petent and consecrated and will no

Among the many kind things said
about Barnesville recently, the follow
ing is a fair sample, from the Jones
boro Enterprise:
“There is no city in Georgia of
twice the size ofßarnesville that can
justly claim as muen pluck and pro
gressiveness as that town shows. The
Barnesville Chautauqua of this week
will long be remembered as one of
the most brilliant occasions of all this
year’s events in Georgia.”

The Summers Buggy Cos. displayed
considerable enterprise on July 4th.
in their magnificent iloat, from which
they dispensed barrels of lemonade.
They drove through the crowds and
the people flocked around and drank
lemonade until they were satisfied. It
was a bright idea.
Hon William J. Bryan went from
Pike’s Metropolis on July 4th to
Pike’s Peak on July 10th. These
places are far apart, but of great in
terest to Americans.
The citizens ofßarnesville ought to
see if it is not possible to establish
another manufacturing plant before
this year passes away. Why not have
the question thoroughly canvassed
now and True Gazktte believes that
it would result in another enterprise.

and with the most excellent program
of the Chautauqua."

Three iw ftaje
Grandpa sits out in the shaded porch
In his old armchair at peadul rest;
Half dreaming, half awake, he sighs
As be watches two birds in their
new built nest;
And the bright June sunshine lies
over all;
At every wind-breath the rose leaves
fall.
His thoughts turn back to another
June,
When, hopefully trusting, by his
side,
Under this same vine covered porch,
He tenderly led his new-wed bride,
“The rose’s welcome” —he laughingly
said,
Shaking downs leaves on her lair young
head.
Oh, happy the years together spent!
They watched the coming of bird
and bloom
With scarce a sorrow, but in love;
Till at last, on a June day shrouded
in gloom,
He followed in grief through the rose
wreathed door
The form that should enter again no
more.
Twenty Summers the roses have
bloomed,
A score of times the birds have
nested,
So long it seems! he's watched alone
Since her loved form ’neath the sod
has rested.
Now, the kind breezes soft blown from
the west,
Strew gently tl e leaves o’er her quiet
breast.
Out from the doorway a little child
creeps,
Her hands outstretched in c°°i n g
glee;
With grandma’s eyes and grandma’s
name—
Grandpa’s own favorite of all is she.
But the old man’s day dreams are of
the dead;
Still the rose-leaves fall on her fair
young head.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by lrcal applications as thev cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous
lining ot the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflam
ed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free.
