Hu guley purchased from Mr. Louis Hamburger of Columbus, and Mr. J. A. Davis of Smarrs, joint owners, the vacant mill lot, on Greenwood street, containing about acres. On this vacant and very valuable lot, Mr. Huguley, associated with Mr. J. B. P. Milner, will begin at once the erection of a large two story gin nery, which they will complete and put in operation for the next fall sea son. The ginnery will be completely equipped with the very latest machin ery in every department. Three or four gins will be put in, and every piece of machinery will be the very best and very latest pattern. Everything will be new—new engine, new boiler, new gins, new apparatus throughout, and when a load of the fleecy staple is carried to this ginnery, it will be un loaded through the suction system, ginned and baled with scarcely no trouble at all. It will be one of the best and completest ginneries in mid dle Georgia. It is a big enterprise for Barnesville. It will bring many a bale of cotton to this market. Mr. Milner, who has been living in South Georgia for the past few years, will move back to Barnesville at once and will have the management of the gin nery. He is experienced in such en terprises and it will be successful. Barnesville secures a fine institution and gains thereby a splendid citizen and family. Mr. Huguley states also that it is probable that anew building for the Stafford-Huguley Hosiery Cos. will be erected on this lot, as the mill can utilize the motive power of the gin nery. The fact is, the new enterprise is one of promising possibilities, and Barnesville has great reason to con gratulate itself again, in being so for tunate as to have such a valuable plant put in operation. The Gazette says, with a will, success to Messrs. Huguley and Milner.

Hunt stated that two old confederates had died in this com munity within the last week. The fact was that three had died since last Friday. The old confederates are passing away. They have fought their good fight, and are fast receiving their rewards. As they face death, one by one, we wish that every one of them could die triumphant in the faith; as they are crossing the river of death, we wish that every one of them could cross successfully and with one of their great leaders, “rest in the shade of the trees,” in the eternal kingdom. MR. MAYS DIES. Mr. J. J. Mays a citizen, well known in Barnesville and throughout this section, died in this city last Friday morning at the home of Dr. J. L. Fogg. For some time his health had been failing rapidly and a few months ago, he moved from his home in the country, to the home of Dr. Fogg, where he could be better cared for in his last days. Day by day he grew weaker, and his loved ones realized that the time of his departure would soon come. Friday morning last, he died. He was about sixty years of age, and was a man who had many friends. He was a successful man and good citizen and he leaves many loved ones to mourn his death. The funeral services were held at the home of Dr. Fogg, and were con ducted by Dr. J. M. Brittain. Un dertaker Summers interred the re mains in the old Jenkins family burial ground. MR. REVIERE DIES. Mr. Thomas R. Reviere, one of the pioneer citizens of this section, died last Saturday morning, in his 69th year. For a year or two he has been failing rapidly and a few weeks ago, he grew worse and day by day death came the closer to him. The etld came Saturday morning, and sur rounded by relatives and friends he peacefully passed away. He had been one of the foremost citizens of this section. He had hosts of friends and loved ones, all of whom mourn the loss sustained in his death. The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. W. S. Stevens, who spoke tenderly of the departed, and the re mains were then interred by Under taker Summers in Greenwood ceme tery. MR. KNOTT DIES. Closely after these other two old heroes, followed Mr. John S. Knott, who died in this city Monday morning early. His death was a surprise to nearly everybody. During the war he was wounded and was a pensioner. Then for some years he has been partially paralyzed, so much that it was with great difficulty that he got about over over town. A few days ago, he was taken suddenly sick and almost before anyone bad missed him from the streets, he was dead. He was somewhere about sixty years old. His remains were taken to Rocky Springs, Butts county by Undertaker Smith, for interrment. The funeral services were held at Rocky Springs Tuesday and the sermon was preach ed by Rev. Rolfe Hunt, Mr. Knott j belonging to the Congregational Methodist church. The Gazette, having known all three of these old men, with a heart full of sympathy for the sorrowing loved ones, and in appreciation of the friendship which existed between them and us, we would say very ten derly, “Peace to their ashes,” and eternal joy to their souls. Officers Elected- Last Saturday at a meeting of the Shakespearean Club at Miss Kate Huff’s, an election of officers was held which resulted as follows: Mrs. J. M. Cochrane, President. Mrs. S. L. Taylor, Ist vice-president. Mrs. A, M. Lambdin, 2nd vice president. Miss Nannie Howard, 3rd vice president. Miss Lily Turner, Secretary. Miss Greer Steed, Treasurer. Mrs. J. F. Neely, Corresponding Secretary. The club is in splendid condition. The members hope to change the Constitution increasing the limit of membership, as there are quite a num ber of applications on hand and the membership is already up to the limit of the Constitution.
