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.

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.” Jno. Dickenson. 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 to suffer, even if by com fortable ingle” in a oosy arm chair- A few wineglaasfuils of Hostetter’s Stomach Bit ters—most afford genial them and comforting unspeakable of apecif ios—will relief.

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 scription,” Price reduced to one dol lar.
