Prof. T. D. Thurman, who has been connected with the Jeft Davis Institute at Zebulon,.has been elected principal of the school at Pleasant Hill. He is well esteemed by the people of Zebulon and of this section. * * It is rumored that the officials of the Central will enlarge the freight depot at Barnesville. Some of them were here recently and t e depot and platform were crowded with freight and they decided that enlarged accom modations were absolutely necessary. We hope to see the improvements made. Mrs. H. F. Blalock has applied to the ordinary of Pike county for letters of administration on the estate of Col. S. N. Woodward, lately deceased. She has also applied for guardanship of the person and property of Grace Woodward, the only daughter of Col. Woodward, both of which applications will doubtless be granted. * *■ * The last issue of The Thomaston 1 Times states that Col. C. I. Lester had decided to locate in Barnesville for the purpose of practising law and that he would occupy the old office of Col- S. N. Woodward, lately deceased and also have charge of his unfinished business. Col. Lester will be given a cordial welcome. * * * Mr. J. B. P. Milner has put in his press for the round bale at his big ginnery and the cotton planter can now take his choice between the square and the round bale. Mr. Mil ner has no preference and leaves the matter entirely with the man whose cotton he gins. Mr. Milner has an excellent ginnery and a big ware house. BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 31,1899. FALL TERM ANNOUNCEMENT. The fall term of Gordon Institute will begin on Monday Sept 4th. The following changes will be made: In the in termediate department, Miss Milner having resigned, her place will be taken by Miss Turner, and Miss Turner’s'place by Miss Me. Cullougb, Mrs Rogers will remain at the head of the Primary department,|and Miss Stewart will have charge of the Free department of the public school. Mr. Swatts will continue as instructor of the Cadet Band and Mrs. Not tingham will be at the head of the Music department. Miss Lockhart will continue as instructress in Elocution and head of the Physical Qulture class. The tuition for the fall term will be SSSo in the Primary and Intermediate classes and $6.00 for Collegiate classes. This small advance in tuition was absolutely necessary to keep the institute out of debt but it is yet much lower than any school of like character in the state. The people of Barnesville, who have never yet failed, are confidently called on to rally again to the support of the Institute by sending their children promptly on the first day. By order of the'board of trustees. B. M. Turner, J. W. Stafford secretary President. There have been a lot of people wanting to rent residences in Barnes ville recently who could not be sup plied. Quite a number of new famil ies, however, made arrangements and will be residents of Barnesville in the future. All of them are welcome. * * * Gordon Institute fall term opens next Monday. The indications are encouraging for a splendid foreign patronage. President Pound has had a large correspondence this summer and has sent out many catalogues. Every child of school age in this community ought to enter Monday morning. Parents should have their children take advantage of the excellent opportunities which Gordon Institute affords. * * * Dr. J. L. Fogg, the popular dentist and wealthy citizen, is spend ing a month in Virginia, where he is visiting relatives, and no doubt he is having such a trip as most people of Barnesville would enjoy. He makes a visit to that section every year or two and always greatly enjoys it. He will probably be away a couple of weeks longer. The merchants of Barnesville are getting in a large stock of new fall and winter goods and they will be en abled to satisty every want of the peo ple of the entire section. There are few places like Barnesville that carry such a creditable quanity and quality of goods in all lines. People need not go to the cities to get what they ordinarily want if they are customers of the merchants of Barnesville. * * Mr. Harry Briggs has been in At lanta during the past ten days finish ing a course in an Optical Institute, and he is now better prepared than ever to serve the customers of J. H. Bate & Cos in making examinations and fitting glasses. He returned from Atlanta a few days since. In his report to the board of educa tion ot Baldwin county, Hon. Richard N. Lamar, commisssioner, referred as follows to the Barnesville Inter-county Institute and chautauqua: “In accordance with your instruc tion the white teachers attended in a body the Inter-County Institute held at Barnesville, Ga., July 3rd to July 7th inclusive. Twenty-five teachers were in regular, attendance, there be ing but three absentees, who are pro perly accounted for. This was an opportunity for great benefit to every earnest teacher, not only were they privileged to reap the benefit to be derived from the Insti tute work as conducted by such able educators as Dr. W. H. Payne and Profs. Jere M. Pound and G. G. Bond, but permitted to hear from the Chautauqua platform lectures of the very highest order. lam impressed you were judictous in supplementing the teacher’s salary to the amount of railroad fare to and from the Institute and respectfully suggest that a suffi cient sum be set aside to defray not only their transportation but board and lodging as well, and that they be required to attend the Chautauqua as well as Institute exercises.” # * * Mr. Millard P. Bush, a successful farmer who lives near Barnesville, re cently shipped ten bushels of rye to Alabama, for which he received $ r.OO per bushel. This was profitable, and it is an indication of what may be done on a larger scale. If cotton will not pay other products will. (live Books Now. All who intend to contribute books to the Barnesville Library are reques ted to do so at once. The book com mittee expects to make another order for books in a few days and they do not want to order books that may be given by the citizens. This is im portant and it is hoped therefore that all who have books to contribute will do so at once. Col. Lester’s Card. Attention is directed to the law card of Col. C. J. Lester, who comes to Barnesville from Thomaston to practise law. He is a young man who is making reputation at the bar and he will faithfully represent all clients who entrust their cases to him. “ Mrs. Sanders had ten hemorrhages and people here said she would never be well again.” W. A. Sander*, Rsq., of Hern. Mason County. W. Va., write# : “My wife had hemorrhage of the lung#. She had £\£\ 1 I ten hemorrhages and Svp. people here said she would never be - well again.

The steps are J easy and quick from a “slight cold” to bronchitis ; from bronchitis to pneu monia ; from pneumonia to permanently weakened lungs, and from that to dread consumption itself. The time to cure consumption is before it gets a start. Take Or. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery on the first appearance of cough or cold, and you will never have a hemorrhage ora tubercle. The “Discovery” is the greatest health builder in the world. It first straightens out all digestive disor ders, and aids the body in ridding itself of poisonous effete matter. It tones up the stomach, invigorates the liver and in con nection with Dr. Pierce’s Pellets keeps the bowels open and regular. Don’t let an un scrupulous medicine dealer foist some substitute when you want Dr. Pierce’s medicines. Assert your rights—get what -you ask for, and be well. ■ ATTENTION LADIES! f • I Have Jost Recetrd TUg Gest Manufacturers PERFUMERY.
