We hold to our well earned reputation of being headquar ters for Embroideries and Laces. DRY GOODS AND NOTIONS. Our first order of Dry Goods and Notions went down at sea in the great February storm, so urgent were the demands of the Mermaids that they took all of our fashions freaks to wrangle over in the Caverns of a “Hundred Fathoms deep.” Yet their gain is notour loss,for they have been dupli cated in every item by newer and later designs.

THIRD ANNIVERSARY HR. BRITTAIN' RECEIVES MANY CONGRATULATIONS. Dr. J. M. Brittain, pastor of the Baptist church of Barnesville. has heard many kind expressions during the past few days, expressions of love and confidence and esteem. Three years ago he came to Barnesville with his family, and began his labors. His Godly walk and conversation, his sympathetic, loving heart, and his work as a preacher and pastor, have endeared him to the membership of the Baptist church and also to the entire citizenship of the little city. It was very timely and appropriate therefore that his third anniversary as pastor here should be celebrated. Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock at the Baptist church a special service was held, to which the people of all the denominations of the city were invited. There was a large congre gation present and it was an enthusi astic meeting. Members ot all the churches were present in represent! tive numbers and throughout the meeting was-harmenious, and brother ly love and the sweetest Christian fellowship were manifested by the entire congregation. It was indeed good to be there and the service was one of great pleasure. The following program shows the order of the service and it was unusu ally interesting: Reading Scriptutes by pastor. Two ten minute talks as follows: (a) The Necessity of Personal Work by all the Members.—Dr. T.J. Watts. (b) The Importance of attending all church services by all the members.— Dr. J. P. Thurman. Vocal Solo—Miss Mary Lovelace. Three ten minute talks as follows: (a) Regular, systematic contributions from all the members essential to the successful management of church finances—B. H. Hardy. (b)Thorough, cheerful co-operation of all the mem bers indispensably necessary to secure the best pastoral success.—Rev. W. S. Stevens, (c) Brotherly love, the binding force that links together Christ’s disciples in beautiful har mony.—Rev. Rolfe Hunt. Two five minute talks as follows: How necessary our pastors are and how we may be helpful to them.— Maj. J. T. Hunt and LI. M. Fletcher. While singing hand-shaking, wish ing each other happiness in Christ's service, and covenanting together to pray earnestly and labor diligently for greater consecration, that we may be more efficient laborers in the Lord's Vineyard. A “BUFFET LUNCHEON.” Monday afternbon a “Buffet Lun cheon” was given by the Ladies’ Mite Society of the Baptist church at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Kennedy, complimentary to Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Brittain. It was a delight ful event. There were present only members of the society and the dea cons of the church, with their wives, (those who have them.) Everybody present seemed to be in the happiest humor and joined heartily in the spirit of the purpose of the gathering. After instrumental music by Mrs. S. P. Neely, Mrs. B. M. Turner, pres ident of the society, read the follow ing beautiful paper. Addressing Dr. and Mrs. Brittain, she said: “In behalf of the ladies of the Mite Society I want to say that this occa sion is intended to bespeak our love for, and appreciation of you. To you, Dr. Brittain, I wish to say that during the three years in which you have been pastor of the Barnes viile Baptist church, you have led its membership in green pastures and beside still waters. Your care for your people has been constant, loving and tender. Our sor rows have been your sorrows, our joys your joys. When the hand of affliction has been laid upon us or our loved ones your visits and your prayers have comforted us. When Death has entered homes and taken loved ones away, it was the pastor who came with words of comfort and heart of sympathy. In times of prosperity and success you have rejoiced with those who had cause to rejoice. More than all this, you have bro ken to us the bread of life. It has been your constant effort to lead us onward to higher and holier Chris tian living. . Your faithful service to us as a so ciety, I want to assure you, is highly appreciated by each of its members. You have come through cold and I rain and heat to serve us. Your prayers with us and for us have touched our hearts and permeated our lives. You have directed, encouraged and helped us in our work. You, Mrs. Brittain, have been a faithful co-laborer and an indispensa ble part of our organization. You have been to us as the rose to the summer or the violet to winter— ever bringing joy and pleasure with you. Asa friend, neighbor and Chris tian, you have been helpful, kind and true. To both of you may the future be full of the glad sunshine of life, and when called upon to go up higher may you feel that like Paul you have fought a good fight and have kept the faith.” Other pleasant features of this part ot the afternoon were a song by Mrs. J. L. Kennedy and Mrs. W. C. Jen kins, a talk by Dr. T. J. Watts and instrumental music by Mrs. Mae Prout. Dr. Brittain was called upon and responded in a very appropriate talk. He said he was*overwhelmed at the kindness shown him and he wanted to thank all concerned. He spoke of his coming to Barnesville and of his labors here. He said he wanted to see an ideal church and an ideal pastor. He wanted his church to do better work in all lines in the future and he promised to do all that he could, asking continued co-operation on the part of the entire membership. In a contest over a series of Bible questions Judge W. A. Prout was awarded the prize, answering twenty four questions correctly out of thirty one. The refreshments served were el egant and delightful, consisting of turkey and salad, ambrosia, gelatine and cakes, chocolate and coffee. The “Buffet Luncheon” was decid edly successful and will long be re membered by every one present. Mrs. Kennedy was assisted in enter taining by Mrs. W. A. Prout, Mrs. Mae Prout, Mrs. S. P. Neely, Mrs. W. C. Jenkins and Mrs. J. R. Jen kins. The Congregational Methodists Will have preaching by their pastor at the Presbyterian Church, Barnes viile, at 3p. m., the first Sunday in each month until further announce ment.

The directors are making up the program and splendid progress is being made. Mke§ him in for that a. happy, I door of disease spring to and shut them off from all the bright hopes they labored for. A sick man cannot be happy; he cannot accomplish the work he has to do in this world; he loses the very money he is striv ing; for ; his ambition defeats itself. Any man who discovers that his strength and energy are giving way has an unfailing means of regaining his physical health and stamina in the simple yet all-potent restor ative power of tnat wonderful " Golden Medical Discovery ” originated by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y., the world-famous specialist in diseases of the nutritive or ganism. Among th thousands who have consulted him bv mail the case of Mr. Newton B. Blake, of Tiplersville, Tippah Cos., Mis*., as shown in the following letter indicates the remarkable efficacy of his treatment : "In December 1895 niv health began to fail. I tried many different kinds of medicines and the more I took the worse the dis ease grew. Finally in April when I wr.s busy with the farm work iny health got so bad that I could not hold out to work one hour. My breath became short and I was weak and nervous, and oftentimes would spit blood. I was unable to work. I tried one of the doctors in the vicinity but failed to obtain relief. I seemed to grow worse My father received a book from Dr. Pierce in which I read of a case similar to mine, and decided to write to Dr. Pierce. He recom mended me to take Ills • Golden Medical Discov ery.’ AfteT taking six bottles of this remedy I can recommend it as one of the best medicines to build up the system. I am now enjoying good health.” Torpid liver and constipation are surely and speedily cured by Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They never gripe. They regulate, tone up and invigorate the liver, stomach and bowels. No substitute urged by mer cenary dealers is as good.
