THE BARNESVILLE GAZETTE. VOL. 31 SUBSCRIPTION SI.OO S7O,OOOJN6REfISL The city tax assessors of Barnesville, Messrs. John T. Hunt, Otis A. Mrrphey and Robert L. Swatts, have completed their work and the result is very gratifying to the citizens. The assessors scarcely raised the valuation of any property in the city, but there is an actual increase in the amount of the taxable property of Barnesville, for 1898 over 1897 of $69,163, or in round numbers, $70,000. The total last year was $868,922, while this year, it is $937,085. This is indeed gratifying as it shows an absolute growth of $70,000 in the city’s property. This increase is in new business enterprises, new homes and in various improvements throughout the city. It is a record which is exceedingly gratifying to the citizens of Barnesville. Another Brick Building. There is another improvement of importance assured for Barnesville. Mr. J- L. Kennedy has purchased the vacant lot between the store occupied by the Alurphey Mercantile Cos., and the shop of Murphey & Black, extending from Zebulon street to Granite warehouse. On this lot Mr. Kennedy will erect a brick building, an addition to Granite warehouse, Box 120 feet. This large building will of course be considered a part of the warehouse. Mr. Kennedy will make every im provement possible that will aid in making Barnesville the very best cotton market possible. He will have every accom modation for handling all the cotton that can be brought to Barnesville. He will not only be in the market to pay the high est price possible for every bale, but he says that Barnesville will have a number of the livest cotton men in the state here through the entire season. He is going to do all that he can to make Barnesville the best cotton market in the state. His warehouse facilities will be ample and the improvements which he is to make are important to Barnesville and the surrounding country.

Love that Alter*. “ Love i* not love that alters when It alteration finds." That is one of the subliniest lines in all literature. It is the final definition of love by the world’s greatest reader of the human mind, — Shakespeare. Nearly all women who truly love, love in this sublime way. Men seldom do. Woman’s most glorious endowment is the power to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on, no one in the wide world can know the heart agony she endures. The woman who suffers from weakness and derangement of her special womanly organism soon loses the power to sway the heart of a man. Her general health suffers and she loses her good looks, her attractiveness, her amia bility and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N.Y., with the assistance of his staff of able phy sicians, has prescribed for many thousands of women. He has devised a perfect and scientific remedy for women’s ailments. It is known as Dr. Pierce’s favorite Prescrip tion. It is £ positive specific for all weak nesses, diseases, disorders, displacements, irregularities, and debilitating drains pe culiar to women. It purifies, regulates, strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers sell it, and no honest dealer will advise you to accept a substitute that he may make a little larger profit. I was afflicted with kidney trouble and I have always had a torpid liver," writes Mrs. K. Crosswhite, of Duffau. Krath Cos., Texas When I commeneed vour medicine I was not able to stand on my feet. I used one bottle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and five vials of his ‘ Pleasant Pellets.' I am now well. I had not walked in four months when I commenced the treatment; but in tea days I was able to walk everywhere.” They Picnic at Lifsey’s. Another party ot Barnesville peo ple had a pleasant picnic at Lifsey's Springs last Friday. They left the city early in the morning and jeturn ed late in the evening.
