PARALYZED
Col. J. D- Boyd Stricken Down Yes
terday Afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon the weather be
ing balmy and pleasant, Col. J. D-
Boyd drove out to one of bis farms,the
"Bedding place,” about five miles
above the eity, to give some directions
on the place.
About4 o’clock a negro boy, employ
ed upon the place a came in a gallop
on horseback, and stated to Douglas
Boyd that his father was dying.
A carriage was hastily* procured
when Douglas, Dr. Moore, and others
hastened to the relief of father and
friend.
From the best information obtaina
ble at this writing; it is learned that
Col. Boyd, while out upon bis farm,
was stricken down with paralysis and
wbec assistance reached him he was
helpless and speechless.
About dark he was placed in a car
riage and driven to his home in West
Griffin.
The announcement of his sudden
and serious illness was a great shock
to this entire community, and the en
quiry was upon everybody’s lips as to
his condition.
For some months past Col. Boyd’s
health has been bad, and his family
and intimate friends have been greatly
exorcised about him. But yesterday
he appeared better and more cheerful
than for several days.
Col. Boyd was carried to hie home
about 7 o’clock last night, where he
was resting as comfortably as possible,
at the hour of going to press,
but was unable to speak or help him
self in any particular, or recognize any
one.
All he Asked of Mr. Cleveland.
Here is a story which shows the
value of advertising and teaches also
that personal fame is after all ques
tionable and comparative, says the
New York Journal. Overlooking the
Hudson, the next house to Senator
Hill’s Wolfert’s Roost is the summer
residence of Mr. Cleveland, whose for
tune is based upon the lucky combina
tion of certain chemicals which result
ed in the production of an article of
great use in the kitchen By much
advertising the Cleveland name became
a household word. Another New
Yorker of the name of Cleveland
attained some celebrity by becoming
President a brace of times. It was
between bis two terms that he took a
hunting and fishing trip into the Adi
rondacks. Men in the woods become
fond of their guides, and the ex-Presi
dent, after two weeks of fine sport,had
a special liking for his.
He took the tall woodsman warmly
by the hand when his vacation was
over and his outfit packed for the re
turn.
“Bill,” be said, "I’ve had the fun of
my life this trip, and I’m grateful to
you.' The money I’ve paid you don’t
settle the obligation. If there’s any
thing I can do for you, Bill, let me
know it right now.”
"Well,” replied the mountaineer,
"I'd never ast ye es ye hadn’t offered,
but seein’ as ye’ve offered, I don’t
know why I sh’d be backerd. Ye see
I’m gittin* mighty tired of these yeller
seleratus biscuits, Mr. Cleveland, an’
es ye would sen’ some of yer bakin’
powder I’d remember it to my dyin’
day.”
Closed by an Officer.
On yesterday morning Progessive
Brothers and Bisters of Light and
Virtue was closed by an officer upon a
distress warrant.
This is a colored organization that
held forth and did business on Broad
street.
It appears that the name of the so
ciety was enough to kill any organiza
tion in the state.
Jurors Dismissed.
It is the order of the court that all
jurors drawn and subpoenaed for ap
pearance for service during the second
week of the January term, 1898, be
excused from said service.

DR. HEAD AMD MRS. HALSTEAD.
They Are Married After a Romance
Full of Interest.
The following account of a marriage
in Macon on Thursday will be of inter
est to many of the readers of the Call,
as the groom is well known io this
part of the Stale.
The Macon correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution thus speaks of
the romantic marriage:
Dr. James Head and Mr. L. W.
Halstead were married tonight by
Bev. H. C. Combs, pastor of the Christ
ian church, at his residence. The
ceremony occurred at 7:30 o’clock.
Dr. Head has been living in Macon
several years, coming here from Atlan
ta. He has built up a good and grow
ing practice and is a highly cultured
young gentleman,
Mrs. Halstead was born in Liverpool
about twenty years ago. She had
been married to Halstead about two
years when he was killed at a ten
cent circus in Macon last April by
Reid. Mr. and Mrs. Halstead resided
in Atlanta.
Last September Mrs. Halstead came
to Macon to attend the trial of Reid
for killing her husband. She was
made sick by the nervous strain of the
trial and. Dr. Head was her physician.
This acquaintance developed into love
which resulted in their marriage to
night. Mrs Head is an exceedingly
pretty and charming woman.
A New Trust Proposed.
The great strike of the cotton mill
operatives in New England in the
middle of winter is greatly to be re
gretted. It fs pretty safe to say that
not half of those engaged in the strike
have means sufficient to support them
for more than a few weeks. If the
strike should be a long one, therefore,
there would be a great deal of suffer
ing.
The mill owners are trying to form
a great cotton mill trust,, with the
hope that in that way the cotton mill
industry of New England may be saved
from destruction. A trust, it is argued,
would maintain uniform prices for the
output of the mills, and would reduce
the cost of production. It is doubtful,
however, if the trust plan is feasible.
Many of those who have given the
matter thoughtful consideration are of
the opinion that the mills are too great
in number, too widely scattered, and
their interests too diverse to permit an
agreement of that sort. ,
The Dingley tariff is cqming in for
a very considerable share of blame for
the present condition of affairs. The
mill operatives remember that Mr,
Dingley and other high protectionists
said that when the Republican party
came into power a tariff bill would be
passed which would make cotton man
ufacturing so prosperous that mill
owners would be much more likely to
raise wages than to reduce them. The
mill operatives in Mr. Dingley’s own
town, Lewiston, Me., are making the
situation very unpleasant for him.
They want to know what sort of pros
perity it is which bis tariff bill has
brought—prosperity which threatens
them starvation.
It is now being clearly demonstrated
that a protective tariff can do the cot
ton manufacturing interest no good.
What that interest wants, in order for
it to become prosperous, is a much
wider market than it now has. Such
a market cannot be obtained under the
high protective tariff system. It can
be bad only by the adoption of such a
tariff as is favored by the Democratic
party.—Savannah News.
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.
Piano Tuning.
Charles H. Smith, of Atlanta, will
be in Griffin the latter part of this
month to tune piapoe, organs and mu
sical instruments generally: He wil
come fully endorsed by teachers and
persons of note.
Any one wishing him to do any
work for them will recdive prompt at
tention upon hie arrival, if their re
quest is left at the Call office.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 22, 1898.
THE SALT HABIT.
i People Eat Entirely Too Much of Thii
• Condiment in Their Food.
The use of salt as a condiment io sc
generally and so universally believed
io as necessary that we rarely bear a
word against its excessive use; but
there are a multitude of persons who
eat far too much salt; eat it on every
thing, meat, fish, potatoes, melons, in
butter, on tomatoes, turnips and
squashes.
To so great an extent is it used by
some people that nothing is relished
which has not a salty taste, which is
often very delicate. The amount of
salt required in the system is compar
atively small, and if the diet has been
rightly compounded very little is nec
essary. Some go so far as to discard
its use altogether, but whether this is
wise or not we will not here consider.
What are some of the evils of the
excessive use of salt? They are to
paralyze the nerves of taele, or to per
vert them so that they cannot enjoy
anything which has not a salty flavor,
and in addition there is a direct tax
on both the skin and kidneys in re
moving it from the blood. Whether
the skin is harmed by this tax we do
not know. It is pretty well settled,
however, that an excessive use of salt
does overtax the kidneys in its removal,
and that a great number of derange
ments and diseases of these organs are
due this cause.
Children and Sweethearts-
I often wonder if mothers of little
daughters appreciate what they are
doing when they jest with them about
their “little sweethearts” and “beaux.”
There is so much of this kind of talk
that the clear-eyed listner sickens in
the hearing. While boys and girls are
young they should be comrades, play
mates, friends; but the possibility of a
tender relation existing should never
for a moment enter the beads of the
innocent children. When Mabel’s
mother speaks of twelva-y«M-«U. JmJl
as her "beau,” and the little girl flushes
with sell-consciousness or with anger,
the irreparable wrong has been done.
She will never again regard Jack as
the jolly boy who was "great fun.”
The bloom has already begun to come
off the peach. The longer boys and
girls are kept in ignorance of the fact
that they can be anything but dear
friends the happier they will be. They
cannot help knowing that grown men
and women love and are given in mar
riage, but the “grown-up” period seems
very far off to them, and those who
love them should keep them children
as long as possible. They can be
children but once.—Harper’s Bazar.
An Idea From Jefferson.
Mr. Joe Jefferson, speaking on stage
craft before the Nineteenth Century
Club of New York recently, said : "Re
pose is one of the cardinal points. Ar
audience cannot look at two points at
once. The thing in stage managemen;
is that the attention of the audience
should be directed to the subject thei
necessary to be considered. Nothing s
more injurious than vulgar by-playa.”
The advertisement addresses a vastly
larger audience than does the play—an
audience of varied tastes—and it cm
change its attractions daily. In thee
respects it is free from the limitatiois
if the play. Yet in away the Jeffe
sonian idea isas useful in stoTecraftss
in stagecraft.—Philadelphia Record

j Take the Tariff Fap Away.
( Ex-Congressman Crapo of New Bed
ford admits that insufficient tariff pro*
( lection does not enter into the cotton
manufacturing situation. The present
tariff is an improvement over the
Wilson tariff so far as cotton goods are
concerned, he says, and the Wilson
tariff "took care of us better than the
previoua (or McKinley) tariff.” But
the results are obviously not satisfac
tory. Perhaps the infant would do
better if the bottle were thrown away
instead of being constantly increased
in size—Springfield Republican.
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.ard that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tune gets Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafeess 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
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
