Millinery, Dry Goods, Notions,
Shoes, Hats, to.
With every article in the house paid for, and with mon
ey in the bank to discount every bill, 1 start the new year
with an independent motto, of looking solely after my custo
mers and my own interests, and leave credit-buying compe
tition to look out for themselves. 1 expect to “HEW TO
THE LINE’’ on prices, and let the chips fall where they may.
Times are seemingly very hard —there are lots of good paying
customers in our territory that are entitled to all the credit
they want. To these 1 annnounce that 1 want their accouht
for this year, and promise them an honest, square deal, and
prices lower than any house in town.
MILLINERY
is one of my strongest features and will be looked closely
after. The markets will be searched for the VERY NEWEST
and DRV GOODS AND NOTIONS will
constitute a department that will be very greatly enlarged—
so much so that my friends may rest assured that they will
find anything that is the newest and most stylish.
SHOES AND MEN'S HATS —These are
not to be overlooked and this part of the store will contain
everything in men’s, women’s and children’s shoes, made by
the best factories and bought from first hands. Mens and
boys hats will also be kept up to the standard. Look at my
stock of Umbrellas and Parasols before buying,
A. L. MILLS.
P. S- W- F. Adams and Jno. F. Howard are with me and will be
glad to have their friends call to see them.

BARNESVILLE,GA., THURSDAY JANUARY 26, 1899.
A Fine Man.
Mr. R. E. L. Hawkins, of Forsyth,
was in the city last week looking over
the prospects for a tinner and plumb
er here. Mr. Hawkins has been high
ly recommended by Mi,'A. O. Bennit:
and citizens of Forsyth. He is a so
ber, industrious, hard working man
and would make a good citizen for
Barnesville.
Mr. Hawkins thinks there is a good
opening here for his business. He
desires to run a stock of waterworks
and electric light supplies in connec
tion with his tinning and plumbing
business, but there is not a store
room in town that he can secure
Barnesville needs Mr. Hawkins, and
we hope he can be induced to locate
here.
Grey Britt Again.
Grey Britt has added another
chapter to his book of crime. This
time it is stealing. On Saturday af
ternoon.Mr. 11. H. Gray was told by
a small negro boy that Grey had giv
en him a pipe not to tell on him for
stealing a sack of flour from Mr.
Gray’s store. Mr. AV 7 i 11 is had just
collected part of a fine from Grey’s
father fora row that Grey had raised
only a few weeks before. As lie
walked upon Main street, Mr. Gray
called to him and told him what had
happened. Mr. Willis went in search
for the young criminal and soon
found him. As Grey was carried to
the guard house he escaped and Mr.
Willis had a lively chase after him.
He was tried and convicted of larce
nv before Justice of the Peace Mur
pliey and carried to Zebulon by Bai
liff Stallings, where he was landed
safely in jail.
Judge Hammond Preaches.
Rev. E. W. Hammond of Griffin,
preached at the Baptist church Sun
day morning. He took for his text,
the subject: “I am made all tilings
to all men, that I might by all means
save some.” 1 Cor., ix:2'2. The
sermon was a most interesting one
and was listened to with great at
tention by the congregation. Dr.
Brittain, the pastor, preached at the
evening service.
Loading Cattle.
Mr. W. B. Veal is doing a big bus
mess in the cattle line. He scours
the country around, buying up all de
scriptions of cows and after fattening
them ships them, sometimes great dis
tances.
On Saturday afternoon a large
crowd gathered at the depot to wit
ness the loading ol a car. The herd
was driven upon the platform, the
bridge was laid down at the door oi
the car and being persuaded to go in
by different means of goading, they
took their places like soldiers dress
ing to the right. Mr. Veal also
shipped two kids in the car. He is
a hustling young man and is making
a success of this paying business.
A Good Back Band Factory.
Pike county has a back band fac
tory that seems to he whipping out
all competition. The Iverson &
Sterne factory is located at Milner.
The capacity of this enterprise is 5O
dozen a day. Mr. Iverson claims to
have the best back band on the mar
ket. Having no padding, it is less
I cumbersome and less liable to gener
ate heat than the other bands. We
believe in patronizing home industry,
by which we mean the industry of
our town, county or country; and we
rejoice with this factory in its suc
cess.
Askin—Horne.
On last Wednesday Mr. Frank As
kin of Brent, Monroe county, was
married to Miss Carrie Horne of
Horne, Ga., in Monroe count}', Rev.
W. W. Childs officiating. Mr. Askin
is from one of the best families in
Monroe and is well thought of by all
who know him. Miss Ilorne is one
of Monroe’s most charming daugh
ters and is of a nice family. She was
once a pupil of the Jos. E. Johnson
Institute and is well known to the
people of Yatesville. They have
many friends who wish for them a
long and happy life.—Yatesville En
terprise.
For Kent or Sale.
House and lot, seven rooms, Do
zier place. 50 horses and mules; 2
good milch cows. Cash to pay for
corn and hay. T. W. Cochran,
2t General Trader.
Mr. Horne Sick.
The people of Barnesville w ill re
trret to know that Mr. James M.
Horne, who lives at Horne, in Mot -
roe county, and who is well known
here, is quite dangerously ill. He is
a prosperous farmer and was one of
Monroe county’s commissioners up
to the time of the passage of the
present county commissioners law.
lie was for several years the justice
of the peace of Wedbone district, and
was also a delegate to the Democrat
ic state convention in IS9<>, when the
convention was held in Macon.
Willi Coca Coin Company.
Mr. J. M. Cochrane lias accepted
a position with the Coca Cola Cos. of
Atlanta, Ga., and will begin work
with them on the first of February.
Mr. Cochrane will probably have
headquarters in one of the large wes
tern cities, but his territory lias not
yet been definitely settled. He is an
unusually fine salesman and he will
render this big concern the very best
service. The position is a splendid
one and Mr. Cochrane has been
warmly congratulated on his good
fortune. He will leave Barnesville in
a few r days to begin his work.
FAIR NOTICE.
Don’t think you are too
good to get sued, lor as certain
as your account is not paid by
hebruary Ist, it will be in the
hands of my attorney to be
sued- Edgar L. Rogers.
Another Store-Building Needed.
There is a man who wishes to
come to Barnesville to put in a line
of goods, that is impeded by failure
to get a place. Although four store
rooms have been built here lately, all
the stores in town are filled up. It
might be a good investment for a
person owning suitable lots to put up
several store buildings.
They Will Kcturn.
Misses Mattie and Fayette Elliott
have returned to their home in Cul
lodcn. but they will return to Barnes
ville about the middle of February,
and will be located in the back of
the store now occupied by Maddux
& Son. They are well known here
and have always been liberally pat
ronized by the people of the eommu
nity.
To Teach at Andersouville.
Mr. James W. Thurman has se
cured a good position to teach school
at Andersonville, Ga., and has left to
take charge of the school. We arc
glad that he has been successful in
getting this position and hope that
lie will meet with prosperity in his
new field.
A man must reap as he sows. If In- sows
ill-health lie will reap ill-liealtli. If lie
neglects his health the weeds of disease
will grow up and choke it.
It is a daily and hourly marvel that men
will recklessly neglect their health, when
a moment’s thought should tell them that
they are courting death. It lies in most
every man’s power to live to a green old
age. If a man would only take the same
care of himself that he does of his horse, or
cow, or dog, he would enjoy good health.
When a man owns a hundred-dollar horse,
and it gets sick, he does n >t waste any time
about doctoring him up. When his garden
gets full of weeds, he doesn’t delay about
rooting them out, for he knows they will
choke out his vegetables. Wh<-n he is out
of sorts, sick, nervous, headachey, has no
appetite and is restless and sleepless at
night, he pays little attention to it. The
result is consumption, nervous prostration
or some serious blood or skin disease. Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the
best of all medicines for hard working men.
It gives edge to the appetite, facilitates the
flow of digestive juices, invigorates the
liver and purifies and enriches the blood.
It is the great blood-maker and flesh
builder. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases
of lingering coughs, bronchial and throat
affections, weak lungs, bleeding from lungs
and kindred affections. Do not wait until
the lungs are too far wasted to admit of
being cured.
" As you know, five years ago the doctors had
given me tip to die with consumption.” writes
Mr E. G. McKinney, of Deepwater, Payette Cos .

Pierce, and am entirely well now. I had taken
