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.

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.
