THE EVENING GALL.
M.X No. 196
Social Salad
pleasantly reported for
THE EVENING FALL.
Curious to know how the great gods are
prized
By common mortals, creatures made of
clay,
Mercury, as a traveler disguised,
Entered a sculptor’s studio one day,
Where all the gods above and under
ground,
For sale, as busts or statues, could be
found.
“How much for Jupiter? ’ quoth Mercury.
“One dollar, sir; a gem from foot to head;”
“And Juno there, she is for sale I see;
“How much?’’ “Two dollars, sir,” the
sculptor said.
Amused, the smiling god at length espies
An image of himself among the lot;
“Ah, ten times more will he demand (he
thought)
For me, the mighty Herald cf the skies I ’’
"How much for Mercury? Can I prevail
On you to part with him? Is he for eale?”
‘Oh,” answered him the sculptor, with a
grin.
.'lf you will buy the pair, I’ll throw him
in.”

When it is generally known that
baldness is said to be tire inevitable
result of tbe present fashion of wear'
ing pompadour hair, fashion’s edict
that the pompadour shall go, and tbe
universally admired part return, will
be hailed with delight by all the fair
sex. Subjected to the incessant use of
tongs, and the scalp overheated by the
roll which is in nearly every instance
nscessary to give the required puff,
the hair dies a natural death, and bald,
ness is the result. Men do not, as a
general thing, like the pompadour-
They have decided views as to what is
becoming and what is not. Unani
mously, they declare that the pompa
dour is not. They voice the sentiment
that the hair be so arranged as to show
tbe contour of the head ta tbe best
advantage. From across the water
come rumors of wigs worn by smart
Parisians, the result of falling hair
But their reign is not likely to be a
long one, as in spite of some advan
tages they are very hot things to wear,
and always the hair “au nature!” is
vastly more becoming than anything
false.

old fashioned cut flowers, we learn,
have had their day. There are still
conservative admirers who desire that
their flowers shall be worn, but to be
strictly up to date, one must send tbe
complete plant, not stem, branch and
blossom. It may be a tiny violet nest
ling in a bed of leaves, or a huge japo*
nica or szalia—but it must be entire
and growing, filled with life. And
there is lots of sense in this ottering,
too. Give a box of cut flowers, and at
tbe best, they can only last a day or
two, and with their passing away, may
pass the thoughts of the giver. But
the living plant remains and forces
upon the mind many times a day
thoughts of tbe faithful friend.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, 1899.
A DESERVED PUNISHMENT J
Dan Franklin, Colored, Was Severely
Beaten Last Night
Since last Thursday night two ne
groes in this city have been a
severe thrashing by a parly of un
known men.
The first one was Henry Harris, a
full account of which was published
in the Call yesterday afternoon.
Last night about 11 o’clock Dm
Franklin had a buggy trace almost
worn out on hie worthless hide.
The negro was taken from his home
by a party of unknown men and ca r
ried to the woods north of the city,
and after being flogged almost to death
was warned to leave town within twen
ty-four hours. He gladly agreed to
leave, in fact, expressed a regret that
he had not left twenty-four hours
earlier.
He has not been seen today and it
is thought he left during the early
hours of tbe morning.
Franklin is one of the meanest
scoundrels that has ever lived in a de
cent community, and lias been warned
several times to cease making remarks
about white women. As his past
offenses went unpunished, he became
bolder, and the remark i he made about
white women in general, and Mrs.
Cranford in particular, are too horrible
to think of, much lees to publish in a
paper.
The vile-moutb scoundrel is about
55 years of age, ginger cake color, with
grey mustache, and stoop shouldered,
and if he ever shows his rotten carcass
in a decent community, he should be
treated to just such a beating as was
given him fast night.
Nowhere in the country is the nes
gro treated better than in Griffin so
long as he knows his place and keeps
it, but they must learn, through bitter ■
experience, if needs b?, that the mime i
and chastity of women must never be ;
sullied by them

Spain’s Greatest Need-
Mr. R. P,Olivia,of Barcelona, Spain,
spends his winters at Aiken, S. C.
Weak nerves had caused severe pains

soon left him. He says this grand
medicine is what this country needs.

Toombstone I fell in with a young
man from New llavdi, who was [ rowl

goad thing, but not caring much
whether he found it or not. One
afternoon he stood with bis back to
the street reading the posters on a bill

presently a cowboy emerged from a
store on the opposite side of the

brought out a gun, end there was a

been fired.
“The tendeifoot never turned, nor

calmly about, removed his hat and
placed it on the ground, and stepping
back a pace or two, be drew his gun
and shot it, to pieces. The remains
were yet smoking when he picked
them up, crossed the square and hold
ing the handful of old hat out to tbe
cowboy he humbly said :
“ ‘lf you have a couple of months to
spare 1 might be willing to teach you
how io handle a gun I”
"‘But hadn’t the cowboy’s bullets!
hit the hat?' was asked.
“Every blessed one of them,” replied
tbe drummer, “but no one knew it ex
cept the tenderfoot, and he destroyed
all evidence by his own shooting. The
crowd took it that the cowboy missed,
and raised a laugh on him, and when
he straddled his cayuse and loped
down the street he looked as homesick
as a dog a thousand miles from home. ’

Ah Excellent Combination, j
The pleasant method and 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- j
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable qualify and sub
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing lips
are’, used, as they are pleasant to tin
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Shut
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
