The meeting was called for the pur

of proper assessments.
Aiderman Patrick made a motion

$250,000 the same being given ih by
the owners as state and county tax.
This motion after some amendments
which were turned down, was unani
mously carried and the factory will

ing resolution to the council and stat
ed a copy of the same had been sent

The city attorney was asked for his
report in the investigation of the law
to force the county commissioners to
work the streets of Griffin with the
county chain gang. He said there
was no law by which the city could
force the county to work her roads.
He gave some figures showing the
amount the city was paying for the
keeping up of roads by the chain
gaug.
After a lengthy discussion the mat
ter was carried over until next meets
ing, after which council adjourned.

A Successful Enterpiise Based on
Merit-
The few remedies which have at
tained to world-wide fame, as tiuly
beneficial in effect and giving satisfac
lion to millions of people everywhere,
are the products of the knowledge of
the most eminent physicians, and pre
sented in the form most acceptable to
the human system by the skill of the
world’s great chemist; and one of the
most, successful examples is the Syrup
of Figs manufactured by the Califor
nia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host of
imitations and cheap substitutes,
Syrup of Figs is permanently beuefi.
cial in its effects, and therefore lives
and promotes good health, while infe
rior preparations are being cast aside
and forgotten. In olden times if a
remedy gave temporary relief to indi
viduals here and there, it was thought
good ; but now-a days a laxative rem
edy must give satisfaction to al). If
you have never used Syrup of Figs,
give it a trial, and you will be pleased
with it, and will recommend it to your
friends or to any who suffer from con
stipation, or from over-feeding, or
from cold, headaches, biliousness, or
other ills resulting from inactive con
dition of the kidneys, liver and bowels
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup of Figs, figs are used, as they
are pleasant to the taste ; but the med
icinal properties ,of the remedy are
obtained from an excellent combina
tion of plants known to be medicinally
laxative and to act most beneficially
As the true and original remedy,
named Syrup of Figs, is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co , only,
a knowledge of that fact will assist in
avoiding the worthless imitations
manufactured by other parties The
Company has selected for years past
the leading publications of the United
States through which to inform the
public of the merits of its remedy, and
among them the Morning Call is
included, as will be seen by teference
to its advertising columns.
An Interesting Case-
“No, you don’t seem to understand
me,” and the man with the big family
on Winder street tapped the palm of
his hand in order to make bis mean
ing plainer, says the Detroit Free
Press. ‘ Did you ever have the oppor
tunity to watch a girl that was truly
in love? That’s what I am trying to
get at. I don’t refer to the girl that
has a half dozen strings to her bow
and is a coquette, but to one that is
genuinely hit and hit for keeps.
“Never mingled with one, hey? I
thought not or there would not be so
much for me to explain. Why, man,
that oldest daughter of mine goes
about in a trance most of the time.
She is perfectly oblivious to her im
mediate surrounding. She’ll hum a
love ditty and light the lamp shade
instead of the lamp. Leave her shut
up in the house and when we come
home every door is an invitation to
burglars to come in and help them
selves. In view of her prospects she
is trying to learn to cook and yet she
will sit down and study vacancy while
the black smoke of the burning dinner
envelops her.
“During those cold nights she would
wake up, calling to me to ask whether
I thought ‘be’ got home safely. Might
he not have been overcome with the
cold and be lying out some place?
Think of that, and him a six-'ooter
and living but two blocks away. I
don’t care if we have a' room full of
company and are talking about the
Klondike, Manila or Samoa, she’ll ring
that fellow in somehow and make
him the chief topic inside of five min
utes II he happens to leave such a
trifle as a lead pencil or a key she’ll
decorate it with a ribbon and keep it.
I tell you, it’s a form of insanity.”

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22, 1899.
LARGE SUPPLY OF GOLD.
Treasury Department Ha? $227,000.-
000 to $23,000,000 in Paper
Washington, Feb. 21—In regard to
the condition existing in many places
in the country, except the far west, in
that the supply of gold in circulation
is very large, while that of paper cur
rency is too small, United States
Treasurer Roberts said today :
‘ There is now in the treasury and
iu the sub-treasuries $227,000 000 in
gold and $2”>.000,000 iu paper. Pains
are being taken to distribute as much
paper as possible among the sub-treat
uries. Applicants for paper iu return
for gold aie informed, however, that
they will ba rtquired to pay bankers’
rates for transportation in such ex
changes. and this informat on seems
to prevent continued calls for paper
money.”
Mr. Roberts balieves that as soon
as the people become accustomed to
using gold coin the demand for paper
will gradually decrease. In bis opin
ion the scarcity of paper money in the
banks is due to the laj;ge volume of
such currency in use outside the
banks tt> meet the demands of in
creasing business among the people,
in other words, it is a sign of good
times.

Missionaries and Filipinos.
A number of very excellent genl’e
men, ministers of the gospel of peace
and brotherly love, have been and are
advocating the retention of the Phil
ippine islands by the United States at
all hazards, in order that missionaries
may be sent among the natives to
Christianize and “eave” them. Some
of them have taken the ground that
God has made this government bis
agent for the spreading of the gospel
in the far ea.it, and that the American
people would bo recreant to the holy
trust and duly if they hesitated to
take up willingly the burden thus in.
tended for them. It is, they claim, a
part of manifest destiny that we should
carry light to the heathen Filipinos,
hence there should be no shirking on
our part.
Speaker Reed is not an expansion
ist. He is not much of a believer in
the “manifest destiny” programme.
He takes no stock iu the suggestion
that we should cany the Bible to the
heathen on the point of a bayonet, or
shoot religion into him with our Krag-
Jorgensens The other day a ’ mani
fest destiny” advocate, one who be
lieves that a ship load of missionaries
should accompany each ship load of
soldiers, or something of that sort, ap
proached the speaker to make an
effort to secure his influence for a
missionaty scheme. “Well, now,”
said the big man from Maine, “I
guess if you are going to send any
missionaries to civilize the Philippines
you had better hurry up. Last week
there were 4,000 more Philippines
traveling about than there are now,
and if Gen. Otis keeps up. his present
work, at the end of six weeks there
won’t be many natives for the missions
aries to civilize.”
Meanwhile, before the arrival of the
missionaries, the work of “benevolent
assimilation,” by the means of bullets
and shells, is going bravely on in the
islands Hereafter there may be less
of resistance to the invading missiona
ries, but they will not hive so much

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few- years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on tbe-market. It is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops.to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood*
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. end for circulars and tes
timonials. Address,

Mother and Son-
There was once a boy in college, and
he was about to graduate. He wrote
back to thejarm to his mother to come.
She replied she could not do so. She
said her clothes were worn, and she
had no money to buy new ones for the
occasion She had already turned the
skirt once, and it was ragged on both
•ides.
The boy asked her to come anyway.
The old woman went, dressed in her
best, which was not stylish The
commencement was in a fashionable
church. The son was prouder of his
mother than all of his honors. He
walked with her down the aisle to the
center of the church and saw her into
one of the beat seats There were
tears in her eyes and she burst out
weeping when her son came out and
delivered the valedictory. The presi
dent pinned a badge on bis coat.
The young man left the s'age and
went directly to his mother He took
off the badge and pinned it to her
dress. There were tears in his eyes,
and then he. bent over and kissed the
wrinkled cheek—Dwight L Moody.

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 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 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
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

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. 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 tic at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dnst de
posit or stn'otr'
When im..„ symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in 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 rui
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.
