Major Hunt is a speaker of great power and eloquence and a rare treat is in store for all who attend. Everybody is in vited to come.’’ k> much trouble ito the world.” 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.

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.

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.
