The Birmingham Newt thinks that possum sappers may yet be society functions. Probably so, but in Georgia they will cease to be used as political floats. The Jacksonville Times-Union refers to Georgia as the lend of “peaches, piety aud peanuts.” The Summerville News asks: “Why don't you add : of pretty girls, possums, politicians, per tatoes and persimmon beer!” Bishop Coleman of Delaware has publicly condemned the custom of erecting what he calle “heathen mon uments” in Christian ctmeteries. Among heathen monuments he classes obelisks, wreaked ships, broken shafts and urns. „ It is estimated that, should the United Stales become involved in a warmth Spain, it would require au expenditure of not less than $500,000 a day while the hostilities lasted. And then after the fighting had been con cluded would come the pensioners, to abide with us for half a century or more. , . Ex-Gov Morrill of Kansas once said that hie ambition was to create in , Kansas the largest orchard in the world and leave it as a monument to hie memory. That hope is about to be realized, as he has turned his farm over to a man with the stipulation that 65,000 fruit trees, mostly apple, are to be planted there. This is a pertinent question just at ’ this time: If Atkinson goes «o a bull fight in Mexico on Sunday, where would be go if on the bowery in New York city on a dark Monday night! Will some of his friends, who have been so loud in their demal of his goin&lo the bull fight on Sunday, answer the question! A lady "topped one day at a store at Atlanta and bought for $1 a piece of silk which attracted her attention. She took it home and made it up into cravats in the prevailing style. Re turning to the store she sold them for $3. She then bought more siik, and the proprietor of the store agreed to handle what she could make. She went on with it, and the business grew till she added a room to her house, and now employs twelve girls. Col. J. D. Boyd, of Griffin, was strick . en with paralysis last Friday and lin gered in an unconscious condition until Sunday afternoon, when he died. He was buried Monday afternoon from the Presbyterian church. Col. Boyd was one of Griffin's foremost citizens and was a leader in every enterprise for the advancement of her prosperity. He was equally prominent as cotton buyer, banker, manufacturer and plan ter. He was very liberal with bis wealth, and never turned away a de serving charity. He was popular alike with rich and poor, old and young, white and black, and in losing him Griffin loses one of her foremost citi zens —Concord Enterprise.

WOMAN’S FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY. BY THE SECRETARY OF THE GRIFFIN DISTRICT The Methodist church, as an organ ized body of Christian workers, affords religious employment for all its mem ( b«rs. Grievous burdens are inflicted upon none. Novel tbeleas it i* right that “all and singular" should render voluntary and systematic service in some sort of church work The wo men ami childro.i even should be in duced to take no active part in some work that helps, them and also strengthens the church. Pastors of the different churches should, as far as practicable, assign work to the individual members Re ligious work stimulates religious growth. Onr spiritual oversears should keep the members busy. The male members should carry on the general business—look after finance*, keep up prayer meeting* l , etc.—and the female members should be enrolled as mem | bers of auxiliary missionary societies The most effective agencies that have been employed by our Woman’s Foreign Missionary Board in heathen lands are mission schools in which na tive children, taken while young are taught the Bible, and the hospitals provided tor the skillful treatment of disease, and the Bible woman depart ment of Christian work that intro duces our religion into the families and homes of the natives. The Scarntt Bible and Training School at Kansas City, Missouri, founded by the Methodist church, South, is one of the beet equipped in stitutions, of the kind, in the United Stales In this school, lady mission aries are prept red for every phase of the work, both ir. foreign lands and in Our own country. The professional nurse aud the lady surgeon and phyi* sician (or hospital service in the die-, tent fields of heathendom are highly important emanations from this great school. The trained nnrse (or hospital and home service, the skilled physician and surgeon, are important factors in successful missionary work Doing good to the body opens the door of op portunity for reaching the immortal soul. Our Saviour went about doing good to the souls and bodies of men. It is true much of His healing was mi raculous, but a very near approach to, similar wonderful results is attained by our skilletUptissionaries by means of BcienwfitfTreattuenl of disease. The Book says : “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every croa’nre” Our home Christians in Griffin district should assist in carry- Hjg out this scriptural injunction Oir good women should become willing helpers in this noble work. 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. mozlets lemon elixie.; A PLEASANT LEMON DRINK.

Harris & Son have a full assort ment of all the latest styles Constitutionality of the Convict Law* The fate of the convict law and oth er bills pasted, alter legal time, by the legislature, is tbua discussed by the Atlanta Constitution: “The story that the constitutionali ty of the Berner banking law, the new convict law and otliet measures passed during the last hours of the legisla tive session because the vote was taken -after 12 o’clock midnight on the fifti eth day is not worrying the etale offi cials at all. This is but one of the sev eral points made by .the counsel for those who are attacking the Berner bill, and it has been raised many times before. The point, in legal phraseolo gy, is pat ibis way ; “'Upon information and belief, said act was voted upon and put ou its final passage by the legislature on De cember 16, 1897. Petitioners aver said legislature convened for its said session of 1897 on October 27, 1897 the first day of the said session being October 27th. The passage of the said act on the IGth day of December wus co a day beyond the fifty days al lowed by the constitution of this state for the holding of said session, and that said legislature was, therefore, not lawfully in session. Said act was not approved by the governor within five days trojn the legal expiration of tbe fifty days the legislature was in ses sion.’ “An eminent constitutional attorney just leaving the supreme court yester day, said (hat the facts as set forth in the paragraph printed wbre unques tionably true, but that the official record of the legislature was the only evidence that could be considered by tbe court. It was a matter/if common notoriety that tbe bands ot the clcck had been set back repeatedly in order to find time to dispose of all the pending business in the rush of the last session, bet the journal showed that all official action was taken on the real legislative day. Congress, he said, frequently sat for several days with the clocks B<>p ped, and all of their business was in cluded in a day’s official report. The supreme court of the United States bad frequently decided that this was legal, because they could not go back of the journal.” To Care Constipation Forevei-.
