Rev. Waller Killed.
The people of Barnesvtlle have
been grieved to hear of the tragic
death of Rev. Mr. Waller, the evange
list, in Atlanta. Mr. Waller was
crossing a railroad track when a train
ran into him, causing his death.
Mr. Waller led a protracted meet
ing in Bartlesville several years ago,
with great success.
It is sad to see a good man taken
so suddenly from the world, one
who benefits and blesses all who come
in contact with him. We regret the
tragic death of this noble man.
THE MODAKN MOTIIEH
It;i8 found that lier little ones are im
proved more by the pleasant Syrup of
Figs, when in need of the laxative effect
of a gentle remedy, than by any other.
Children enjoy it and it benefits them.
The true remedy, Syrup of Figs, is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Cos., only.
Moved to Bartlesville.
Mrs. Dusenberry, the wife of our
new depot agent, ami little child, ar
rived in Bartlesville Tuesday morn
ing. Mr. and Mrs. Dusenberry will
make Mrs. E. C. Elder's their home.
We gladly welcome this family to
our little city. High words have
been spoken of them at Eatonton,
their past home and Bartlesville is
proud of the opportunity of such a
highly recommended gentleman to a
position in our midst.
A Small Fire.
On Tuesday afternoon the fire
alarm rang out suddenly on the cool
air. It had been telephoned that the
dwelling on Thomaston street, occu
pied by Dr. Kemp, was on fire. The
hose real and hook and ladder wagon
were slow in getting to the house and
when they arrived the fire had been
extinguished.
Fire had dropped down from the
grate under the hearth and set the
wood work on fire. The hearth was
torn up and the flame quickly ex
tinguished. The damage done was
little compared to the consternation
wrought among the ladies.
Miller to Straton.
Polk Miller and John Roach Staton
have formed a combination for a
lecture tour this winter. The former
is a lecturer of wide reputation. Mr.
Straton is well known in Barnesville
where he delivered one ot his elo
quent lectures last spring.

“Back on the Farm'’ will be before
the footlights at Kennedy’s Opera
House Friday night.
“Back on the Farm” to be pre
sented at the opera house on Friday
night, comes very highly recommen
ded.
Somebody borrowed my traveling
case in the summer, and failed to
return it. As I am very much in
need of it now, would ask that you
kindly look around and if you have
it, and are through with it, return to
me. It was public property but as I
am on the road now and have a soiled
paper colarand a comb and brush ta
carry I need it. Very truly,
Chas. A. Hunt.
SOMETHING TO KNOW.
It may be worth something to know'
that the very best medicine for re
storing the tired out nervous system
to a healthy vigor is Electric Bitters.
This medicine is purely vegetable,
acts by giving tone to the nerve cen
tres in the stomach, gently stimulates
the Liver and Kidneys, and aids
these organs in throwing off impuri
ties in the blood. Electric Bitters
improves the appetite, aids digestion,
and is pronounced by those who have
tried it as the very best blood purifier
and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for
50c or SI.OO per bottle at W. A.
Wright's Drug Store.
Another Good Show.
Barnesville is to have another en
tertainment at Kennedy's Opera.
The minstrel drew a large audience
which was delighted and now comes
the play “Back on the Farai” which
is clean, chaste and refined, filled
with humor, besides many novel
specialties in song and dance. Their
hand and orchestra is said to he very
fine. We clip the following from the
constitution:
“Back on the Farm,” a comedy
drama, of the “down east” country,
will he the attraction Wednesday and
Thursday at the Columbia theater.
It has a very interesting plot and the
scenes are laid in Maine and in Bos
ton, where Si Stebbins goes for a vis
it and happens to all sorts of queer
things. The eccentricities of Dan
Carleigh, who portrays Si Stebbins.
is said to keep the aui ience in good
humor. The company is accompa
nied by their own brass band and
challenge orchestra.”
To Sell Only For Cash.
Mr. J. W. Hightower, Barnesville s
well known hardware dealer, an
nounces that hereafter he will sell
only for cash. He has tried the
credit system long enough to know
that it is not a satisfactory way to do
business and he has determined not
to carry it on any longer. The cash
system will enable him not only to do
a more satisfactory business but it
will enable him to sell goods at a
shorter profit, which will be greatly
to interest of every one who buys
from him. Mr. Hightower carries a
large and well selected stock of goods,
consisting of every thing usually car
ried in a general hardware store, but
everything will be sold on a cash
basis.
