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. W. M. THOMAS, Clerk.

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.

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.

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 No-To-Bac for Fifty Cents.

( 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.
