Drawing Plans.
Mr. L. P. Hudson, Barnesville’s
architect, is kept quite busy these
days drawing plans for houses. H£
has just finished plans for the new
dwelling of Mr. Euce Elder, and the
plans show an elegant home. Mr.
Hudson has also just finished the
plans for the new home of Mr. M. M.
Elliott on Brown avenue. This, too,
will be a pretty cottage home. Mr.
Hudson is a splendid architect and a
great many houses in Barnesville are
built from his plans.
Putting in Dry Goods.
The Reeves Boys, a firm which has
grown rapidly since it commenced
business only a few years ago, will put

already been purchased, Mr. Jim
Reeves having visited Atianta, for
this purpose last week. The stock
will consist of only staple goods, and
The Reeves Boys say they are going
to sell them at prices that will always
please the purchasers. No doubt
this new department will be as suc

to make in groceries or dry goods.

Muj. Hunt to Speak.
The last issue of the Concord En
terprise makes the following announce
ment : *
‘‘Major John T. Hunt, of Barnes
ville, president of the Pike County
Sunday School Association, will de
liver a Sunday School address at the
Baptist church here at 9 o’clock Sat
urday morning, September 3rd. Major
Hunt is a speaker of great power and

vited to come.’’

rl Bolinjfbroke,
much more in
going out of it,
that it is hardly
be here at all.”
If a man and a
philoaopher
comes to this
conclusion,
hat must be the
itural conclusion
f the thousands
f suffering
who undergo
unioio torture in bring
ing their babes into the world ?
Philosophy of this kind is based upon
gross ignorance. The fact is, that there is
no necessity for the severe pangs under
gone by the average woman. If a woman
is strong and healthy in a womanly way,
motherhood means to her but little suffer
ing. The trouble lies in the fact that the
majority of women suffer from weakness
and disease of the distinctly feminine or
ganism and are unfitted f-> r motherhood.
This can always be remedied. Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription is a sure, speedy and
permanent cure for all disorders of this
description. It acts directly on the delicate
and important organs concerned, making
them healthy, strong, vigorous, virile and
elastic. It banishes the indispositions of
the period of expectancy and makes baby’s
advent easy and almost painless. It quick
ens and vitalizes the feminine organs, and
insures a healthy and robust baby. Thou
sands of women have testified to its mar
velous merits. Honest druggists do not
offer substitutes, and urge them upon you
as “just as good.”
“I suffered fourteen years," writes Mrs.
Mary J. Stewart, of Box Saratoga, Santa
Clara Cos , Cal., with female weakness, nervous
ness and general debilily I tried everything to
no avail. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and • Golden Medical Discovery ’ cured me.”

Every woman needs a great medical book.
Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Ad
viser fills this want. It contains over tooo
pages and nearly 800 illustrations.
The Shakespearean Club.
The Shakespearean Club has en
tered upon the fall and winter course
of study with renewed interest. A
most enthusiastic meeting was held
at the home of Mrs. L. K. Rogers on
Saturday last, at which time ‘>The
Taming of the Shrew" was discussed.
The Club has sustained a great loss
in the departure of Mrs. S. L. Taylor
for Atlanta, and resolutions of regret
were passed. She has been presi
dent of the Club for some months
and was ever a most capable and en
thusiastic member. Mrs. A. M.
Lambdin will fill the office during the
remainder of the year. Miss Willie
Reynolds succeeds Miss Lily Turner
as secretary, and Mrs. Jere M.
Pound has been elected coresponding
secretary.
Applications are being made to fill
the vacancies in membership occa
sioned by the resignation of members
who have changed their place of res
idence.
The club proposes to celebrate the
third anniversary at an early date,
and the occasion promises to be a
brilliant social event. At each meet
ing expression is given to the benefits,
both intellectual and social, that have
been received, and the fourth year
promises to be marked by greater in
terest and more thorough work than
any in the history of the club.
Prof. Olipliftnt Elected.
Prof. G. F. Oliphant, the well
known educator, for several years the
president of R. E. Lee Institute at
Zebulon, has been elected as a mem
ber of Gordon Institute’s faculty, to
take Prof. Kemp’s place. Prof. Oli
phant has accepted the position and
will be here to begin the fall term
next Monday. Prof. Oliphant is a
fine educator, and has a reputation
throughout the State. Through his
efforts success was brought to the R.
E. Lee Institute at Thomaston.
Barnesville will give him a royal
welcome as a member of the faculty
of Gordon Institute and as a citizen
of this city. His election gives great
satisfaction.
Bitten by a Snake.
Last Eriday near Milner, Mr. B.
T. Martin was bitten on the finger by
a snake, probably a rattle snake or a
moccasip. from which he has suffered
much. Dr. A. M. Spier was called in
and applied remedies for the poison.
Mr. Martin is getting along nicely now,
but will probably lose his finger. His
arm is fearfully swollen as the Hite
was very poisonous.
Will Teach in Tennille.
Miss Dollie Rogers has been elect
ed as a member of the faculty of the
Tennille Institute and has accepted
the position. She was not an appli
cant for the position and her election
is quite a compliment to her. She
will leave Barnesville in a few days
for Tennille to begin work for the fall
term.
Another New Home.
Mr. M. M. Elliott will erect at
once a beautiful home on Brown ave
nue. When completed it will be one
of the prettiest and most desirable
homes in that part of Barnesville.
Mr. Elliott is a member of the J. C.
Collier Cos. and is a young man who
stands well in the city and section.
His friends are glad that he is to
build anew home.
Mr. Brittain Return*.
Mr. Charles M. Brittain, who has
been engaged in the army V. M. C.
A. work in Cuba, reached Barnesville
Sunday afternoon, direct from Mon
tank Point. Mr. Brittain has had a
very interesting experience during
the war, as has already been learned
through several of his letters publish
ed in The Gazette. When he
reached home he was sick, but he
will probably be out in a few days
and well again. His friends arp glad
that he has returned and that he has
escaped all accidents and dangers
incident to the work which he under
took.
Hr. Watts’ Baby Improves.
The baby of Dr. and Mrs. T. J.
Watts, which has been quite sick for
a week past is now improving. There
was considerable uneasiness about it
for several days, but we rejoice that
it has so improved and hope that it
may speedily recover.
