i SOCIAL SALAD
PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL,
There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream, departs,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comee again.
We are stronger, and are better,
Under manhood’s sterner reign;
Still we feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere;
On the earth, and in the air;
But it never eomes again.—
—Richard Henry Stoddard.

BARNESVILLE POLICE-
Being on the Griddle Made Things
Worse by Their Squirming.
The Call took occasion Friday
morning, from just causes, to notice
the perfidy of the the Barnesville police
force in declining to arrest two fugi
tives from justice in their midst, be
cause a stipulated reward was not
assured them in advance. They being
sworn officers and the fugitives being
wanted upon State warrants, it was
reasonable to suppose the city officials
of that little burg could be called upon
to aid in bringing these criminals to
justice. But iu this We were sadly
mistaken. *
In their flounderings to clear their
skirts of their littleness and want of
regard for the oath of office they had
taken, and indifference to law and or
der, they rush into print and by so do
ing show their utter disregard to truth
and facts. .
Zack Evans, the policeman of
Barnesville, claims that be was the
cause of Britt’s arrest in Macon—that
he wrote the chief of police in Macon,
telling him about Britt, and that his
arrest was accomplished upon that in
formation.
The chief at Macon said to Chief
Ison yesterday that be never received
one word, either by letter, telephone or
telegraph, from Evans, or anyone else
in Barnesville, in reference to Britt,
but that the arrest was made upon a
message from Griffin officials.
Not satisfied with this palpable mis
statement, the Barnesville police im
posed upon the Barnesville correspond
ent of the Macon Telegraph, and thus
caused him to make this statement, in
which there is not one word of truth :
“The facts are that Willis was arrest
ed here by Marshall Collier, and that
Britt was arrested in Macon at the
suggestion of Deputy Evans of Barnes
ville. The Macon authorities notified
Mayor Smith of the arrest, and he in
turn notified parlies in Griffin.”
An officer from Griffin arrested
Willis upon the streets of Barnesville
Wednesday night.
Evans never wrote to Macon con
cerning Britt, as has been shown.
Mayor Smith, of Barnesville, was
informed by Mayor Davis of Griffin>
after 1 o’clock Thursday afternoon of
Britts’airest, and he stated Id Davis
that he had not heard of the arrest.
Mayor Smith was not Mayor Davis’
informant, as Davis was informed by
Macon police Thursday morning tha 4
they had Britt
After 4 o’clock Wednesday evening
the Barnesville police called up H. C-
Burr by telephone, and insisted that
he state the reward he would pay for
arrests. *
It is useless to bandy words with
men who have such little regard for
truth and facts, and we dismiss the
subject.
The only mistake the Call made
was in accusing Barnesville of having
a guardhouse. It has only a public
water closet and guardhouse combined.

In Olden Times
People overlooked the importance of per
manently beneficial effects and were satis
fied with transient action; but now that it
is generally known that Syrup of Figs Will
permanently overcome habitual constipa
tion, well-informed people will not buy
other laxatives, which act for a time, but
finally injure the system.

approaching nuptials
Two of Griffin’s Most Popular Young
People to Wed-
The approaching marriage of Miss
Evelyn Terry and Mr. Carlton Ander
son Jones is the absorbing theme in
all Griffin at present.
The nuptials will be solemnized at
the Baptist church Wednesday after
noon at 3 o’clock, February 2d, Rev.
T. W. O’Kelley officiating.
Immediately after the ceremony a
reception will be tendered the bridal
party and invited friends by Mrs. Vic*
tor M. Brown, at her home on, West
Poplar street, alter which the bride
and groom will be at home to their
friends at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
John L. Reed.
Miss Terry is one of Griffin's most
popular young ladies—intelligent, vi
vacious, lovely in character and hand
some in feature and charming in all
ways that conspire to win fast and true
friends—and her admirers are only
limited by her circle of acquaintances.
Mr. Jones, the groom-elect, is a
young man of sterling worth that any
city or community would boast in pos
sessing: He is a thorough gentleman
in all parts that constitute that title,
and a good business man, and a decid
ed favorite among all who know him.
The Call joins all in extending con
gratulations in advance.

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 gets 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 destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
