BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY 2 APRIL 6, 1899.
Tbe LlDraru Association.
According to notice, a meeting was
held at Gordon Institute Friday af
ternoon last in the interest of the
public library. There was a good
number of ladies and gentlemen
present. After discussing the inter
ests of the library, permanent officers
were elected as follows:
Prot. J. M. Pound, president; Mrs.
A. M. Lambdin, vice president; Mrs.
Otis A. Murphey, secretary. The
election of a treasurer was postponed.
Mr. F. M. Stafford is chairman of
a book committee which proposes to
buy about s6oo worth of books at
once. It is thought that the library
will be opened in the course of a
month or two, with probably two
thousand volumes. The book com
mittee was instructed to collect all
the library funds from the various per
sons having same, to be used in the
immediate purchase of books. Every
effort will be made to open the libra
ry at an early date. The members
of the Woman’s Club are greatly in
terested in the work and its success
will depend largely upon them. Mr.
George E. Huguley presented a plan
for the establishment of the library
on a firm foundation, insuring a large
number of volumes at once, which
was adopted by the association, and
he was made chairman of a com
mittee to carry the plans to success.
There are many who are greatly
interested, who are determined to
give Barnesville a first class public
library.
Thanks to Mr. Harrison.
The Easter egg hunt given Miss
Grace Woodward and Miss Donna
Bain by Mr. J. B. Harrison at Mag
nolia Inn on Saturday afternoon was
a delightful occasion and it is safe to
say there never was a happier set of
children than the seventy who en
gaged in the hunt. Little Miss Allie
May Neely won the girl’s prize for
finding the largest number of eggs
and master Clarence Murphey won
the boys prize. After the hunt
for the gaily colored* eggs on the
beautiful lawn was over the children
assembled on the broad veranda and
were served refreshments. They
endulged in the games which seemed
to give them much happiness and all
parties felt amply repaid for their ef
forts in giving them so much pleas
ure.
Employed by Tennille Chautauqua.
Mr. Charles T. Tyler has closed a
contract with the directors of the
Tennille Chautauqua for two days
there. He will be expected to fur
nish amusement for them and he will
doubtless do it to their perfect satis
faction. Mr. Tyler once traveled
with a troup and is really a man of
genius. Barnesville is really glad to
contribute so much toward the suc
cess of the Tennille Chautauqua and
we predict that Mr. Tyler will sustain
himself well by his performances.
Easter Egg Hunt.
The ladies of the Episcopal church
gave the children of the town an egg
hunt last Saturday afternoon, at the
residence of Mrs. Jno. T. Chambers.
A large number of little boys and girls
were present, and spent an enjoyable
time looking for the eggs, which had
been hid in many places out on the
lawn. It was a very pleasant occa
sion.
Easter Services.
Easter Sunday dawned clear and
bright, and while it was rather cool
for the enevitable “Easter suit,” yet
the churches were brightened with
the radiance of new hats and spring
gowns.
A large congregation had assem
bled at the Methodist church by 11
o'clock, and the services began with a
quartette, exquisitely rendered by
four of Barnesville’s best male voices,
Messrs. F. M. Stafford, C. T. Tyler,
G. F. Oliphant and Dr. A. P. Kemp.
Following, was a solo by Miss Belle
Rose, rendered with superb effect.
Then came an excellent sermon by
the pastor, Rev. W. S. Stevens,
whose text was the very appropriate
theme of the Resurrection. It was
delivered in a distinct, impressive
manner, and was listened to by a very
attentive congregation.
Brother Stevens announced that
the protracted services would be dis
continued,T>ut expressed a determina
tion to resume them after several
weeks.
JUDGE FRYER DIES.
Judge Z. L. Fryer died Friday af
ternoon about 5 o'clock at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Mays, near
Strouds. He went there some weeks
ago in declining health and from time
to time he gradually grew worse and
weaker until the end came, peacefully
and triumphantly, Friday. At the
time of his death he was surrounded
by a number of his children and other
loved ones. During his last days,
Judge Fryer was perfectly resigned to
go and he spoke of crossing the beau
tiful river of death in triumphant faith.
All who have been associated with
him for the past few years have known,
of his great growth in grace; and he
loved much the worship of the living
God. He rejoiced to hear the gospel
preached and the sweet songs of
Zion always rejoiced his soul. It
can well be said of him, blessed is he
because he died in the Lord,
Judge Fryer was born on April 30,
1828, and was therefore seventy-one
years old. He has always lived in
this community. Until a few years
ago he has always been strong and in
vigorous health, but he failed rapidly
and for the past year was quite feeble.
He was a good man, had a kind heart,
was a devoted husband, a loving and
helpful father and a generous friend.
Not many years since he joined the
Baptist church at Antioch, under the
preaching of Uncle Wash Oliver and
they have always loved each other
since. He was made a deacon by
the members of Antioch church and
when he moved to Barnesville he was
received into the Baptist church here
as a deacon, where his membership
remained until he died. He was
prominenfNuul influential in the affairs
of the communities where he lived
and he had a great many warm
friends throughout this section of the
state.
Dr. J. M. Brittain, his pastor,
preached the funeral Sunday morning
at 11 o’clock, and, in doing so he
paid a beautiful tribute to his life as
he knew him, telling ot many times
when they had sweet religious expe
riences together. There was a large
congregation at the funeral, from Bar
nesville and the surrounding commu
nities, to psjy a last tribute to his
memory. The remains were interred
in the cemetery on Zebulon street.
The Gazette tenders its sympathy
to all of the bereaved loved ones.
May the Good Spirit comfort and
help them in this sad hour.
Mrs. L. D. Owen Dies Suddenly.
Mrs. L. D. Owen died very sud
denly last Friday at her home near
Brent. She had been sick, but her
death was not expected by any one.
She was a good woman and had many
friends throughout the community,
all of whom mourn over her sudden
departure.

sands of
pie who are now in their graves would be
alive and well to-day if they had heeded
the first warnings of those troubles which
lead to consumption and death.
The hacking cough, spitting of blood,
weak lungs, and all similar troubles of the
organs of breathing, will surely lead to
consumption, if they are not already the
signs of it. ’ Then there are the other indi
cations of the approach of consumption,
such as night-sweats, emaciation, or wast
ing away of flesh from bad nutrition, which,
if neglected, lead to certain death.
Ninety-eight percent, of all the case* of
weak lungs, bleeding lungs, lingering and
obstinate coughs, and other bronchial and
throat diseases, which have been treated
with Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov
ery, have been cured by it. Do not wait
until your throat trouble becomes serious.
All bronchial and throat troubles are seri
ous. The time to take the “Golden Medi
cal Discovery ” is right at the start.
Kven if your throat trouble has been
neglected until it has been pronounced
pulmonary diseas • or consumption, do not
hesitate to use the “Golden Medical Dis
covery,” for thousands of letters from the
sufferers themselves, who are now well,
bear evidence that the “Golden Medical
Discovery” will cure, even after good phy
sicians have pronounced the disease pul
monary consumption.
1 I had been troubled with bronchitis for sev
eral years," writes Mrs. Orlin O'Hara, Bo* 114,
Fergus Falls, Ottertail Cos.. Minn. “In the first
place, I had sore throat. I doctored with differ
ent physicians and took various medicines, but
got no relief I raised from my throat a sticky
substance like the white of an egg. Could not
sleep, and had made up my mind that I would
not five through the winter. I took Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery and 1 Favorite Pre
scription ' alternately, and in a few days began
to set that I was better. I took eight t>ottles. I
have not felt as well in years as since using
these medicines.”
