REEVES-M’KEIfZIE.
Griffin and Montezuma United by
_ Golden Bonds of Love-
\ Tbe Montezuma correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph thus speaks of
thamarriage of W. B. Reeves, of Grif
fin, anJ Miss Clara McKenzie, of Mon
tezuma, which is of interest to all
Griffin.
The happy couple reached Griffin
last evening and were driven tp the
residence of the groom’s mother,where
an elegant reception was tendered
them.
The following friends accompanied
the bride and groom to Griffin last
evening, and were present at the re
ception :
Miss Patrick and Miss Maddox,
Montezuma, Miss Leonard, Vientfi,
Miss Jecper, Macon, Miss Reeves, Mil
ledgeville, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Brown,
Fort Valley, Berdie Kendrick, Fort
Valley, P. M. Brown, Macon, Albert
Skellie, Macon, and Col. M. P. Hah,
Jackson.
The Telegraph says:
The event of the season and the one
that most every one has been looking
forward to was the marriage of Mr>
William Brown Reeves, of Griffin, Ga.,
to Miss Clara McKenzie, of this place,
at the Baptist church at 7 :30 o’clock
this evening. Great interest has been
centered upon this on account of tbe
popularity of this young couple, espe
cially as this is the home of the bride,
who is much admired and loved on ac
count of many winsome ways and ex
treme beauty, which has made her an
especial favorite among our people.
The church was beautifully decorated
with ivy and evergreens, and filled to
its utmost capacity with the friends of
this popular young couple.
Miss Clara xtlcKenzie, the bride,
came up tbe aisle dressed in white
duchess satin, with deep well-rounded
train, heavy veil caught with diamond
star, carrying a bunch of orange blos
soms in her hand. She looked ex
tremely lovely, and as she neared the
altar she was given away by her oldest
brother, Col. John W. McKenzie. The
bride and groom stood under the star
of Bethlehem, made out of bouquets of
while hyacinths. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. J. M. Waller, of the
Baptist church.
The groom, Mr. William Brown
Reeves, is a young business man of
Griffin, Ga , while Miss Clara is the
youngest daughter of the late Joseph
McKenzie, and a sister to John W., W.
L. and T. R. McKenzie, a family noted
for their sterling worth and business
capacity. They will make their future
home in Griffin, Ga.
$25 or Five Months.
Officers Flynt and Connor Wednes
day night pulled Mamie Coppedge, a
negro woman, who coveted many of
the household effects of a neighboring
poiored damsel.
Mamie took advantage of the abv
sence of her sister in black from home
and entered and made her selection.
Most of tbe goods were recovered
and yesterday Mamie was fined $25
and costs, or to serve five months on
the chain gang.
Will Take the Business.
With abundant water power, with
cheap coal, with extraordinarily cheap
labor, and with the cotton fields at
their very doors, the Southern cotton
mills will assuredly “take the busi
ness.” But they have not taken it yet.
Their competition is only in coarser
yarns and tbe ruder fabrics. Until
they learn to do the finer work and
very greatly multiply their mills their
competition will afford no good excuse
for tbe cutting of life meager wages
paid in New England, as the bosses
there contend that it does —New York
World.
In Olden Times
People overlooked the importance of per
manently beneficial effects and were satis
fied with transient action; bat 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.

ABOUT BREATHING
Use the Mose ud Mot the Mouth, If
PoMible-
A bad-tempered baby, and some
times even older children, when in a
passion, will deliberately hold the
breath so long as to excite alarm lest
they should never breathe again.
Deaths from deliberate holding of tbe
breath, however, cannot occur; the
demand of the system for air is so im
perative that a lime comes when the
strongest will can no longer hold out
against it, and a deep breath must be
taken.
Respiration is the most indispensible
of all the processes by which life is
maintained. A person can eat irregu
larly, or even go without eating for a
long lime, with comparatively little
damage to the system, but breathe he
must. Yet few people know how to
breathe as they should.
Most persons, especially those of
sedentary life, are habitually shallow
breathers and never fill their lungs as
they ought to be filled. The conse
quence is that the blood does not get
all the oxygen it needs in order to
burn up the waste matters in the body.
The lungs themselves suffer, for they
are not expanded fully—especially in
their upper portions, and so the air
cells are liable to fall together and the
lungs easily become diseased.
A person cannot always be conscious
of his breathing, but he can train him
self to the habit of breathing deeply
and properly.
It is when walking, especially, that
efforts should be made to breathe. The
shoulders should be thrown back, the
bead held erect, and slow, deep inspi
rations should be taken by expanding
tbe chest to its fullest capacity, hold
ing tbe breath for a moment, and then
expelling it—not simply letting it out
—as far as can be done.
The sense of well-being that this
practice gives is ample reward for the
slight labor involved, but this is not
all. The breathing capacity of the
chest will be enlarged alters time,and
so the supply of oxygen will be per
manently increased, the expansion of
the lungs will be more complete, and
they will thus be strengthened to resist
the attacks of disease.
Above all, let it be remembered that
tbe nose, and not tbe mouth, is tbe
breathing apparatus. There are many
elaborate and valuable forms of breath
ing exercises which cannot be describ
ed in a short article. We have given
only the simplest form—the C major
scale, as it were, of breath practice.—

Where to Find It.
The story is told of a Georgia minis
ter that a member of bis congregation,
by name Miss Helen Hunt, picked up
a small Bible one Sunday morning as
she wae hurrying out from services As
there was nothing in tbe book to indi
cate to whom it belonged, she spoke to
tbe pastor and suggested that be an
nounce the fact of the find on tbe fol
lowing Sunday.
He did it in this way : “The person
who dropped a small Bible, in flexible
cover, in tbe main aisle at last Sun
day’s service can go to Helen Hunt
for it.” Then he wondered why every
body smiled.
One of the greatest achievements of
modern civilization is in the security,
comfort and convenience of modern
travel. The New York newspapers
relate that one day recently five child
ren, all girls, in three separate groups,
arrived ia that city unattended from
Europe One of them, like Sibel, a
little blue eyed, 5 year old, came from
her home in Central Russia with tbe
directions of her route on a tag pinned
to her*bib. Gentle railroad and steam
ship employee took her from convey
ance to conveyance till she reached her
father in New York. Two other child
ren, 7 and 9 years old, traveled from
Russia to Jfew York with no attend
ance in the same ship. Two more
girls, from 7to 10, came in another
ship from Austria. Their parents were
waiting for them on their arrival.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 28, 1898.
A Base Substitution
There are various laws, state and
national, against substitution. For
instance there is the national law
against bogus butter, and the Georgia
law against adulterated flour, and sun
dry laws against the substitution of
drugs, and other articles But it ap«
pea rs that none of the laws reaches to
and includes spirits—that is, the spook
kind of spirits. However, a Chicago
jufy has been asked to apply the law
against frauds generally to the specific
case of a fraudulent, spook substitu
tion. Tbe case is somewhat interest
ing, and a short resume of it may be
of interest to legislators wbo may desire
to still further increase tbe sura of our
laws restrictive of confidence games.
The plaintiff in .the Chicago case
was a “beautiful and attractive young
lady.*’ It is singular, by tbe way, that
all of tbe young ladies wbo get into
the newspaper columns are beautiful
and attractive. Tbe young lady in
question, however, was the niece of an
uncle whom she supposed had passed
into spirit land. She had been partic
ularly fond of this uncle, so that not
long ago, when she attended the seance
of a spirit medium and the medium
said he could materialize any spook in
the list, she asked that the spirit of her
uncle be materialized and permitted to
kiss her. The medium said it would
cost her $10; but so small a charge
was not to stand between a fond niece
and the ghostly salutation of the uncle.
The “tenner” was produced, and so
was tbe spirit. The medium averred
by the ghost of his honor that the
spook was that of tbe departed relative,
and the kissing took place. It seems
to have been a very human sort of kiss,
accompanied by the most material
kind of a hug. But the young woman
liked it; liked it so well, indeed, that
she kept going to the medium and
paying him to materialize the spirit of
her uncle so that it might hug and
kiss her, until she had bought SIOO
worth of spiritualistic joy and paid for
it.. The labial salutes were not the
least like what the girl had thought
the kisses of a ghost would be ; still
she had the assurance of tbe medium
that the materialization was genuine,
and for the time was more than pleased.
However, even the softest snap must
come to an end some time. Not long
ago the young lady received a letter
from Ireland from this self-same uncle,
whose alleged etherial essence she had
been osculating with, at ‘ $lO per,” for
some months. He was alive and well;
was not even half dead. Tien the
young lady knew she had been im
posed upon; that some other spook
bad been substituted, and hence the
law suit to recover the SIOO paid for
the kisses. It has lately been charged
that the spook run in on the young
lady in the kissing act lives in Chicago,
drinks beer, chews tobacco and eats
onions, and gets about $lO a week",
with any odd kisses that may chance
to come his way, for hie services to the
medium.
Clearly the young lady had a good
case She had paid for spook kisses
from her uncle. The medium could
not furnish them, but professed that
he could, and sold her something
which, while it may have been “just
as good,” was not the real thing, and
not what he was paid for. If there is
not now law enough to cover such
cases, some bright legislator ought to
frame a bill making it compulsory for
every spook to be examined for gen
uineness by a government inspectcr
and have a guarantee blown in the
glass.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to care 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
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

“I like the way the French take
their amusements,” writes Miss Lillian
Bell, in a letter from Paris to the Feb
ruary Ladies’ Home Journal. “At the
theatre they laugh and applaud the
wit of the (mo and hiss the villain.
They shout their approval of a duel
and woafMbtoud over the death of Che
aged mother. When they drive in the
Bois they smile and have an air of en
joyment quite at variance with tbe
bored expression of English and
Americans who have enough money
to own carriages.
“We drove in Hyde Park in London
the day before we came to Paris, and
nearly wept with sympathy for the
unspoken grief in the faces of the un
fortunate rich who were at such pains
to enjoy themselves. I never saw such
handsome men as I saw in London. P
never saw such beautiful women as I
see in Paris. French men are insig
nificant as a rule, and English women
are beefy and dress like rag-bags ”

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 ruined man physically,
with but little prospect of ever getting well
I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Balm (B, B. B.) and to my utter astonish
ment it quickly healed every ulcer.
