WHY HE OPPOSES ITS SALE.
In an address recently in Macon in
favor of prohibition, Hon. C. A.
Turner, well known in Barnesville,
gave the following reasons for oppos
ing the sale of liquor in barrooms,
which ought to be convincing wher
ever they are read :j
“I am opposed to it because it
brings upon us all temptation, trial
and tribulation:
“I am opposed to it because it
wraps weeping women in widow’s
weeds !
“I am opposed to it because it
changes the happy laughter of cheer
ful childhood into cheerless, com
fortless crying!
“I am opposed to it because it
catcher, cages, confines and kills
character in every circle.
“I have seen an ex attorney gen
eral of this state a driveling, de
bauched drunkard!
“I am opposed to it because it
feeds, and fattens, and fastens its fiery
fangs upon fatherhood !
“I am opposed to it because it
makes miserable and maddens and
murders motherhood!
“1 am opposed to it because it
wields a weapon which wrecks and
ruins youth.
“I have known within this year,
1898, a boy only 17 years of age,
whose widowed mother had secured
for him employment with one of the
best citizens of youi town, found by
his employer keeping a gambler's
game in one of the barrooms of this
town, and he was discharged upon
the spot on the ground that the cm
ployer could not trust? his business
with a boy who would frequent such
places. I can produce the barroom,
lean produce the business man, I can
produce the boy, alas ! alas ! I can
produce the mother!
“The saddest thing ever said of
the cross, with its crown of thorns,
its crushing nails, its cruel speer, and
its cry of agony, was, mother was
there 1
“1 am opposed to it because it
cruelly crushes cooing childhood.

A nvost delightful evening was had
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. M.
Lambdin Monday. Quite a number
.of friends were present to participate
in cutting the Williamson—Lambdin
wedding cake. Owing to the unfor
tunate accident to Mr. Williamson,
which has already been noted in The
Gazette, the marriage took place in
Texas, instead of Barnesville, as first
arranged for. The wedding cake,
however, was sent to Barnesville for
the pleasure of the Barnesville friends
of Miss May Lambdin mow Mrs.
Williamson) and it afforded an even
ing of great pleasure.
The cake contained several articles,
which were distributed by the cutting
as follows: The ring, Miss Jean
Mitchell; the thimble, Miss Mamie
Mitchell; the dime, Mr. C. A. Hunt;
the bachelor button, Prof. H. M.
Fletcher. This part of the evening
was amusing and interesting.
Another very interesting feature
was the happy thought of Mrs. A. M.
Lambdin, one of Georgia’s brightest
and noblest women. The Gazette

BABY’S
AWFUL
HUMOR
My baby Ulster hid a rash, causing her in.
tense suffering. Wo had doctors, and tried
everything, without a cure. It would scab
o\ er, crack open, a watery matter would oozo
out and the scab fall off. Wo procured a box
of Ccticuba (ointment), a cake of CuticurA
Soap, and Cuticuka Resolvent, and she was
entirety cured without a scar being left.
