. • . .... ' ■ . . THE MORNING CALL. Vol IX. No. 123. 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.

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.— Youth’s Companion. 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. City Tax Notice. The city tax books will positively close on Feb. 15th, and executions will be promptly issued against all defaulters. Thos.

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.

The Women of Pana Are Very Beauti ful. “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.

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.
