.„ In view of these facts, 1 have used extra
diligence in my purchases this season. Asa
result, 1 am prepared to show the largest and
best selected stock in Middle Ga., and AT

TOUCH. 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 tact that I sell more than the balance of the
town. Every lady knows this, and they all go to Rogers’ for
their fine dresses.
Clothing.
I still sell Strouse Bros. Clothing, acknowledged to be
the most up-to-date and best fitting clothing offered to the

My stock in these lines, as in every other, is complete.

buy them the year round at factory prices.
It’s useless to attempt to enumerate everything 1 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 I promise
to make your 4c cotton go further and buy more goods than

cial favorite in many sections of the
state.
Mr. Hardy is well known here,
having formerly been connected with

staff of the Macon Telegraph. He

Gainesville, Ga. He is a young man
whose ability and manly character

Debut Reception.
Quite a large number of Barnes
ville people assembled at the pleas
ant home of Mr. and Mrs. A. O.
Murphey last Friday evening, in res
ponse to invitations to be present at
the debut reception of Miss Meta
Murphey. The home was elaborate
ly and beautifully decorated and
nothing was left undone to make the
reception quite a success. Miss
Murphey was assisted in receiving by
several other young ladies, all of
whom constantly endeavored to make
it pleasant for every guest.
At the proper time all were invited
into the dining room where they were
served with the most delicious re,-
freshments. ft was late when the
guests began to depart for their res-
I pectite homes. Mr. and Mrs. Mur
phey and Miss Meta were heartily
thanked for the pleasures they had
again afforded through this reception.
The best wishes of all will attend
Miss Murphey throughout her life.
P m rvous diseases to which
women are peculiarly
overwhelming despair
WSf which they bring upon the mind.
wJP A woman’s mental condition is
Wf directly and powerfully affected by
W any ailment of the delicate, special
1 organs of her sex. Such a difficulty
not only racks her body with pain and suf
fering but burdens her with mental anguish
which words can hardly describe.
Thousands of women have had a similar
experience to that of Mrs. Kurath A.
Williams, of Westport, Oldham Cos., Ky..
in which the use of Dr. Pierce’s wonderful
“Favorite Prescription,’’ by imparting
health and strength to the feminine organ
ism, has not only restored complete vigor
and capacity to the bodily powers but has
also given renewed brightness and buoy
ancy of spirit.
“I suffered for over a year," says Mrs. Williams,
“ with indigestion and nervous prostration. I
was unable To eat or sleep. I tried several phys
icians, but they only helped me for a short time.
A friend advised me to take Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. Dr.'Pierce’s Golden Mc-dical Dis
covery and ‘ Pellets,' I commenced taking the
medicines last May Took three bottles of the
‘Favorite Prescription,’ three of the ’Golden
Medical Discovery.’ and three vials of the ’ Pel
lets.’ and am now feeling better than I have for
two years. Have a good appetite, sleep well,
and do not suffer from Indigestion or nervous
ness. 1 have gained seven and a half pounds
•iuce taking these medicines. I have recom
mended Dr. Pierce’s medicine to several ladies,
one of whom is now taking it and is being
greatly benefited."
MR. COOPER DIES.
Sunday evening about ten o'clock
death came to Mr. J. E. Cooper, and
relieved him of his sufferings and
transplanted his spirit to the glory
world. The news created much sur
prise among the people, as not many
knew of his sickness and probably
none thought that he was in a dan
gerous condition. He had been in
feeble health for some time. Last
week lie took his bed and lie was not
able to get out any more.
Mr. Cooper was one of Barnesville’s
oldest inhabitants, being about eighty
five years of age. He was a citizen
highly esteemed by the people. He
was a member of the Methodist
church and during the last years of
his life lie grew to be a very earnest,
zealous and consistent member. Es
pecially since two years ago has his
life been a triumphant one, full of
struggle and temptation, but also one
of almost complete victory over satan
and the world. During this time lie
always attended every religious serv
ice possible, always testified in be
half of his blessed Master and sought
to do all the good lie could. He had
won the confidence and love of the
people among whom he lived. He
liked to talk to Christian people about
religious matters. Among his very
last words were, “Oh, my blessed
Savior, how I love thee.’’
The funeral services were held in
the Methodist church Tuesday after
noon and were conducted by his pas
tor, Rev. W. S. Stevens.
Tributes to his life were paid by
Rev. W. S. Stevens, Messrs. G. W.
Grice, J. T. Hunt, J. H. Blackburn,
G. W. Stocks, C. P. Saffold, Rev. H.
A. Hodges, and Dr. B. J. Head.
After the service the remains were in
terred in the cemetery on Greenwood
street.
To all the bereaved loved ones,
The Gazette, with the entire com
munity extends deepest sympathy in
the great loss which they have sus
tained.
fl SflD fIGGIDENT.
o
Avery sad accident happened last
Friday morning, when little Dan
McLean, the little son of Mr. and
Mrs. A. B. McLean was accidentally
shot with a pistol, from which he
(lied in a few hours.
The little boy was across the
street at the home of Mr. J. M. Cop
page. In some way little Fred Cop
page and Dan were handling a pistol.
It was discharged and the ball en
tered the right eye of Dan, ranged
downward through his mouth and
neck coming out through the back.
Drs. A. P. Kemp and W. J. Cox
were immediately called in and ev
erything possible was done for the
little fellow, but to little avail. He
died about twelve o’clock, four hours
alter the accident. His death caused
great sadness throughout the commu
nity. Little Dan, who was three
years old, was the pet of that section
of the city and many mourn over his
untimely death.
The funeral services were held at
the home Monday morning, conduct
ed by Dr. J. M. Brittain. The peo
ple of the community sympathize
deeply with both families tn their
great distress.
They Have Returned.
Dr. and Mrs. G. Pope Huguley
returned Saturday night from their
bridal tour. Their objective point
was New York city and they had a
delightful visit throughout the entire
time. They are welcomed home.
A Little Child Burnt.
The little son of Mr. Jim Wood at
Weaver was badly burned about the
face and hands last Friday. He was
playing and had a lot of powder on
the ground when it ignited and burnt
his face and hands badly. The little
fellow has been getting along very
nicely since, however, and he will
soon he well again.
Knocked in Urn Head.
Saturday night about dark, Lon
Bush, colored, was knocked in the
head by his friend, Charley Jackson.
They had previously had some mis
understanding and when Jackson
met him on the street, he hit him
several blows with a hickory stick,
making several serious gashes. Bush
was taken home. He is not dan
gerously hurt, though the wounds
were painful.
