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.

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 . W Va. I took treatment from Di. K V. Pierce, and am entirely well now. I had taken steadily, as directed, his 'Golden Medical Dis covery ” I>r Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure con stipation. One little ’’Pellet” is a dose. ATOMIZING PROFITS...
