HERE AND THERE The teachers from fifteen counties have already decided to meet in Bar nesville during Chautauqua week, in the inter-county teachers institute, and there are several other counties yet to decide. There will be close to twenty counties assembled here at that time. It will be the greatest teachers’ institute in the state and second only to the convention of the Georgia Teachers’ Association. The Newnan Herald & Advertiser contains this notice in its last issue about a gentleman well known and highly regarded here: “In the May‘number of Georgia Education there is an article from Mr. J. C. Woodward on the subject, “Bridging the Gulf Between the Home and the School.” The article exhib its much thought in its preparation, and contains many wise and timely suggestions. The sooner parents realize the fact that they must co-op erate with the teacher in all the work of mental development of the child, the better. It requires the combined efforts of teacher and parent to make education what it should be. Such ideas as are promulgated in the article of Mr. Woodward are calculated to do much good.” Preparation is being made for a most interesting commencement at Gordon Institute, beginning on Sun day, June nth, when Dr. J. D. Jor dan of Savannah, will preach the commencement sermon. It will be an interesting week throughout and there will be many visitors in the city at that time. Commnncement is an event of great importance to Barnes ville ar.d the exercises this year will be unusually interesting. The Newnan Herald & Advertiser last week contained this item of inter est to the people of Pike county: “Mr. J. H. Milner, sheriff of Pike county, was in Newnan last Saturday and received into his custody a negro named Willis Williams, who was want ed in Pike for assault with intent to murder. Williams was captured by Marshals Brewster and and Widener one night last week, about four miles west of Newnan. Although sailing under an assumed name, he proved to be the darky wanted.” All the machinery from the Staf ford-Huguley Hosiery Company’s plant has been moved into the Han son-Crawley building and the two plants consolidated into one. It will be several days before all the machin ery is gotten in place and put in operation but the deal is an impor tant one and will mean much for the parties interested and for all of Bar nesville. Barnesville is growing. Besides work that is being finished on a num ber of new homes, contractors have just begun on new houses for Mrs. Jennie Williams on Zebulon street, Mrs. M. F. Stephens on Forsyth street and the important improvement to be made in a handsome dwelling for Dr. C. H. Perdue on Thomaston street has been commenced. All these improvements will add much to Barnesville. The city needs to put up one more big manufacturing es tablishment this year. Mr. John T. Chambers has been successful in winning the whip prize again offered by the firm for which he travels, the Beck & Gregg Cos. of At lanta. He won this prize last year by selling more goods than the other salesmen and he gets it again. He is one of the most successful salesmen on the road. Mr. Ernest Pope, private secretary of Mr B. W. Wrenn, the well known railroad man of the great Plant sys tem, visited the family of his father, Judge J. S. Pope, at Zebulon last week. Mr. Pope is held in great es teem by the officials of the roat , and has an excellent position. He spends much of his time in Florida, Cuba and New York and has much advantage in traveling. He is a young man of much promise and has advantages that come to few young men. Those who know him predict much for him. Miss Lillian Mitchell, who was quite sick recently, suffering with an abfess on account of some dental work, is much improved and will probably be entirely recovered In a few days. For several days she suf fered considerably. The Barnesviile Catfish Club has been at Satilla river for several days. They went first to High Springs, Fla., but jsoon decided that they had made a mistake, and they packed up and moVed to their old fishing ground on Satillo, where they have been catch ing kll the fish they wanted. They have enjoyed their trip. Mfews has reached Barnesviile this week of the serious illness of Miss Sallie Candler at Hoschton, near Gairfesville. She is well known in Barnesviile, having been an honored teacher of Gordon Institute for years and she has a host of warm friends here, who regret to hear ot her illness. She is reported better and we hope to hear of her early recovery. Barnesviile wants to secure at least one more good manufacturing plant this year. It is necessary for the continued growth of the little city and all citizens should be willing te do what they can in this direction. To Meet at Warm Springs. Owing to the uncertainty of secur ing hotel accommodations at Cum berland, Prof. Jere M. Pound, presi dent of the Georgia Teachers Asso ciation, announces that the conven tion will be held at Warm Springs, on June 26th. to 30th. All arrange ments have been made for meeting at Warm Springs and the program l will be the same as that recently published. All railroads have gran ted a rate of one fare for the round trip and the hotel rates are $1.50 per day Prof. Pound thinks the change to Warm Springs will be very acceptable to the teachers of the state. It is centrally located, and the hotel accommodations and serv ice will be ample and satisfactory. Among the attractions are superb swimming pools and baths and in many other respects it is a delightful meeting place. Every preparation is being made for a successful conven tion. Dr. Nelkin Returns. I)r. H. Nelkin returned to Atlan ta Saturday, after a stay of several days in Barnesville last week. He treated a number of people’s eyes and was very well pleased with the results of his trip. He is a pleasant gentleman. He will return to the city for several days again soon, the time to be announced later. Picnic at Bailey’s Mill. There will be a picnic at Bailey’s Mill on Saturday, May 20th. Every body is invited to attend and carry a basket. Ice water free to all. There will prabably be a large crowd and a good time. t'l )) starvation .. howls at the of thott- srf majority of J cases, is starva ’, -Z'ATi tion, pure and Simple. It ' 7 means that body, brain. <V** n ' rv ?- bone "X s and smew are improperly or insufficiently nourished. Improper, insuf ficient nourishment is starvation. When a man’s head aches it is because the tissues of the brain do not receive sufficient nourishment from the blood, or re ceive impure and unhealthy nourishment. When a man (jets nervous and sleepless, it means that the blood is not properly nour ishing the nerves. When his skin breaks out with blotches and pimples and erup tions, it means that the skin is being fed upon the impurities of the blood. Almost every known disease is primarily due to improper nourishment through the blood, which is the life-stream. Or. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is the greatest of all blood-makers and purifiers. It gives edge to the ajppetite, corrects all disorders of the digestion, makes the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food per fect, invigorates the liver, promotes secre tion and excretion, and vitalizes the whole body. It makes firm, muscular flesh, but does not make corpulent people more cor pulent. It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of lingering coughs, bronchial, throat and kindred affections, which, if neglected, lead up to consumption. It is the best of •11 nerve tonics and restoratives. Kept by •11 medicine dealers. “ I was taken ill in February, 1592, with head ache and pain in my back,’' writes H. Gaddis, Ksrp, of 51:5 South J Street. Tacoma. Wash. “I called in a doctor and he came three times. He aaid I was bilious but I kept getting worse ; 1 took a cough so that I could not sleep, only by being propped up in bed. My lungs hurt me, and I got so poor that I was just skin and bone. I thought I s going to die. I used two bottles of Dr. Fierce's Golden Medical Discovery and It made ate sound and well. It saved my life." No remedy relieves constipation so quickly and effectively as Dr. Pierce’* Pleasant Pallets. They never gripe.
