THE GRIFFIN RIFLES CLUB
Will Give a Delightful Entertain
ment After Easter
The member* of the Griffio R fie*
Club are making arrangements to
give a grand bouse warming shortly
after Easter, and if their plans mature
it will be the most elegant affair of the
season
A program, consisting of music and
recitations, will be rendered by several
young ladies, which will entertain the
invited guests until 10 o’clock, after
which an elegant lunch will be served
in the billard room.
While all are enjoying these deli
cacies, the chairs will be removed
from the large hall and it will be
turned over to the dancers. It i. the
intention of the promoters of the en
tertainment, to secure au orchestra
from Atlanta to furnish music for the
occasion and nothing will be left un
done to make the evening one of rare
enjoyment for all who attend.
It is probable that a billiard tourna
ment will soon be another attraction
for the members, The scheme is as
yet in its incipiency, but those who
have the matter under consideration
are confident it will be carried to a
successful end.
Woods Hammond, who has been
manager of the club rooms since its
organization, resigned this morning
to accept a position with T. J. Brooks.
The directors, after accepting the res
ignation, elected C. W. Slaton as
manager, and he at once entered upon
the discharge of his duties.

T. B, Rice, a prominent druggist of
Greensboro, Ga., writes as follows:
"I have handled Dr. Pitts’ Carminative
for eight years, and have never known of
a single instance where it failed to give
perfect satisfaction. Parties who once
use it always make permtnent customers.
We sell more of this article than all the
other Carminatives, soothing syrups and
colic drops combined.” For teething chil
dren it has no equal.

A NARROW ESCAPE
Mr Nat Terry Painfully Hurt by a
Refraatory Horse
Nat Terry had a narrow escape from
death last night after the performance
at the Olympic theatre.
He was standing in front of Carlisle
& Ward’s drug store, when a horse
belonging to his father became unman
ageable. Mr. Terry thought that a
young man and lady were in the bug
gy and he ran to their assistance,
catching the horse by the bite.
He held on for a short time, when
the horse gave a sudden plunge for
ward, throwing him to the ground and
striking him on the head with his hoof.
A fearful gash was cut in the young
man’s head, which was dressed by Dr.
Nunnally, and be is able to be out
today although looking considerably
worsted from his adventure.
Fortunately the young lady was not
in the buggy, and the horse was in
charge of a negro, who finally quieted
the beast before any other damage was
done.

mi Excellent Combination. I
The pleasant method ami beneficial
effects of the well known remedy.
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the i h ai
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
