BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1899. I A3OUT TOWN. i “Barnesville is growing.’’ The sal ary of the postmaster of Barnesville has just been increased SIOO, making the salary SI6OO instead of SISOO as heretofore. This increase in salary is based solely on the increase of the business in the Barnesville office. It is a fine showing for the prosperity of the little city. * * * Mr. A. J. F.ley returned to Barnes ville Saturday, after an absence of six months in South Georgia. He has been field manager for the Bar nesville Medicine Cos. with twenty men under his, management. He is a stirring business man and has done a big business for the company this year. * * * It is the business of every citizen of Barnesville to talk Gordon Insti tute from now until the fall term opens in September; It will be a small investment that will pay hand some dividends. * * * Prof. Jere M. Pound will attend the Georgia Teachers’ Association, which meets at Warm Springs next week. He is president ot the Asso ciation and is one of the most influen tial members of the Association in the state. He makes an excellent presi dent, and has arranged a fine program for the approaching convention. * * * Mr. M. Merritt Murphey has been elected principal of the school at Cul loden. He taught there before and the people seem to be greatly pleased over his recent election. He is a graduate of Gordon Institute and of Emory College and is a young man who has the ambition and ability to render excellent service to his patrons. * * * The excurson Saturday was a big success for the railroad. Nearly two hundred tickets were sold at Barnes ville, about four hundred from Griffin, about three hundred from Thofnaston, and all along the line a large number of tickets were sold. Quite a number of white people went from the differ ent stations along the line, but the great bulk of passengers were ne groes. The excursion was passed without any trouble whatever. Miss Lealia Pattillo will leave in about ten days for her home in Bar nesville, to spend a part of her school vacation with her home people and to attend the exercises of the Barnes ville Chautauqua, on the program of which are several literary stars of the first magnitude, such as Henry Wat terson, Jno.

Miss Lockhart expects to go to her home in Marion, Ala., after chautau qua. # * * The city council did well Monday nigTit in appointing a committee to make a thorough inspection ot the sanitary condition of Barnesville. It is only a timely precaution. The inspection should be thorough and the officers should receive hearty co operation from all the citizens. Where any work it needed it should be promptly done. Mr. A. O. Murphey has purchased the stock of Mr. Edward Elder and Dr. C. H. Perdue in the Georgia Underwear Cos., and now owns about four-fifths of the plant.

She formerly lived in this county and had many relatives and friends here. * * The Central railroad has gotten out handsome flyers, printed in two col ors, advertising the Barnesville Chau tauqua.

It is already a very handsome home but he proposes to make some very important improve ments in the near future which will greatly enhance its value and beauty. Pleasant Straw Hide. Monday evening a party of young people enjoyed a pleasant straw ride. There were two wagon loads and a drive was taken around the city and out to Cauthen’s spring. It was a beautiful evening and the ride was enjoyed. A splendid lunch was partaken of “on the bridge at mid night," alter which the party re turned home, laughing and singing and having a good time generally. The party was composed of the fol lowing persons: Misses Maybelle Veal, Caro Talley, Annie Lou Tal ley, Alice Maxwell, Annie McCul lough, Mary Pritchard, Kathryn Lock hart, Jean Mitchell. Lillian Mitchell, Arley Murphey, Mamie Myers, Lula Martin, Mae Seamans. Messrs. John T. Middlebrooks, Lewis Moss, Charlie Curry, Ed Myers, F. M. Stephens, A. J. Stephens, J. R. Jackson. FUltlng for Health. When a man breaks down with that dread disease, consumption, and recognizes his condition, he starts out to fish for health. He tries this thing and that thing. He consults this doctor and that doctor. He indulges in all kinds of absurd athletic exercises. He tries first one climate and then another. He tries the rest cure and the work cure. He grows steadily worse. That is the story of most consumptives. Finally, when the consumptive dies, the doctor shrugs his shoulders and pronounces consumption incurable. A thirty years’ test of Dr. Fierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery has demonstrated that it cures 98 per cent, of all cases of consumption, if taken in the earlier stages of the disease, before the lungs are too far wasted. In a consumptive there is a weaker spot than even the lunjjs. That spot is the stomach. A consumptive never really begins to die until his stomach gives out. The “Golden Medical Discovery” not only braces up the stomach, but acts directly on the lungs, healing them and driving out all impurities. Honest medicine dealers will not urge you to take an inferior substitute. "I had s very bad cough, also night-sweats, and was almost in mygrave with consumption.” writes Mrs Clara A. Mclntyre, Box 171 Ash land, Middlesex Cos., Mass, "A friend of mine who had died with consumption came to me in a dream and told me to take I>r. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and. thank the bord, I did so. By the time I had taken half of the first bottle I fell much better. I kept on until I had taken three bottles. That was all I needed. I got well and strong again.” Whenever constipation is one of the com plicating causes of disease, the most perfect remedy is Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets, /hich are always effective, yet absolutely mild and harmless. There never was any remedy invented which can take then place. They never gripe. r You'll Like it# Its Purity £. Richness Can Be Relied On. Yours to Serve J. H.
