pleasantly reported for
SUNDAY’S CALL.
A poet wrote In atender strain,
And this was the simple, sweet refrain:
“There’s many a woman, east and west,
Must be in the sunshine to look her beet."
Aye, poet fair, you hare seen the flush
Kindled by sun-kiss fill! to the blush;
You saw the sheen of the golden hair
When the sunlight stroked its tresses fair.
You thought but of hearts that are gay
and light;
You saw these only, that made you
write.-
“There’s never a woman, east nor west,
But must be in the sunshine to look her
beat."
But, ah, I have seen, when the shadows
fell,
And sorrows came that no tongue could
tell,
Faces more fair for the life storm-swept,
And tenderer eyes for the tears they wept.
And natures more beautiful I have known
For the cruel clouds that were o’er them
thrown,
The touch of a hand so soft I knew
More soft for the pain it had trembled
through.
I know some hearts that are tenderer far
For the lack of the sunshine, so there are
Some women who suffer, east and west
Who live through the shadows to show
their best.

The first really cool autumn days
dot only have an effect upon the at
mosphere, but create a visable change
in the number of society women seen
•in the shops and on the streets, The
fashionable dry goods establishments
have almost the appearance of recep
tion halls, where many pleasant greet
ings are exchanged between those who
have been out of town the greater por
tion of the summer. The serious and
all-absorbing theme is the considering
and ordering costumes, street frocks,
and evening gowns for the fall and
winter, end to have them prepared
before the gayetiea of the winter really
begin. At present only the mildest
festivity ripples the social wave, and*
one would wonder if such things as
balls and card parties ever existed, if
it were npt for the constant talk of the
gayety to come during the approach
ing season.

A Spalding Gouty Mu Carried to
Alabama on a florions Charge-
, J. A- Edwards, who has been in
, Spalding county jail for several weeks
awaiting trial for forgery, has been
turned over to tbe U. 8. authorities
I who want him for robbing the mail* in
Alibama.
When Edward* heard tbe officers
were coming after him be tried to
work the insanity racket, and for sev
eral days past has been as orasy a*
Flannigan.
Yesterday morning U. 8. Deputy
Marshal C. 8. Robertson, of Opelika,
Ala., arrived in the city after Edwards,
but before the local officers delivered
, him up, be was tried for lunacy before
Ordinary Drewry. Dr*. Taylor, Kelley
and Drewry examined the prisoner
and it was the opinion of all that Ed
wards was perfectly sane, and be was
delivered up to tbe deputymarshal.
He become very obstreperous and it
required several officers to take him
frofo jail to the passenger station, but
when the Southern left last night be
was aboard, securely band cuffed, and
it will probably be many month* be
fore bis return to Spalding county to
stand trial for forgery.
How to Look Sood.
■<-
Good look* are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver is inactive, ’ you
have a bilious look; if your stomach
is disordered, you have a dyspeptic
look; if your kidneys are affected, you
have a pinched look. Secure good
health, and jrou will surely have good
looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good
Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly
on the stomach, liver and kidneys,
purifies the blood, cures pimples,
blotches and boils, and gives a good
complexion. Every bottle guaranteed.
Sold at Carlisle <fc Ward’s and J. N.
Harris A Son’s drug stores. 50 cents
per bottle.
Why Grant Mever Swore-
While sitting with him at the camp
fire late one night, after everyone else
bad gone to bed, I said to him :
“General, it seems singular that
yew bave gene through all tbe tumble
of army service and frontier life, and
bave nbver been provoked into swear
ing. I bave never beard you utter an
oath or use an imprecation.”
“Well, somehow or other, I never
learned to swear,” he replied. “When
a boy I seemed to have an aversion to
it, and when I became a man I saw
tbe folly of it. I bave always noticed,
too, that swearing helps to rouse a
mao’s anger; and when a man flies
into a passion, bis adversary who
keeps cool always gets the better of
him. Io fact, I could never see tbe
use of swearing. 4 think it is the case
with many people who swear exces
sively, that it is a mere habit, and that
they do not mean to be profane, but,
to say the least, it is a great waste of
time.”—Michigan Advertiser,

The Farmers and Warehouses.
The farmers of this and adjoining
counties held a meeting in tbe court
house Wednesday to discuss tbe ware
-1 house question and ascertain why they
were not given tbe usual 10 cents
‘ rebate on each bale of cotton weighed,
which ha* been done for the past three
season*.
The manager* of the Cole and Brick
warehouse*, which are run by tbe
farmers, did not think they could give
tho reoate this yesr because of the
heavy rents and for other causes. This
did not satisfy the planters, and a
committee composed of B. N. Barrow
and Charlie Hammond, of Spalding,
and Coker, of Pike, was appointed to
confer further with the managers and
report at a meeting called for yester
day.
When tbe meeting was called to
1 order yesterday at noon tbe committee
( rjporled that tbe warehouse manager*
declined to make tbe concession*
’ asked lor.
Th* committee then waited on W.
B. Griffin, and asked him to lease the
Planters warehouse and allow tbe
usual rebate. Mr. Griffin after consid
ering the matter for some time decided
to do *O, and now our city will bave
four warehouse* this season.
