PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
Oh heart of mine, we shouldn’t
Worry so!
Whet we’re missed ofcalm we couldn’t
Have, you know!
What we’ve missed of stormy pain,
And of sorrow’s driving rain,
We can better meet again
If it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known,
When our tears fell with the shower.
All alone—
Were not shine and shadow blent
As the Gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For, we know, net every morrow -
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.

It is not a bit too early in the season to
begin to think over and plan about what
we shall give for Christmas. War souve
nirs are so much in vogue just now and
will be for some time to come, that the
girl who can make her Christmas gilts .a
memory of war time sentiment will be the
most popular one at the holiday season.
One particular girl, with this in view, has
set her wits to work and has evolved a
novel war-time sofa-pillow. These pillow
presents are especially intended for girl
friends. The foundation of the cushion is
divine, in any desired shade, ana is bound
with red, white and blue ribbons, with
bows of the national colors at each corner.
On the diyine cover are embroidered the
names, initials, or monograms of all the
soldier Mends of the girl for whom the
present is intended. The embroidery is
done in colored silk or flosses. These
semi-patriotic sentimental sofa-cushions
promise to play a prominent part among
the uniqe Christmas presents to be received
this year.

The marriage ceremony which united
Miss Annie Clyde Kilis, of Atlanta, and
Prof Eugene Ragland, of this city, at St.
John’s Methodist church in Atlanta on
Wednesday evening last, was a beautiful
one in every detail. The church was ef
fectively decorated with palms, ferns and
pure white chrysanthemums, and was
filled with the friends of the bride and
groom. The Rev. Henry J. Ellis, father
of the bride and the beloved pastor of St.
John’s, performed the ceremony which
was the sweet and simple one of the Meth
odist ritual. There was only one brides
maid, Miss Susie Ellis, the beautiful sister
of the bride. She was gowned in a
dainty and becoming frock of white taffe
ta, exquisitely fashioned. She carried a
shower bouquet of bridesmaid roses. Mr.
John Ward, of this city, acted as Prof.
Ragland’s beat man and the ushers were
Mr. Frank Johnston, Mr. Myron Freeman,
Mr. Charles I. Branan and Prof. D. C.
Peacock, all of Atlanta. Mrs. Ragland is
the daughter of the Rev. Dr. Henry Ellis,
and is a most attractive young woman.
She is gentle and dignified and has the
faculty of winning and holding friends.
Prof. Ragland is the professor of sciences
and mathematics in the Charles M. Neel
Institute and is a young man of splendid
ability. He is widely known and holds
the highest esteem of all. Prof, and Mrs.
Ragland are stopping for the present with
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Drewry.

I hold,Sweetheart,Love’s other name,
To be—lnconstancy;
For love cannot aye be the same,
Nor even changing be.
The song that charmed the ear today,
The rose that pleased the sight,
Are on the morrow cast away,
. They no more give delight.
So loves of yesterday grow tame
(The gods have made it so);
*
My love for you is not the same
I , Asin the long ago.
I Mylove is not the same, I say,
But, oh, it still is true
Tis true to you, and every day
I I foil in love anew.
Each day you dearer grow to me
Than you have been before—
And so my love’s Inconstancy
Is that I love you more.

Mrs. Robert Otis Crouch entertained the
Thirteen Club, and a few friends besides,
on Friday afternoon, from 3 to 5 o’clock.
1 The occasion was a particularly delightful
■ one. The Smith residence, on the corner
of Broad and Thirteenth streets, is spa
cious and charmingly arranged for enter
taining. The .hall, which is unusually
large, together with the diningroom and
library, were decorated with palms and
chrysanthemums, in one apartment the
white blossoms being used, in another the
yellow, and in the third, thedark crimson.
The drawing room was particularly love
ly, the pink of the La France roses con
trasting beautifully with the delicate tints
of the walls. Mrs. Crouch received the
guests in an elegant costume of blue and
apple-green grenadine, with an effective
trimming of white silk and passementerie.
Her sister, Mrs. Chas. Wolcott, was attired
in black and white, with trimmings of ce
rise. These two sisters are very handsome
women, and together made a striking pic
ture. Mrs. William Davis, who is one of
Griffin’s acquisitions within the past two
years, and than whom there is no more
popular woman in the city, also assisted
Mrs. Crouch, and added greatly to the
pleasure of the afternoon. A pleasant word
contest resulted in the prize, a great
bunch of handsome chrysanthemums, fall
ing to Miss Opal Smith. During the
game a refreshing beverage was served the
guests by Marjorie Hays Wolcott, the
beautiful little daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Wolcott. The luncheon served was
elegant, and closed the afternoon very
happily. Beside the members of the club,
Mrs. Crouch’s guests were Mrs. Robert F,
Strickland, Mrs. William D. Davis, Miss
Hattie Head.

MRS. H G. DRAKE DEAD-
After Several Years of Affliction She
s |Tow Peacefully Sleeps.
The sad news overspread the city
yesterday that Mrs. Henrietta G. Drake
had died at her home on Meriwether
street at 6:30 o’clock, •
Her death was not qfoexpevtad, for
e she had been au ievnlirt for years and
i- Only the careful attention of her d*-
i- voted children <rt»r prolonged her ex
1 iatence Her dehth was not a surprise
9 to her children, Mr. R 11. Drake, Mr.
k J. E Drake, Mrs W E H Searcy, Jr ,
and R A. Drake who watched by her
bedside. Her passing was aa peaceful
j as her life.
r Mrs. Drake was born in Zebulon,
Pike county, Ga , May 13, 1843, and
when but a child moved to Griffin,
where she received her education, and
as Mias Reaves, was a belle. She mar
• ried Mr Gilman J. Drake, a contract
’ or, and who waa afterward the first
president of tbe City National Bank
Out of respect of Mrs. Drake’s death,

j er with aevera) business houses.
At 10 o’clock today a large concourse

A VATICAN SIGNAL LIGHT.
I Whew the P«»e Dies, If Will Be Kx-
That wonderful old man, Leo XIII, has
1 really made another recovery. It was
only the other morning that, turning to
. his personal attendant, he said with his
sweet smile, “Well, Pio, I wonder what
they will say now, those clever persons
1 who have killed and buried me so often
> in the last 20 years.’’
| Cavaliere Pio Centra, the private servant
,of Leo Xlll,halls from Carplneto,the birth
' place of his master. He is more even than
• a faithful and privileged servant, he Js a
I constant companion. This intimate oon
. neotion with his holiness dates back even
before the ascension of Leo XIII to the
pautl throne. Pio invariably sleeps in a
- small chamber next the bedroom of the
f pope, and there is between the two ao thin
, a partition that he can even hear the
pontiff’s breathing. At aU Mnaaarbete
able to keep aurveillanoe by the aid of a
little glass window, which is at the head
i of his bed. With the telephone he is put
in constant connection with the pope’s
doctor, Professor Lappen i, who lives out
' of the Vatican. Besides this eminent
physician there are two assistant doctors,
i who live in the palace and have tbe care
! of the health of the 500 souls who oom
prise the population of the Vatican. In
1 the days of Pius IX there were many more
who made their abode there.
; Even now that the pontiff is so old and
. for from feeling robqst, he insists on ris
ing early. About 6 o’clock Cavaliere Pio
> Centra knocks at his door, enters, opens the
, shutters and retires immediately, as his
holiness has never liked assistance in his
ordinary dressing, but lately he has had
to give way somewhat, and his valet re
turns to buckle his shoes and tie the white
sash he wean with his white robes.
By an arrangement between the police
and the papal authorities a window next
the papal apartments is kept open daring
the day and closed at night, but with a
lighted lamp behind it. The shutting of
the window in day or the putting out of
the light at night means that something
unusual has happened, and that help is
needed. In case of the illness of the pope
i this singular sign would mean that he is
dead. An Italian sentinel is continually
watching the window.* However, this did
not prevent tbe mistake of General Della
Rocca, undersecretary of state at the home
office in the Crisp! cabinet in 1878, who
( announced in the house the death of Pius
IX live hours before it took place.—Pall
Mall Gazette.

THE HCHIENCE Os SOUP OF ROS
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 Stbup
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 Strvp 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 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 its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on tbe 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
