L. MILLS. BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1898. GREER-ROSE- Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the home of the bride’s father, Mr. E. W. Rose, on Thomaston street, Miss Josephine Rose was united in marriage to Mr. Leon C. Greer of Oglethorpe, Ga. Rev. W. S. Ste vens, officiating, using the ring cer emony. The home was tastily decorated and quite a number of friends were present as witnesses. Immediately after the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Greer left for Florida, where they will spend a few weeks on their bridal tour. Many congratulations were ex tended them over their marriage. Miss Rose was one of Barnesville’s sweetest young ladies. She has many admirers here, among both young and old. Mr. Greer is quite a promising young man. He is editor of the Ma con County Citizen and is a young lawyer with a growing practice. He graduated from Gordon Institute a few years ago and has a great many warm friends here. The whole community extends its sincerest and warmest congratula tions to Mr. and Mrs. Greer, and The Gazette joins in wishing for them a bright, happy and prosperous life. A Debut Reception. Beautifully printed invitations, bearing the following, have been re ceived by friends in the city : Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Murphey request the pleasure of your company at the debut reception of their daughter, Meta, on Friday evening, October seventh, from eight to twelve. Thomaston Street, Barnesville, Georgia. No doubt this occasion will be one of great pleasure. Work on the Conrt House. Some two or three months ago lightning struck the tower of the court house at Zebulon and so damaged it as to make repairs necessary. The county commissioners then decided to remove the tower from the center of the building and place it at the frynt. The contract was awarded to Mr. McAfee, of Atlanta, who began work last week tearing it away and left it exposed to the storm this week. Monday it was so wet that court had to adjourn until Thursday. This work will cost something over $2,000. When a young man asks a father for hi# daughter’s hand in marriage, if the father ! is a wise one, he thinks of one thing equal ly as important as the young man’s moral#,, social and business standing and intelli gence. A young man who suffers from ill health has no right to marry until his health is restored. To do so is to commit a crime against the human race. While all diseases may not be directly inherited, the constitu tional tendency to acquire them is inher ited. If a man is a consumptive, the chances are that his children will have weak, undersized lungs, and a predisposi tion to acquire the same disease. The young man who suffers from bron chitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood or any disease of the air-passages which, if neg lected leads up to consumption, may take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery with almost absolute assurance of recovery. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases when taken in time. It soothes and heals the delicate and sensitive tissues of the air-passages and lungs, checks the cough, facilitates expect oration, drives out all impurities and dis ease germs from the tainted blood and builds new and healthy tissues. Mr John G. Born of 4020 I.iberty Ave. Pitts burgh, Pa., writes : ‘ Some thirty months ago I said to my wife, I don t want to keep anything from you. I must tell you I am iu the last stage of consumption.’ In December I commenced taking Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery I could then only speak in whispers I have taken thirteen bottles, and can say with truth I am greatly benefited. People are surprised to hear me speak. 1 can halloo, and my voice baa not tieen as good in eight years. My stomach was never in better condition. Formerly I could not cat without suffering very much immediately alter, but now I can eat anything." n Series ol Addresses- Beginning on next Sunday, Octo ber 9th, there will be given at the Methodist church a series of ad dresses, as follows : Sunday, October 9th, 11 a. m.— “The Church of the Living God;” 7:30 p. m.—The Holy Scriptures.” Monday, 4p. m.—“ Justification;” 7:30 p. m.—“ Attending Upon Ordi nances.’’ Tuesday, 4 p. m —“Regeneration;” 7:30 p. m.—“ Discipline in the Church.” Wednesday 4p. m.—“ Living in Union With Jesus;" 7:30 p. m.— “Christian Education.” Thursday, 4p. m.—“ Faith, Hope, Love;” 7:30 p. m.—“ Christian Lib erality.” Friday, 4p. m.—“ Resurrection and Change;’’ 7:30 p. 111. —“The Principle of Missions.” Saturday, 4p. m.—“ The Dispen sation of the Holy Spiiit;” 7:30 p. m. —“The Kingdom of God.” Sunday, 11 a. m.—“ Materialism;” 7:30 p. m.—“ Temperance.” These services will take the place of what is usually known as protracted meeting. It will be seen that every subject here given is of vital interest to church members, and some of them even to people not belonging to the church. It is hoped, therefore, that all the people will avail themselves of the opportunity to know more of these things. The young men are especial ly invited to be present at theevening services, and the pupils of the Insti tute at the afternoon exercises. Cut out the list of subjects and keep it for reference. Show it to your friends and ask them to come with you. To Marry In Texas. The marriage of Miss May Lamb din to Mr. J. I). Williamson, recently announced, will occur to-day in Wa co, Tex., instead of in Barnesville, as first arranged for.
