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.

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.

Almost everywhere you go your pathway is brightened and cheered by their loveliness and fragrance. Flowers are blessings which may be enjoyed by the rich and the poor alike, Barnesville is happy that so many people here grow flowers. It speaks well. Mr. Charles M.

It does not mean wit, nor talents .nor a c c o m • JplishmenU. It means that physical at tractiven ess tion and the bright, happy cheerfulness of disposition which only complete health can insure. A woman with a bright eye, clear com plexion, mantling color in the cheeks and buoyant elastic step and manner has a natural attractiveness that no artificial ■ gency can counterfeit. A woman who is afflicted with the morti fying misfortune of a dull, sallow, pimply 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 of Dr Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, which makes a strong, healthy stomach and digestive organism ; purifies the blood and imparts a natural stimulus to the ex cretory functions ; insures healthy weight clear skin, bright eyes and the animated manner and bearing of perfect health 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.

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.
