for his work’s sake !
Mr. John T. Chambers Jr. is hav
ing put up bv Mr. Jackson G. Smith
one of the handsomest little phaetons
that has ever beeD seen in Georgia.
When it appears on the streets ol
Birntsvillo, with Peanut all dressed
up in bis new spring suit, it will be a
turnout of envious admiration.
Mrs. Robert Mitchell bad the mis
fo'tune a few days ago, to badly
mash one of her ieet, by having a
piece of wood dropped on it. The
accident was painful, though we are
glad to say. not dangerous.
Mr. W. H. Smith, Pike county’s
worthy tax-receiver, is a man, a citi
zen and a Christian gentleman well
worthy as an example to be followed.
This is true for many reasons and in
many ways. Just now he is putting
anew and neat picket fence aiouud
his home, that helps the appearance
much. Go thou, and do likewise.
A traveling man who works Geor
gia and Florida, was heard to say a
few days ago that Birneeville whs
the best town in all his rounds. This
is the truth and is just what every
body says. If there is a single citizen
of this little city who thinks other
wise, be ought not to stay sicgle.
He ought to get in better company.
The beautiful little book on Bar
nesville,recei)tly published,has found
a man in Chicago who wants to es-
tablish a match factory anil he is now
corresponding with a view of putting
up the factory here. For such an
enterprise Barnesvilie cannot be
matched any where and we thick he
will strike a bonauza if he locates
here.
001. Walter J. Woodall, who was
for quite a while a citizen of this
place, and a graduate of Gordon In
stitute, v as ihc'ed a member of the
state democratic executive committee
last Snturday, at. a meeting of the
committee in Atlanta. He will also
probably be elected to the state sen
ate from the Columbus district. He f
is a rising young man.
Rev. Homer Bush, President of
Andrew Female college at
Cuthbert, Ga., spent several days in
the city recently as the guest of
friends. He is having splendid suc
cess in bis new field of labor.which is
very gratifying fc.v his acquaintances
in Barnesvilie. Rev. Mr. Bush is a
brainy young man and the future will
bring him prominently before the
paople as one of the state’s best
educators. He leturned to Cuthbert
Monday morning.
How often, and sometimes how
quickly, our j >v is displaced by sad
ness and sorrow. One heart is tea
dc r and sympathetic and easily pierc
ed; another heart is hard and wicked
aud delights to see other hearts
bleed, it is the way of the world,
though it is a bul way. Last Sun
da} night, after a beautiful day, aud
pleasant services at the churches,and
when there apparently was a spirit
of peaoe and good will pervading the
community, the black imps of satin
were sneaking about under the shad
ows of night, dariDg to do the deeds
of their master. From home to tome
throughout the town, they went and
with evil bands they plucked malici
ously the beautiful flowers that were
so much admired and appreciated bv
the pe< pie in these vaiious homes. It
is v.ell that these imps took the
night for their work,or the sweetness
| and modesty and purity—strangers
to the assassinators—of the fljwers
might have so abashed them as lo
have made them flee from their own
devilish undertakings. But any way,
ere the darkness had gone from the
teartb, evil deers had done their
woik md departed. It was a mean
trick, by cowardly cbaiaelere,but we
ure sure that their own consciences
hive sorely smitten them for the
worry and disturbance and sadness
they have caused. Then too, they
will remember that there is a day of
greater reckoning than this, when all
things shull be revealed. Until then
‘‘sin may or may not find thorn out.”
The Elder Show Co.,will give their
first show of the season at the home
of Mr. Edward Elder Saturday after
noon at 2 o’clock. They hold their
show in a teut for the purpose. Mis
t-r Ed El ler is manager, Master
George Elder, assistant manager,
aud Masters Frank C >oE, Hurry
Downing. Kob It lunceville and Ro
land W llace, actors, who are sup
posed to be employed. We hope
the shew will stuud a better show
than most shows that show in Bir
ntsville.
Miss Clifford Goodwyn, who is
quite a ‘nlented and an accomplished
young lady, has b?en employed to
take charge ofa school at Willingham,
near Albauy, aud goes to the place
this week, to begin wort. W T e wish
her abundaut success in her laburs.
We failed to chronicle the mar
riage, lms t week, of Miss Lucy Cain
to Mr. W. E. Welsh, both of whom
live near Goggansville. Tlaey were
married by Dr. J. M. Brittain. Con
gratulations have been warmly ex
tended them.
The little chiid ut M*. Robert Col
lier, near Fredonia church,was burn
ed to death last week. The furmrul
occuared last Friday and the remains
were interred by Undertaker Smith.
Mr. H. H. Huff ie making some
improvements about his home. A
new veranda and anew picket fence
make quite mi improvement in the
home. And so improvements are
constantly being made throughout
the town.
Mr. James L. Hunt will begin
shortly the erection of an elegant
new borne just outside of town, near
the home of Mr. J. li-Franklin. The
plans have been drawn by Mr. L. P.
Hudson and indicate that it will be a
handsome house. It will be large,
conveniently arranged and beautiful
ly finished.
Barnesvilie in now doing more
work in the literary field than it has
ever done before. The bhakespear
an and literary clubs, the entertain
ments with Caeser, Napoleon and
other such character, the work of
the church organizations, with much
private reading that is being done,
are to be highly commended, anil it
affords the Gazette genuine pleasure
to support the iHurts that are being
made in these directions. It is cer
tain to culminate in good.
Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Rockwell will
begin to ke ip bouse Saturd iy, having
secured tbe nome of Mr. W. O. An
derson ou Elm street. This is an
elegant house well located*, and their
friends hope house keeping may be
pleasant to them.
The Gazette is happy—for its
friends. Life seems to be moving
so smoothly and pleasantly witn
every body and nearly every enter
prise in and around Barnesvilie,that,
notwithstanding our struggles and
disappointments and burdens, we are
and .ing our best to be happy too. It
is worth the effort. If we sometimes
have a sad heart, we should hide it,
if possible behind happy smiles and
a cheerful countenance.
The white bather shop has dme
well since it has opened here. It de
serves tbe patrounge of every one.
Messrs Jones and Thompson are
worthy gentlemen as well as genu
ine, first class artists.
Tbe fragiant flower and mellow
blossom, everywhere coming to view,
indicate tOao gantle spring has laid
its hand upon vegetatiou and bidden
it to come forth, “it is far more
cheerful to reckon tbe year by blos
som than by b ht.
There is almost a regular pants
fidory near Barnesville,or more cor
rectly at Piedmont. Tbe wife und
daughters of Mr. G. Id. Collier make
ab jut fifty dc zeu pairs a year for tbe
J. C. Collier company. The company
furnishes the cloth and the ladies cut
and make the pants. Wbilo the
price at which tbe pants are made is
low, the great number ma le, afford
ing constant employment, makes it
profitable- “Man’s work is from suu
to bud, but woman’s work—for man
I —is never done.”
