GRIFFIN GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4 1888
NEW YEAR’S CALLS.
A BEAUTIFUL EVEM.XU AM) A
HOST OF CALLERS.
Elegant Houses Enveloping a Dazzling
Array of Bean!j—Incidents of
Hie Evening.
New Year’s calls were thrown into
more prominence than uuial this
year by the fact that so far they con
stituted the only large and notable
society event of the season. Having
had no balls or general parties, the
beauty and chivalry of Griffin had al
most begun to rust and the moths
would Bo-in have been in their best
clothes; but the young ladies and
gentlemen awoke for the nonce from
their lethargy and shone with renew
ed splendor on Monday night. Four
bouses threw wide their hospitable
doors, in which were congregated the
quintessence of feminine perfection,
the Griffin girl; the moon beamed
down with soft and almost balmy
light upon the prettiest New Year’s
night ever seen in Griffin, aud
consequently in the world, while car
riages passed to and fro on their way
or deposited their broadclothed
freight in front of wide steps: and
ever and anou the occasion was ens
livened by the sweet strains of Atlun
ta‘s best band or the yell of a half
drunken driver. The tout ensemble
of the occasion was magnifiqae and
the esprit of the menu essentially
recherche.
About the first bouse for most call
ers was the magnificent new residence
of Col. W. E. H. Searcy, on the east
ern suburbs, one of the finest bouses
in the State, which for the first t ; me
opened its wide hall doors for a gon
eral reception. The beautiful rooms,
furnished in the richest and most ele
gant taste, were decorated with ivy
and mistletoe and other winter foli
age, together with hot house flow
ers; a main piece being a lake snr
rounding an island in tbe centre of
the dining table, with a turtle aud a
bateau floating among tbe water lilies
on the surface of the actual water.
The host and hostess received with
their usual grace and urbanity, and
were ably assisted by a charming
bevy consisting of Mrs. John I. Hall,
Mrs. Mary DickensoD, Mm. R, C.
Poe, Misses Effie Dickerson, Fioride
Hall, Mary Hall, Mollie Rogers aud
Helen Rogers. Tbe only fault to be
found with the entertainment here
was that it was too difficult to tear
one’s self away in order to hie to oth
er scenes.
Driving rapidly back, tbe caller
next found himself at tbe pleasant
home of Dr. R. H. Taylor, w here by
tbe side of tbe most delight
ful of hostesses were assembled
Mesdames W. T. Cato, M. D. Mitch
ell and Walter Ellis, and Misses Mat
tie Matthews, Carrie White and jjiueie
Stewait. The bright light of a warm
fire was very pleasant after the ride,
while tbe hot coffee and chocalate
and delicious viands that were served
helped matters along wonderfully.
The hour grew late after a not too
early start, hot nothing less than a
full stop could be made at Major A.
A. Randall’s, where were found Mrs.
Randall, Mrs. M. J. Daniel, Mrs. R.
Hall, Misses Annie Randall, Theo
Burr, Maud Johnson, Emma John
son. Opal Smith, Mary Burr, Louise
Waddell and Miss— Williams*, a bril
liant aggregation shining around the
animating spirit of the occasion, the
beautiful daughter of the house.
Here many of tbe guests expected to
witness a runaway marriage between
two prominent society young people,
but were badly sold to find it only a
pleasant bonx.
Midnight came, but still the ear
riaga whirled the callers to other
scenes, and the preaeut party found
itself at Col. E. W. Hammond’s on
tbe Arlington heights, where were
met Mrs. Hammond, Mrs. M. R.
Brown, Misses Marie Ham
mond. Bealls F. Jennings,
Shatteen Mitchell and Gossie Tram
mell. Of thia house nothing more
appropriate can be said than that, in
the pet phrase of a former Orchard
Hill correspondent, where Mrs.
Hammcmd is “a good time was had
as usnal.” Making her guests hap
py whether in parlor or dining room,
with the presence of sneb assistance
as mentioned, the tasteful decora
tions failed to receive that share of
attention which was their doe,
though the mistletoe was hard[y snf
ficiently conspicuous.
It was getting quite early when
everybody quit calling and retired to
dream of fair faces and fond hopes,
and to get up sleepy the next morn
iug thinking of the foolish things
they had said and done in the
glamour of the previous evening, as
viewed in the cold light of a hard
daytime world.
The gentlemen making calls went
in the following parties:
J. A. Stewart and B. R. Flemister
had two sets of cards: one small one
having tbe picture of esob, the size
of a postage stamp, on the two up
per corners; and a large one with
their names on yellow cardboard
with a knot of salmon ribbon in the
centre.
Albert Cleveland and Wbiteiy Kin
oaid.
B. B. B.own, \V. A. Bates and
Andrew Bates.
Arthur Carson and Joe Ford. No
cards.
W. N. Brown and H. J. Matthews.
Dr. R. Hall. W C. Stafford (of
Bamesville), Goo. B. White and
Robt. T. Daniel.
Emmett King,
Walter Ellis, Dr. R. H. Taylor,
Dr. W. T. Cate and M. D. Mitchell.
J. M. Mills and Frank Flynt.
James Clark and A. S. Murray.
A. B. Clark, (of Atlanta), who
was to have been with Ylex. A. Max
well, but the latter was not able to
come.
W. A. Flemister, who was to have
been with T. P. Jones, but tbe latter
was confined at home by sickness.
F. G. Bailey, T. J. White, J. T.
Stephenson, N. M. Collens, D. J.
Bailey, Jr., and Douglas Glessrier,
of whom T. J. White was absent be
cause of the illness of his mother.
This party was accompanied by a
brass band, and had on tbe foot of
their cards “Music by the band.”

Above all other earthly ills,
I bate the big old fashioned pills,
By slew degrees they downward wend,
And often pause, or upward tend;
With such discomfort are they fraught,
Their good effects amount to naught.
Now, Dr, Pierc prepares a pill
That just exactly fills the bill—
A pellet, rather, that is all—
A Pleasant Purgative, aud small;
Just try them as you feel their need,
You’ll find that I speak truth indeed.
An Alarm of Fire.
About ten o’clock Monday night
the alarm of fire was sounded from
Hill street, and it was soon discover
ed that the clothing lions- cf G. R.
Niles was the point attacked by tbe
flames,
Tbe fire originated from a lamp in
the barber shop underneath, and
burned through tbo floor before it
could be extinguished. The cause
of the fire cannot be determined, but
it is thought it was set afire, Offitir
Doe was tbe first to discover tbe fire
and he deserves especial mention for
bis services.
’Tfe Aul Wind
That brings with it gusts of rain from the
north-east- When the wind blows from that
quarter on a wet day, seated the rheumatic their “ain are apt

There *s ample proof on record particularly of its effica

for its relief at the outset. Chills and fever,
dyspepsia, lack constipation, liver complaint;
and a of tone in the kidneys and fclad

family medicine of botanic origin. Appa

Tbe Morning Dress.
It is Baid that a lady’s standing iu so
ciety can easily be determined by her
dress at the breakfast table; an expen
sive, showy costume indicating that the
wearer has not yet learned the proper
ties. But no one need be afraid of be
ing called “shoddy” if her loveliness is
as apparent by daylight the as at tbe bops.
Perfect beauty is never attendant of
disease; above all, of those diseases pe
culiar to women. Mini which find a ready
cure in Dr. Pierce's “Favorite Pre

Van Hank/, tb» Historian.
When Andrew D. White was a student
in Von Germany be attended the lectures of
Ranke, the historian. In a recent
article Mr. White says of Ranke: “He
had a habit of becoming so absorbed in
his subject as to slip down in his chair,
holding his i* nger up toward tbe ceiling,
and then, with his eyes fastened on the
tip of it, go mumbling through a kind of
rhapsody, which most of my German
fellow students confessed they could not
understand. It was a comical sight—
half :i dozen students crowding around
hi; - jk listening to the professor as
prie might listen to the sibyl on her
trip* . I Up other students being scattered
