Na 13L SOCIAL SALAD PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR SUNDAY’S CALL. I have a garden in the city's grime, Where secretly my heart keeps summer time; i I - - Where blows such airs oi rapture on my eyes As those best dreamers know in Paradise Who after lives of longing come at last Where anguish of vain love is overpast. When the broad moon lies shadeless on the street, And traffic roan and toilers faint with heat, When men forget that ever woods were green. The wpnders of my garden are not seen. Only at night the magic doors disclose Its labyrinths of lavender and rose; And honeysuckles, white beneath its moon, Whispers me softly thou art coming soon; And led by Love’e white hand upon my wrist > / Beside its glimmering fountains I keep tryst. ■ O Love, this moving fragrance on my hair, Is it thy breath, or some enchanted air. From far, unchanted realms of mystery Which I have dreamed of but shall never seet O Love, this low, wild music in my ears, Is it the heart beat of thy hopes and fears, Or the faint cadence of some fairy song On winds of boyhood memory Jblown along ? O Love, what poignant ecstacy is this Upon thy lips and eyes ? Thy touch, thy kiss. —Munsey's Magazine. * • ♦ On Monday evening last Miss Rose lyn Reid charmingly entertained a few friends at hearts in honor of Miss Evelyn Terry and Mr. Carlton Jones.

The lovely home on Tinsley street was tastefully decorated with violets, hyacinths, roses and smilax; persia and cyclamen formed a beautiful floral fringe over mantles and cabinets. Bright fires burning in each room lent a welcome glow which dispelled all idea of the intense cold without. In the beautiful hall the guests were given a delightful* ly cordial welcome by Mrs. James A. Stewart, who directed them to the reception room. .

In tbe reception room Mr. and Mrs. Brown, surrounded by thb bridal party stood in a beautiful bower of palms and tall flowering plants and received their friends.

Woman’s Rights- Editor Call: Permit a southern woman to dissent to the views express ed by your correspondent in Satur day’s Call. To the views expressed in the main I agree, but when he as sumes that a woman is a citizen I dis sect. In the south, thank God, a woman is not allowed to vote, and in that es sential particular she is not a citizen. To the views expressed as to the rights of women being equal to men, and if men do wrong legally the wo men should be permitted to do wrong also, I dissent. There are no new wo men, or very few of them, in the south, and to recognize their right to do wrong because men do wrong is not recognized by even those who do wrong themselves. Tbe laws are made by men in Georgia, and for the protec tion of womefi, and far distant the day when it is considered legitimate to drag woman down to justify man in wrong doing. I take it that the points made by Woman’s Rights are made in irony and sarcasm, as showing the inconsis tency of our laws, but a casual reader might not take (hat view of them. Therefore, I beg to very much dissent to tbe reasoning. From a New England standpoint they might be permitted, and trust to tbe woman vole to change the laws, but in Georgia we women are willing to still let the men be the best judges of what is proper for women, and therefore to make laws that will pro tect woman against herself. With no intention to engage in a controversy with Woman’s Rights, I beg to dissent from the views express* ed and deprecate the comparison of tha rights of women to do wrong be cause men do. Old Woman. At The Olympic. Appreciating tbe fact that a univer sal demand exists for high class amuse ment at popular prices and that tbe day of dollar attraction is numbered, Mr. Edwin Travers, who for the past sixteen years has been identified with such organizations as A.

BY THE SECRETARY OF THE GRIFFIN DISTRICT. The lady members of the Methodist church are requested to attend a meet ing es the auxiliary missionary society to be held next Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Let the whole churoh pray that the spirit of work may descend upon the women and children. The Women should help to Christianize mankind by doing some specific work on her own account. Let there be a good meeting next Monday afternoon at the Methodist church. The finances of the Woman’s For eign Missionary Society have been well managed. For twenty years I have not known a single dollar to go astray. Tbe outlay has also been well directed. Appropriations are made from money in hand, and, consequent ly, we have never been in debt. Tbe once popular fallacy that it costs a large amount to contrive mis sionary contributions to heathen lands is r*pvily becoming effete Buch a statement now only provokes a smile from tbe intelligent. Ideas of this kind emanate from stupidity or preju dice. The source of exchange between Christian and heathen countries is generally such as to cause values-that leave our country to appreciate very materially after arrival upon foreign shores. Contributions to convert heathens to Christianity should always be free will offerings. God loves a cheerful giver. Money given for missionarj' purposes should be accompanied with tbe sin cere wish that it may do good. When the gift leaves our hands, our respon sibility ceases. When we place a gift upon tbe altar, let us take oar hands off. Wherf we bestow our goods for a good cause, let absolute title pass from our possession. •— Frightful Runaway. Yesterday afternoon Elder T. J. Head, of Brushey, drove his horse to the passenger station in this city, and left his horse and buggy standing for a few moments. By some means the horse became frightened and ran away, coming up Hill street he turned around the Odd Fellows building, and collided with a wagon. The bugfcy was smashed into splint ers while tbe horse escaped injury. Educate Yoar BoweU With Caseareta. Candy Cathartic, cure constipation forever. 10c, 25e. If C. C.
