Stevens, who moved to Barnesville Monday from McDonough, the Henry County Weekly has the following to say: Col. Stevens has been in McDon ough four years, and during that time by' his excellent personality, prompt ness and thorough equipment as a law yer, combined with numerous admira ble qualities, has traded nuniDers of friends who regret exceedingly to see him leave. .'Barnesville is his boyhood home, however, and with bright prospects ahead the inducements for his return there are numerous and strong. It is tor The* Weekly to commend him to the good people of Barnesville, who know him so well and for all success we join in the shower of good wishes that follow “him and his.” Col. and Mrs. Stephens are cor dially welcomed to Barnesville and we wish them pleasure and prosperity. Was it in Barnesville! Was it when he was in Barnesville that Gov. Bob Taylor saw what he here pictures ? “I saw a poor bachelor live all the days of his life in sight ot a paradise, too cowardly to put his arms around it and press it to his bosom. He shaved and primped and resolved to marry every day in the year fer forty years. But when the time for love’s duel arrived, when he stood trembling in the presence of rosy cheeks and glancing eyes, and beauty shook her curls and gave the challenge, his cour age always oozed out, and he fled m gloriotisly from the field of honor.” A Curd of Thanks. Mr. J. R. Virden desires to extend thanks through The Gazette to ev very one who extended kindness to him and his family on account of the recent illness and death of his child. The attention received was a source of comfort to this family. Young Mnn Dies. Mr. S. H. Childs, who had been at work for the Summers Buggy Cos. died last Friday night at The Stocks House with some throat trouble. His re t mains were sent Saturday to North Vernon, Indiana. He had no rela tives in this state. A MAN • I LOST. Lost! No man understands the full meaning of that word like the man who has l>een lost. He will tell you: “I was in the woods going ahead steadily when I realized 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 has 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 fun 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 body 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 stimulant and contains no alcohol or whisky, bold at all medicine stores.
