BARNESVILLE GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1896.
Court Week.
Pike Superior court eouvieue I iu
Zebulon Monday ua raing, for the
first time using the handsome new
court bouse. Judge Marcus W. Beck
was on the bench, 001. O. H 8
Bloodwortb, the efficient solicitor
general, was ns court ready for busi
uess, quite a number of attorneys
were in attendance, the jurors wtre
in their places ami the new court
room was ifilled with spectators.
Every one was delighted with the
court house,thougti much regret was
expressed that the seats had uff arriv
ed and temporary seats had to be
provided for this session.
The grand-jury, which is one of
the best that has been drawn tor
a long time, was organized by the
selection of Mr. J. W. Stafford as
foreman and Mr. T. E. Whittle as
cleric. They weie addressed by
Judge Beck in a charge that was
earliest and vigorous and which com
pletely covered their and uty- He spoke
specially cf their duty in the inves
tigation of the various offices of the
county- He gave thtm in charge
their duty regarding each *office and
iu fact went ove> all their duties at
length, and the manner in which his
charge was delivered showed that he
thoroughly appreciated the respon
sibility that was upon him as the
presiding officer of the court. VY e
are sure that the friends of Judge
Heck have every reason to be gratifi
ed at his record as Judge.
Sheriff W. O. Gwyn, with Deputy
W. T. Lyle, is waiting ou the court
iu a most satisfactory manner, and
the people of Pike have reason to be
fully satisfied with these officials.
Dr. J. B. Matthews, the clerk, is
at a disadvantage in the present ses
sion, because of the failure of the
court furniture to arrive in time for
use, but nevertheless, he is meeting
the frequent demands made upon
him finely. He discharges all duties
pleasantly and promptly, and is a
most excellent officer.
•Sludge Beck paid a deserved com
pliment to the county commissioners,
Messrs J. T. Gadenhead, E. 0. Akin
and-J. T. Tv us, because of the man
ner in which they looked after the
building of the court nouse. They
have been cautious, carefuL, diligent
and faithful officers and they deserve
the many kind things said about
them. The Gazette is glad that the
names of these three faithful officials
are iu the corner stone of this mag
nificent building, there to live
through yeurs to come.
There is a large attendance of at
torneys at court. Among theca are,
Judge J. S. Boyntou, Cols. T. R.
Mills, Loyd Cleveland, R. T. Daniol,
E- W. Hammond of Griffin, T. B
Felder of Atlanta, M. H. Sandwich of
l'komaston, S. N- Woodward, J. J.
Rogers, J. F, Redding, W. S. YVhit
aker of Barnesville, R. L. Merritt, of
Sparta, and all the Zebulon bar-
There is considerable business to
be transacted. Civil business will
be tried this week, and the criminal
docket will be taken up Monday.
Newsy And Other
wise.
The Gazette not only talks about
Bartlesville but it gets others to do
so, too. The Tbomaston Times says:
Barnesville claims to have more
clubs and more good dubs than any
town in the state.
The Atlanta Comercial says: The
hosiery mill at Barnesville has recent
ly been purchased by Messrs G. E.
Huguley and J. W. btaffoid, two
good business men of that place,and
will again be put in operation.
The Columbus Enquiser-Sun says:
The people of Barnesville are anxious
to see Mr. W. T. Hammond restored
to his former position as conductor
on the Upson County Railroad. There
was never any charge made again s'
him in bis railroad career until his
recent engagement in the hotel bus
ness.
The Griffin Morning Cail save:
TLe young ladies of Barnesville are
organizing a cooking class. That is
well. The youDg ladies of our neigh
boring city have always been noted
for their good looks and taste and
this is but uuother evidence of the
correctness of prevailing impression.
Much improvement will be made
in the Blalock House. Besides other
improvemtnts, Mrs. A. J. Blalock
will at once have the house painte I,
which will add much to its beauty.
This is one of the handsomest homes
in Middle Georgia, and is desirably
located.
It is still a question whether the
fruit was killed by the recent cold.
The prevailing opinion is that it is
not very much damaged. In either
event, the world moves ou.
To lun a newspaper, a man must
have public spirit, a big supply of
discretion,a vast amount of patieuce,
an abundaut quantity of endurance
and forbearance,a deaf ear for unjust
ciiticism and complaint, a spirit to
be just to enemies as well as to
friends, a determination to do well
in spite of all obstacles, and we im
agine that some inouey would lie
quite helpful. But behind the clouds
—yes behind the clouds—the sun
Btill shines, and the clouds ulwayß
pass away.
Cnpt. W. D. Bedding will leave
next Tuesday for Waco, Tex., where
he will spend some months visiting
his. daughter, Mrs. J. AI- Turner.
Capt. Redding has lots of friends
throughout this sectiou who wish
tor him a most enjoyabie visit and a
safe return to Barneaville. A good
man never lacks for friends.
Dr. J. D. Yarbrough, and daugh
ter, Miss Lucia, from Williamson,
were iu Bartlesville Saturday. Dr.
Yarbrough formerly lived iu Barues
ville, and he is one of the best citizens
in the county.
Mr. J. T. Baker, Treasurer of Bike
county, was in Barnesville Saturday
from Zebulou. We understand that
he is not actively a candidate for re
election and there are already several
candidates out for the office. With
out any disparagement to the new
candidates, the Gazette does Dot
hesitate to say that Mr. Baker bus
made a good officer, and we would
like to see him elected again.
Mr. Jackson Dickey, a half broth
er of 001. S.Jff. Woodward,diedat his
home ot Hicaory Grove last Satur
day, after a shoit illness. He was
an exemplary young man, about 22
years old,and was held iu high esteem
where he was known. Cul. Wood
ward attended the funerul Sunday
ast.
Mr. Henry Brittain, of Atlanta,son
of Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Brittain, who
have recently moved to Barnesville,
camo down last Saturday to spend
Sunday with his fathers family. He
is a splendid young man sod made
many trieuds during his short stay,
who hope to have him make frequeut
visits to Barnesville. He has a
good position with Dougherty &.
Murpbey, one of Atlanta’s largest
retail houses, having chage of their
dress goods department.
SILVER WEDDING.
Mr. and Mrs. G. C, Cornell cele
brated their silver wedding last Fri-
Iday, March 20th. They made no
great display by having an elegant
reception hut very quietly aud pleas
antly, happy characteristics of this
most esteemed couple, celebrated
the twenty fifth anniversary of their
marriage.
A pleasant surprise wms in store
however, as the employees of Mr.
Jackson G. Smith, with whose estab
lishment Mr. Cornell has been con
nected for twenty-two years, presen
ted them with a handsome silver tea
set. This was a very pretty and
useful present and it was a happy
tribute to the faithfulness of Mr. Cor
nell aud showed the’esteem with whuh
he is regarded by his fellow employees
The pieces of the silver tea service
are lined with gold, with the excep
tion of the tea pot, and Mr. M. F-
Gorey happily presented it to Mr,
aud Mr?, Cornells behalf of the em
ployees of the shop.
Mr. and Mrs. Cornell are very
highly regarded in Barnesville aud
many of their friends hope they will
enjoy many more wedding anniver
saries.
