THE MORNING CALL.
Vol. X. No. 148.
SOCIALJALAD
PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
THE SUNLIGHT OF LOVE.
The world has been weary and lost to
Love’s art—
There was rain on the hills, but the sun’s
out, sweetheart!
And all the birds singing,
And all the bells ringing,
And roses in desolate pathways are spring
ing.
The world has been wtary; Lu! Io! the
clouds part;
There was rain in life’s skies, but the sun’s
out, sweetheart!
And rainbows are bending
And messages sending
Os God’s love and your love, unending
unending!
The world has been weary, but sorrow
now seems,
In the sunlight of love, like an.echo of
dreams!
Seel see! the clouds part;
All has leaned to Love’s art,
And the sunlight of Love is where you
are, sweetheart!

There are few places so fortunate for
the study of the universal rhythm as
the sea shore Here nature has made
the finest study of learning, counter
point and thorough bass, and the
never resting sea exemplifies the uni*
versa! passion for music It will not
be lulled to seeming culm except by
one of its own soft lullabies; it refuses
to dance in gleeful abandon of tossing
spray without the one chosen accom
paniment, and its wildest charges of
white mounted legions upon the
trembling shore are made to its own
war music, rhythmic thunder, booming
basso of billows, and wild orchestra of
wind and spray. Or are you in a
mood for elfin dances and Lilliput
waltzes and mazuikas? Take a day
when the rollers are coming in lazily,
and as a greater one breaks away up
high on the beach and a lesser follow
ing, quickly elides a plane of green
water under the first, now trying to
return. What a dancing, what a
Babel of tongues, what mimic bicker
ings of bubbles and drops in dispute
as they stop and coruscate into a dia
mond fountain, and then, like fairies
at cock-crow, rush pell mell down
over sand and shale and seaweed to
the arms of the sea! And what so
rhythmical as the calling of the sea?
Some times it is a love tone, with
which it throws a white arm out on
the sand, and with upturned, billowy
bosom cries out for sympathy and
solace; petulant, playful, imperious,
wooing, longing, inconsolable heart of
the se|! Or is it childlike at another
hour, so careless, a mere mint of bub
bles and laughter and smiles, all pure,
all innocent, bright with seeming
changelessness of an immortal youthT
Yet all the while its endless symphony
goes on, and the greater “ninth
waves” come rolling in, giving it a
double rhythm—sweet, majestic, eter
nal.

past month.
Book Review, “Cyranode Bergerac,”

A beautiful entertainment of the
past week was the reception Wednes
day afternoon from three to five
o’clock, at which Mrs. E R. Anthony
welcomed to her home a large numbei
of guests in honor of the members of
the Social Circle. The home, so well
adapted to entertaining, was elabor
ately decorated, the most exquisite
taste pervading every arrangement. In
pleasing contrast to the rich green of
handsome palms and ferns, scattered
about the rooms, were bowls and
vases of Roman hyacinths and carna
tions. The small tables on which the
dainty refreshments were so beautiful
ly served were covered with exquisite
Mexican drawn work and embroidery
and decked with the same sweet flow
era used in th’e adornment of hall and
drawing room. Mrs. Anthony was
becomingly gowned io black taffetas.
The guest of honor, Mrs. Williugham,
of Chattanooga, wore a beautiful gown
of national blue cloth and velvet. The
number of cal'ers were received
by the charming hostess with her
•ccustomed grace and cordiality and
the afternoon was in every particular
a happy one.

Mias Leila Fuller, of Atlanta, who
for several weeks has been the guest
of Mrs. Emily Boyd, returned to her
home Tuesday morning. Miss Fuller

and is greatly admired for her many
personal charms. She is one of the
most popular visitors Griffin has known
this season and numberless pretty at
tectione were shown her.

unusually delightful meeting at the
home of Mrs. Thomas Mills last Wed

ing to the study of “parliamentary
laws”—it was also decided that the
Club sbuld join the “State Federation
of Woman’s Clubs.” Mrs. Babbitt of
Rhode Island, and Mrs. Haile, of At
lanta, were pleasant guests at the last
meeting and each offered some valua’
b'e and exceedingly interesting tug
goslings on the management of the
club. Mrs. Babbitt, who is the guest
of Mrs. A. G. Marlin is a very intellec
tual woman and is being shown a
number of delightful courtesies. Mrs.
Haile is the charming guest of Mrs.
B. R Blakely and possesses a rarely
beautiful personality. Mrs. Haile was

“LEI’ IT BE DRY.’’
Editor Cali.—Until recently it has
not been in good form, in polite circles,
to discuss the weather. But for more
than half a year, atmospheric condi
tions, in Middle Georgia, have been so
anomalous that this previously ostra
cised subject has become invested
with so many elements of the “sub
lime in nature,” as to make it r.ow a
proper subject matter for “heated dis
cussion.” However, a person could
hardly be expected to “warm up” to a
thing 12 degrees below zero. Red-hot
enthusiasm for icebergs might qualify
a writer for attempting arctic frigidity,
but even with this equipment, hie
abortive essay at thawing out the late
spell, would show that he pos
sessed ‘zeal without knowledge”
Therefore, nothing much will be said
about the recent “cold snap”
But passing to another phase of the
subject, your subscriber, with fear and
trepidation, humbly ventures the hope
that the last unprecedented iceness
was a calmination—a c >up d’etat,
coup de grace, a hors du combat or
something that denotes the end of
the disastrous wet season. that
for the last six months has well-nigh
ruined the agricultural interests of
the country. For the destruction to
become complete, requires only a con
tinuance of the same kind of weather
that we have “enjoyed” for the past
two hundred days. In order to avert
impending ruin, we repeat “let it be
dry ” The thought becomes prayer
when we review the chain of disasters
that binds last July to forthcoming
March. We will not count the links
to this chain.
As pessimists do, we will not lift of!
the lid to Pandora’s box just to show
that its contents are evil. Bit the
bad ellects of the rain are like that
celebrated “living epistle, known and
read of by all men.” For last year’s
corn crop was injured one-third ; hay
one-half; peas, almost totally ; and
the cotton crop was rendered unprofi
table. Continuous rains have kept

the farmers idle, and prevented the
sowing of small grain for this year.
For purposes of planting, there will be
•carcity of seeds, potatoes and sugar
cane.
When we add the disastrous result*
from excessive rain during last year
ie similar effects from same cause in
bygone years, we are forced to con
clude that dry years are belter for
farming purposes than wet years.
This conclusion accords also with
the opinion of old and experienced
farmers. Uncle Billy Bianton, in
whom we all confide, says that the
beet crop year be ever knew was a dry
year; that year, he says, was dry even
when the crops were growing, but it
proved famous as a year for large
crop* of corn, wheat, oats and cotton.
Without introducing other and abun
dant testimony and going into further
detail*, we think we can safely decide
that dry years promote prosperity and
that wet years bring adversity. The
adjustment of weather conditions is
the exclusive function of providence;
but the greater question of determin
ing whether it shall be dry a* to the
“innter man” is with the dear people.
May our supplication be in the one
case, and our determination in the
other, find expression in the words of
our first statement : ' Let it be dry.”

THE EXCELLENCE OF STREP 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 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
fornia Fig Htkup 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

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 hail 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.
s. Hp o-.isare pru.cn:, no
time should be lust 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 ru»
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
I discovery of the eminent kidney and blad-
I der specialist, is a positive remedy for
j 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
