Mrr. Frank Bogle died at her home
in Bamesville, Aug. 4th, 1899.
She was one of those rare charac
ters of whom the Savior said: “Behold
the Israelite in whom there is indeed
no guile. 1 ’ At the age of fifteen she
joined the Baptist church at Milner
and lived the life of the Christian
whose death makes friends sad and
angels glad.
She possessed a happy disposition
ijJtich shone with luster to the last.
ifrlßien she felt herself growing rapidly
"Hreaker she tried to comfort her
• heart-broken husband and her unfal
tering faith is enough to turn his
thoughts toward heaven for “where
treasure is there the heart is also.’’
A strong mans tears are an unmis
fcdten token of grief and when they
dropped on the hand he caressed she
looked upPilfcjt smile and said, “It’s
all right, Frank, I' am ready, but
<ldn’ t cry— it makes me sorry to leave
for I could be so happy with you and
the baby.” She gave her father and
mother the blessed assurance that
parting with loved ones was the only
sting death had. Her deathbed
scene will live in the memory of those
who saw her cheerful submission
of Him who doeth all things
ra. * \
She married Mr. Frank Bogle att
home in Pike county March 29th,
1898, and soon afterwards moved to
Barnesville, where their home was
filled with the most perfect bliss al
lotted to mortals—domestic happi
' ness. The only sorrow that cast a
shadow o’er her short life was the
death of her sister, Miss Ada Kitch
ings, who died about a month ago.
The Pearly Cates were left ajar until
these sisters were reunited where
parting is no more. Her consecrated,
Unselfish life can be no better de
scribed than in the words of the poet
who Says,
Is' . ’
“1 live for those who love me.
For those who know me true;
heaven that smiles above me
Anfi waits my spirit, too.
“IjSr the right that needs assistance,
i]pr the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance
And the good that I can do."
‘ Under a mighty weight of sorrow
like tins words of human comfort fall
heavy on the heart like clods on the
coffin lid and those who look up
Can see the ratufeow of His promise.
Relictions Bu Presbyterian
Sunday Schools
The following resolutions were
passed by the Presbyterian Sunday
school: •
Whereas, It has seemed best to
our All wise Father to remove irom
our midst our beloved friend and
brother, Cob S. N. Woodward; there
fore be it tesolved Ist: That by the
death bt this Christian man our town
has lost one of its most progressive
and valued ckizens, the legal profes
sion has lost one of its most able and
conscientious members, the Presby
terian Sunday school of Barnesville
has lost one its most eftkent and be
loved teachers, an able and earnest
exponent of the gospel of Jesus
and. That we assure the
two thus deprived of
the counsel and sympathy ot a devo
ted parent of our heartfelt sympathy
and prayers that our dear Heavenly
Father may comfort and sustain them
and keep them ever in his protecting
care. We commend them to Him
who ‘%oeth all things well,” ami bow
in humble loving submission to His
will.
.Resolved 3rd That a copy of these
fisolution be inscribed in the Sunday
Record book,, and a copy be

Resolutions by Council.
Official notice of the death of our
city attorney having been made,which
sad event occurred on Aug. Ist, 1899,
the following resolution was unani
mously adopted by the city council:
That in the death of Col. Stephen
N. Woodward, our esteemed city at
torney, this body has sustained a great
loss. Upon him rested the safe
guidance of our aftairs when legal
issues were involved. As numerous
and frequent as these issues were, in
volving the gravest question:*, he was
equal to every emergency.
Me was an able counselor, a safe
and conservative adviser, a true and
faithful official, prompt in the dis
charge of every duty. In middle life,
just as his usefulness and ability was
being called into activity by his peo
pie, he is summoned hence from labor
to rest. We cannot withhold a tear
to his memory, and we, for ourselves
and the entire community, tender to
his loved ones our sympathy and
sorrow.

City Cot tun Crop-6,000 Bales.
Hon. J. M. Kirk writes from Mo
ravia, Texas, to the Schulenberg
Sticker under date of April 19th last:
“My larmer friends, look at every
cotton platform as you pass by and
you will see the present (square) bale
standing on its head with from two
to four great gaping wounds at the
mercy of those who want to pilfer.
I'he number of bales in Texas taken
Trom the original runs up into the
thousands. I remember during the
session of the last Legislature, when
the bill kyown as the Compress Bill
was being discussed iu the committee
room, a gentleman from Galveston,
who was opposing the measure, in
answer to a question asked by me
(one of the comnntteejhow many bales
of cotton were made by the compres
ses iv) Galveston that were taken
from the original bales compressed
hhere. He answered ‘About six
fhousand bales.’ ” And yet there
are thosetwho decry the American
Cotton Company's Rouncflap > bale,
frofn which there is not one ounce of
waste and which reaches the mill ex
actly as it leaves the press. A

-tic Übraru Notes-
I Eleven volumes have been contrib
uted to the library by Mrs. Reid, who
removed from Atlanta to Bamesville.
* *
*
All citizens who have promised
contributions are requested to send
i the books with their names to the
j library room or have them in readi
ness for a committee who will call
; from house to house on that mission.
# *
*
At the same time look through your
bookcases for volumes which belong
ed to the old Gordon Institute Libra
! ry. Many of them are scattered
j throughout the town and are now
the property of the Bamesville Public
Library.
* *
*
It is gratifying to note the interest
manifested by the children, and for
tunate, indeed, it is that there are
many books suited to their tastes.
When a boy or girl is engrossed with
a good book you know they are in
good company, but that is not always
true when they are on the street.
No book in the library promises to
be more popular than “David Harum,”
in which there are both pathos and
wit as well as a very pretty love story.
A bright woman says: “The beauty of
it all is that you feel like you could
have written it yourself.” *
* * *
*
A valuable contribution to the
library would be a good reference
Bible in large, clear type. There are
religious books but as yet no copy of
the Holy Scriptures.
They Have Moved.
The Reeves Boys have moved their
stock of goods to the Holmes build
ing, which they purchased some time
ago, and which has been occupied for
several years by the Penny Racket.
The building and location are excel
lent for the business of the Reeves
Boys and they will continue to pros
per there. They are good merchants
and enjoy a large trade.
Mr. J. R. Deavours has moved his
stock to the Smith building and will
therefore be found there with his
large and well-assorted stock of goods.
He is proprietor of the Rouss Racket
and has been quite successful as a
business man. The trading public
will be benefited by calling on Mr.
1 )eavours at the Smith building.
Mayor And Aldermen Elected.
** Election for mayor and aldermen
■of Bamesville to serve for the next
two years was held Tuesday. A small
vote was polled as is always the case
where there is no opposition and the
entire vote was cast for Mr. J. L.
Kennedy, for mayor, and for Messrs.
J. F. Howard, J. F. Taylor and V. O.
Marshburn for aldermen. All these
gentlemen have had experience in
municipal aftairs and an extensive ex
perience in business matters and they
will doubtless give to Bamesville an ex
cellent administration.
The healthy old man wears his gray
hairs like a silver crown. What iftheir
be threescore and ten if there is still
fire in his eye, firmness in his step,
command in his voice and wisdom in
his counsel? He commands love and
reverence. Yet how few wear the
mantle of age with dignity. Dim
eyed, querulous of speech, halting in
step, childish in mind, they ‘‘lag su
perfluous on the stage,” dragging out
the fag end of life a simple existence.
The secret of a healthy old age is a
healthy middle age. The man who
takes care of jiis stomach, who keeps
his body properly nourished, will find
that the body does not fail him in old
age. The great value of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery lies in the
preservation of the working power of
the stomach and other organs of di
gestion and nutrition. From this
| center is distributed the nourishment
of the whole body, the salt for the
blood, the lime for the bones, phos
phates for the brain and nerves. A
i sound stomach means a sound man.
i A man who keeps his stomach sound
|by the use of "Golden Medical Dis-
Icovery” will wear the crown of gray
| hairs as befits a monarch, with dignity
and ease.

THE PUBUGjptflßy
•
When the ladies of the town began
to agitate the qnestion +of a public
library last winter there were many
who tried to quench their enthusiasm
by prophecies that, naught would
come 01 their efforts. Time, however,
has again proven that perseverance
can overcome obstacles, for the libra
ry is here and no irstitulion in Bar
nesville is more deserving of the sup
port and patronage of the people.
The commodious room in the rear
of J. H. Bate & Co.'s jewelry store
has been fitted up in a most attractive
manner and several hundred books
are already on the shelves ready for
the readers. Another shipment of
books is daily expected and contribu
tions from private citizen's will swell
the number beyond one thousand in
a short time. The book committee
wisely expended only a part of the
fund in hand in the first purchase in
order to be able to add new publica
tions and such others as may be in
demand by the readers. In regard
to the books it is well for the public
to know that they are books that
people want to read. In fiction there
are the standard works as well as new
books by well known writers of the
day. This class of literature predom
inates because there is the greatest
demand for it but care has been tak
en to provide only books that can
safely be placed in the hands of
young readers. The poets And his
torians as well as miscellaneous writ
ers have not been neglected and a
magnificent collection of reference
books and encyclopedias wilbbe ready
to furnish the student with , needed
information. : w---
In a few weeks a number of the
best magazines and periodicals will
be on the tables for the use of
members of the Library Association.
Comtortable chairs in a welt lighted
room add to the attractiveness of the
library and there can be ncLbetter
place to spend qne's leisure -hours.
Ladies will find there a quiet-resting
place during their shopping expedi
tions.
The members of the
\
propose to keep up Barnesville's rep
utation by making the publicdibrary
the very best institution of it’s <sass
in the state.
From this date to Jan. Ist, 1900,
all the above advantages can
cured by the payment of twenty-fire
cents for ladies and fifty cents „f*®r
gentlemen. After Jan. Ist the
named sums must be paid quarterly
in advance on the first days
aiy, April, July and October. Mem
bers from the country and neighbor
ing towns w'ill be gladly welcomed.
