ABOUT TOWN-

Dr. T. J. Watts spent Saturday in
Macon, where he went to meet a
traveling man from the north, from
whom lie purchased the holiday goods
for the Milner drug store. He pur
chased a line of beautiful goods and
thinks it will give great satisfaction
to the trade of Barnesville and com
munity.
Cotton is coming to> Barnesville
this season, because farmers are get
ting a higher price here than else
where and then they have every in
ducement ottered tor trade. Barnes
ville is not only the best cotton mar
ket in this section of the state, but
the merchants here carry the largest
and best stocks of goods and sell
them on the closest profits. Over
two hundred bales of cotton were
brought to Barnesville Saturday.
Col. Judson M. Strickland, of Con
cord, private secretary to Congress
man Bartlett, has consummated a
deal whereby he becomes possessor
ot the Thomaston Times. He will
assume the management of the pa
per on January ist, and will no
doubt give Thomaston a paper of
which she will be justly proud.
Col. Strickland is well known in
Barnesville and his friends wish him
abundant success in his new field of
labor.
Prof. J. D. Smith, a graduate of
Gordon Institute, recently School
Commissioner of Crawford county
is now principal of the J. E. John
ston Institute at Yatesville. The
people there were fortunate in secur
ing his services, as he will do much
for their educational interests.
Yatesville now has a paper. It is
published by Messrs J. C. Fincher
and J. A. Stewart. Its name is the
Yatesville Enterprise and will chron
icle all the happenings of the com
munity. We wish them success and
extend them sympathy.
Messrs. Murphey & Black have
just put up a fine dray for Mr. John
T. Middlebrooks. It is a well built,
substantial vehicle and is a creditable
piece of work. They have built sev
eral such drays and they always give
satisfaction.
The flowers are unsually beautiful
and sweet this season and they are
also abundant. Almost everywhere
you go your pathway is brightened
and cheered by their loveliness and
fragrance. Flowers are blessings

A woman who is afflicted with the morti

complexion or that listless movement and
attitude which provokes only disgust and
revulsion in the opposite sex, ought to avail
herself of the purifying, invigoratingpower

A lady living in West Virginia, Miss Anna
Callow of Kyger, Roane Cos., writes: “It is
with pleasure I write you after using a few
bottles of Dr. Pierce's ‘ Favorite Prescription ’
and Golden Medical Discovery.' and I think
them valuable medicines for female troubles
and weaknesses I could hardly go about my
work I had such inward weakness and constant
misery in the womb It worried me so that I
would give out in walking a short distance I
had a bad cough and my lungs hurt me all the
time I got very thin, my complexion wsa bad,
and my eyes would get so heavy in the evening
they seemed stiff in the lids I could hardly
move them. Many persons were alarmed about
me, I looked so bad and had such a cough ; they
were afraid I would go into consumption I
felt so badly every day that I had no life about
me. I used only five bottles in all. I shall ever
speak in praise of your grand medicines They
are blessings to suffering females 1

High School. He is thoroughly com
petent and qualified for the work,
being a graduate of Mercer Univer
sity His friends here regretted to
see him leave, for they have had lit
tie opportunity to be with him since
his return from Santiago, he having
been sick. We predict for him a suc
cessful career in life.
Milner’s ginnery is kept quite busy
now since the cotton season is well
on. Everything there is new and in
fine condition and satisfaction is be
ing given all customers. The per
sonal attention of Mr. Polk Milner,
is given the business. It is a splen
did enterprise for Barnesville.
Mr. Robert Mitchell desires to ex
press through The Gazette his
thanks to the Jeff Davis Fire Cos., to
the Hook and Ladder Cos., and to
the citizens generally for the efforts
they made in his behalf when his sta
bles were on fire Friday evening last.
Faithful and very efiective service
was rendered and Mr. Mitch
ell greatly appreciates it all. The
truth is Barnesville stands together
as one man when the interests ot one
of her citizens are involved.
The Gazette is glad to print a
pretty little poem to-day from Mr. D.
G. Bickers, one of the brightest wri
ters on the Georgia press. He has
several times visited Barnesville and
made a great many friends in the
city. The little poem will be enjoyed
by out - readers.
Mr. I). L. Anderson, mayor pro
tein, had his first case Tuesday, in
the absence of Mayor Smith. A ne
gro was brought before him on a
charge of being drunk and cutting
up. Mr. Anderson gave him a fine
of $2.50 or 5 days on the streets.
All regret to know the low condi
tion of Capt. W. I). Redding, who
has been quite low for a week or two
past. He has been very low and
weak the last few days and unless he
improves he cannot survive but a
short while longer. Capt. Redding
is a good man and is greatly loved
by the people of Barnesville. May
his last days be peaceful and happy.
Fire at Mitchells Stables.
Friday evening last at about 7:45
the fire alarm was given, and it was
discovered that the stables of Mr.
Robert Mitchell were on fire.
Nearly everybody was at the Baptist
church when the alarm was given
and it 'created quite an unusual
amount of excitement.
The whole of the loft, filled with
hay, oats, etc., was on fire when dis
covered and it was hard to handle.
Three streams of water were soon
turned on however, and with the aid
of the hook and ladder company and
the citizens generally, the fire was
soon under control. Barnesvilles
fine water system again demonstrated
its effectiveness in fighting fire and a
very disastrous conflagration was
averted.
All the horses and vehicles were
gotten out, with little damage, but
the building was considerably dam
aged and all the forage was lost.
The loss, while considerable, was
pretty well covered by insurance.
Mr. Mitchell, with a force of hands,
has since been at work, getting things
in shape and trying to reach an esti
mate of his losses.
The Protracted Service.
The protracted service has been
in progress at the Baptist church
since the first of last week. Large
congregations attended all the serv
ices, and several times the church
has hardly been able to accommodate
all who attended. Rev. R. E.
Neighbor has done all the preaching
and he has presented the gospel in a
most attractive and impressive man
ner. Many of his sermons have pro
duced profound impressions and the
people have been moved and influ
enced by them. It is believed that
the meetings so far have accom
plished great good. The services
will probably come to a close with
the meeting to-night. Brother
Neighbor has endeared himself to
the people of Barnesville.
DRESSMAKING.
Mrs. Varner will take charge of
our dressmaking department, and
will commence work Monday
next, September 26th. Dress
