COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Mayor Pro Tem H C Burr Presided
Over the Meeting-.
The city lathers met at 4 15 tiiia
afternoon, presided over by Mayor
Pro tem 11. C. Burr.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and confirmed.
A petition was granted to J. L Bow
den to use the chair* in the city hall,
at Patterson’s had, during commence
ment exercises.
Prof. Chas. M. Neo! and Prof J. H
Walker petitioned the council to fur
nish light free for their schools during
the commencement exercises at the
Olympic Theatre. The petitions were
granted.
An ordinance was read fer the first
time for the adoption of the new city
code as prepared by the city attorney,
0. H. P. Slaton.
Clerk Nall reported that the city
tax assessors bad turned over their
books to him, which showed an in

Several accounts were presented for

The Methodist Revival-
The revival services at the First
Methodist church are being attended
by large and appreciative congrega*
lions. The preaching has been of a
very high order, dealing with the great
fundamental doctrine of Christianity.
" The singing, led by Mr. Tillman is a
very attractive feature of the meeting,
and is being greatly enjoyed by all
who bear him.
Rev. J.T. Daves preached a very
fine and impressive sermon last night
to a large congregation.
Mr Daves sought to show that hu
man agencies and human methods, in
saving them from sin have failed ut
terly and that it is through the influ
ence and power of the Holy Spirit that
we are saved, if saved at all. He
preached a beautiful sermon this
morning. He is a learned preacher
and we feel safe in saying that his
work here will result in much good.
An Editor'll Reformation.
For over a year The Ledger has been
stealing from its exchanges without a
qualm of conscience. Notice is hereby
given that our better nature has assert
ed itself, and everything will be credit
ed hereafter. Tell you why. Saw an
item in a western exchange stating that
a woman was composed of 4SO muscles,
320 bones and 250 pins. Copied it as
original. Woman read it. Called us a
liar. Had concealed on her person 560
pins. Hereafter items will bo credited,
and the blame of false statements will
fall where it belongs.—Roscoe (Pa.)
Ledger.
How to Pronounce Albany.
The common usage of pronouncing
the name of our city as though it were
spelled Allbany has so long prevailed
that it will probably surprise many
readers to be told that the first syllable
of the name is properly short and
should be pronounced like the Al in Al
fred and Albert. Edwin Forrest, who
was an accurate orthoepist, called this
city Al-bany, not AU-bany or Awl
bany.—Albany Argus.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
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
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 by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

SECRETARY ALGER 8 GALL.
' McKinley Developing a Disposition
to Play Czar
Washington, May 9—(Special)
Secretary Alger, who hasjust returned
to Washington, is lacking in many of
i the characteristics that go to make an
ideal Secretary of War, but be attempts
to make up tor all of them with gall,
, of which he has about as much as any
man who ever held a cabinet portfolio.
And his latest is a little beyond all bis
previous exploits in the gal! line. He
has actually gone so far as to dictate
to Mr. McKinley, if the public talk of
his bench men can be believed. Ac
cording to the Algerites, Alger is not
satisfied with the whitewashing given
him by the War Commission and the
alleged vindication given him by the
report of the military court of inquiry,
which Mr. McKinley has just approved
and ordered published, but demaudg
that Gen. Miles shall be deposed from
the command of the army. In addi
tion to having demanded this of Mr.
McKinley, Alger is said to have told
him that if he did not issue the order (
transferring Miles from Commander
of the army to one of the military ,
divisions, he would, as Secretary of ,
War, issue it himself, thus forcing
Presidential action one way or the >
other. It is not surprising that Mr. ]
McKinley should have concluded to
go to the Virginia Hot Springs and :
try to clear out his system by a few (
hot baths. But it is Algerism he will
have to clear out to accomplish any- (
thing
Mr. McKinley seems to be develop*
mg a disposition to play Czar. He
ordered Representative Henderson, of
lo*a, chairman of the Republican
CaucusJComniittee, that recently com
pleted a financial bill, when he called
at the white house with a copy of the
bill, to change it before it was submit
ted to the republicans of the Senate
finance committe, who it seems must
approve it before it is made public.
Col. Henderson is a peppery sort of a
fellow occasionally, but being a candi
date for Speaker of the House, he did
not care to quarrel with the President,
so he only called bis attention to the
fact that every clause in the bill had
been put there by unanimous vote of
the committee. The order to change
it was reiterated by the President.
It has been decided by the republi
can leaders that an extra session of
Congress shall be called probably early
in the fail, but in order to give them
selves an opportunity to change their
minds, should it be deemed advisable
later to do so, they will not say more
than that an extra session is probable.
The fact of the matter is, that they are
getting uneasy over the political out
look. A short time ago they were fig
uring on a walk over for McKinley
next year, but they are now frighten
ed. One of them said “Mr McKinley
will, of course, be a candidate for re
nomination, but it is by no means
certain that be will win The scandal
under bis administration has made it
difficult for his friends to defend it.
Alger, Shafter, Eagan and others, who
have figured prominently in the ad
ministration, have not added to Mr.
McKinley’s reputation or improved
his chances for renominution Con
servative observers believe Algerism
and Eaganistn will prove to be a heav
ier load than Mr. McKinley can cariy,
at'd that even if be should be nominat
ed again, he would be defeated.”
The Philippine situation continues
to Le a combination of dickering and
fighting, although the administration
claims that, thr 1 submission of Aguinal
do is iiow lul'y assured, but they do
not say when. His subjugation has
been a sure thing from the first, but it
has already cost more, both in money
and blood, than it will ever be worth
to the people of this country.
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 tc
the needy and suffering. The pro
prietors of Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds
have given away over ten million tria
bottles of this great medicine; ant
have the satisfaction of knowing it ha;
absolutely cured thousands of hopelesi
I cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarse
ness and all diseases of the Throat
Chest and Lunge are surely cured b
’ it. Call on Harris & Son and Carlisl

GRIFFIN, GEORBIA, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1899.
A SBVBHB STORK.
Hail the Size of Hen Eggs Fell in
Large Quantities
Thomaston, May 9—The most de
structive hail storm of years swept
over the northwestern section of this
county yesterday afternoon.
It was preceded by a violent wind,
which demolished many small build
ings and destroyed much valuable tim
ber. It is thought that several lives
were lost, which later reports will
bring in.
Hail stones as large as lien eggs
have been found clustered in banks
nearly two feet deep.
The section visited by the storm pre
sents a discouraging picture to the
farmer. His corn, cotton, vegetables
and all small grain has been complete
ly destroyed and it is too late to replant
some of the crops

An Excellent Combination, ;
' The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the 1
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 ref resiling to the
taste aud 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 i
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys, i
liver and bowels, without weakening '
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In tin- process of manufacturing tigs •
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and I
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
