DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
A Beautiful Home Burned Saturday
Horning.
About one o’clock Saturday morning
Griffin was aroused from her slumbers
by the startling cry of "fire.”
The heavens were soon lighted up
and the reflection troin the overhang'
ing ciouds made light every part of
the city
It was the burning of P S. Parma
lee’s beautiful home, just north of the
Chambers hotel.
The fire originated in the cook
room and when the flames had eaten
through '.he roof a si iff east wind soon
carried the blighting elements to the
residence, which burned like a tender
box '
This was one of the best built homes
in Griffin, and its loss will fall heavily
upon Mr. Parmalee, who had pur
chased it but a few years since.
Scarcely anything was saved from
the building, the children barely es«
caping in their night clothes, some of
them wrapped io bed clothing, not
having time to get clothing. The few
articles of furniture taken from the
front rooms were so badly damaged as
to be worthless.
Mr. Parmalee bad an insurance of
$2,000 upon hie home and SSOO upon
his furniture,which will prove a bless*
ing, but will fall far short of reinstat'
ing him as was the night before the
fire.
The East wind carried millions of
sparks upon the housetops for blocks
away, and the.firemen were kept busy
washing them off,and thus preventing
other loes.
The expressions of sympathy were
many and true heard among the spec ?
tutors at the conflagation.

"The Downward Steps of a Strong
Young Man’’ is the subject for this af
ternoon’s men’s meeting at the Young
Men’s Christian Association.
A male quartette will bo organized
this week.
The ladies’ committee have under*
taken to improve the rooms ; the walls
are to be tinted, new curtains put up,
dishes purchased, etc.
Mr. A. S. Campbell has kindly put
in a marble lavatory on the second
floor and the bathing apartment has
been otherwise improved.
After the oiling of the woodwork is
finished and a few other improvements
made, the association building will be
one of the nicest retreats in Griffin.
Dr. Woodbridge has instructed most
successfully a Bible class for the past 2
wafiks and will be with the young men
again on Monday night. The board of
directors attach great importance to
this class, and would gladly welcome
every young man of the city to its
privileges

WOMAN’S FOREIGN
MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
by the bechetary of the griffin
DISTRICT.
Our Lord’s Prayer cannot be hedged
in so as to exclude the foreign mis*
sioosry spirit. ’ Our Father which is
in heaven’’ is euub an appellation of
the deity as universally belongs to all
mankind. “Thy kingdom come’’is an
expression of desire that the dominion
of Christ shall be set up in al) human
hearts without restriction or limita
tion
No one who weighs the meaning of
words or discerns the true spirit of holy
invocation can utter or breathe the
Lord’s Prayer without being in favor
of foreign missions. Without sincerity
prayer is a mockery. Therefore, when
you repeal the Lord’s Prayer and say
"Thy kingdom come,” don’t say that
you don’t believe in fo.-eign missions.
The twentieth annual meeting of the
Woman’s Missionary Society of the
North Georgia Conference convenes in
Forsyth April 20 24, 1898. Let dele*
gates to this meeting bo appointed at
the next regular meeting of auxilia
ries. Lady managers are expected to
represent their juvenile societies. Let
us begin now to pray for the blessing
of the Lord upon this meeting, and let
us deny ourselves that this work may
increase, In simplicity of dreas let us
show our faith by our woiks. God
forbid that a single delegate should at*
tend the meeting for any other pur*
pose than the advancement of His
kingdom. Names of delegates should
be sent to Miss Mamie Pye, Forsyth,
Ga , or Tudie Stone Robinson, Record
ing Secretary.
