Prof. Olipfiant’s Lecture.
The president of the Woman's
Club echoed the sentiment of all
when she introduced ibof. Oliphant
with the statement that "he fitted
into Barnesville and her interests so
well it was surprising how we did
without him so long.
His lecture on “The Idyls of The
King,” riveted attention from the be
ginning, anti the audience felt re
freshed by coming in contact with
the pure, lofty intellect of a strong
minded man.
The lecture sparkled with wit.
He told how a young orator always
fingered a ccitaiu button on bis coat
for inspiration. On one occasion
the button was missing arid he re
tired under the oppressive in
fluence of a dismal failure. It was
neccessary the Professor speak in
reach of a table.
It touched with pathos. He bad a
feeling akin to the orphan boy's the
first time he called on his mother to
assist with his lesson and she could
not. What an eloquent appeal to
home makers to keep abreast with
the times.
The poet-laureate’s masterpiece
shone with new beauty under bis
study and research. His logic was
sound, his reasoning clear and he
proved himself familiar with the finer
fibers of a poets’-soul.
The ladies are grateful to Prof.
Oliphant for the courtesy in accept
ing their invitation and the compli
uient shown them in the excellency
of the lecture.

The usual order was observed in

On The Sea Of Gallilee
"And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and
.S lid unto the flea, Peace be still.' ”
liV MuS. .1 S. POPE.
’Twns evening, and the setting sun
Slow (lipped beneath the wave,
And t eqjcli ripple eddying on,
A pearly rose-tint gave.
Mt, Jlermon, snow-crowned, towering
high,
Gleamed golden, in its light.
While every loftier peak outlined,
Reflected glories bright.
The golden flood rolled softly down,
And tipped each minaret fair,
Each dome and temple.in the town,
Was bathed in beauty rare.
A little ship, with white sails set,
Moved swiftly o’er the deep—
I,ike some winged bird.—While in its
hold
The Master lay asleep.
He slept while in thy azure sky,
The stars flashed one by one.
The pale moon hung her lamp on high,,
To tell that day ws done.
Ileslept. When lo! from out the West,
The tempest rushed amain!
The lightning tore the storm cloud’s
breast,
And drenched the world in rain.
The wild winds heat the shivering craft,
The pitiless waves rolled high,
Grim death seemed riding on the blast,
That filled the sea and sky.
Tlic trembling seamen, pale with fear,
Crouched low before that tide,
’Till, impulse—stirred, they a’l drew
near
The sleeping Master’s side.
He slept. While o’er his features now,
The lurid lightni.g played.
And weary lines on lip and brow,
His sorrowing hearl>betrayed.
One spoke: “Ho! Master, dost then
sleep,
While all is wll 1 alarm,
Csrest thou not that we perish
Amid the sea and storm?”
The Master arose from his couch,
And by his mighty will—
Rebuked the wind and to the waves
Said calmly. “Peace, lie still.”
He looked Into each awe-struck face,
“Why do ye fear?” Me said,
“Have ye no faith?" and in amaze,
Low bowed each guilty head.
The murmuring waves sank soPly down,
The winds,like zephyrs stirred.
While evening, calm and starry
crowned,
Thro’ rifts of cloud appeared.
So. cal.n in faith, may we rejoice,
ilis will, become our will.
Then troubled hearts will hear h s voice
Speak sweetly: “Peace ho still.”

About Mud Dogs.
On Sunday morning, April 16, a
strange dog described by the servants
on the place as being a medium sized
red and part hound dog came through
the lawn moving rapidly and acting
like mad dogs are said to do, and bit
a pointer dog belonging to Dr. R. O.
Cotter. Dr. Cotter did not see the
dog at all, as it ran otT rapidly. As
the wounds on the pointer’s face were
quite plain Dr. Cotter at once chain
ed up his dog in a pen, where it will
be kept and watched a month, if
necessary. Dr. Cotter would be very
glad to know it' any one else has seen
or heard of any such described dog
having been seen running about the
country about that date. Should his
pointer go mad he will report it.
The only way to decide as to the cor
rectness of ad g having rabies is by
carefully confining and watching
them. Very many so-called mad dogs
are lost dogs which have become al
most frantic at being lost from their
masters, and are being worried by
every dog which meets them.
Move To Brunswick.
Mr. N. E. Shelverton. with his fam
ily has moved to Brunswick, Ga,
where they will reside. The people
here regretted very much to see (hem
leave Barnesville. and hope they will
do well and be happy in their new
home.
BARNESVILLE. THE MODEL.
• •
The following article about Barnes
ville is being copied by papers
throughout Georgia and other south
ern states, showing that Barnesville is
the model little city of the country:
“Barnesville, Ga., is an example of
what factories will do for Southern
towns when the inhabitants thereof go
in with a united purpose to make
them successful by aiding and encour
aging them. It has not been so many
years ago that the people there saw
the necessity for other things to de
pend upon than the old line of agri
cultural productions and with them
no sooner had the conclusion been i
reached that any certain idea would'
he productive of good to the town, j
than steps were taken to put the idea j
into execution, and they have yst to
fail in anything so undertaken. The
citizens have always been united in
matters pertaining to tiie public good
and of the numerous issues of bonds
voted forschool purposes, waterworks,
electric lights, etc., aggregating a sum
of more than SIOO,OOO there has nev
er been as many as 25 negative votes
cast in all the elections held for these
purposes. Such unity of action can
not fail and the success of that town
should be at. example to others, many
of which within our knowledge are
much better situated.
“About ten or twelve years ago a
stock company was formed among the
business men of the place and a cot
ton factory erected. It has proved a
financial success and a nucleus aiound
which other enterprises of a like na
ture have, been established. Since
then the growth of the town and sur
rounding country has been steady and
rapid. Ot the place the Atlanta
Journal recently had the following:
“ ‘Mr. Don Bain has just returned
from a pleasant visit to Barnesville,
where he went to see his son, who is
attending the Gordon Institute.
“ ‘How is Barnesville? he was ask
ed.
“ ‘Well,’ said he, ‘it is one of the
most enterprising towns I ever saw in
my life. Barnesville can make more
progress and say less about it than
any place you ever saw. Just thirteen
years ago I went down there with the
lamented Henry Grady, who made a
speech for the boys at an old time
barbecue. I have not been to Bar
nesville since until last Saturday.
“ ‘She has not been idle during
these thirteen years. She has water
works, an electric light plant, a cotton
factory, a- hosiery mill, three knitting
mills, two carriage factories, two big
barrel factories and she has the Gor
don Institute, one of the very best
schools in the country, with 350 stu
dents, 80 being in the military depart
ment. This school is up-to-date in
every respect.
“ ‘Then,’ said' he, ‘Barnesville has
600 or 700 operatives in her factories,
representing about 2,000 people in
all. She has now a population of
3,000 or 4.000, is still growing, and
there is no better people on earth than

“ ‘And the beauty of it is that the
home people of Barnesville have built
up the town. If capital from the
north and east had done it, the prog
ress of the place would have been
heralded all over the country—but
the people of Barnesville just went to
work and built up their little city and
are still forging forward and saying
nothing about it. In my-opinion,
there is not a better illustration of a
self-made town in the country than
Barnesville, Ga.'
“It is indeed a ‘home-made’ town,
but its making has been ot the very
best kind, and in reaching its present
status of prosperity in the manufac
turing lines every other industry for
j miles around has prospered. Her
'success may be duplicated in any
j other southern town when the same
enterprise and unity of action is dis
played.” t
I suffered from Eczema on the right ear. I
conlil hardly keep my hands olt it, the itching
waj 30 severe. Small bubbles would open,
emitting a watery-like substance, apparently
poisonous. One of the leading doctors here
treated me. and applied tlio usual physician’s
remedies without benefit. My brother rec
ommended that I try CuncuKA. The first
application was sonihin/j t and before the bos
was half fjnyr the disease had disappeared.
