"I am a sword of Damascus steel; . I’ll fight or die, come woe or weal. I love the sound of the battle’s din, And fame and glory I would win. Aye to my master I’ll be true; Now tell me, comrade, who are you 1” “I am a blossom of low degree, Kiss by the breeze from yonder sea; Only a flower of no renown ' Growing alone on my native down, To bless and cheer in my lowly way The hearts of the men whom you would slay.” —William Edward Cameron. ♦ * • Fashion’s mandates are pre-emptory. This is particularly appreciative to the edict that banishes the pompadour and installs the bang in the place of honor. Women are evading the issue* The pompadour lias been moved back as far As possible and a modified bang adopted. Thp result is shown by the Sunday World artist. The sketch was taken from the coiffure worn by one of the most fashionable women in New York. This mode is one which is at present worn more than any other. It is really the legitimate successor of the Gibson coiffure. The effect sought after in this slyle of is artistic simplicity. /The tresses have the ap» pearance of being thrown carelessly back in luxurient waves. Appearances, however, are very deceptive in this case. Toe desired arrangement is ob tained only by the most careful hair dressing. First the hiar must be well cleaned. Clean, fluffy hair, free from every par ticle of dirt and grease, is the first essentia). After a thorough brushing the hair is divided and the back por tion is tied loosely. The front half is curled in large waves and brushed into a fluffy mass down over the face. All of the little short ends are turned over into tiny curls. A pompadour roll of medium size is pinned on either side, close to the ears, but does not extend over the top of the head. Tbe hair is then thrown loosely back, but is brush ed carefully, so that it does not fall apart in straggly locks, The roll pulls forward over the face and over the ears, concealing all but the tips. The top hair is brushed straight back, so that no suggestion of pompa dour remains. The waves dispel any appearence of flatness, and .there is a gradual elevation as the crown of the head is reached. Here the ends are curled into little rings, which adjust themselves in artistic disorder. Little Chris cluster on either temple, in gentle suggestion of the prescribed bang. Tbe back hair is caught rather low in soft little puffs end loops. Two curls escape and fall to the nape of the neck. Not a hairpiu is visiole, al though a great number are required to insure the tidiness and security of the coiffure. Hairdressers are showing something that is a boon to the women with thin hair. It is a puff that exactly matches tbe hair. They come rolled in a hol low puff and are made of long, straight bair, stitched at one end to a wire. The puff is unrolled and the wired end pinned to a pompadour puff The hair is then rolled over the pompadour pad, pinned to madam’s head and her own hair brushed over it. A beautiful luxuriant roll is the result. No gap ing trisses, which exhibit tbe ueiy pad, disfigure the coiffure. This in vention alro obviates the frizz’ng pro cess which so many resort to in order to secure the appearance of abundant lock i * * * The reception and concert given at the Y. C. A. on Friday tveviog was a rare treat for the members of (he Asso ciation and their friends. The recep tion begun at 7-.30 o’clock, and one hour later came the concert. Refresh ments consisting of salads, wafers, olives, pickle, chocolate and coffee were served by tbe Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Association. The programme was made up of strong local talent, assisted by Druckenmiller’s Orchestra. A small admission fee was charged and the musicloving people of Griffin showed their appreciation qf good music by giving a full bouse.

Tbe prettiest styles is copied from a sailor blouse, opening over a tucked, pointed , vest. The revers turn back and are faced with while satin. A jabot of handsome lace does duty as the sailor knot. * • • The ever convenient black silk skirt can now be made over into a thorough ly up-to date gown. Fishnet and gren adines are most fashionable There is a large selection to choose from at very reasonable prices. A pretty skirt can be made by flouncing the silk foundrtiou to tbe waia£ with full shirr ed ruffles of the net or grenadine. Several rows of satin ribbon finish the ruffles, and the result is a very effec tive garment at a small cost. ... Miss Leila Redding has returned home to the delight of her many friends. Miss Redding’s visit in Ma con was a most happy one, and while there she was complimented with sev eral pretty affaairs. . Tbe card party with which Mr. and Mrs. Jack Lamar on Monday evening last honored Miss Redding was an en tertainment as enjoyable as it was ele gant. Tbe handsome home of Mr. and Mrs. Lamar was brilliant with lights and flowers, and there was a de lightful circle of guests assembled. The name cards were exquisitely hand painte<|,/and were in themselves lovely souvenirs of a most pleasant evening. 1 Miss Redding was the fortunate win- ' ner of tbe first prize—a dainty silver glove buttoner. Another affair, smaller but quite as enjoyable and elegant, was tbe lunch eon given to M iss Reddiug by Mrs. John Turner. ♦ * * several weeks delightfully spent as the guest of Mrs. W. F.

BY' THE SECRETARY OF THE GRIFFIX A® DISTRICT. ’ , ——“ Ik. Young J. Aflen, Georgia’s most distinguished foreign missionary to China, will be in America shortly. He was elected at the China Mission Con ference the delegate to tbe general conference in Baltimore in May next. He will represent not only the China Mission Conference, bnt the woman’s work as it has been conducted in Chi na. If possible, bis presence will be secured at our annual meeting at For syth during next month. ( Tbe report from the various auxili ary and juvenile societies in the diss trict are in for the last quarter for 1897. When consolidated, we think they will show improvement for Griffin district over past years. This is as it should be. There is much “life in the old land yet.” The normal of man without conver sion is out of sin. The sinful man or woman has no love for Christian insti- UaSiaus fees account* lor much of the opposition to missionary work. No true Christian can, from principle, object to any proper form of Christian work. Wickedness is batural; right eousness is supernatural. Total de pravity of human nature inclines man to sin ; religion wages incessant war upon all evil. There is seemingly much objection to tbe “new woman,” but there can possibly be no reasonable objection to the “new man.” The world properly looks with suspicion upon any of wo man’s departures from tbe moral and social standards of old. Tbe “old Adam” that is more or less apt to as sert itself at times in everybody ought to be put off entirely. Put on the “new man"—even Christ Jesus—and let Him guide you in the way of truth and eternal life. ANNOUNCEMENT. For Sheriff.
