| NEW SPRING MILLINERY,
; Our entire line of Spring Millinery is now in.
; It is the newest, and prettiest by all odds ever
; shown in Barnesville. Mrs. Mills and myself have
; been very careful and exactining in our selections.
; And from the stocks of all the first class wnole
; salers, we have culled the choicest and nobbiest.
; Spring productions in Hats, Ribbons and Flow
; ers have always been attractive and bright, but this
; season seems to have out done all. Now in
; order to get a hat that will make every lady ask,
; “Where did >ou get that hat! ” , you will have to
; come here. We intend to lead as we have always
; done with the up to-date things in Ladies Head
; wear, leaving others to follow and imitate if they
! can,
; EMBROIDERIES AND LACES.
; We sold out everything in these goods last sum
; mer, after duplicating several times. So there is
• nothing but new arrivals to pick from. We hold
j to our well earned reputation of being headquar
j 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
j 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.
Old Boreas has blowed his blow and spring is
• on us. Conte and let us show you through.

IWI GEORGIA INDUSTRIAL
ROME
Rev. W. E. Mumford, founder and
president of the Georgia Industrial
Hone, was in Barnesville Saturday
and Sunday in the interest of the in
stitution which he represents. Sun
day afternoon he made an address at
the Methodist church. It was very
interesting and appealed to the hearts
of the people present. Rev. Mr.
Mumford made a favorable impression
for himself and his work, and the con
tribution from Barnesville is a good
one. The Gazette publishes a list
of the contributions at the request of

A Pleasant Party.
Friday evening fast, Miss Pldwina
Williams entertained a few of her
friends at the home of Mrs. John T.
Chambers on Greenwood street. The
evening was quite a pleasant one to
all the guests. Besides the other
pleasing features, refreshments added
much to the occasion. Miss Williams
is one of the most popular young
ladies in Barnesville.

Miss Jean Mitchell Elected.

Mr. Pope Buys Enterprise.
Rev. 4 \. B. Pope, of Zebulon, well
known throughout this section, has
purchased the Concord Enterprise
and will hereafter edit 'and publish
the paper. He is a writer of ability
and will no doubt make it a very in
teresting paper. We wish him success.
BROTHER HUNTER LEAVES-1
Rev. W. M. Hunter, who has been
the faithful pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Barnesville for the past
three years, has severed his connec
tion with this church and with the
churches at Thomaston, Forsyth, and
Senoia, to accept anew field of labor.
He has accepted the church at Black
shear, Ga.. to which church he will
devote half his time. The balance of
his time will be given to the work of
evangelist for the Savannah Presby
tery, succeeding Dr. J. B. Mack.
Brother Hunter has done a good
work in this section. It was largely
through his efforts that the beautiful
Presbyterian church was built at
Barnesville and all the other churches
served by him have made progress
under his administration as pastor.
The following resolutions adopted
by the members of the Barnesville
Presbyterian church, express the es
teem in which he is held by the
church and by the community:
“Recognizing the worth and the
true Christian piety of the Rev. W.
M. Hunter, and knowing the faithful
manner in which he has performed
the various duties incumbent upon
him as pastor of this church, we
desire to express our appreciation of
him as a man and -as a minister of the
Gospel, and to thank him for his un
tiring efforts in all matters pertaining
to our good. Therefore be it resolved:
That we, as a church and as a con
gregation, do hereby express to him
our appreciation, respect, esteem and
love.
That, while regretting his going
away from us we will unite with him
in asking the Presbytery to dissolve
the pastoral relations between him
and this church, since he feels that
God has called him to anew field of
labor and that he can do more good
therein.
That we express to him our best
wishes for his success in his new work,
praying that God will use him as an
instrument for doing much good.
A Citrar Factory.
Mr. Ben Ellis has moved his cigar
factory from Waycross to Barnesville
and probably before this week is out
he will be manufacturing Barnesville
cigars. The rooms in the Murphey
building, opposite The Gazette of
fice, have been rented and for the
present the fadtory will be operated
the r e. Mr. Ellis wanted a room on
the first fioor but there was none to
be had. The factory works from three
to six persons, depending upon the
demand tor cigars. About six brands
are manufactured and they have en
joyed a good sale throughout the
country. Mr. Kllis expects to push
his enterprise and it may be only a
short time when Barnesville will have
a cigar factory of large proportions.
The people will wish Mr. Ellis and
his enterprise well.

sllf fc r 111 g, the
‘ despair, and the
despondency endured by women who
carry a daily burden of ill-health and pain
because of disorders and derangement of
the delicate and important organs that are
distinctly feminine. One of the worst
effects of troubles of this kind is upon the
nervous system. The torture* so bravely
endured completely and effectually shatter
the nerves. Or. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription is an unfailing cure for all weak
ness.and disease of the feminine organ
ism. It makes it strong and healthy. It
allays inflammation, heals ulceration and
soothes pain. It checks exhausting drains
and tones and builds up the nerves. It
fits for wifehood and ntotln 1 hood, flood
medicine dealers sell it, ar.tr have nothing
“just as good.”
. “ Since my last child war. born, thirteen years
ago. I have suffered from uterine trouble,"
writes Mrs. Paul Uevraine, of Jellico, Campbell
Cos.. Tenn. "I consulted several doctors and
took much medicine, but found no relief. Iliad
very had health for twelve y<-ars. Every month
1 was in bed a week before the monthly period
and a week after. I was obliged to keen in bed
for four months last, summer. I was just like
a corpse. 1 lost twenty-six pounds in four
months. I was coughing so much I was con
sidered in consumption, I suffered severely
from pains in my back, bearing down pains in
the womb, chills and cold sweats. After taking
four bottles of I>r Pierce’s Golden Medical Ilis
covery my coughing stopped, and after six
lxrttles of br. Pierce's Favorite Prescription my
periods became regular and were passed with
out pain. Now I am fleshy, more so than
ever liefore. My neighbors are surprised to see
me in such good health after having seen me
so low."
Constipation causes and aggravates many
serious diseases. It is speedily cured by
Hr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets.
