BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY APRIL 13, 1899.
fl GOODTNTbRTfIINMENT.
The entertainment at Goidon Institute tomorrow (Friday)
evening is well worthy the patronage of all the people of Bar
nesville. All the young people in the entertainment have
worked hard to perfect themselves in the performance of
their various parts and that they have succeeded remarkably
well will be evidenced by its success as presented on the
stage at the auditorium tomorrow night. The drama is en
titled “The Young Confederate,” and it will be enjoyed. It
is exciting and being a departure somewhat from the usual
school entertainments, it is certain to please the audience. It
is creditably gotten up and in itself, it really merits a liberal
patronage, aside from the fact that the proceeds are for Gor
don Institute. Leteverybody in Barnesville be present.
Kcnncdfl—Parker-
Sunday afternoon at the home of
the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.
F. Kennedy near Antioch church,
Miss Glennie Estella Kennedy was
happily married to Mr. Shelton W.
Parker of Columbus, Ga. The cer
emony was performed by Dr. J. M.
Brittain in the presence of a large
number of friends and relatives. The
two young people have many ac
quaintances, all of whom join The
GazetTe in extending hearty con
gratulations. After the ceremony an
elegant and elaborate dinner was
served to the enjoyment of all. The
future home of Mr. and Mrs. Parker
will be in Columbus, Ga.
Quite nn Addition. ,
The plans for the addition to the
home of Mrs. VV. W. Arnold on Elm
street have been received and they
show that the addition will be a very
important one and will add much to
the already handsome home. It will
be a wing to the house, extending
east on Elm street. The new portion
will be elegantly finished up. The
roof will be arranged for flowers, and
Mrs. Arnold has already ordered
some fine flowers for it. This im
provement will beginjas early as pos
sible now. Mr. A. O. Bennett has
the contract tor the work.

Loss Not so Heavy.
Mr. G. W. Milner, whose house
was recently burned near Zebulon, de
sires the Gazette to correct its state
ment as to the extent of the fire.
Nearly everything was saved from the
house, and there was little loss ex
cept the houses themselves. There
was no insurance however, and the
people sympathize with Mr. Milner
over the results of the fire.

Griffin District Conference.
The Griffin district conference of
he Methodist church will convene at
Culloden some time in July. There
are sixteen pastoral charges in the
district and about stxty four churches.
The official attendance at the confer
ence will not fall much short of a
hundred. It is thought the session
will last three days as there is much
work to come before the body. Cul
loden extends a hearty invitation to
the public to attend the exercises of
the conference. The Barnesville
Methodist church is in the Griffin dis
trict and will have a good delegation
at the conference.
A Fine Record.
Mr. Meritt Thurman, who gradua
ted from Gordon Institute last year,
is making a fine re'eord at the Uni
versity of Georgia at Athens. His
report for March was marked ex
cellent in eveiy study This is rather
a remarkable report. He was also
recently given another high honor.
He was elected president of his so
ciety, the Phi Kappa, which is an
honor not olten given anew man at
college. Mr. Thurman’s friends have
reason to be proud of him.
Hud a Relapse.
The people of Barnesville regret
ted very much to hear last week that
Mr. C. Gainer Turner had suffered
a relapse in New York City, and was
again in bed with fever. He and
Mrs. Turner, his mother who is there
with him, expected to reach home
last week, but this relapse will delay
their return. The newsTrom there is
favorable, however, and it is hoped
that they may be able to return home
in a few day.

([ o' \\\y woman who suffers

0 \ Vr disease in a woman
\f ly way sits in scarrow
and dejection while
her healthy sisters enjoy themselves. She
may be naturally beautiful, naturally attrac
tive, naturally interesting and animated
and witty, but the demon of ill-health i.s
gnawing at the very vitals of her womanly
nature, and she soon becomes a withered
wall flower in comparison with her brighter
and more healthy sisters. Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription is a wonderful medi
cine for women who suffer in this way. It
acts directly on the delicate and important
organs concerned in wifehood and mother
hood. It tones and builds up the shattered
nerves. It restores the glow of health to
the pallid cheek. It gives springiness and
trip to the carriage. It makes the eyes
sparkle with returning vivacity. It imparts
animation to the mien and gestures. The
fan that lay listless and idle in the lap
of an invalid again speaks the eloquent
language of a healthy, happy woman.
Thousands of women have testifed to the
marvelous merits of this wonderful medi
cine.
“ For several year* I suffered with prolapsus
of the uterus,” writes Miss A. I tee Schuster, of
Box 12, Rodney, Jefferson Cos., Mis*. "Our fam
ily physician treated me for kidney trouble, and
everything else but the right thing. I grew
worse and worse. My body was emaciated,
hands and feet clammy and cold, stomach weak,
with great palpitation of the heart. I would
suffer with nausea all night. I began taking
your ' Favorite Prescription ' and I began to im
prove right away. I nave taken three bottles
aDd now I am very nearly well and am very
happy and thankful to you."
Keep your head up and your bowels open.
The “Golden Medical Discovery” will put
steel in your backbone, and Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets will cure constipation.
