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.

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.

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.

If a man as soon as he feels that he is not get ting the forceful strength and energy out of his food that he ought to, will begin tak ing Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, he will soon put himself im the position where he can do a man’s work easily and cheerfully. His appetite will be sharpened; his liver invigorated; his digestion strengthened; an edge put on his whole nutritive organism. 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 est druggist will give you the" Golden Medical Discovery" when you ask for it. If well-ill formed, he knows that its sales have steadily increased for thirty years and that it is the in vention of an educated, authorized physician who has devoted a life-time of active practice tad profound study to chronic diseases.
