TRIBUTE TO BARTLETT.
The Thomaston Times, in its last
issue, pays the following strong tribute
to the Sixth's popular congressman :
“Hon. Charles L. Bartlett was
here Wedaesday. He is a candidate
for re-election to congress, and so far
has no opposition. Indeed his per
sonal popularity and the strength of
Democracy in his district make it
clear to any who might come out in
opposition, that to run against Judge
Bartlett would be a useless waste of
time and a foolish expenditure of
money. Judge Bartlett is popular at
home, he is popular in congress. He
is a staunch Democrat and is an in
defatigable and successful worker for
his constituents. He has many loyal
supporters in Upson, all of whom
were glad to see him here this week.
He will be elected in November."

Prohibition is Advancing.
The success of prohibitionists re
cently in the Counties of Sumter and
Wilkes has emboldened the voters of
that faith in many of the larger coun
ties. In Bibb county, where whisky
has always been sold, the prohibition
ists have decided to take a firm stand
and an elction will be ordered for some
day in December. Petitions are now
being circulated all through Bibb
county in order to get the necessary
number of names to call an election.
This contest will be one of the most
exciting ever held in Georgia.
May Bibb county soon be among
the many other counties where pro
hibition does prohibit. The cause is
marching to victory in its contests.
FATHER& SONS
CURED OF
ITGHINGRASH
r I had an itching rash under my chin, which
kept spreading until it was all over my body.
I could not sleep but was comj*elled to lie
awake and scratch all the time. My father
and two brothers were afflicted with the Fame
thing, at the same time. We all suffered
terribly for a year and a half, trying in the
meantime all the remedies we could find, but
received no benefit. I bought three cakes of
Cuticpra Soap and three boxes of Cuticira
(ointment) and they cured the four of us com

Two Nuisance*.
It is said to be a fact that the little
negro boys about town are getting to
be very mean and mischevious.
Quite a number ofinstances are cited
to prove this.
They will steal harness, chickens,
corn, cotton or almost anything.
They w ill go to your stable, bridle
and saddle your horse and ride until
they are satisfied. They are sharp
enough to escape and keep out of
reach of the parties who would ap
ply the penalty vigorously. A crusade
will have to be made against these
evil doers and quite a number of cit
izens are in a humor now to begin it.

Dogs are another nuisance, dogs
that bark, that bark constantly, that
aie fit only for barking. A gentle
man whg lives on Thomaston street,
and who doesn't sleep maybe and
who doesn't care to sleep maybe,
makes the suggestion that every fam
ily on the street secure a dog, tie
them all securely and require them to
bark at least twenty three hours ev
ery day. This suggestion if adopted,
would be a howling success and it
would wake up the whole community.
There are only a few of these dogs
now and they bark enough to keep
only about half or three-fourths of
the people awake at nights. Let's go
the “whole hog or none." What are
dogs for anyhow, if not to disturb the
community. This suggestion will
probably lessen city taxes, for there
is a tax on dogs anyhow.
Dr. Beauchamp Speaks.
Dr. J. C. Beauchamp made an ad
dress in the city hall last Friday
evening. He is the nominee of the
Democratic party for the legislature
and is one of the truest men in Pike
county. Only a small audience was
present to hear his speech, however.
It has been hard to arouse any special
interest in the present campaign.
Dr. Beauchamp made a good speech
and it was listened to attentively by
all those present.
Hon. John F. Redding, democrat
ic nominee for the senate, made a
few remarks which created enthu
siam.
.Mr. ( arson M*ves to Barncsville.
Mr. J. J. Carson, of Concord, has
moved to Barnesville with his family.
He is occupying the home of Mrs. J.
A. Hunt on Greenwood street, hav

children are placed in Gordon Insti
tute. This family is cordially wel
comed to Barnesville.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Svßur
Cos. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Svrup Cos.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Svrup Cos. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

Zebulon in its regular October term.
Judge E. J. Reagan, the successor
to Judge M. W. Beck, was present to
preside. The people were pleased
with his beginning.
On account of the work being done
on the tower, court conqened in one
of the rooms down stairs, but the
condition of the house was such that
court took a recess until today (Thurs
day).
The grand jury was organized by
the election of Mr. S. S. Barrett fore
man and Mr. Jim Wood clerk. The
grand jury has been in session since
Monday.
It will probably be an important
