THF, CREAMERY MEETING.
The Creamery meeting was held
in Kennedy’s opera house last Satur
day and there was a large attendance
of farmers and others interested. • .
Dairying was fully discussed by
gentlemen who are thoroughly famil
iar with the question and it was made
clear that through it prosperity would
come to individuals and communities.
Messrs. R. J. Redding and B. J.
Wing, of the Experiment station of
Georgia,Mr. John Wallis.of lowa, and
Mr. VV. C. Hill, who is familiar w’ith
the great Elgin dairying district, ad
dressed the meeting, and they covered
the question in all its different phases
and showed clearly that it certainly
meant prosperity and progress for all
who were engaged in it. It was an
enthusiastic meeting and will result
in good for agricultural interests.
A meeting will be held Saturday
afternoon next at 2 o’clock to receive
reports of the committees who are
getting up the pledges for milk to be
furnished the creamery. When these
reports are consolidated the creamery
enterprise will take business shape.
It will certainly mean much for the
entire section.
A Painful Accident.
The friends in Barnesville of Mrs.
Annie S. Cochraite have been
grieved to hear of a painful accident
which happened to tier recently.
Mrs. Cochrane had a fall which re
suited in fracturing her knee cap,
causing a serious wound.
Mrs. Cochrane is one of the in
stuctors in music at the Georgia Fe
male Seminary, and her reputation is
widening. She has introduced a
special course of musical pedagogics
into the school, of which she has
charge. Her many friends here have
rejoiced in her continued success and
have sympathized with her in her re
cent injury.
The Great Chautauqua.
The directors of the Barnesville
Chautauqua Association met last
Thursday afternoon for the purpose
of getting to work for the next Chau
tauqua, which will be held in July,
beginning on Sunday, July 2, and
closing Saturday night, July 8. The
directors are determined to present
•the most attractive program ever pre
sented in the South, if possible. Reg
ular meetings o'f the directors will be
held on the second and fourth Thurs
day afternoons of every month. The
people may expect great things from
the next Chautauqua.
We Welcome Them.
Mr. F. J. Minhir.nette arrived in
Barnesville Saturday night and will
make this his future home. Mr. Min
hinndtte’s family moved to Barnesville
several months ago. They have pur
chased the J. M. Cochrane place and
are very pleasantly located on Thom
aston street. Mr. Edwin Minhinnette
arrived in the city Sunday night. He
and his father were delayed at Ros
well by the closing out of business
interests.
Barnesville welcomes this estima
jble family into her midst Three of
the Minhinnette children were edu
cated in Barnesville and have warm
friends here.
The Gazette exrends a cordial
welcome.
Reeves Bros. Buy Holmes Building.
The Reeves Brothers, our hustling
grocery merchants, have purchased
the Holmes building, now occupied
by the Racket store and offices. This
is a large structure and is one of the
best business stands in Barnesville.
The Reeves Brothers began busi
ness in Barnesville several years ago
and with a small store have built up
a fine trade. They have met with
continued success and now own a
large stock. They are but one ex
ample out of many found here which
show what energy and pluck can do.
Mrs. Mcßae Moves to Barnesville.
Mis. Mcßae has moved to Barnes
ville from Brunswick, Ga. She comes
here to educate her children at Gor
don Institute and has moved into the
Stafford home on Thomaston street,
recently vacated by Dr. J. P. Thur
man. We extend a hearty welcome
to Mrs. Mcßae and her family.
AN INTERESTING ME.EJING-
The Current Topics department of
the Woman's Club met at the resi
dence of Mrs. 1.. K. Rogers at 2:30
p. m. Saturday. The meeting was
one of special interest. The subject
of discussion was ‘‘Cuba and the An
nexation of the Philippines.” A se
lect reading was rendered by Mrs. A.
M. Lambdin, on an interview with
the Czar of Russia. Miss Corinne
Elder gave a recitation. The essay
of Miss Carrie Cook on “The Distin
guished Dead of 1895." was splendid.
The paper was pronounced one of
the most beautiful and well read in
the history of the organization. It
will appear in the columns of next
week’s Gazette.
Avery interesting discussion was
engaged in generally on “Cuba and
the Annexation of the Philippines.”
Refreshments of cake and jellatine
were served by the little Misses
Chambers.
The next meeting of this branch
of the Woman's Club will be held at
the residence of Judge and Mrs. W.
A. Prout on March 4th.
KECEPIION TO MRS. JOHNSON.
Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson, of Rome,
president of the Georgia Federation
of Woman's Clubs arrived in Barnes
ville yesterday morning and she has
received a most cordial greeting from
the women of the city. Probably no
women in the state are more inter
ested or more actively engaged in
the work of the Woman's Club than
the women of Barnesville. All of them
will doubtless greatly enjoy the visit
of Mrs. Johnson and they re very
glad indeed to honor her. a
In the afternoon a reception was
given in honor of Mrs. Johnson by
Mrs. J. L. Kennedy at her beautiful
home on Zebulon street, and all who
know of the genuine and generous
hospitality of Mrs. Kennedy know
that the reception was not only a
very happy one, but also a brilliant
social event.
The work of the Woman’s club is
taking a broad scope in Georgia, and
a great interest is being awakened
among the women. Mrs. Johnson
reports that literature, music and art
are favorite studies in some clubs;
but civics, social economics, and do
mestic sciences are even more popu
lar. Philanthropic work is also being
projected. In Rome ahospiial and
a kindergarten aie being supported
by the Woman’s club. Traveling li
braries constitute another form of ac
tivity. Boxes of books are sent free
of all charge to a village or country
neighborhood, lent from house to
house for three months, re-collected
and sent on to another community.
In some towns Garden clubs, or Vil
lage Improvement societies, raise the
standards of beauty and cleanliness,
and also extend their good eflects to
country neighborhoods by distribut
ing seeds, cuttings and plants.

he will soon put himself im the position

His appetite will be sharpened; his liver
invigorated; his digestion strengthened; an

Those subtle poisons which debilitate the
entire organism and invite consumption
and a host of other diseases, will be driven
out of the system; and he will gain plenty
of pure nourishing red blood, muscle
power and nerve-force. In short he will
be a man among men.
There are hundreds of delusive temporary
stimulants, "malt extracts." sarsaparilla and
compounds, which are more or less "boomed"
by merely profit-seeking druggists: but an hon

formed, he knows that its sales have steadily
increased for thirty years and that it is the in

who has devoted a life-time of active practice
tad profound study to chronic diseases.
