PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
Love la an angel, exiled from the skies,
Whence by his brother angels he was
driven,
He having marred the calm repose of
heaven
With his unrest, his laughter and his
sighs;
Now in the human heart his home he
builds,
And there abides, his wings forever furled,
Teaching his heavenly lore to all the world
Wherefore each heart to him fond homage
yields;
Who does not own that his enchanting
voice
Makes sweeter music than the chiming
spheres, .
And that without his sorrows and his joys
This world were but a waste ot dreary
years?
0 Love, who can resist thy bleet control,
Thou lord of life and sovereign of the soul!

No matter how becoming a woman’s
gown Wt>o matter how handsome she
herselßgtoy be, unless she wears a be
cominghat, the most essential acces
sory of dress is lacking, and her toilet
is incomplete. There is no excuse for
any woman’s not having a suitable
hat, for this season wili show a variety
of bats that will afford a round faceed,
oval faced, and even the long faced
lady the opportunity of looking her
. very best. Women of fashion in Lon
don are said to wear what is stylish,
wbether.it is becoming or not, but the
French women, accused of being the
greatest slaves to fashion, never wear
anything that is not becoming. They
have the happy faculty of adapting
fashion to themselves, and in this fac
ulty the American women are similar.
This season the hats are so varied in
shape and makeup that the woman of
fashion at the millinery openings will
have as great a feast before her as the
. has who visits the season’s art
exhibitions.

GRIFFIN. GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1808.
CORPORAL PERKERBON DEAD-
Camp News Hurriedly Gathered For
The Call.
Yewerdsy morning Capt. 8. V. San
ford received a telegram from Austell
announcing the death of Corporal
Carl B. Perkerson, who bad been at
home in that place some days with ty
pohid fever.
Perkereon was taken sick at Camp
Norihen some weeks ago, and upon
request was sent home on a furlough.
His death is deeply regretted by the
entire camp, as he was from one of the
most prominent families in North
Georgia, end had proven to be an ideal
soldier. *
A large detail from bis company
went upto Austell last night to honor
their dead hero, who will be buried to
day. j
The sick list now at c ;mp is rapidly
decreasing, and while there are still
quite a number confined at the hospit
al, it is small compared to the list of
two weeks ago.
Wm. J. Lynn, who was shot through
the bead several days ago, is recover
ing very favorably, and will be out
again before many days. Lynn’s re
covery will be a remarkable one, as
no hope was entertained for his recov
ery when the accident occurred. Ev
ery one who saw his wound thought
he must surely die.
The officers are all worried dow
with one McCullum, a Scotchman,
who was arrested some weeks ago tor
a minor offense and who has since
that time given every man in camp a
good dose of his meanness. McCul
lum is mean without a doubt, and has
to be band cuffed and tied in his cell
at the guard house. And in this con
dition he has tried to murder the
guards around him. Yesterday morn
ing while handcuffed he attacked the
corporal and but for the presence of
others would have hurt the officer se
riously. He is a bad fellow and all
will rejoice when he is tried, convicted
and out of camp.
Col. Candler has had the roads run
ning through the camp grounds newly
worked by the prisoners serving police
duty. The road leading to the hospi
tal is now a very pretty one, having
been recently worked by a large num
ber of men under sentence of bard
labor.
Bemarkable Rescue,
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
111., makes the statement that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month by
her family physician, bdt grew worse.
He told her she was a hopeless victim
of consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist sug
gested Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption ; she bought abottle and
to her delight found herself benefited
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking six bottles, found
herself sound and well; now does her
own housework, and is >s well as she
ever was.—Free trial bottles of this

Boxing * Bride’s Sar.
In Lithuania, a province of Russia, ft
is customary that the bride'sears should
be boxed before the marriage ceremony.
No matter how tender hearted the moth
er may be she always makes it a point
of administering a hearty smack to her
daughter in the presence of witnesses,
and a note is made of the fact. The
mother’s intention is a kind one, though
the custom itself is bad. The reason for
it is to protect the bride should her mar
riage prove an unhappy one. In that
case she will sue for a divorce, and her
plea will be that she was forced into the
marriage against her will, and on that
score the verdict of the judge will be in
her favor.

THE 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 California Fig Syhup
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 California Fig Sybup 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 Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the 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 its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
