbe pastorate
of the First Baptist church of Ma
con to fill the vacaucy caused by the
death of Dr. E. W. Warren. lie is
yet a youcg mau but ranks among
the foremost ministers of his deno
matiou. The call is very complimen
tary to him.
IT WILL BE BUILT.
Scon after Christmas the Presby

of a handsome church ou the vacant
lot, betweeu the Blaclock house aud
Coehrau’s corner.

KHOWLBDGE ' I
Brings comfort and improvement and I
tends to personal enjoyment when
| rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, witn I
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs. _
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval oik the medical .
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ]
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists a. 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Cos. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also tSie name, Syrup of Figs,

accept any substitute if offered.
‘ NO COURT.'
There was no adjourned terra of
Pike Superior court, which was to
have been held this week, on account
of the illness of Solicitor General M.
W. Beck. A telegram to that effect
was received here Monday morning.
Quite a number of citizens and law
yers Lad already left for Zebulon,
and some had reached there before
they heard the news. Thus they had a
very unpleasant ride through the
cold which amounted touothing.
For a sore throat there is nothing
better than a flannel Dandage damp
ened with Chambei lain’s Pain Balm.
It will nenrly always effect a cure iD
one night’s time. 'I his remedy is al
so a favorite for rbeumatis-m and has
cured many very sev°re cases. 50
cent bottles for sale by S. B. Burr,
