L>fIWSfIE—MURPHEY,
The marriage of Miss Emily Verd
rey Murphey of this city, to Mr. Er
Lawshe of New York, occurred, at
the residence of the bride’s father.
Col. A. A. Murphey on Thursday af
ternoon last at 4:30 o’clock. The
wedding wds a quiet affair, only the
nearest relatives of the bride and
groom being present.
The room in which the ceremony
occurred was tastefully decorated
with flowers and foliage. Banks of
palms and ferns were massed at the
western widow of the room, where
stood the ministers and the bride and
groom. Suspended from an arch of
evergreens were the letters “L” and
“M.”
Alter the ceremony had been con
cluded the newly united couple stood
to receive the congratulations and
good wishes of those who witnessed
the affair. To the strains ot Mendels
shon's wedding march played by Miss
Carrie Cook, the maid of honor, Miss
Belle Murphey, sister of the bride,
came into the parlor. Following her
were Col. Murphey and the bride,and
after them came Mr. Lawshe with
Mr. Reid J. Hunt, his best man.
The sweet and simple ceremony was
impressively pronounced by the Rev.
VV. S. Stevens.
The bridal party left on the 5:37
train for Atlanta from whence they
proceeded to New York, their future
home. Mrs. Lawshe, nee Miss Mur
phey, is too well known to the people
of Barnesville and her friends here
are too numerous to make necessary
any words of praise. In winning her
Mr. Lawshe has taken from Barnes
ville one of its fairest daughters. Mr
Lawshe is a son of the late Col. Er
Lawshe. one of Atlanta’s pioneer citi
zens. Mr. Lawshe was formerly a
resident there, but is now actively
interested in Metropolitan journalism.
Among those who were present
were Dr. and Mrs. John B. Lawshe,
Mrs. Eugene Hardeman and Miss
Martha Lawshe of Atlanta.
The Gazette join's a host of friends
here and elsewhere in extending con
gratulations.
McDowell—Whittle.
Sunday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. A. C. Whittle, the mother of the
bride, Miss Annie .Whittle was united
in marriage to Prof. R. D. McDowell,
Dr. J. M. Brittain performing the
ceremony in his usual happy style.
This union has been rumored for
some time past but it was only a few
days ago that it became known to the
public that Sunday last was the day
set : part for the ceremony. Both the
parties are quite well known in Bar
nesville, having been reared here,
and both have a very large number
of friends, all of whom extend warm
est congratulations. The ceremony
was witnessed by quite a number of
relatives and intimate friends. Prof,
and Mrs. McDowell left at once for
Canton, N. C., where Prof. McDowell
is engaged in teaching school.
The Gazette joins the entire com
munity in wishing them a long, happy
and useful life.
School Children Marry.
The Pike County Journal Saturday
says:
“Tuesday at ii o’clock Judge W.
M. Hartley united Mr. John Hucka
by and Miss Sallie Mercer in marriage.
These young people have been at
tending school at Midway. They
became very much smitten on one
another and decided that it was out
of the question to stay single longer.
At recess on Tuesday they quietly
stole away, secured a horse and bug
gy, drove to Zebulon, procured license
and were married as stated above.
They are both quite popular in the
community in which they live and
have the best wishes of a host of
friends.”
Dressmaking.
Miss Lizzie Johnstone, having re
turned from her stay in Atlanta, is
now ready to serve her friends and
customers with *ll work which may be
entrusted to her. While in Atlanta
she informed herself with regard to
all the latest fashions, styles and fab
rics and is prepared not only to do
the work given her, but to advise
about purchases in spring goods, and
she and her sister, Miss Mamie John
stone, will be glad to be of any assist
ance possible to their customers and
as usual they will appreciate a liberal
patronage. They are among the fin
est dressmakers in the state. 1
THE WOMAN'S CLUB.
The regular monthly meeting of
the Woman's Club was held at the
residence of Mayor W. B. Smith on
Saturday afternoon. Many beatiful
specimens of fancy work made by the
ladies of the Art sectioa were display
ed and a most interesting program
was rendered which proved that the
members of this section are equally
adept in the use .of the needle, the
piano and the pen. An instrumental
duet by Mesdames Otis Murphey and
J. C. Collier awakened hearty ap
plause and Mrs. Charles H. Perdue
read an instructive and well-written
paper on needle work. By request
Miss Kathryn Lockhart gave a
charming recitation. The program
was concluded by a sketch of this
section of the club written in verse
and read by Mrs. J. F. Redding.
She was highly complimented by the
audience.
A committee was appointed to ar
range and take charge of a series
of entertainments for the benefit of
the library, consisting of:
Mrs. Otis A. Murphey, chairman;
Mrs. J. L. Kennedy,
Mrs. Dr. Kemp,
Mrs. E. L. Rogers,
Miss Carrie Cook.
Miss Lillian Mitchell.
Prof. Pound’s offer of a room in
the Institute for future meetings of
the club was accepted with thanks.
Delightful refreshments were served
by Mrs. Smith, who, by her gracious
entertainment of the club, has scored
another success as a charming hostess.
The April meeting of the club will
be under the auspices of the Literary
Section, which has secured the con
sent of Prof. Oliphant to deliver a
lecture on “The Idyls of the King.”
A treat is in store for that occasion.
Gordon Institute’s Laurels.
Gordon Institute leads all the edu
cational institutions of the state and
it always does it. There can be no
better proof than that which is brought
to public attention this year, as a
result of the war with Spain.
President McKinley appointed four
Georgians to be second lieutenants
in the regular army and it is a signifi
cant fact that three of the four ie
ceivcd their military, training in
Barnesville at Gordon Institute. The
three young men are Messrs. li. J.
Williams of Titton, Charley dußignon
of Savannah, and Graham Johnson
of Atlanta. * The fourth young man
appointed is the son of ex-Gov. Bui
lock, and he was taught by Prof.
Pound, president of Gordon Institute,
in Atlanta, when Prof. Pound was
connected with Mean's High School
some years ago.
It is a record which is without
parellel, and it should cause the peo
ple of Barnesville to be even prouder
than ever of Gordon Institute.
A wreck at sea is not the only place
where a life line is of importance.
There is a life line for the sick, as well as
for the drowning man. It is I)r. Pierce’S
Golden Medical Discovery. It is not a
cure-all, but it is a scientific medicine that
goes to the fountain head of a number of
serious and fatal diseases. When a man
gets seriously sick, he can generally be
cured by the right course of treatment.
The treatment that cures many obstinate
chronic diseases consists of pure air, good
food, rational exercise, and the use of a
remedy that will strengthen the weak
stomach, correct the impaired digestion,
invigorate the liver and promote the as
similation of the live-giving elements of
the food. The “Golden Medical Discov
ery ’’accomplishes all these things.
A young man fay pale and motionless upon
(what neighbors calleaj his dying bed. IJiaeaHV
of the lungs, liver complaint, kidney trouble, and
pleurisy were fast hastening him to the grave.
The doctors had given him up to die. The
neighbors said, he cannot live.’ ‘Oh, I would
not care to die,' he said, * were it not for leaving
my dear wife and little child, but I know that I
must die.’ A brother had presented him with
three bottles of medicine, but he had tto faith in
‘ patent medicines'; but, aft#r the doctors had
gyien hint up to die and he had banished every
hope of recovery, he said to his wife, ' dear wife.
I am going to (fie. there can be no harm now in
taking that medicine. I will begin its use at
once.” He did begin to use it and at first he
grew worse, but soon there came a change
Slowly but surely he got better. To-day that
man is strong and healthy and he owes his life
to that medicine. What was the medicine? It
was Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, aud
I, Luther Martin, am the cured man. Dr.
Pierce, I thank you from the very depth of my
heart, for rescuing me from the grave.” The
foregoing is from Luther Martin, Ksq . a promi
nent citizen of Lubcc, Wood Cos., W. Vs.
Dr. Milos' Notts Plaster* tor Rheumatism.
