PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
Would we return—
If the gates which close upon the past
Were open wide for us, and if the dear
Remembered pathway stretched before us
To lead us back to youth’s lost land at
last,
Whereon life’s April shadows lightly
cast
Recalled the old sweet days of childish
fear
With all their faded hopes and brought
ane&r
The fir-off streams on wlich oar skies
were glassed;
Did these soft dreams which wake the
soul’s sad yearning
Bnt live once more and waited our return
mould we return?
Would we return
If love’s enchantment held the heart no
more,
And we come to count the wild, sweet
The fond distress, ihe lavish tears—bnt
vain; M
Had cooled the heart’s hot wounds
amidst the roar
Os mountain gales, or, on some alien
shore
Worn out the soul’s long anguish and had
slain
At last the dragon of despair-if then the
train
Os vanished years move back, and as of
yore,
The same voice called, and with soft eyes
beguiling,
Our lost love beckoned, through time’s
gray veil smiling,
Wduld we return?
Would we return
Once we hadcrossed to death’s unlove
ly land
And trod the bloomless ways among the
dead
Lone and unhappy; after years had fled
With the twilight wings along the glim
mering strand, .
If then—an angel came with outstretch
ed hand
To lead us back, and we recalled in dread
How soon the tears that once for us are
shed
May flow tor others—how like words In
sand
Our memory fades away—how oft our
waking
Might vex the living with the dead heart’s
Woulci’ we return,
Would we return? ,
Whether the weather suggests the
necessity of furs or not, this season
fashion decrees that they are to be
worn more than ever and no toilet in
the morning or afternoon will be com
plete without •’furs.” Matron and
maid will have close up about their
soft cheeks the high storm collar of a
sealskin coat, a black lamb’s wool
jacket, a large cape, a short cape, or
the ever dressy collarette. Mufla will
accompany the wraps and dainty
white gloved hands, even at the late
afternoon receptions will be drawn
warm and comfortable from the snug
confinement of the satin-lined muffs.
Furs are universally becoming, and
for this fact, as well as the innate love
of woman for elegance, their fashion
this season will be one pleasurable to
the feminine pursuasion. With bis
“nose for fashion’’and his malicious
delight in gratifying the whims of
womanhood and tempting their pur
chase of costly things, the merchant is
chuckling over the pleasure he is .giv
ing hie lady customers. In short capes,
on* that deserves all the admiration
that it gets, is of Canadian beaver,
round cut, and finished at the fasten
ing of the high storm collar with a
cluster of atone marten tails. A very
dressy cape is made of electric seal,
with its border and collar of chinchilla
and its lining of pale green silk. Chin
chilla capes cr collarettes, with muffs
to match, have a violet silk lining, and
no matter what is said of the other
manufacturers of feminine raiment
this season, the furrier has done bis
best in fashioning pretty things to keep
“madams” snug and warm, and be
comingly attired.

The 5 o’clock tea given last Thurs
day evening by Miss Mattie Brewer in
honor of Miss Myrtie West, of Mil
ledgeville, was a charming affair at
which were entertained several gneate.
The bouse was tastefully and appro
priately decorated with mistletoe,
holly berries, and wild bamboo, flow
ers and foliage telling of the lovely
surroundings of the pretty home, and
heralding the approach of the holiday
season, After tea a dozen gentlemen
joined the young Zadiea, and curds
were enjoyed for an hour or more.
The prizes of the game were a beauti
ful copy of “Dream Life,” and a silver
letter opener. These were borne off
by Mies Evelyn Reid and Mr. Cczby
Sawtell. Miss Brewer is a charming
young woman of whom Georgia is
proud. She is one of our most popu
lar girls, and very lovely, and never
appeared to belter advantage than on
this occasion when wearing an ex
quisite evening gown of blue taffetas
with a profuse trimming of lace and
pearl parrameuterie. An aigrette in
the hair and an armful o f fragrant
carnations aud delecate emilax com
pleted the dainty costume. Miss West
Is ever an admired visitor in Griffin—
to her regal loveliness, the charms of a
brilliant intellect and a rare, sweet
personality are added. She dresses
exquisitely—on Thursday evening she
was unusually attractive in a gown of
crimson and white satin, with a cor
sage garniture of rich lace—she car
ried a bouquet of Jacqueminot roses.
The charming hostess by her tact and
gracious hospitality made the occa
sion a delight to every guest. A
sumptuous repast was served at mid
night.

THE CAROLINE ISLANDS. ..
Germany is Said to Be Negotiating
For Them.
Paris, Dec. 3—There was no joint
session of the peace commission today.
The Americans had a three hours’
meeting today.
The report that Germany is negotat
ing for the purchase of the Caroline
islands is confirmed from several quar
ters, although Count Von Munster-
Ledenburg, tbe German ambassador
here, informed a correspondent of the
Associated Press that he knew nothing
at all about the matter. The American
commissioners are inclined to believe
the report, and it is looked upon as
explaining the reluctance of the
Spaniards to give the Americans
an answer in regard to tbe Caroline
islands, as well as on the question of
religious liberty there, aud tbe latest
developments confirm tbe report that
the Spaniards have been instructed
not to yield on these pointe until they
have made a good bargain.
1 Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury;
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
smell and completely derange the whole
system when entering it through the mu
cous surfaces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions from rep
utable physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To
ledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous sunaces of the system. In
buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you
get the genuine. It is taken internally,
and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Chen
ey & Co. Testimonials free.
Sold by Druggists, price 75c per bottle.
Hall’s Family Pills are the best.
T. B. Rice, a prominent druggist of
Greensboro, Ga., writes as follows:
“I have handled Dr. Pitts’ Carminative
for eight years, and have never known of
a single instance where it failed to give
perfect satisfaction. Parties who once use
it always make permanent customers, We
sell more of this article than all the other
Carminatives, soothing syrups and colic
drops combined.” For teething children
has no equal.

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 Syrup
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 Syrup 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

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
