Much practice goes before perfection
and a multitude of experiments, before
success. Many inked and penciled
sheets “whose end is to ba burned,”
prepare the way for gcod writing.
Repetition gives facility iu hand-craft
aud braie-work, although visible re
sults cannot be summed up. What
matter? That which is first burned 1
supplies the conditions for a steady
fire. Countless little courtesies and
kindnesses, self denials aud activities,
must kindle aud consume before the 1
steadfast character can blaze and glow
with light and heat. Numberless in- 1
cidentals, having email apparent con- 1
neclion with the end sought, must 1
precede life’s achievements. i

Deafness Cannot be Cured '
by local applications as they cannot reach <
the diseased portion of the ear. There is f
only one way to cure deafness, and that is ,
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a t
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and ,
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation '
can be taken out and this tube restored to <
its normal condition, hearing will be de- (
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but '
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused Dy catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh <
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

Most diseases begin in disorders of

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1899.
THE VETERANS REUNION
Information That Will Interest Those
Who Expect to Attend
At a meeting of the Confederate
veterans of Spalding county last Wed
nesday, Col. W. R Hanleiter was re
quested to obtain such information as
would be of interest to all who wished
to attend the reunion in Charleston
and publish the same in the local
papers.
Col Hanleiter, who is commander
of Spalding camp, secured the neces
sary information but was taken sud
denly ill yesterday and is unable to
prepare bis article for the press.
To a Call reporter who visited him
at bis home today, Col Hanleiter said
that he was unable to make special ar
rangement for the veterans of his
camp, as only a very few had express
ed a determination to attend the re
union next week. He advised those
who were going to select their own
routes and time of departure.
The Central road offers to eel! round
trip tickets from Griffin to Charleston
aud return for $6 20, and the Georgia
road would carry the veterans for one
cent per mile. Parties leaving Griffin
on the early morning train would
reach Charleston at night, while the
afternoon trains would put them in
Charleston next morning.
Badges will be furnished to all the
veterans of this camp who apply to
Thos. W. Thurman,
Reception committiea will meet all
trains in Charleeton and will gladly’
gtve any in formation io the visitors.
The members of this committee will
wear red badges, and it will be their
business and pleasure to look after the
old veterans.
“The delegates ftotn my camp,” said
Col. Hanleiter, “should report at head
quarters of Georgia division as soon as
they arrive io Charleston. These head
quarters have been established in
South Carolina hall, on Meeting street
where the delegates will be informed
as to the time of meetings and fur
nished United Confederate badges,
which will pas# them into all meetings
of the reunion.”
The parade, which is generally on
the last day of the reunion, will take
place on next Wednesday a'ternoon.l
The change is made this year' because I
the 10th of May is the anniversary of j
the death of General Stonew ill Jack •
son.
Col. Hanleiter was very feeble today,
and expressed bis fears of not being I
able to attend the reunion next week, ■
but will do so if possible.
Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the pub
lic to know of one concern in the laud
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The pro
prietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
have given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; and
have the satisfaction of knowing it has
absolutely cred thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse
ness and all diseases of the Throat,
Chest and Lungs are surely cured by
it. Call on Harris Son and Carlisle
A Ward Druggists, and get a trial bot
tle. Regular size 50c and $1 Every
bottle guaranteed, or price refunded,
Sunday School Picnic.
The committee appointed from the
Methodist and Baptist Sunday schools
to arrange for their annual picnic met
today in Mr. J G. Rhea's office.
After discussing several places, it
was decided to have the picnic at In
dian Springs, provided satisfactory
arrangements could be made with the
Southern Railway for transportations.
The committee extended a cordial
invitation to the Sunday schools oi
the Presbyterian, Christian, Episco
pal, DeVotie, and Hanleiter churches
to join them and have all the Sunday
school children of Griffin spend Fri
day, May 19th at Indian Springs. If
all will join in a train will be. charter
ed and only a very small fare will be
charged. It is thought that children
under twelve years of age can secure
tickets for 30 certs for the round trip,
aud all over that age for b 0 cents.
It is hoped all the Sunday schools
will j dn the Methodist aud Baptist
schools and picnic at Indian Springs
this months.

V Henin rkable Man.
A remarkable man in many ways was
the late J. Jeoof London, whose harmless
mania it was when shooting pigeons to in
sist that the “C. 11., V. C.,” which fol
lows his name should be called out by the
attendant when it was his turn to com
pete. He was one of the best natured men
living, and consequently, when doctor in
the Royal dragoons, the high spirited sub
alterns some 30 years.ago used to play all
sorts of practical jokes on him. painting
his dogcart white, putting the regimental
goat in his bed with Mr. .lee's shell jacket
round its body and a pair of white sivks
on its horns and greatly startling him on
his return late from London. He was a
very line pigeon shot and was the first of
the 11 English winners of the Grand Prix
at Monte Carlo in 1873.
