THE BARNESVILLE GAZETTE. VOL. 31 SUBSCRIPTION SI.OO ■Clataip Stockholders Meet. o The stockholders of the Barnesville 'Chautauqua Association held a meet ing in the city hall Tuesday after noon. All the old directors and offi cers were re-elected for the ensuing year. Reports of the officers * were very gratifying to the stockholders. PRESIDENT smith's REPORT. The Gazette publishes, in part, >the report of President W. B. Smith, regarding the affairs of the Chautau qua Association: In making a report for the direct ■ors ot your association, I have found it'difficult to confine myself strictly to the facts and figures, because there are some points qf congratulations which may not properly belong in this report, upon which I feel con strained to touch. The programme which was presented by your associa tion, stripped of every cent except that actually paid to ilecturers, musi cians, etc., cost $1,275. believe it was worth every cent it cost, and snore. Of it Gov. Taylor said: “I ilook upon it as remarkable that the first session 01 your Chautauqua •should have surpassed any Chautau qua which has ever assembled at Monteagle in my State, where years of experience are back of the man agement.” State School Commis sioner Glenn, as you know, said that it was the heaviest program ever pre sented in Georgia. Senator Tillman wrote since returning to his home in South Carolina, that “no educa tional gathering in his State has equalled it in size or character.' 1 In •fact we feel that we are all too close to the mountain to properly appreci ate its magnitude just yet. We feel that we have laid a foundation sure and strong on which we can build safely and grandly. I must ad mit that when your directors first be gan to cast about for lecturers, to urge upon the various counties and teachers co-operation in the institute work, and to press the railroads for .special rates, schedules and accom modations, { felt that experience and precedent and past successes were lacking, and would have aided great er. But we had courage and energy, and before the Chautauqua opened we felt assured of success and that there would be a peculiarity of indi viduality about the Chautauqua, in that it would differ from all other chautauquas in that it would be a Barnesville Success. The intelli gence, push and capital of Barnesville were in it and such unified efforts not only deserved but commanded suc cess. As I have said, the programme itself was an investment of $1,275. The item of telegrams, telephones, freight and express amounted to S3O. Printing of letter heads, programs, ' flyers and posters, $75. Stamps sls, Advertising, $65. Moving of desks for teachers’ institute, janitor and other-help, sls. Charter $lO. Lo cal bills, $55. Medal for Wedemey er, SB. All of which has been paid and your capital stock untouched. The 10 per cent, assessment which you paid is in the treasury and a net profit of $123 besides. 1 The board of directors has ordered a 4 per cent, dividend, which amounts to $1 on each share or a profit of $1 on the $2.50 w'hich you invested. This has been credited to each stockholder on his stock. This places in the treas ury about $375, which your new board of directors, to be elected this after noon, will likely place at interest till needed next year. For your information and the as sistance ot your next board of direc tors, I will state that the season tick ets sold to Barnesville citizens were 300, to teachers who were in attend ance on the institute 175, and to vis itors and country people about 25, making a total of 500. It is safe to count on every citizen who had a ticket this year to have one next, every visitor who was here this year will be here next, and no man from the country who attended this year will be missing next. In fact, all the above classes will likely buy more tickets. A factor in the great suc cess of this chautauqua, and in fact the back-bone of the movement and one which must receive the best at tention of the association at all times is the Inter-County Institute. It is therefore evident that this department of our work must have the best efforts of your directors. The teachors who were here pronounced the Institute and the work of the chautauqua be yond their greatest expectations, and in resolutions unanimously passed commended them in the highest terms. I made it a point to welcome them coming and going, and without an exception the county commission ers and teachers assured me of their at tendance next year. With proper work this feature will certainly grow rapidly, and I think should in a few years stake Barnesville the Mecca, as it were, of the leading educators of the State during Chautauqua week. Of all the troubles surmounted by your directors this year, those at the hands of the railroads were the worst. With the grand success which we have had this year, we think that their hearty co-operation is assured for the future. T hey have assured me of as much. Your new board of directors will have practically 12 months in which to prepare a program, instead of two, and doubtless they will proceed con fidently to the task after their elec tion this afternoon. Epworth League Service. Next Sunday morning the Epworth League will hold a service at the Methodist- church, at 11 o'clock. There will probably be no other ser vices in the city at that hour. The Epworth League officers give a cor dial invitation to everybody to attend this service. The following is the program: Opening Song—Quartet. ' Song—“ Spread the Tidings.”—267. Song—“ All the World foi Jesus” — 186. Prayer. Song—“ Sweet Peace.”— 241. Scripture Lesson—l Cor. 3:16-23; Prov. 23:29-32. Solo—Mrs. Homer Bush. Address—Prof. E. A. Pound. Quartet. Address—Dr. T. J. Watts. Song—“ Scatter Sunshine”— 7. Prayer. Song— “I Want to be a Worker”— 244- Announcements. 1 loxology. Prayer. Two Items From Madison. The following two items from the last issue of the Madisonian will be of interest to the readers of The Ga zette : “Miss Lealia Pattillo went down to Greensboro on Wednesday morning to visit her cousin for a few days, after which she will return to her home in Barnesville. She will not teach at Enterprise academy as stat ed our first page. The patrons of the school regret that they will not be able to secure the services of Miss Pattillo for another term, as she was so highly esteened by both pupils and patrons.” “Miss Dollie Rogers, of Barnes ville, is one of the sponsors at the re union in Atlanta this week. Miss Rogers is well remembered here, hav ing been one of the most popular visitors our city has ever entertained. She will probably visit Mrs. H. L. Simmons in this place before return ing to her home in Barnesville.” Attend the Lawn Party. Last Friday night Miss Bessie Floyd had a lawn party at the home of her father at Brent, in Monroe County. She invited a number of Barnesville people and every one who accepted had a most enjoyable time. All say it was a very plesant party. Those who went out from Barnes ville were: Misses Lily Turner, Elorie Elder, Corinne Elder, Emmie Matthews, Carrie Bloodworth, Maud Murphey; Messrs. Bert Milner. Merritt Thur man. Robt. Middlebrcoks, Harold Murphey, Norvin Maloney, Shi Gray. They Return. Capt. John F. Howard and all the men of his company who were home on furloughs, returned to their regi ment last Friday. Their visit home was greatly enjoyed by themselves and by their relatives and friends. Rumors are frequent as to movements of the Second regiment, to which the Barnesville company belongs, but it yet remains to be seen what the regi ment will be called upon to do. It is predicted that it will make a repu tation when it has an opportunity. . FOR SALE. One dozen, full-blooded, barred Plymouth Rock Roosters. R. L. Swatts. BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JULY 28. 1898. Judge J. S. Boynton 111. Judge James S. Boynton, well known and greatly honored by the people of Pike county, is quite ill at his home in Griffin. He is an ex governor of the State and a member of the present legislature. Judge Boynton has been in bad health for a number of months, and during the session of the last legisla ture it was only by the exertion of great energy that he \yas able to re main there. As soon as the legisla ture adjourned he returned to his home and has been there since. He was seized with an attack of grip, which, in addition to his other troubles, rendered his condition alarming. Physicians w*ere called in and everything that science could suggest was done. Under the care of these physicians and the nurses Judge Boynton became better, and it was thought he was on the road to recovery. Some days ago, however, he suffer ed a relapse and since then his con dition has been precarious. Judge Boynton is one of the best-known men in the State. He was president of the senate at the time of the death of the late Alexander H. Stephens, and consequently succeeded to the governorship. He in than was succeeded by Gov ernor McDaniel. Since then Judge Boyton has been a prominent figure in State politics and he has been given a number of positions of trust by his constituents. His many friends hope that he will soon be restored to health. We hope he may yet be spared for many years. Traveling Blind Tiger. There is something new under the sun. Or rather it seems to be some thing new. There was captured last Sunday near the limits of Barnesville a “Traveling Blind Tiger.” The owner of this an imal was Charles Castleberry, colored, for he so acknowledged before Mayor Smith Monday morning in the May or's court, where he was fined SSO or 30 days on the streets for owning sudh a thing. Castleberry was caught, Sunday by a plan laid by the vigilant officers, Marshall Collier and Deputy Evans. When captured he had with him four gallons of whisky. He was fully pre pared for business. He ha<j a small funnel, wine glass, and bottles hold ing a quart, pint and half pint. Ap parently his out-fit was complete and was prepared for a thriving business. When brought up for trial Monday morning Castleberry plead guilty and Mayor Smith laid upon him the pen alty mentioned above. If there are others to engage in this business there officers will get them. Time will seal their doom as it ought to do. 111111 IllllllllWlllllllllllllir — 'M 0 Th* carr ' ;, i? e of a CJ /Hr buzz-saw doesn’t I IHi Y ill Sr move very fast, but jjUjl Jr z if a man stays on it Ilf ■v iMr / lonjf enough he wilt J V ijjr i|J presently be sawn ■ Lftr A ll asunder. The pro -1 M 111 I cess of gradual liw*! If bodily decline and loss of energy which leads finally to con sumption is not always very rapid, but if It isn’t stopped it will presently begin to saw its way into the most vital part of the body, the lungs. There would be very little consumption if every family would keep Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery in the house, and use it whenever feel ing “out of sorts.” It keeps the entire body in such a high condition of health and forcefulness that wasting diseases have no chance to get a foot-hold. A teaspoon ful or two before meals, in a little water, gives the digestive organism power to as similate the blood-making, nerve-toning, strength - building properties of the food. It enables the liver and excretory system to clear the circulation of bilious poisons and remove all waste matter from the body. It replaces worn out tissue with hard mus cular flesh, and changes weakness and debility into active power and nerve force. The originator of this great “ Discovery.” R. V. Pierce, M. D., is chief consulting physician to the great Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y., at the head of a staff of nearly a score of eminent associate physicians and surgeons. He has acquired, in his over thirty years of active practice, a reputation second to no living physician in the treatment of obstinate, chronic diseases. His prescriptions must not be confounded with the numerous “boom” remedies, “extracts,” "com pounds,” and “ sarsaparilla*,” which a profit-seeking druggist is often ready to urge as a substitute. Dr. Pierce’s medi cines are the product of wide experience and deep study. Any one may consult him by mail free of charge. One Minute Cough Cure, cures. That ia what it was trade for.
