Ropers. r/yiY TRADE SO FAR THIS SEASON has been more than satisfactory, yet I must tell my friends and the people gener ally that my stock is as complete as ever. I am constantly receiving NEW GOODS, f and every importation brings something new. The , novelties I am now receiving are the FRESHEST FROM THE DESIGNERS, and weavers, art, and not old last summer’s styles to be palmed of as new. My stock of ORGANDIES, MULLS, MO ZAMBIQUES, CRENADINES, etc., is the very latest and their very freshness puts old shop worn stuff to shame. T)a^s. As to bargains and bargain days, I have con cluded to throw on my bargain counters a line of f goods that can be appreciated as sure enough bar f gains, and I have furthermore concluded to make EVERY DAY A BARGAIN DAY. There is no need to wait till Tuesday or Friday for special I prices, but come to see me, and you can have them any day in the week —except Sunday, of course. fl COULD FILL COLUMNS * telling the people what I Me/ have to offer them, but this \ would consume too v. space, and it might intimidate competitots and force them to desperation.

O Are you watching Barnesville grow ? One of the prettiest sights seen in Barnesville in many a day was aftord ed Monday morning when the Central road’s improvement car backed in on the side track between the new pas senger depot and the post office block. The train consisted of several flat cars loaded with dirt, and more than fifty men were on the cars and it looked ike business when they went to un loading, preparatory to filling in the hollow between the railroad and the business block. A water way of large terracotta has been put in leading from the side walk near the east end of the side track and will connect with the water way at the side walk near Murphey & Black’s shop. All between the depot and the business block will be filled in and leveled, and then covered with chert. It will be a beautiful improvement, and it has been very favorably commented upon by everybody. Much appreciation of this work by the railroad authorities has been expressed by Mayor Hugu ley and the entire citizenship of Bar nesville. It will certainly wonderful ly improve and greatly beautify the place. It indicates that the railway offi cials recognize the enterprise and liberality of Barnesville and want to aid in its progress and prosperity. The work is being pushed rapidly and in a few days the improvement can be appreciated. Another New Residence. Last week Mr. Edgar L. Rogers sold his home on Forsyth street to Mr. A. J. Shearouse of Effingham county. Mr. Shearouse has been a patron of Gordon Institute for some time, and has decided to move his family to Barnesville. The home pur chased by Mr. Shearouse is a splen did one, and his family will be cor dially welcomed to Barnesville. Mr. Edgar L. Rogers, who is one of Barnesville’s big merchants and wealthy citizens, will give possession in a short time. He will erect a tem pory, five room dwelling about where his barn is now located. Later Mr. Rogers will erect him a handsome residence. He proposes to put up one of the handsomest residences in Barnesville, but the details have not been fully decided upon, and he will take time to get everything in satisfac tory shape before he begins work. The improvements which he will make will add mnch to Barnesville. Plant to be Enlarged. The Georgia Underwear Cos. is en larging its plant. Work has already commenced on a brick addition, which will be used for a fleecing room. This is necessary in the production of winter goods, and the present build ing was not large enough. The rock and brick for the additional building are being placed on the ground, and the erection will begin as soon as masons can be secured. Mr. A. O. Murphey, the manager for the company, reports the opera tions of the mill in good condition every way. The plant is a splendid one for Barnesville. Dwelle Place Sold- Col. J. J. Rogers, representing the administratior, sold the Dwelle place, on the premises, at one o’clock Tues day afternoon. It was sold in this manner to perfecttit[es, an agreement having previously been made. The place was bid by Mrs. J. W. Adams and the price named was $1750. New Citizen And New Residence Mr. Edgar L. Rogers has sold a lot on Forsyth street to Mr. F. M. Means, of Lamont. Mr. Means will build a residence on this lot in about two months and will move his family here, placing several children in Gor don Institute. Mr Means is a well known citizen and Barnesville will welcome his coming. Business Doubles- Mr. A. L. Mills is very much grati fieu at the increase in his business. It has doubled over the same period for last year, and the prospects for the future are flattering. There can be but one cause for this—when people go to this store they get what they want at satisfactory prices. Mr. Mills is carrying a good line of goods and he is dealing fairly with the public. fl NEW GHURGH. o According to announcement made sometime ago, a Congregational Methodist church was organized in Barnesville Sunday afternoon. The audience assembled in City Hall, where Dr. Rolfe Hunt preached an able sermon, after which the church was organized. The church was constituted with sixteen members, and at the night service there were two additions by experience, making a total of 18 members. Rev. Rolfe Hunt was chosen as pastor, Mr. T. J. Ogletree was elect ed secretary, Rev. George W. Stocks, church leader, and Messrs. John Col lier and C. E. Stocks stewards. At the evening service, Rev. 1,. B. Wilson of Katonton preached an able sermon to a good congregation. Those interested in the church were very much gratified at the start made and are verv hopeful for the future of the church. The next service will be held in the City Hall on the sth Sunday in May. There will be preaching at 11 o’clock a. m. and at night. Dr. Rolfe Hunt, the pastor, is one of the most consecrated and ablest young minis ters in the state. The Gazette re joices at the organization of the church and bids it God speed in its mission. ft Great Auditorium- Work on the great auditorium is being pushed with great energy now, and every possible effort will be made to have the building ready in ample time for Commencement. It is a mammoth building and it is being put up with every care, and will in all probability be very satisfactory to the people of Barnesville when it is completed. It is now almost ready for the plasterers. The city council is already arranging for seats, and Mr. A. O. Bennett, the contractor, is bending every energy toward making it a most creditable building. Those who have charge of looking after the work, have expressed great satisfac tion at the manner in which Mr. Ben nett is doing the work. It has been said that Gordon Insti tute will have the largest school chap el in the world. Whether this is true or not, it nothing less than mammoth in its size. Twentu Acres In Mellons. Messrs. Edgar L. Rogers and L. E. Veal are partners in a big water melon field, and they hope to be very successful in the melon business. Mr. Rogers furnishes twenty acres of land back of his home for the melons and Capt. Veal will- plant and work them. They are partners in the pro ceeds. Every body hopes they will be successful in the enterprise. It IS Well. A prominent citizen said this week that for the first time since the fire in 1884, the Central rail road seemed to be willing to aid Barnesville in its ef forts toward improvement. The same citizen said further that Mayor Huguley deserved much credit for this state of things. It is well that this condition exists. Painting Up. Mr. Wap Summers has considerably improved his home on Forsyth street, by putting or. several coats of paint. This was clone a few days ago, and is an example which oihers might well follow. Cordon Institute Catalogue- The matter for the catalogues for Gordon Institute is in the hands of the printer and Prof. Kemp, acting president, says they will be out indue time for distibution and circulation. It will be a handsome catalogue. Chrysanthemum AM Flower Show. The ladies of Barnesville are already beginning preparations for the flower show to be held next fall. The last show was a magnificent success and they propose to even surpass the last one. It is a movement that means much good and we feel that every en couragement possible should be ex tended the ladies in the efforts they will put forward in this direction. A FRICANA will cure Rheumatism and Scrofula to Stay Cured. Gan you See, Well ? I KEEP fl FULL LINE OF Keiiam & Moore’s Spectacles And Gan Fit Your Eues-and Your PoGket, see? ;• H. BLgCbBHHN P vS.
