The meetings of the Woman’s club
increase in interest. One of the best
papers yet presented was read by Dr.
Lena Whitfort at the residence of
Mr. E. 1.. Rogers last Saturday after
noon. Her thoughts were practical
and clearly expressed. It is hoped
that the entire article will be pub
lished so that every housekeeper can
have her suggestions for reference in
providing and prepaiing food for her
household.
Mrs. J. W. Hightower was elected
chairman of the Home Scieuce sec
tion.

Physical Culture section will be held

inclemency of the weather, it is ur

Chautauqua Directors to Meet.
The directors of the Barnesville
Chautauqua Association will meet
this (Thursday) afternoon at 4 o’clock
in the office of the Barnesville Sav
ings Bank, There will be matters of
much importance to come before the
directors. The work for the next
Chautauqua, July 2-8, has already
begun and it begins to brighten al
ready. The directors are at work on
plans which will in all probability be
successfully carried out, that will
bring more people to Barnesville than
were ever seen here before. It is
certain to be the biggest and best
Chautauqua ever held in the state.
Archdeacon Walton Preaches.
The Episcopalians of Barnesville
held services Sunday night at the
Presbyterian church. The services
were led by Archdeacon Walton,
who preached a very strong sermon
on the text; “What is man?”
Archdeacon Walton held a special
service for the members of the
church on Monday morning. There
are several members of this church in
Barnesville. They own a lot on'
Thomaston street, on which they hope
at some time in the future to erect a
handsome edifice. The church has
regular services here during the year,
which are led by Rev. George A.
Whitney of Griffin.
Plenty of Milk.
The creamery now seerns to be an
assured thing for Barnesville. Mr.
Hill, one of the main men of the en
terprise, says that it will be no trou
ble to get the amount of milkneeded.
This will be a gxeat thing for the
farmers of this section. Mr. Hill has
lived in a section that had a cream
ery and saw the benefits that were
derived from it. It will put a great
deal of spare money in the hands of
the planters of this section and they
will utilize it by making the milk.
TWO NEW CHURCHES-
It is said that there are going to
be two new churches erected in Bar
nesville this year. The Episcopalians
have already purchased a lot on
Thomaston street on which they in
tend to build. Arch-deacon Walton
was in Barnesville Sunday and Mon
day and it is said that he told his
members that the erection of the
church was assured.
It is also reported that the Congre
gational Methodists will build a church
here this year. This denomination
has a good membership here. They
have held services in Barnesville for
several years. Their church will be
quite an addition.
Making np Program.
Prof. Jere M. Pound, who is presi
dent of the Georgia Teacher’s Asso
ciation, is making up the program for
the next annual convention, which
will probably be held at Cumberland
Island, the last week in June or the
first week in July, between Gordon
Institute commencement and the
great Barnesville Chautauqua. Prof.
Pound is anxious to make the con
vention a great success and no doubt
he will succeed. He will present* a
fine program and will urge the teach
ers from all over the state to attend.
To Improve Telephone Exchange.
Col. J. J. Rogers will soon greatly
improve the Barnesville Telephone
system. He has already ordered a
new switch board and other necessary
equipments which will arrive soon
and with which he hopes to give
Barnesville a highly satisfactory tele
phone system. All these improve
ments will be made just as soon as
the new equipments arrive.
A Serious Cutting Affair.
Recently there occurred a very se
rious cutting affair in the Second
district of Pike county in which Mr.
William Perkins was shot and cut by
Mr. Robert Shockley. Mr. Pericins
lies at his home in a critical condi
tion with twenty-three knife wounds
and one bad gunshot wound; three of
the cuts reaching to the hollow, one
of which is just above the heart.
Everything is being done to alleviate
the suffering of the wounded man and
save his life that can be done by Dr.
Wells and neighbors. Shockley was
arrested on Sunday and is now in jail
in Zebulon.
It is a very unfortunate affair and
greatly regretted by the‘entire neigh
borhood as they have both lived
neighbors all their lives and raised
boys together. Mr. Shockley is a
young man of good business qualifi
cations, of good family, while Mr.
Perkins is a man of family with a wife
and six or seven children, a good
neighbor, kind hearted and obliging
to all, of good family.

Some people need to have their natural
vigor constantly reinforced in the same
proportion that it is used up. They need
the fortifying help of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It is a powerful altera
tive and invigorant of the digestive func
tions and liver; it cleanses the blood, and
makes fresh blood and healthy flesh. Nerv
ous. debilitated women should take it in
conjunction with Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription which is specially designed for
female weakness and nervous troubles.
Mrs. Bailie Kauffman, of Virgil City, Cedar Cos.,
Mo., writes: I had suffered from displacement
of internal organs and female weakness for one
year. Had a Tearing down sensation and very
disagreeable feeling after my second child was
born; f could be on my feet only a few minutes
until he was six we as old, then I commenced
taking I>r. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery
and ’ Favorite Prescription.’ I took seven bot
tles in all. After taking the first bottle I felt
much better. I think lam entirely cured of all
my troubles. I can do all my work and am on my
feet all day. lam in much better health now
than I have b-en in four years; am fleshy and
gaining strength very fast "
By writing to Dr. Pierce who is chief
consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
careful professional advice will be obtained
free of cost and specially adapted to the
individual case. Dr. Pierce’s great tooo

to do business with the bargains I offer

has been unqualifiedly successful from
the start, has grown with my gorwth,

for less money than you get elsewhere. There
are times when for the sake of appearances oth
ers will cut a price here and there to meet mine,
in an effort to disprove this claim, but that
proves nothing. I lead in price reduction, and
my foot prints are too broad to be covered by
tip-toe followers. Take my line of the famous
Brown shoes, of which I have just received 82
cases, in the newest and latest shapes, for men

compare my prices with those of any or all oth

style and price. These shoes are guaranteed for
the highest value in foot wear. See them be
