The nomination for mayor and aldermen last Friday was an- occasion for the awakening of great interest on the part of the citizens of Barnesville, as is always the case when an election is at hand. The contest became quite interesting a day or two before, and by Friday morning everybody was interested in the result. The two tickets as announced in The Gazette last week contained the names of the only persons voted for, and the result showed that nearly everybody voted a straight ticket for either one side or the other. The Australian ticket was used for the first time and it proved to be satisfactory. Every body seems to be gratified at the progress Barnesville has made in the manner of her municipal compaigns. In the primary Friday there were 263, votes cast for mayor, Mr. J. L. Ken nedy receiving 155 of that number, giving him the nomination by a decisive majority. Capt. John F. Howard led the ticket for alderman, receiving 158 votes, Mr. J. F. Taylor and Mr. V. O. Marshhurn following closely be hind him. The entire ticket is com posed of well known citizens and business men and no doubt every one of them will put forth every effort to give to Barnesville an administration that will result in her continued pros perity and progress. To this end, they will have the cordial support of every patriotic citizen. In the election of the city executive committee which is announced below, Mr. H. P. Powell received 223 votes, being the highest vote received by anyone in the primary. The entire contest, which was spir ited, was without bitterness and there is no reason why those who opposed as well as those who supported ths successful ticket should not unite in giving the new administration such cordial support as to enable them to authorize The Gazette to continue to say in the future as it has constant ly said in the past few years—“ Watch Barnesville Grow.” OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

No man understands the full meaning of that word like the man who has been lost. He will tell you: “ I was in the woods going ahead steadily when I realized t'd missed the trail. With a cry of ‘ Lost! ’ I broke into a run heed less or ignorant of the direction I was going.” The first impulse of a man lost in the woods is to run. The only safe thing is to sit right down and reason out the position. Sometimes a business man gets up at the usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and starts for the office. He lias for some time seen signs that he was off the trail of health. To-day the signs multiply. His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart does not beat right, his breathing is dif ficult, his limbs feel tremulous. He is scared. He realizes that he’s far away from the trail of health, and suddenly like a panther from a tree, the thought leaps on him, “You are a lost man.” The first impulse is to run for help, though the way is honey-combed with pitfalls of quackery. But the rational man faces the facts, sits down and thinks over the position and its proba bilities. That is the man we want to talk to. Disease in almost any form is gen erally accompanied by the failure of the organs of digestion and nutrition. Re establish these organs in healthy action the blood is at once enriched, the bod> nourished and the general health re stored. 'This result is invariably ac complished by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med ical Discovery. It is a stomach-strength ening, nerve-nourishing, muscle-making, blood-purifying medicine. It has cured thousands who thought their health entirely lost. The “ Discovery ” is not a stimulant and contains no alcohol or whisky.
