THE MORNING CALL. Vol. X. No. 118. SOCIAL SALAD PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR SUNDAY’S CALL. The life of the stage has an ever present interest tor those who know little of it, except what they see through the medium of anopera glass. Like many another thing of this world, the distance of this long range vision, whether taken literally or figuratively, is responsible for the enchantment of the beholder. With few exceptions, those who have a nearer view, looking over the footlights in the opposite di rection, find the gold to be tinsel, the finery tawdry, and the gutter aglare. In speaking of newspaper life, one of New York’s editors said not long ago : “The steps of the newspaper offices are spattered with the brains of young men.” Much the same might be said, with a slight variation, and subtituting “ women" for "men,” of the stage. It is a fiery furnace through which few pass unscathed “A Born Aristocrat,’’ by Matthew White, Jr„ deals with the story of a girl, Barbara Van Dyke, who is suddenly reduced from affluence tc poverty, and who goes upon the stage to support her mother and younger •ister, Freda. The description, iu the opening chapters of the bock, of Bar bara’s unsuccessful efforts to enlist the aid of former friends, is only too true to life, as is her first experience with a theatrical manager. But in the latter she was much more fortunate than the majority of her sisters in real life. To be accepted at the first place of appli cation. is not the experience that falls to rpaoy She begins as a chorus girl, and the story is that of her upward climb upon the theatrical 'adder, until she finally makes success a reality The sweetness and delicacy of her home life is maintained throughout, nod the attachment of the two sisters for each other, makes not a little of the charm and interest of the story, until it ends with Barbara’s retirement and marriage, and Freda’s succession to her part in the play of “The Born Aristocrat,” which gives its name to the book. Os the probability of the story, one must judge for himself, re cording to bis experience and opinion. It is, at least, well worth reading. » • » A charming event, characterized by a spirit of genuine happiness and en joyment, and one at which the beauty, wit and fashion of Griffin were pres ent, was the reception given by Mrs William Boyles last Wednesday after, noon, at her home on South Hill street The home was exquisitely adorned with tropical plants, and graceful, clinging vines.

By local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition ot tbe mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroy ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catanh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheu matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de posit or strong odor. When tbeso srmp’nn « nre prcsrn’, lo time should be lost m removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention The Middle Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.. f:r a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. 1 Parlor Car and Sleeping Car Service Be tween Alanta and Albany, Ga, The Central of Georgia Railway Com pany has inaugurated parlor car and sleeping car service between Atlanta and Albany, Ga., on train leaving Albany 4:15 a. m , arriving Macon 7:40 a. m., Atlanta 11:2*) a. m., and on train leaving Atlanta 4:05 p. m., arriving Macon 7:20 p. m., Al bany 11.-05 p. m.
