The Prohibitionists Will Let
The Election Go. •
ANTI MAJORITY IS 1302
Prohibitionists Offer no’ Explana

Tlia nrohlbitionUu have concluded to
make no contest of the election.
They notified Ordinary Wiley thi4<norn

intention.
The ordinary then proceeded to consol

IN SOCIETY.
N I
The real beginning of the gay season in
'Macon society is undoubtedly later than
usual this winter, but the social horizon is
■visibly brightening, and receptions, teas
and card parties follow each other in
cheerful succession. The one well re
membered week of almost royal festivity
arranged for the October carnival and for
the pleasure and entertainment of the vis
itors to Macon brought here by that at
traction, was such a notable success from
every standpoint that it has set med wise
to let time elapse before attempting even
the mosi brilliant of private entertain
m enU:.
The reception given Thursday afternoon
in Mrs. Jaques’* handsome home was a
'beautiful compliment io Mrs. 'Charles Hen
ay Hail, Jr., and the hostesses, Mrs
Jaques and Mrs. Talbott, received their
guests with tact and giace.
General and Mrs. Wilson, household and
fctafl gave a german Friday night, at Gen
eral Wilson’s home on Orange street. Fri
day afternoon Mrs. ißadgeley gave a card
party at the home of her mother, Mrs.
IDuniay on High street.
• * *
This week the social program is rapidly
Idling with affairs that promise great
pleasure to the party goers.
Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock Mrs.
T.cuis Stevens and Mrs. Leonidas R. Jor

the perfect in every appointment. Thurs
day afternoon there are two entertain
ments, the card partw given by Mrs. Wil
liam Lee Eilis, complimentary to Mrs.
.Barth tt and Mrs. Robert A. Nisbet’s re
ception. Mrs. (Nisbet has always enter
tained charmingly and on this occasion
•will ne assisted as hostess by her two at
tractive daughters, Mrs. Sam B. Hunter
and Mrs. Frank Nisbet, in whose honor the
reception is given.
* •
Mrs. 'Roland Eilis has returned home
after spending several weeks in Atlanta
with her husband, who is winning new
laurels in the legislative halls this (session.
Mrs. Ellis has had a number of pleasant
social courtesies shown her both on ac
count of her husband’s popularity and her
own very attractive personality. Among
these was the card party with which she
was complimented bv Mrs. Felder last
week.

The second attraction in the Lyceum
course for this season has been arranged
for tomorrow, Tuesday night, and a great
treat is in store for all lovers of the best
•o’ music. The New York Ladies Trio

and any ‘audience cannot fail to be more
than pleased with the magnificent playing
on the violin, violoncellist and piano o!
'Miss Dora Valesea Becker and Mille. Fla
vie Van Den Hende and Miss •Celia Schil
ler. The program will be made yet more
attractive by the singing of the celebrated
contralto. Miss Lilian iCarlsmith. She has
received most flattering praise from the
musical critics all over America, and has
also been heard in London at St. James
HaH.

A Narrow Escape.
Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E.
Hart, of Groton, S. D., “Was taken with a
bad cold which settled on mylungs; cough
, set in and finally terminated in consump
, tion. Four doctors gave me up, saying I
’ could live but a short 'time. I gave myself
' up to my savior, determined if I could
not stay with my friends on earth I would
meet my absent ones above*. My husband
' was advised to get Dr. King’s New Dis-
I covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
1 I gave it a trial; took in all eight bottles.
| It has cured me and thank God I am
I saved and am now a well and healthy
woman.” Trial bottles free at H. J. La
j mar & Sons’ drug store. Regular size 50c
andsl, guaranteed or price refunded.
MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5 1898.
Cell Comfort For Her Grace,
I have very little sympathy with the
dowager duchess of Sutherland in the lose
of her jewelry. What possible advantage
to any civilized being is it to own £30,000
worth of gems? Prarls, diamonds and
other stones can now be so well imitated
that it is impossible to distinguish real
from sham, unless by an expert. Why,
then, wear real? The effect is precisely
the same if sham are worn. At 3 per cent
£30,000 would produce £9OO per annum.
Probably the same jewels might be pro
duced, if artificial stones were used, at a
maximum cost of £I,OOO. Why, then, not
wear the latter and make £B7O per annum?
But if a lady does find her happiness in’
owing expensive jewelry, why travel
about with it and leave it in a bag on the
rack of a railway carriage? What’ would
be thought of anyone who did this with a
bag containing this value in bank notes?
The duchess only did what other ladies are
in the habit of doing, and I do not sup
pose that wo have any right to expect
more wisdom in a duchess than in other
ladies. It is the female habit of traveling
about with expensive jewelry and leaving
it about which I regard as foolish.—Lon
don Truth.
