I at her pretty home on North Hill
I street. The decoration* were of fra-
I er «nt sweet pea blossoms and delicate
I ferns, and lbe wrved as»
| ter all bu3ine»» bad been transacted
■ were delicioue. Much of the pleasure
I was due to the charmiag hostess, who,
K filb her grace and aff.blene**, won
I- her way to many heart*. Altogether
II the affair was one long to be retqeris
f bered.
K•* * *
I The maey friend* of Miss Genie
I West are delighted to bare her among
I them once more. Miss West will re*
I main in Griffin several weeks.
The marriage of Mies Alberta Holt
and Mr. Herbert I. Smartt was *ol
emnized Wednesday afternoon at 2
o’clock in the presence of a delightful
circle of friend* at the residence of the
bride’s father, Mr A. 3. Holt, of Ma
con. Although only the intimate
friend* of the bride and groom were
present, the assemblage was a brilliant
one, consisting of some of the most
prominent persons of Macon.
The Holt residence looked very
handsome on this occasion. The
mantels were banked with ferae and
flowers; palm* lifted their green fronds
against the white woodwork of pretty
corners; roses and sweet pea* blushed
on all side*, and a magnificent oleand
er filled with pink blossom* was the
admiration of all beholder*.
In the large reception ball the
guests grouped around, a number of
them forming a vari tinted garland on
the stairway, where they stood during
the marriage service.
The bride, who is beautiful and de*
•ervedly one of Macon’s moat popular
girls, was becomingly gowned in a
stylish tailor suit of fawn colored cloth
with yoke of white satin. A hat of
turquoise blue was worn with this suit
and she carried a shower bouquet of
bride's rose*. Never did she look fair*
er and lovelier than in this charming
costume-a
Miss Holt was attended by Mis* Sara
Gutbenberger, of Vineville, as maid of
honor, and Miss Lollie Gilmore, of
Sandersville, Mis* Mabelle Young, of
EufAula, Mis* Lovetts Bullock, of
Florida, as bridesmaids. All were
beautifully gowned in white organdie
with picture bats of black chip, trim
med with black ostrich tips
Mr. Smartt is one of Macon’s most
young business men and is
personally very attractive.. He is first
sergeant of the Macon Hussars and is
one of the most popular members of
the company. Mr. Loyd Massenburg
acted as Mr. Smartt’s best man, and
Messrs. Lofton Hyman, Edgar Ross
and Henley Napier were tbs grooms-"
men.
The entire occasion was one of en
joyment and congratulation, only dim
med by tfie realization that Mr. and
Mrs. Smartt must necessarily leave
Macon. Immediately after the cere
. mony they left for Griffin, Mr. Smartt
joined his company at Camp Nortben,
and Mrs. Smartt is.for the present with
Mrs. W. E. H. Searcy, Jr.
* * *
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert I. Smartt were
delightfully complimented with a
charming luncheon on Friday last by
Mre. B. B. Davis. This luncheon, in
Point of unique and artistic beauty has
never been surpassed in Griffin. The
drawingrooms were decorated with
beautiful cut flowers and in the ball
handsome potted plants were grouped.
The diningroom, with its richly carved
woodwork, had an added charm in the
floral adornment of sweet pea bios
sons Large bowls and rases filled
with these fragrant blossom* and trail
log vines adorned the table. The sou
venirs were dainty bunches of sweet
Peas tied with pink ribbon.
Mrs. Davis, always a gracious and
delightful hostess, was on this occa
sion particularly attractive in a beau
tiful summer toilette of figured dimity
with profuse trimming* of lace and
ribbon. Mrs. Smartt wore a handsome
gown of clack grenadine over Ameri
. «an beauty taffetas and never looked
lotslisr.

Barnesville; Miss Lizzie Thomas, of For
syth; Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Mathews, Mr.

with a fe» outside friends who en

The occasion was one of those charm
ing al-fresco affairs, and the hostess,
a* th* presiding genius, gave tn the
hour, the color ofjier own bright per
sonality. A progressive rail-way jour
ney was the feature of the afternoon
and a very delightful journey it proved
to be for all. On entering the ball
the guests were directed to a charming
alcove in the rear hall, where tickets
for this journey were sold by Miss
Jacksonia Mills. They were then
conducted to tho broad veranda, where
a number of small tables were placed,
at which the guests were seated and
required to give the stations between
the cities named in the tickets. Mrs
Walter Becks received the first prize,*
traveling tag, and Miss Opal Smith,
the second, a book of travels. This
affair brought together a number of
Griffin’s most beautiful and cultured
women in a home given to sweet hos
pitalities. That artistic home redolent
of travel and culture, never locked
lovelier than on Tuesday. Mrs. Charles
Mills and Mrs. Howard Watt, of At

given, assisted Mrs. Mills in receiving
her guests. Elegant refreshments

lightful musical programme which
had been arranged, was admirably ren

mission fee was charged, a nice sum
was realized.

One of the prettiest social events of
the past week was the tea with which
Miss Corinne Nall complimented a
few friends last Wednesday. The Nall
home on South Hill street, one of the
handsomest and most attractive in the
city, was brilliantly lighted and beau
tifully decorated with quantities of
ferns ai.d roses and groups of growing
plants. Miss Nall is a delightful hos
tess always, and on this occasion her
guests found her unusually bright and
charming. She wore an airy summer
frock of blue organdie profusely
trimmed with narrow black velvet
ribbon, which was beautiful and quite
becoming. In the very elegant dining
room, the decorations were entirely of
sweet pea blossoms. The center piece
on the table was a large cut glass bowl
filled with the pretty blooms, and over
the glistening surface of the satin
damask cloth, there was » delicate
tracery of smilax An elegant menu
Was served.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE IV, 1828.
VERY SWIFT CRUISERS
WILL CARRY RIINFOBCEMENTS
FOR GENERAL SHAFTER.
President May Issue Another Call for
Volunteers—Spanish Fleet Sails
for th* Philippines.
Washington, June 18.—-AJ confers
ence was held at the White House to
day between the president, Secretaries
Long snd Alger, General Miles and
other officers of the army end navy.
Daring the conference General Miles
convinced President McKinley end
Secretary Alger that haste was needed
in lending reinforcement* to the
troop* under General Shafter at San.
tiago.
The secretary of war made a request
of Secretary Long for the use of the
Yale and Harvard for sending over
other troops and th* requst was gran
ted. It is thought th* St. Paul and
St. Louis may also x be used for the
same purpose. /
Gensrsl Miles is satisfisd that 20,000
Spanish troops will he mobilized in th*
vicinity of Ssntiago, and be is deter*
mined to give General Shafter a suffi
cient number to cope with the enemy.
Calculations mads at ths war depart
ment predict tho landing of the Santi
ago expedition on Sunday or Monday.
Three or fourday* will be given the
troops in which to rest before active
operations are begun. Should the
Spanish appear in force, however,'bat
lie will be given at voce.
It has been suggested that owing do
the heavy demands for troops, far ex
ceeding the number originally believed
to be sufficient, there will be occasion
to issue another call for volunteers.
The state department has received
the following dispatch from its agent
al Gibraltar:
“Carlos V, Pelayo, Rapido, Patricia,
Andas, Osado, Proserpina, Giralda, Pe
lajo,Colon with the minister en board,
Alfonso XII, Canadonna, Antonio
Lopez, I*l* Panos, Buenos Ayres and
Ban Fraueiaco fait Cadiz yestbrday.
First eleven passed th* Rock bound
for Carthagena for orders. Tbe last
three have troops on board.”
This is Admiral Camera’* Cadiz
squadron and appear* to be in tbe
Mediterranean bound for African
shores.
The war department expect* to util
ise approximately thirty-five trans
ports in the expedition for the invas
ion of Porto Rico. This statement
was made officially at th* department.
It seems to indicate that tbe Porto
Rico army will equal if not exceed in
number that which left for Santiago.
The estimate is made that thirty-five
vessels will carry between 15,000 and
20,000 men with their equipmentsand
subsistence.
Lawton May Be a Brigadier.
A special from Chickamauga to the
Constitution says:
It is believed here that Col. A. R.
Lawton, of the First Georgia regiment
will be made a brigadier general. It is
almost certain that be will be placed
in command of the brigade in which
be will be assigned. /
Tbs Georgia regiment will go in tho
First brigade of tbe Second division
of tbe First army corps. Tbe brigade
is made up of Indiana and Michigan
troops. It is at present commanded
by Col. Gardner.
The Second division is commanded
by Gen. Poland, and the First corp*
by Gen. Brooke. Col. Lawton out
ranks Co). Gardner, and it is expected
that he will be placed in command,
being the ranking colonel of the brig
ade.
If he be given command of the brig
ade, it will be only a question of
time before he is made a brigadier
general.
Tbs location of the camp of the
Georgians is pne of tbe best in ths
park. It is nearly four miles from
Lytle, where tbe trouble is occurring,
and is consequently four miles from
Gen. Brooke’s headquarters.
Yellow Jaundice Cured-
Suffering humanity should be sup
plied with every means possible for
its relief. It is with pleasure we pub
lish the following; “This is to certify
that I was a terrible sufferer from yel
low jaundice for over six months, and
was treated by some of tbe best phy
sician* io ear city and all to no avail.
Dr. Bell, our druggist, recommended
Electric Bitten; and after taking, two
bottles, I was entirely eared. I now
take great pleasure in recommending
them to any person suffering from
this terrible malady. lam gratefully
yours, M A. Hogarty, Lexington,Ky.”

TBE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS #
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the Caixfomia Fig Srnnp
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the Cautorxia Fig Sybvp Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Sybup Co. with tbe medi
cal profession, and tbe satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of ita remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxative*,
as it acta on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without Irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get ita beneficial
effect*, please remember the name of
