And it will generally be observed In Georgia Do not send away from Griffin to buy goods. Keep your money in cir culation here where yonr father, hus« or sou makes bis living. Mrs. Corg Chaplin Weed of Musca thftbla., is the first woman in tbo country to ask for a consulship. She wants to go either to Swilaerland or Germany. The Virginia legislature will now proceed to lax bachelors. “This is wrong, for no man ought to be pun ished (or the faults of women,” says the Savannah Press. , r ■ ■ —— The Planters’ Supply Company of Jackson, composed of Dr. J. W. Crum, president; 8. H. Morgan, secretary; W 8. Tennant and D. G. McMichael, has failed. The liabilities are 112,000, with assets from 112,000 to $15,000. The ordinary of Butts county has ordered that an election to be held in that county on the 3rd day of March next, upon the question of re-opening (tie barrooms in Butts. The result of this election will be looked forward to by many who are not citizens of that county. In the early morning of Jan. 22 the greatest solar eclipse of the century will take place. The eclipse will be of four hours’ duration, the central point of the observation being India. Only such of the scientific world as journey to the eastern continent wilt see the eclipse. Jo America there will prac tically be no obscuration of the sun at all. The New York Journal has this to say about Richard Croker, the Tam many leader: “He is 62’ years old; rises at 7a. m.; goes to bed at 10 p. tn.; breakfasts at 8:30, lunches at 2 p. m. dines at 7p. m.; smokes 4 cigars a day; reads only newspapers; eats noth ing but crackers and drinks nothing but milk ; chief diversions theater and race track, and finds greatest pleasure in hearing good music.” It is bard for a young mother, who has not yet overcome the wayward tendencies of her own youthful nature, to realize the influence she exerts over her little ones. She is constantly sur rounded by critical imitators, who copy her morals and manners. As the mother is, so are her sons and daugh« ten. If a family of children aie bless ed with an intelligent mother, who is dainty and refined in her manners and does not consider it necessary to be one woman in the dtawing-room and an entirely different person in her everyday life, but who is a true mother, end always a charming, lender woman, you will invariably see habits of speech and perfect manners repeat ed in her children. Great, rough men and noisy, busy boys will always tone down their voices and step quietly, and try to be more mannerly when she elope to give them a kind word and a pleasant smile; for a true woman will never tail to say and do all the kind, pleasant things tbai will in any way help to lift up and cheer those whose lives are shaded with care and toil The mother of today rules the world of tomorrow. .. for.xzk. ttste- _ WnOs j r “ «■ MwmiaZx ■« vnrj ■ i.I ——...- ■.

BY THX BECBtCTARY OF THE GRIFFIN DISTRICT The Intelligent, progressive, up to date Christian is a sincere believer in foreign missions. The man that says he is opposed to “furrin” missions be trays both ignorance »ud prejudice. The time is rapidly approaching when a person ol ordinary intelligence and virtue would no more publicly oppose foreign missions than he would pub licly drink whiskey from a bottle It has been flippantly asked, ' Why spend money to convert heithens in foreign lands, when we have so many unconverted heathens right at .our doorsT" Does such an interrogator include himself amongst hotpqmade heathens? If so, he must be, Ephtaim ol old, “joined to his idols” in such away I hat, as an individual, he will have to be “left alone ” He would uo\ however, insult his fellow coun trymen them heathens. If persons who are b>rn in Uori> tian lands can be pertinently called heathens they are also proper subjects of conversion to Christianity, and nre like the poor, “who," Jesus said, “are with you always and y >u can do them good when you pray.” It seems true that the man who objects to foreign missions does not trUiy believe in home missions. He is not hisj'broth er’a keeper” in any sense. When reduced to its final analysis, objection to missions involves one of the many forms of selfishness. No an ti missionary would care how many heathens and cannibals were made good Christiane and upright citizens if it cost him no money to secure this much to;|>e deaired rest It. There are Many who apparently care more for a dollar than they do for an immortal soul. The annual meeting of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society in For syth, Georgia, in April next, will be a notable event. Only once before with in twenty years has the annual meet ing been held in Griffin district, and that was at Bxrhesville, Georgia, in 1881. There will probably be 300 del egates and distinguished visitors in at tendance, making one of the finest bodies to assemble in the state this year. But the well known hosoitalily of Forsyth will be abundantlyijqual to the occasion. \ The principal countries occupied by our missionaries are China, Japan Korea, Brazil and Mexico To these foreign fields, during the past nine teen years, we have sent eighty female missionaries. Besides our regular missionaries, we have in consianl em ploy very many Bible- women The Bible women are native foreign wo men who have been Converted to Christianity and ' who have been taught so that they can teach others. In speaking of representative wo men from our beloved southland, in the far away heathen countries, I am reminded of the fact that no state has contributed better material than Georgia. Dr. Young J. Allen, possi bly the most distinguished missionary in the world, is a native Georgian and a graduate of Emory college.. Miss Laura Haygood, Bishop Haygood’s “China Sister,” not a whit behind the bishop in point of intellect and piety is doing a heroic work as a missionary in foreign lands and stippor'ed by our board. Miss Laura, as is well known, is also from Georgia, nod a graduate of Wesleyan Female College, Macon, Georgia. Blood Poises Cured. There is no doubt, according to the many remarkable cures performed by Botanic Blood Balm (“B. B. B.”) that it is far the best Tonic'and Blood Purifier ever manufactured. All others pale into insig nificance, when compared with it It cures pimples, ulcers, skin diseases, and all man ner of blood and skin ailments. Buy the best, and don’t throw yo-r money away on substitutes. Try the long tested and old reliable B. B. B. $1 per large bottle. For sale by Druggists. A BAD CASE CURED. Three years ago I contracted a blood poison. I applied to a physician at once, and his treatment came near killing me. I employed an old physician and then went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot Springs and remained two months. Noth ing seemed to cure me permanently, al though temporary relief was given me. I returned home a rained man physically, with but little prospect of ever getting w ell I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter astonish ment it quickly healed every ulcer. Z, T. Hallkbton, Macon, Ga. A Bargain Offered. A Pony Phaeton and Harness, al most as good as new, can be bought at a bargain by applying early to Mrs E B. Boyd, at Johnson house. * Remedy for Trouble- If you are down with the blues, read the twenty third Psalm. If there is a chilly about the heart, read lire third chapter of Revelation. If you don’t know where to look for a monlh’a rent, read the twenty-sev enth Psalm If you are lonesome and unprotect ed, read the ninety-fifst Psalm. If the stovepipe has fallen down and the cook gone off in a pet, put up the pipe and wasKyour hands, and read the third chapter of. James. If you find yourself losing confidence io men, read the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians. If people pelt you with hard words, read the fifteenth chapter of John and the fifty first Psalm. If you are getting discouraged about your work, read Psalm 126 and Gala tian* 6:7 9 If you are all out of sorts, read the twelfth chapter of Hebrews. When you are troubled about what you ought to say to some cue who :s seeking salvation, read the fifty fifth P.-ulm Eat Plenty of Lemons- An experienced and highly respected physician gave a valuable hint the other day, which all may find valuable. “I am convinced,” said he, “not only from prac tical personal experience, but on the theo retically scientific grounds also, that a safeguard against much prevalent summer illness lies in the free use of lemon juice.” —Athens Banner-Watchman.
