A Cat and Dog Hospital. The room was small, but scrupulously clean. Hanging on the walls were cham¬ pagne baskets that had long ago their purpose, and now held, instead ol bottles of the sparkling wine, quantities of clean straw, upon which, much after the fashion of the bench show, dogs ol all degrees lay sleeping, curled up, ex¬ tended, or were indulging in a sophical reverie of the futility of all doggy ambitions.

But I pay more attention to cats thaj> I do to dogs. Whenever any person who has a cat desires to leave town or when cat becomes ill it is often brought to to be cared for. Cats arc profitable, be¬ cause the best bred of them do not so delicate an appetite as the petted cur, and their recuperative powers are much greater than a dog's.” “Oh goodness, yes; the Toms sick are very quiet and self contained.

Magnificent Clock Presented the Nehns House by the Atlanta Drummers. Yesterday morning Mrs. A. M. Nelms, Mrs. M. If. Smith and Mrs. H.

It was then that Mrs. Smith opened the following letter: Griffin, Ga., Jan, 13, 1888. Mesdamcs Nelms. Smith and Watt, Nelin House, Griffin, Ga.

He Kuowt. Several days ago the News took oceation to mention that the first shipment of cotton made from this point to Liverpool over the Georgia Midland was made by Brooks & Mills. The editor of the Newman Herald aDd Advertiser “kicked 44 up a muss about it and intimated that the News was blowing a lots about a small matter. Editor Speer, of the Henry County Weekly, who knows what he is talkig about, c >pies editor Browtra article and makes tbe following comment: “Yon do not make due allowances, Brother Brown, for first experience of mankind. Do you remember your first pair of boots? your first girl? your first straight flush? and a hundred other ecstatic occasions that would have made a wooden mao wboop? Did nothing of the kind make you hurrah? Then. can 4 t yon let a fellow holler when he has a good thing?

Neither House iu Session Yesterday-- Friday Evening’s Action. Washington. D. C., January 14.— Neither branch of congress was in session today, both houses having yesterday afternoon adjourned to Monday. On Friday afternoon the discus sion of the bill to refund to the sev era! states ihe direct taxes collected from them under the act of 18G1 was continued at some length in the senate. Mr. Riddleberger twice in lerrupted the debate with motions to go into executive se-rim, accord ing to what he said was an agree¬ ment to do so, but both his motions were defeated by a very close parly vote, except that Riddleberger voted with tbe democrats for the motion. Fiually the bill was laidasid*. and the resolution of Senator Brown to abolish the internal revenue taxation was taken up. Mr. Vance address* ed tbo senate in a strong speech in favor of tbo both a repeal of the in ternul icvenue taxes and reduction of the tariff. The latter he character zed as a republican scheme of war taxes, not for the needs of the gov eminent, but for the groed ot tbo protected classes. Senator Blair’s educational bill was next takeu up, and Mr. Gray made a speech against it. The senate adjourned lo Mon day without action on any of these bills. The bouse passed the bill of Mr. Blount, of Georgia, relating to per missible maiks in writingor printing on second, third and fourth class mail matter. Mr. Blount briefly ex plained the provision of measure, which had been recommended by the postmaster general, aud which bad been rendered necessary by the re cent decision of the postoffice depart ment. He did not think that the passage would affect the revenue of the department, while it would un doubtedly extend a groat convenience to business men. After some time spent in the discussion of two private ciairn bills, the house also adjourned to Monday, Are Married People Happy 1 Do you think married people are hap py.

W. Boyd. Yesterday afternoon at ten min utes to tl: ee o‘clock, Mr. J. W, Boyd one of our most respected citizens breathed his last. About two weeks ago he was stricken with paralysis and since lint time his recovery has been very do'ibfa*, although he has been attended by the best physicians and carefully nursed by bis family. At the time of his delta Mr. Boyd was about 50 years of age, having been born in Meriwether county in 1838, In that county he held the position of clerk of the court, for over fourteen years. In 1873 he moved to Griffin and was bookkeeper in the City Na tionai Bank until his bad health forced him to resign. While Mr. Boyd was a quiet and retiring citi zen, he had the reputation of being a firm frier. 1 and his death will be lamented ’>y many. His funeral will take p'ace from the TV i % cH an church this afternoon. Advertised Letters.
