admiration of all who knew her. She
is the daughter of Captain E. J. Mur

Wednesday afternoon last week
at the home of the bride's parents in

nouncement of this happy marriage
appeared in the Gazette sometime

Opelika for Barnesville, arriving here
Thursday afternoon.
Thursday evening a delightful recep
tion was tendered the bride and groom
by Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Wellmaker at
their home on Thomaston street.
Quite a number of friends were pres
ent and the reception was quite an
enjoyable one for all present. A
most bountiful supper was served

pleasure to all their friends.
Forsyth’s Big Mill.
The new mill which the Forsyth
Manufacturing Company is building
at Forsyth, Ga., is nearing completion
and will soon be ready for business.
It will contain 6,000 spindles. This
will give the Forsyth mills .2,000
spindles on hosiery yarns, warps and
plied yarns.

For men who suffer in this way there is
no medicine equal to Dr. Pierce’s Ooldvn

similation of the food perfect, purifies the
blood and enriches it with the life- giving
elements that build new, healthy flesh. It
is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder.
It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of con

Thomas Fletcher, of Clifton Station. Fairfax

for ten years with ‘geitralgia ’ (pain in the
stomach). I then took six bottles of Dr. Fierce'*
Golden Medical Discovery, which completely
cured me."
When the bowels are regular the body
will feel good and the mind will be active.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure con

laxative, and two a mild Cathartic. They
never gripe. All good dealers sell them
and have nothing else “just as good.”
Fire Alarm.
About ten o'clock Sunday night
the alarm of fire was given and it
was announced that the old Murphey
place, qccupied by Mr. E. H. Blood
worth was on fire. The fire was almost
immediately put out. It seems that
a package of matches was ignited,
probably by rats, and when it was
discovered the room was full of
smoke. As soon as an entrance into
the room could be made, it took lit
tle effort to put the fire out as it had
made but little headway.
Rales Increased.
The Magnolia Inn has increased
its rates to $2.00 per day. Mrs. Bla !
lock is giving such satisfaction to the
travelling public that it has caused
them to induceher toraise the rate to
$2.00 per day. r l his is the rate all hotels
giveand they say that the Magnolia Inn
ranks with the Nelms House of Grif
fin and the Reid House of Fiatonton.
