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.

The newsTrom there is favorable, however, and it is hoped that they may be able to return home in a few day.

A ([ o' \\\y woman who suffers \\ ® \\'**r from weakness and 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."
