Maior HawKs on me Chautauqua.
i
Hon. A. W. Hawks, the funny man, who „was at the
Barnesville Chautauqua some time ago, had the following in
the last issue of Talent, of New' York City, the chautauqua
organ tor the United States:
Barnesville is way down in Georgia. 1 never heard of
it until my bureau sent me my contract, then 1 looked it up
and liked it a little bit. Now 1 love it.
Why?
Because they know how to run a Chautauqua.
When I arrived in Barnesville every bell in town was
ringing, everv whistle blowing. Every man, woman, child
and dog was down at the depot and each one carried a Star
Spangled Banner.
“What’s the matter?” 1 asked. “Are you giving the
Fourth of July an encore?” “Chautauqua going on,” they
said. Ar.d 1 found that everybody in that town was intense
ly interested in that Chautauqua.
When they had anything going on at the Auditorium,
whether it was morning, noon or night, all the stores shut up
tight. The Auditorium is a dream of beauty, lighted by
electricity, cooled by electric fans, tine folding opera chairs,
a seating capacity of 2500. The stage is roomy, the drop
and scenery very fine. The audiences are a thing of beauty
and a joy forever. Liberal with their applause, they go off
like a lucifer match, and they treat you—oh, how they do
treat you. You are not allowed to walk at all, their elegant
home is your home. They feed you on fried chicken, Geor
gia watermelons, Georgia peaches and other delicacies. They
wake you up in the middle of the night to find out if you
are hungry. They escort you to the depot and their good
byes are as warm as their welcome.
Their Chautauqua this year was a success every way.
They had a magnificent band, the finest lady pianist 1 ever
heard and the best of We platform speakers.
They made will make more next year, be
cause they give a long pull, a strong pull and a pull to
gether. A. W. Hawks.
It is but proper to say that Mr. Hawks was a guest of
Mr. Edgar L. Rogers and family while in Barnesville, which
evidently added much to his pleasure.
two Handsome New Dwellings.
Barnesville is to have 2 handsome new residences;
They are to be erected at once on Thomaston street, just be
low the home of Mr. Edward Elder.
$
This week Mrs. F. J. Minhinnett, of Roswell, Ga., pur
chased the lot next to Mr. Elder, and on the lot she will erect
a handsome ten room residence, equipped with all the con
veniences. It will be a very valuable and beautiful home.
The lot next to Mrs. Minhinnett has been purchased by
Mr. Euce Elder aud he will also build. He will erect a
handsome home, twelve rooms, having all the latest con
veniences. It will be a magnificent home; erected specially
for accommodating boarders-
The erection of these two residences will be a great im
provement for Barnesville and the citizens rejoice at the
good news.
Work Goins On.
The addition to the Hanson-Craw
ley Cos., Kennedy’s warehouse, and
the Staftord & Blalock warehouse are
all rapidly going up. These three
buildings in the course of erection
give people an opportunity to watch
Barnesville grow, and there is more
t o follow. Mark the prediction.
DEBTORS TAKE NOTICE.
The books and accounts of Drs.
Clark & Clark, and of Dr. B. J.
Clark, dec'd., are in my hands for
collection and settlement. Parties
indebted to either or both, will please
call at ray office and make settlement
without delay, as collections will be
pressed. J- J- Rogers,
Attomey-at-Law.
BARNESVILLE, GA„ THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1898-
FIRST NEW BALE.
o
Kennedy Pays 7 3-4 Gents
For It.
o
The first new cotton reached
Barnesville Monday. There were
three bales in the city almost at the
same time, but Mr. E. W. Brazier
was a little ahead of the others. Mr.
T. M. Haygood followed closely after
him, and Mr. R. C. Matthews got a
bale in the ginnery, but it was not
ginned.
The first bale, that of Mr. Brazier,
was put up Tuesday by Mr. J. L.
Hunt, and sold for 7J cents per
pound to Mr. J. L. Kennedy. It
weighed 510 pounds There was
spirited bidding for the cotton, but
Mr. Kennedy bought it.
There is every reason to belive
that Barnesville will ofter every in
ducement in the cotton market
throughout the entire season.
A Young Lmly Dies.
The people of Barnesville were
made sad at the announcement that
Miss Mabel Holmes had died Wednes
day afternoon last week. She had
been sick with fever for some w-eeks
and was known to be quite sick but
to the public at large her death was
not expected. Her death created
universal sorrow throughout the com
munity. She was the daughter of
Rev. and Mrs. J. F. Holmes and
among all who knew her she w’as
greatly admired and loved. She was
a consistent Christian girl, modest
and retiring in her nature, kind and
lovable in disposition and she was a
constant joy to the home in which
she lived.
The funeral services w'ere held in
Methodist church Thursday afternoon.
They were conducted by Rev. W. S.
Stevens and Dr. Rolfe Hunt, both of
whom paid beautiful tributes to the
life of the deceased. The remains
were buried in the Methodist ceme
tery.
In common with the entire com
munity, Thk Gazette extends to
Mr. and Mrs. Holmes and other rela
tives sincerest sympathy in their great
loss. May the great Comforter abide
with them.
Mr. Elder Improving*
Mr. Clifton Elder, who has been
sick at Tampa, but who was last week
sent to the hospital at Fort McPher
son, is improving rapidly and will prob
ably be well in a short time now. This
will be good news to his Barnesville
friends. He has had a severe case
of fever. Mr. Elder was a member
of the Second Regiment and in Cap
tain Howard’s company.

and the whole world looks gloomy to him,
it is time for him to take medicine. Then,
when he is braced up a bit, it is time
enough for him to take to the bicycle.
When a man’s nerves have an edge on
them, so that the least little disappoint
ment rasps on his temper like a file, when
his stomach and liver and nerves are de
ranged, and he is continually gloomy and
melancholy, he should take Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical .Discovery. It makes a
man as hungry as a fisherman and sees to
it that all the vital elements of the food are
absorbed into the blood. It braces up the
liver and puts it to work in the right way.
It drives all bilious impurities from the
system. It fills flesh, nerves, brain cells,
sinews and bones with the life giving ele
ments of rich, red, pure blood. It makes
a man healthy and then a bicycle will
make him strong. Medicine dealers sell
it, and have nothing "just as good.”
•‘Through yotir skillful treatment I am once
more a well man,” writes J. N. Arnold. Esq., of
Gandy I-ogan Cos., Neb ” I suffered for years
with constipation and torpidity of the liver
irritation of the prostate and inflammation of
the bladder. I took six bottles of ‘ Golden
Medical Discovery ’ and ‘ Pleasant Pellet* ’ and
am permanently cured. You have been the
means of saving my life.”
rA man or woman who neglects
constipation suffers from slow
poisoning. Dr Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets cure constipation. One
little “Pellet" is a gentle laxa
tive, and two a mild cathartic.

OXFOKD UNDERWEAR MILLS OWN
ED BY HOME PARTIES.
o
The Oxford Knitting Mill is now
owned entirely by Barnesville people.
It is the new knitting mill, erected
only a short time ago, and until last
week anew York firm was interested
in it. But all the foreign stock has
just been purchased by Mr. J. C.
Collier and Mr. W. M. Howard and
the stock has been transferred to
these gentlemen.
The mill is one of the finest in the
South. Every machine and every
piece of machinery is of the latest
and most approved pattern, and there
is scarcely another mill in the South
so thoroughly equipped. It is also
one of the largest underwear mills in
the South.
Mr. W. M. Howard, secretary and
treasurer, who has active and person
al management of the plant, states
that the entire business is working
nicely and is in fine shape. A large
force of operatives is employed and
shipments are regular and steady to
to the markets throughout the coun
try.
The mill manufactures men’s and
ladies’ underwear in all grades and
the samples sent out rarely ever fail
to make a sale, as they show the pro
duct of the mill to be first-class in
every respect.
This is one of the most valuable
enterprises in Barnesville and The
Gazette predicts success for it. Mr.
J. C. Collier is its president and Mr.
Howard, by virtue of; his office, is
general manager, and under their
control it will grow and prosper.
Buying For Penny Racket.
Mr. J. R. Deavours left Friday last
for New York City, where he went to
buy a big stock of goods for the Bar
nesville Penny Racket, of which he is
the popular proprietor. Mr. Deavours
is conducting a very successful busi
ness and since he came to Barnesville
he has established himself in business
and in social circles. He is a good
citizen.
A New Superintendent.
Mr. E. 1,. Holland arrived in Bar
nesville last week and has taken
charge ol the Stafford- Huguley Hos
iery Cos., in the capacity of superin
tendent. Mr. Holland is originally
from Maine, and has had large ex
perience in the hosiery business. He
expresses himself as greatly pleased so
far with Barnesville. The Stafford-
Huguley mill is in a flourishing con
dition. It has been running night
and day to fill its orders and working
a large force of operatives. Mr. Geo.
E. Huguley is president and Mr. F.
M. Stafford is secretary of the mill.
Buying Christmas (foods.
Mr. D. L. Anderson went to Ma
con Monday to meet the representa
tive of his Baltimore house, for the
purpose of giving his order for his
Christmas goods. Mr. Anderson
bought a splendid line of goods that
will please the trade of this section,
and when the time for the purchase of
these goods comes, he thinks thepeo
pie will find what they want at Dr.
W. A. Wright's. He bought so that
prices will be popular also.
Off For New York.
Messrs. W. C. and F. M. Stafford
left Monday morning for New York
City where they go to buy goods for
the firm of J. W. Stafford & Sons.
They are experienced buyers and
business men and it is profitable to
them to go into the market where
they buy so large a stock of goods.
They will buy a complete stock of
fall and winter goods. They will be
away about ten days.
Miss Florrie Elder Convalescent.
The Gazette isverygladto chroni
cle the improvement of Miss Elorrie
Elder, who has been sick for some
weeks past. She has, in fact, almost
entirely recovered, and will be out
among her friends soon. She is one
of Barnesville’s popular young ladies.
