BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1899.
GO TOGOMgNGEMENT.
The tax receiver was around last week and his returns
show we are very poor. Our physicians say there are many
of us sick but not seriously so. The golden hearted optimist
says we are within sight of the goDd times coming: the grim
visaged pessimist says we are all on the downward road, with
axles greased, “to the dogs.” We are all more or less lazy,
selfish and stingy, but we are not half so bad as we think we
are. We say some things hyper-Uolically which we do not
mean to be taken literally. Like the good wife who said,
“dear me, if I can't abuse my husband who on earth can I
abuse?” we kick about some things that are very dear to
our hearts.
All of which leads me to remark that Gordon Institute
commencement is right on us, and you ask “what has that got
to do with it?” Just this and nothing more. We have the
biggest, best, most thoroughly equipped and ablest faculty of
any school of its kind in the south. And the most eminent
men and women educators in the state who have taken the
pains to inform themselves don’t hesitate to say so. Gordon
Institute's commencements are the great object lessons which
annually show to the world its great work and worth. “Men
do not light a candle and put it iiqder a bushel but place it
upon a candlestick that it may give light to all that are in the
house.” So Barnesville cannot afford to do otherwise than to
let the light of Gordon Institute shine by its commencement
weeks.
Our children are and have a right to be proud of their
achievements and we ought to appreciate them, and show our
appreciation. The little fellow who delivers his maiden
speech on Monday afternoon has done, for him, as great a
thing as the man who has captured a city. The little girl who
dances across the stage at night in her Fairy costume enters
Fairy land indeed and she feels a thrill of pride and joy which
may affect her happiness through all coming times. Honor,
therefore, your boy and bless by your presence and apprecia
tion the little girl. Go yourself and insist on taking your
friends. If you feel, and you ought, that education is a good
thing, show your children that you do. You might as well
sing psalms to a dead horse as to try to make your children
believe in any good thing by precept when your actions belie
your words. You may think you are fooling them but the
clear, innocent eyes of childhood look right down into your
soul and see whether the thing lying there is truth or falsehood.
Again every woman in the land will tell you she has too
little of social life and leisure, her very soul longs lor occasion
al intercourse with the world outside the narrow circle ol her
home. No woman ever went to her prayer meeting, her
church society, or a social gathering that did not come away
a better and a wiser wile, mother and friend than she was be
fore, and no man or woman will ever enter the door of Gordon
Institute auditorium during the commencement and go out of
its portals without being broader, bigger, better, wiser and
happier than when they entered it. God did not make us to
be solitary, selfish, sordid—-Christ did not teach it.
What matters it if it does take a little butter, eggs or
chickens? Throw open your doors, welcome your friends and
the stranger that is within your gates, cast the bread of hospi
tality upon the waters and it will come back to you after many
days laden with profit of forty, sixty and one hundred told.
Stop complaining, stop croaking, lay aside your laziness and
make the coming commencement memorable as the merriest,
happiest and best you ever saw and I will guarantee to you
the weather will seem cool and bracing.
I know that a man can live on three pounds of meat and
a peck of meal per week and his wife and children can get
along on its equivalent in bread and molasses, but suppose we
all did it; your factories would have to shut down because
there was no need for their product, labor would starve and
the world would lapse into poverty and barbarism. Intellect
ual activity leads to physical activity, culture creates wants,
the supply of wants creates energy, well directed energy
creates wealth, not necessarily in money but wealth of living
and happiness. Moral: Go to commencement.

Miss Trueletta Kreth.
Prof. Jere. M. Pound, President oi
Gordon Institute, has secured the
the services of Miss Truletta Kreth of
Raleigh, N. C. in the Art departmet
tor the next term. This young lady
comes very highly recommended and
no doubt she is eminently qualified
for the position which she comes to
take. She will begin her work here
with the opening of the fall term in
September next.
She Is Improving.
It is good news for the Gazette to
say this week that Mrs. Loula Ken
dall Rogers, whose illness was men
tioned last week, has improved con
siderably and is now fairly on the
way to restoration to health. For a
few days there was considerable un
easiness felt for her but there is much
rejoicing over the improvement made
in her condition. We hope soon to
announce her complete recovery.
Is Still Very Sick.
We regret to chronicle the contin
ued illness of Mr. Frank Black. He
has been quite low for some days
past. While loving friends have
cared for him and skillful physicians
have attended him, he has remained
quite stck. We hope that he may
yet be restored to health. He is
living at the Kitchens place on Elm
street.
OsWitt’s Little Early f .sera,
Tbe tmmryuf Uttlc pill*.
In milit.T, prinon. an offender i. some*
times sentenced to carry cannon ball* from
one place to another and pile them up all
day lon*. That is all. Perhaps it does not
seem very terrible but it soon wears his
life out. It is practically a death sentence,
and he knows it; he would rather be shot.
Many a sick man feels the same way about
the burden of disease that he is lugging
back and forth from day to day. He would
as soon be down with a mortal disease. It
will come to that sooner or later.
A man’s life can be dragged out by
dyspepsia and liver complaint. The ex
perience of Mr. J T. Cardwell, of Pall
Creek Depot, Pittsylvania Cos., Va., shows
how Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov
ery saves people from consumption by
waking up their nutritive organism and
fiving it power to supply pure, healthy
lood, which drives out blood poisons and
dead tissue* and builds up sound, whole
some flesh ar.d muscle.
“ I feel it my duty," writes Mr. Cardwell in a
letter to Dr. Pierce, "to write you of the lasting
benetit* derived from the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery and little ’ Pellets.’
Seven years ago I contracted a severe cold,
which baffled the skill of one of the best phy
sicians in my State. It ran on and I continu
ally grew worse until I concluded to write to
the ‘ World's Dispensary Medical Association.’
The answer to my inquiry advised me to use
‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and Pellets’ for
indigestion and liver complaint; at this time
two months had passed. In two or three days
after I had commenced the use of your medi
cine my cough had entirely stopped, my diges
tion was better, my low spirits drum away nnd
I felt new life ana vigor in my whole body."
This marvelous “ Discovery " makes
nerve force and rugged power. It is far
better than oily emulsions ; it does not
make flabby fat, it does not increase the
weight of corpulent people.
