Every confederate veteran in Spalding county la earnestly requested to meet in Griffin, In the dty council chamber, Kin caid block, at 10 o’clock, Wednesday morning the SBd Inst, to discuss and ar range preliminaries for attending the re union of the United Confederate veterans -of the South soon to be held In Atlanta. It is desired that every veteran in Spalding County so arrange to attend thia grand reunion, and we should endeavor to go in a body. By order of W. R. Hamlbitur, J. P. Bawtbll, - ' Commander.

A .. The war excitement baa its good points as well as its bad ones. It baa diverted the attention of the people I from the currency question and other matters which have been retarding the I development, of business It has I caused many to forget troubles which were more imaginary than real. It has awakened a healthy spirit of pa triotism all over the country, which will draw the various sections closer |p?y" together.,.. Congressman Charles H. Grosvenor, of Ohio, draws a pension of S3O per I month for disabilities received during I the lime of the war. He carries two insurance policies upon bis life, for SIO,OOO each. If he was so badly ins jnred during tbe lime of the war as to I be entitled to receive a pension, bow I did be manage to pass the insurance examination t The New York Times I suggests that either the United Stales government nr tbe life insurance com panies have been fooled in this case. Rome Tribune: It is understood I that Hon. Seaborn Wright received a I telegram yesterday asking him to I accept tbe nomination for attorney general on the stale Populist ticket- It is also said that Mr. Wright wired a I positive refusal to not only that Domi nation but any other they might make, in so far as concerned himself. It is I known that Mr. Wright is averse to allowing tbe use ol bis name io the I plans for the state Populist ticket, and I the above facts are probably entirely I true. • «—p—— The official call for the assembling I of the Association of Medical Officers, I Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons of I tbe Confederate States Army and I Navy at the reunion ol tbe United I Confederate Veterans, has been issued I 1 and will be sent out to the press of the ‘ country this week. This is tbe first I time the association has met at a reunion of tbe veterans and adds to 1 Chat important event an interesting , feature. Tbe association is quite a ; large one and has been in existence ] for some time. It has met at times i during each year and held reunions of its own, bat it is intended this year to have tbe largest and most entertaining « reunion that tbe association baa yet r bold. i n w 4/ ■ NATURE OF LIFE. A IW* «m Um Interaction es the Constlt «< PrsMßlPm. • Herbert Spencer's definition of the nature of life implies, as to well known, 6 • continuous adjustment at internal to external relations, says the London Lancet. In other word*, vitality is pre 9 served by interactions going on between the constituents of tha protoplasm. On tbe face of ft this view must bo very materially modified in the light of some * exceedingly interesting experiments re -1 eently brought to the notice of tbe r Royal poctoty by Horace Brown, whose | Maacto MMWurchos on that interesting class of ferments the enzymes are well . kxibwn. He has found that by subnrit tkug seeds to the very low temperature of evaporating liquid air—i. e., from > —IBB degrees CL to 102 degrees C. —for 110 consecutive hours their power of ‘ germinating la not in any way impair ed. Since the above temperature is con riderabjy below that at which ordinary chemiagl reactions take place, tho re sult U v®ry remarkable and would ap pear to show that although a state of ocftnpleto chemical inertness in proto -1 plasm may be established it does not necessarily lead to a destruction of its I potential activity. Is this protoplasm thus brought to a “resting” condition to burst into activi ty on restoring favorable conditions? If ( so, what becomes of life during this “rest?” These observations are also of interest in connection with the sugges , tlon of Lord Kelvin that the origin of life as we know it may have been extra 1 tcrpeotrial and due to tbe “moss grown fragments from the ruins of another I warlf*! which reached the earth as meteorites. That such fragments might - circulate in tbe intense cold space for a perfectly indefinite period without prej udice to their freight of seeds or spores is, Houme Brown fqmarkq almost cer tain frddf facto we know abont tbe ! maintenance of life by “resting” pro toplast?. Tho difficulties in the way of accepting such a bypothesig certainly ’ do not Be in thia direction. Here is an lnteatot»< problem for biologists, and the development of the question will bo followed with the keenest interest. TRICKS OF MEMORY. , Wetebto Example. «f VW V etfuUMM P That - Ar® to «» Tna. r ’ Tke firsb man to start a school for tho ■ rttplgitlg efi memory was a Greek, Si monides, who read one of bis poetic compositions to a large audience and so fascinated them that when he bowed and withdrew from tbe building they sat spellbound. The roof caved in and killed them all, mangling them so that tbe bodies were unrecognizable, but Si monidgW Axreatn via tgscue of the de spairing relatives and said he could re member where each person in the audi ence sat and who he was. As there was no one to dispute his decisions his iden tification was satisfactory, and he profit ed by the enthusiasm to start a memory school. I A young woman of no education fell I ill in a small German town. She could I neither read nor write, yet she raved in I Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and the sim ple villagers thought she was possessed I of the deviL Investigation proved that at the age of 9 she had been taken by a charitable old Protestant pastor. It was I his custom for years to walk up and 1 down a passage of tbe house into which I the kitchen opened and read to himself I in a loud voi6e out of bis books. These I books were ransacked by tbe physician I in charge of the curious case and who I had made inquiries into the sick girl’s I past life, and in them were found tho identical Greek and Latin passages I which the girl in her delirium had re peated. There is an authentic qase of a bril- I liant young woman, happily married, I who had a long illness, the result of I which was that when she recovered she had lost every recollection of her life from the day of her marriage, inclusive of the ceremony. The rest of her life up I to that point she remembered clearly. I At first she pushed her husband and her child from her in alarm, but her par arts and friends have convinced her she I is married and has a son. She believes I their word of necessity, though she has I never recovered her memory of that one I year which is lost to her.—Exchange. I » The Servian Dram. The mtn who play the big drums in I the dltterent regiments of the Servian army must have an easier lot than tbe drummers at other lands, for they do not have to carry their own drums. In nearly all cases instead of being slupg in front of the man who plays it tbe Instrument is put on a small two wheel aart drawn by a large dog. Os oourss the drummer must play as he marches, but the dog is so well trained that there is no difficulty in doing this. The animal keeps his place even through the longest marches, and the drummer walks behind the cart, per forming on his instrument as it goes along. Each regiment is provided with two or three big drums, but very few regiments have a band. —Youth’s Com panion. Not Always. "Remember, my boy,” said Uncle' James as he gave Bobby a coin, “that if you take care of the pennies tbe shil lings will take care of themselves. ’ ’ Bobby looked a trifle dubious. “I do take care of the pennies, ” he replied, “ but as soon as they get to be shillings pa taketf~care of ’em. ”—Lon don Tit-Bits.
