About Town.
That Underwear mill down on the
railroad is no little thiug for this
town. 1 was down there Saturday
afternoon when the operatives were
paid c IT. It was no little sum they
received, but dollars and dollars and
di liars every niokle of it to
be speut right in this growing
town. It is one of the busiest plac
es iu Barue?v.lle; those people work.
They know what to do—and they
do it. Aud the stuff they do make;
just piles and piles and piles of it,
nil to go out to some other sections
of the country and send hardearned
cash back in its place. That mill is
a good thing. It helps those who
want fiuploymeui: it helps its stock
holders and owners; it helps the
planters to secure better prices for
their cotton; it helps the country by
causing money to come in here that
would vo out, without it; and best of
all it helps the town try turning lots
aud lots aud lute of money loose to
be speut right uere at home.

What about that Barnesville Ten
nis Club ? It will soou be time to
re organize. The days are getting
1 mger and it wout be a great while
before the boys who work in the
stores can get off occasionally in the
afternoons and ‘‘get their band iu”
at tenuis again. The Club last year
bad a large membership and nearly
everyone bad lots of fun out of it.
The sooner the club gets together,
the better it will be for advantage
can be taken of the cooler weather
before trot summer comes.
Much improvemt baa been made
in the streets of Barnesville in this
year ot 1896- The streets make a
better appearance than they have in
quite awhile before. Mr. Bill How
ard and Mr- Bill Willis are mighty
good street hands and they are do
ing the streets up in great shape.
I hope they’ll fiuish their good work
before summer—for it’s said, you
know, that both are conscientiously
oppose Ito hot weather on account
of it making them sleepy—as good
streets always make a better impres
sion than poor ones dc, and we ex
pect to have more visitors this sum
mer than Barnesville has ever
known. And then, we may have
some nice gentlemen here during
commencement, who may want to
go driving, as did one fiorn Griffin
a bummer or two ago who, when iiis
horse starttd to trotting off a little
fast, thought he was running away
and stood up iD the buggy, without
attempting to hold the horse with the
line-, and hollered, “Head him!’’
“Head him !” ‘ Somebody stop him 1”
We need good nice streets for these
people you know, so that if th =
horse wants to trot and the nice
young gentlemen fall out they wont
get hurt.
The dry goods merchants of Bames
ville will have the prettiest line of
spring goods in a few weeks that has
ever been shown in this city. They
have bought almost txtrava
gantly and the stuff they will soon
put on their counters will be amaz
ingly elegant and beautiful, yet cheap.
B/.ruesville always has had the repu
tation of being up-to-date and tnis
fact will never be more fully demon
strated than when her merchants
open up their spring goods.
About Barnesville.
The Augusta Chronicle says:
Barutsville, Gu., has gotten out
one of the most attractive advertis
ing publications we have seen. If
every town in Georgia had a publi
cation approaching this in attrac
tiveness, and would circular it
through the Notthwedt, Georgia
would soon be crowded with immi
grants.
The Columbus Ledger says:
We are under obligations to the
Barnesville Gazette for a copy of a
very hundsotne publication which
sets forth in an attractive, concise
and pointed manner the advantages
and resources which Barn sville and
the surrounding section aff irds
home-seekers. Barnesville is ahead
of the average city of its size in en
ergy and enterprise and is located in
one of the best sections of Georgia
The Griffin Call says:
The Call is under obligations to
the Barnesviilu Gazette for a neatly
printed and handeomely illustrated
catalogue setting forth the growth
and prosperity of Birnesville and
her advantages to home-seekers
IbunesvillMs a plucky little city
and improves every opportunity of
doing herself good. This pamphlet
does the town and adjacent county
up in grand shape aud will prove to
be money well spent. Thomasville
gained a national reputation fur be
ing a grand winter resort for north
ern tourists by such methods, and
now Thomasville has easy sailing.
The Atlanta Journal, S ivannah
Newp, Columbus Enquirer-Sun, The
Georgia Cracker, Newunn Herald
and Advertiser, aud quite a number
of other Georgia papers have pub
lished the following notice, which
first appeared in the Atlanta Jour
ual:
The enterprising citizens of Bar
neoviile have issued a complete guide
for home seekers aud manufacturers
who contemplate locating iu the
south, setting forth the advantages
of that town. It is a handsome
pamphLt beautifully illustrated.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Mayor Huguley and Alderman
Smith while iu Atlauta Tuesday con
sulted with one of the best electric
ans in the city in regard to putting
in an electric light pi tut in B irnes
ville. The gentleman seen talked
very sensibly and practically about
the matter aud, without any expense
to the city or any individual in the
city but wholy on his own hook,pro
posesdo come toßarneevillc,look over
I ground and furnish an estimate of
the the cost of putting in. the plant.
The electrician will be hero next
Monday to see what can be done in
this matter. He figures it that u
plmt cm be put in here at a reason
ably small amount, and one that iu
every way will give eminently satis
factory service.
Barnesville must have electric
lights 1 The town is too progressive
to lag behind; and unless we go for
ward, we will go back ward. With the
finest system of,waterworks in Ge r
gia; with the finest school in the
South; and with as good an electric
light plant as any city has,where can
there be found a town of the same
size that can compare with Barnes
villu? N iy! There is none. Then,
talk up electric lights-! Talk up the
new' G ldon Institute ch ipi-1! Talk
up Barnesville. the most progressive
and live lit'Je city iu Georgia.

A HANDSOME PAPER.
The Atlanta Conetituti mof Sur -
day spoke as follows of Mr. Le-vis
Browu's magazine, which we can
heartily endorse:
“The South Illustrated,” which is
published in Atlanta each month by
Mr. C. L. Brown, has just issued its
third number and conus fresh spark
ling from tbe hands of the printer.
Several new departments have been
added since the last number aud the
edition just out is the best of the
Kind that li is been issued from an
A'lanta press. The bo iklctis hand
somely illustrated with half toue
engravings aud from a literary and
mechauical standpoint it is quite a
■access,”
All of Mr. Brown’s Barnesville
friends wish him great success with
his magazine.
IN GOOD SHAPE.
The music department of Gordon
Institute is in good shape. The en
rollment is large and the equipment
is constantly being improved and
added to. There are six new pianos,
making the number in all a available
eleven. Few schools are better
equipped for doing work. Mrs.
Cochrane and Mrs. Battle are cer
tainly efficient and enthusiastic teach
ers.
THEY HUSTLE.
Messrs Butler & Deavours, who
recently took charge of the Penny
Backet, are bustlers and they are
rapidly increasing the trade at their
store. People like to p itronize live
business men and we predict that
this new firm will do well in BarueH
ville. We call special attention to
their advertisement and urge the
peolple to patronize them.

THREW AWAY HIS CANES.

Creek, N. Y., was so badly afflicted,
with rheumatism that he was only
able to hobble around with canes,
and even then it caused him great
pain. After usiDg C mberlain,s
