The editer is not allways respon sible fi r the misetakesof speling in his piper. bomtimes it is the print her, sometimes it is the uroofe rend er,sometimes it is one thing or sooth er. Sometiru ritisfunv, sometimes it is not funny, but most always it is mortyfiing to the poor editor, who is most ginei ally entitled to more sym pathy than he gets. Love the editor 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.” _ B TTIT I' FRESH, GENUINE &PURE GARDEN SEEDS ....AT---. • BLACKBURN’S DRUG STORE , Where Prescription Work Is A Spe - cialty Day Or Night, Phone Nos.
