VOL. 31 SUBSCRIPTION SI.OO
A Railroad to Pump Station.
Barnesville is to have a railroad to the pump station, and
this means more advantages and more opportunities for the
city. For some time Mayor Smith has been in correspondence
with the Central authorities about the enterprise, and they
have now decided to run a track from the main line to the
waterworks station, which is about one mile. Surveyors
have been here all the week and have surveyed several routes.
The prime purpose of the road is to haul coal to the sta
tion, but it means much more than this. It means a mile of
new locations for manufactories and they will come as sure
as this trackage is put down. The Central is liberal with
Barnesville in this enterprise as it only asks for the right of
way to be given. The road will bear all other expenses of
the line. It will be announced in a few days which route is
the most suitable and then work will begin. There was never
a time in the history of Barnesville when it was so necessaiy
to have an absolutely united citizenship for progress and
prosperity. Things are coming Barnesville’s way and the
future grows brighter and more encouraging. This railroad,
though but a mile long, opens up greater possibilites for
Barnesville, and The Gazette puts the public on notice
again to “watch Barnesville grow !’’
fl New Warehouse.
Here is another important enterprise for Barnesville and
for every farmer in Middle Georgia. Messrs. J. W. Stafford
& Sons and Mr. J. T. Blalock have arranged to run a ware
house in Barnesville throughout the coming cotton season and
they will weigh all cotton absolutely free to the cotton
planters.
A nice brick office, 16x16 feet, a large shed and scales,
and a plotform 30x90 feet, will be put up immediately on
the vacant lot between the engine house and the Summers
Buggy factory on Forsyth street. Mr. Blalock will have
charge of the scales and look largely after the business.
They have every advantage for saving money for cotton
planters and it will bring many a bale of cotton to Barnes
ville. This is another evidence that the people of Barnes
ville are friends of the people of Middle Georgia-
Third Fruit Market south.
Barnesville is growing, sure enough. In recent years
splendid progress has been made in the fruit industry and it
s
will doubtless be a source of surprise to many people to
know that Barnesville is the third largest fruit shipping point
in the south. This season’s crop brought it up to this posi
tion. The railroad company is authority for this statement.
There is a strong probability that in a year or two Barnes
ville will stand first. There are several large young orchards
in the community which will probably bear fruit next year,
and other orchards will be set out. Of course the peach is
the principal crop and it is now conceded that the Barnes
ville peach is the finest peach produced. It is gratifying that
Barnesville is now the third largest fruit shipping point in
the south.
A Pretty Trap.
One of the prettiest vehicles re
cently brought to Barnesville is a
double trap, just purchased by Mr.
Robert Mitchell, for use in his livery
business. It is a real handsome ve
hicle and no doubt it will be very
popular among those who drive.

BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1898.
Dr. W. F- Gonnallg Dead-
o
Another bright, noble young man
has fallen a victim of death. This
time it is Dr. William F. Connally,
who died last Friday after an illness of
many months. The announcement
was not unexpected but it carried sad
ness into every heart. For a year or
so past, Dr. Connally has been in
failing health and sometime ago, it
was realized that his days were num
bered and that consequently he would
soon be called upon to pass over the
river of death and rest from pain and
sorrows of life. The end came peace
fully and a Christian’s soul went to its
mansion in the skies.
Dr. Connally was about twenty six
years old and was the son ot Mrs. J.
H. Connally. His father and several
brothers and sisters have already pre
ceeded him to the grave. He was a
dentist and had begun to build up a
nice practise when disease came upon
him and he had to retire. He was a
model young man in every particular.
He was always amiable and pleasant,
made friends wherever he went, and
was exceedingly kind and charitable
toward his fellow men. He was a
consistent member of the Methodist
church and was a true Christian.
The funeral services were conduct
ed from the home on Forsyth street,
Saturday afternoon, by Dr. J. M.
Brittain, in the presence of a large
congregation of people. Afterwards
the remains were interred in the
Methodist cemetery.
The whole community extends its
warmest sympathy to the bereaved
family in this another hour of sorrow.
Making Soda Water.
Barnesville has anew enterprise.
It is a factory for making bottled soda
water. Mr. R. C. Ludwick arrived in
the city several days ago from Lees
burg, Fla., and engaged at once in
making soda water. He is located
at present on Market street and has
all his apparatus in good shape. He
is shipping cases of his soda water to
Thomaston and Forsyth, and expects
to do a nice business. He hopes to
secure larger quarters soon, when he
will be better prepared for enlarging
his business. He makes a good ar
ticle.
FINE MOWER AND RAKE.
I have a fine mower and rake for
sale. J. W. Hightower.
Tillman Buys a Barnesville Buggy.
Hon. Benjamin R. Tillman, senator
from South Carolina, who made such
a magnificent speech at the Barnes
ville chautauqua in July, has just pur
chased from Jackson G. Smith & Sons
a beautiful phaeton. It was built ex
pressly for the senator and is a fine,
handsome phaeton. It was shipped
Tuesday of this week. Barnesville is
proud of the Senator's order.
How frequently
■ woman asks this question! How much
thought and study she devotes to it! It if
natural. A woman hates to think that sh_-
is growing day by day less charming and
attractive and youthful to her husband’s
eyes than in the days of courtship.
A woman may always retain her charms
and the vivacity and freshness of youth if
she will take the proper care of her health.
A tremendous percentage of ill health in
women is due to weakness and disease of
the distinctly feminine organism. I)r.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is an unfail
ing remedy for all disorders of this nature.
It allays inflammation, heals ulceration,
stops debilitating drains and soothes and
tones the nerves. It preserves in a woman
all the charm of healthy youth. Thou
sands of women have testified to its mar
▼elous merits.
“ Favorite Prescription ” is sold by all re
spectable dealers in medicines. Ileal only
where you are honestly treated. Any store
keeper who tries to give you a substitute
for what you demand is not treating you
honestly and you should take your trade
elsewhere.

The following was in the last issue
of the last issue of the Chrissian In
dex, written from Hamilton, Ga.:
‘•Our church has just passed
through a gracious revival, under the
leadership of I)r. J. M. Brittain. This
good and faithful brother has been
given a month’s vacation by his
church in Barnesville, and he kindly
consented to spend the first part of it
in laboring among us. Day and night
for ten days he preached to good and
attentive congregations, having no
help except the 00-operation of the
members.
“Asa visible result of these earnest
efforts, Bro. Brittain led four follow
ers of the meek and lowly Nazarene
into the Baptismal waters Sunday
night, in the presence of a large con
gregation.
“The presence and power of the
Holy Spirit was with us from start to
finish in the meeting. On Monday
morning a thanksgiving service was
held and the parting hand was given
to our dear brother.
“We bless God for this gracious
out pouring of His spirit.”
