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. • art ’ st who is in search /A'? of attitudes descriptive of viy torture, and poses depicting ®jtY ] suffering, need not go to the Jr- fw—Christian martyrs of )I j \ old.

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.

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.
