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. The descent CT" v flU# <O, Is certain from ) weak lungs, \ lingering V coughs, throat \ U troubles or \\' [O. \ bronchial \ Y affections 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.” Unfailable— Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellet* for constipation and biliousness.
