THE FLORAE CITY
Has many attractions, one of which is
the Cash Store. It is identified with the
home folk and has a profitable acquain
tance with' stiangers. It solicits a visit
from all who eat and patronage from all
who pay. The friends and customers
who have shown an interest in its suc
cess have sunk a well of gratitude as
deep as Jacob’s. Spot cash establish
ments aie rare; they fail to prosper for
well-grounded reasons. Sometimes the
goods take root on the shelves—mine
hardly catch their balance before they
are off and gone whiie the silver rattles
to the tune of “(food-bye, my lover,
good-bye.” Sometimes towns can’t sup
port them. I knew one to fail in Atlan
ta, yea, even in New York, hut you just
watch the lfarnesville Cash Store grow,
like flowers in the Floral City. I claim
none of the credit of such success; credit
doesn’t pass here, hut 1 attribute it to
the fact, that I reside at
BARNESVILLE, Gfl.
You can’t mention her iloWerti willmut
turning your thoughts to her fruit. My
fruit jars are flying like chafi before the
wind. I have a suppy of tin cans, easier
to manage than the ulass, and if wash
ed as soon as emptied will do to use un
til they wear out. They are cheap.
Take advice in this matter; spend every
nickel you can “rake, scrape and bor
row” for cans and sugar and put up
fruit as long as you have a stick of stove
wood cut.
The trees will he exhausted next year
from this wonderful crop and you won't
get peacnes for the asking. If canned
right and kept in a dark, cool place they
will keep like wine. Light destroys the
taste as completely as it does colorjp
Don’t forget the good, old _ pre
serves. If your family numoers i. half
dezen you ought to buy a barrel of su
gar. The man who buys meat and lard
for his table and thinks be has done his
duty is too much akin to the animal he
subsists on to he easily led to a state
of culture and refinement that ean fully
appreciate fruit as food and flowers as
essential. Let him kick and squeal if
be will only buy sugar.
The people In the country have the
advantage now. They don’t have fruit
and wood to buy, I want to swap cans
and sugar for butter, eggs and chickens.
I’ll sell rye iu a purer state than you
can Hud it at the “tank," I sell it by
dry measure in broad open ,dav time.
Plant now so your horse will by fat all
svinter.
I’ll mention some of the city s minor
attractions later on.
Yours with a full liana,
JOE VV. REEVES.

A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP.
The relationship which the baking
powders bear towards our health is Dom
ing to be appreciated.
There is no doubt that the Indigestion
and dyspepsia of whhdi many Americans
complain are caused by the iudiscrim:>to
use of alum baking powders. These
baking powders, from their lower price,
from the persistency with which they
are advertised as pure cream of tarter
powders, or from the tempting schemes
with which they are offered, are being
purchrsed by many houskeepers. That
alum baking powders are unwholesome
is a fact as well established as that
arsenic is a poison. There must accord
ingly be the greatest care exercised by
the housewife to keep them from her
food. A chemical analysis only will ex
pose their true character. Even the price
at which they are sold is not always a
mark to identify them.
There is certain safety in the me of
tiie well kiiow ii brand, Royal Baking
Powder. The Royal is not only certified
by the Government Chemists free from
alum and from all adulteration, hut
every housewife feels a eonfidenoe when
using it which she cannot have with any
other powder. It is made front ohemi
cally pure cream of tartar, and Is actual
]y an anti-dyspeptic, promoting digestion
and adding to the wholesomeness of the
food.
Looking lor a (a nip.
Lieutenant Normoyle, adjutant of
the famous fighting Fifth United
States regiment, regulars, was in
Barnesville Tuesday, looking for a
camp. He was taken in charge by
Mayor Smith and a number of citizens
and shown thp grounds about the city.
He looked at several plapps tqat wil|
suit for the camp, but he oth*r
places to visit before a decision is
reached. The matter will be settled
in a few days.
This is the crack regiment of the
army and they are said to be a first
class set of men, and the discipline of
the regiment is also said to be fine.
They will turn loose about $25,000
per month in Barnesville if the regi
ment is located here.
HOW TO LOOK GOO IK
flood looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gaiio, Jf thfl liver be inactive, you
have a bilious look ; if your stomach
be disordered, you have a dyspeptic
look; if your kidneys be affected, you
have a pinched look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have good
looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good
Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly 1
on the stomach, liver and kidneys. |

.4 Pleasant Party.
(Juite a pleasant party of friends
gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
E. W. Rose on last Monday night
where they were entertained delight
fully with music and games. The
inimatable couple, Mr. Jimmie Coch
rans and Mr. C. T. Tyler with their
songs and speeches added greatly to
the pleasures of the evening. Light
refreshments were served, and at a
late hour the guests departed.
For Our Sick Soldiers-
.—o
Editor Gazette:— ln your valu
able paper of July 28, there appeared
an article from Mrs. R. E. Park, Ma
con, Ga., as vice-pres. of Army and
Navy League Sixth Con. Hist, in
behalf of “Our Sick Soldiers," asking
the “generous public of Barnesville
to assist in emergency of contributing
old and new sheets, pillow cases, tow
els and underclothing, and jellies and
similar delicacies for those sick at
both Fort McPherson and Tampa,
Fla.” She asked for a quick response
and for such contributions or money
to be sent to me for forwarding to the
president, Mrs. Atkinson.
J have waited, hoping Barnesville’s
people would heed the appeal with
out further solicitation op my part.
Wo, Barnesville housewives, are not
manifesting the kindred spirit of our
mothers and grand dames of 1861 65.
Southern women were anxious to re
lieve the needs of the soldier then—
denying themselves amid more mea
ger circumstances. Are we not now
more sympathetic to our united sol
diery than to he willing for this ap
peal to be ignored of our “mite”?
I beg to state to the Barnesville
people, this appeal is still open and 1
will receive any of these articles or
money at my home until next Mon
day night—after that date I shall
make report to the Army and Navy
League. Thanks for your kind inter
est. Mrs. J. L.

We write this article to urge
our friends to see that their

ed a purifier, a regulator. It works
directly upon the delicate, distinctly
fernirile organs, in a natural, soothing
way. It searclies out the weak spots

would understand herself should send
21 cents to the World’s Dispensary, Buf
