Vol. X. No. 208, Social Salad PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR THE EVENING CALL. Au curled ribbons of wood and pir e Bplintere are necer-ary for a lire, so a thousand nameless preparatory are requisite for any work worth doing 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 *t * t The Current Topics Club will meet ’ as usual, with Mrs. Chas.

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.

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.

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.
