FALL ANNOUNCEMENT,
Th a t the cotton has been greatly damaged
by recent and continued rains throughout the
state, no one can deny the present low prices.
It s going to be hard to make ends meet.
.... In v iew of these facts, I have used extra
diligence in my purchases this season. Asa
result, I am prepared to show the largest and
Dmrr e J eC Mn stock in Middle Ga., and AT
PRICES NO COMPETITOR WILL DARE
I OUCH. I did not visit the Eastern markets
this season, but remained at home and with
ampleand ready cash, accepted every bargain
offered.
Dress Goods.
I am the acknowledged leader in Dress Goods, as is
evidenced by the fact that 1 sell more than the balance of the
town. Every lady knows this, and they all go to Rogers’ for
their tine dresses.
Clothing.
I still sell Strouse Bros. Clothing, acknowledged to be
the most up-to-date and best titting clothing offered to the
trade. My prices this fall are right and you can buy them
without feeling the effect of the tariff.
Boots, Shoes and flats.
My stock in these lines, as in every other, is complete.
Get my prices before buying.
DOMESTICS.
1 never made a dollar on domestics in my life. You can
buy them the year round at factory prices.
It’s useless to attempt to enumerate everything I carry in
stock, as every man, woman and child in Middle Ga- knows
Ed Rogers, and knows that he carries everything and will not
be undersold by no living man. Come to see and 1 promise
to make your 4c cotton go further and buy more goods than
ever before. In fact, I will make it pan out 6c.

and diseases of their deli
cate, feminine structure.
Nothing less than unbearable torment
would induce sensitive-minded women to
submit to the intolerable methods of the
average doctor in dealing with diseases of
this nature.
That there is "a better way ” than these
detestable “examinations’ 1 and "local ap
plications ’’ is a truth which some women
have yet to learn, although thousands are
already rejoicing in the knowledge. They
have found in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription the one unfailing remedy which
heals feminine weaknesses at their very
source. This marvelous “ Prescription ”
restores absolute health to the internal
organism; stops weakening drains and ul
cerated conditions, gives elastic strength
to the supporting ligaments, vitality to the
nerve centers, and complete womanly vigor
to the entire constitution.
It is the perfect fortifier and regulator of
women at every critical period in their
development; from the time when they
merge into womanhood until the “change
of life.’’ It is the one medicine which
makes motherhood safe and almost free
from pain.
A lady living at 7 Park Avenue Chicago,
Mrs Emily Howe, writes: 'I. myself, suffered
a long time from female weakness and seemed
to be going into a decline. Took several bottles
of your Favorite Prescription ' and it saved me
from a great deal of suffering. I now enjoy per
fect health and will ever praise the wonderful
efficacy of your medicine. ’’
The best popular medical book in the
world is Dr. R. V. Pierce’s 1000 page illu

he may soon be entirely recovered.
His illness causes universal regret.
Mr. Milton W. Smith has moved
to the home recently occupied by
the family of Prof. J. E. Kemp. His
family will no doubt be pleased with
this home and with their neighbors.
Mr. L. A. Collier has been elected
clerk of the board of county com
missioners of Pike, in place of Mr.
Thad Adams, who recently resigned.
Mr. Collier will make a good man for
the place, and will no doubt do good
service for the board.
Prof. Thad Adams, who has been
teaching school at Hollonville for
four years, and acting as clerk for
the county commissioners for the past
two years, has removed to Thomas
ton, Ga., his former home, to engagfe

Mr. W. H. Brooks, of Molena, Ga.,
was in Barnesville this week, meeting
the people and looking over the city.
Mr. Brooks is a prominent and well
known citizen and is a representative
of quite a wealthy family. Barnesville
will always give hearty welcome to
such citizens.
The Central is to begin the con
struction of two more short exten
sions within a week or two. One of
these will be from Barnesville to the
city water works, and will open up a
new and valuable property. Several
mills will soon be located along this
spur, prominent citizens of that pro
gressive town having asked the road
to build the spur in order that they
might establish new industries along
the line- All the plans for the spur
are complete, and the contract for its
construction will soon be let.—Ma
con Telegraph.
There are quite a number of new
manufacturing plants on foot, and
some of them will soon be consuma
mated. It would not be surprising to
see the manufacturing interests of
Barnesville almost double within the
next twelve months. The outlook is
very encouraging now.
Mrs. E. J. Nottingham, with her
family moved to Barnesville last week
from Macon. For the present they
are at Dr. J. L. Foggs, hut will move

Elm street, as soon as it can be im
proved. Mrs. Nottingham has a po
sition with the music department of
Gordon Institute. She and her fam

Barnesville by the people of the city.
The Central rail road began work
Monday on the side track for Messrs.

Brother Neighbor Here.
Protracted service has begun at the
Baptist church and the meetings are
promising. Rev. R. E. Neighbor of
Macon arrived in the city Tuesday
afternoon and preached his first ser
mon Tuesday evening. It was a
powerful sermon and made a deep
impression. A large congregation
was present.
Dr. Brittain announced that there
would be three services a day: 10
o'clock a. m., at 4p. m., and at 7:30
p. m. Fjverybody is earnestly invi

meetings. Brother Neighbor is one
of the most interesting preachers in
the country, in fact, he has few
equals in Georgia, or elsewhere.
Nobody should miss the services if
they can possibly attend.
