No. 10®. 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. • • * The entertainment given on Tuesday afternoon by Mrs. Milton J.

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. file ftc- _ "* t» • * tt VMM* Royal make* the food para, w tel r & ' ■ ROYAL BAKING POWDFR CO., NEW YORK. 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.

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.
