Oovmgton Star: "Hon. John D.
Stewart, our representative in congress
has introduced a bill in that body pro
vidiug for the appontment of revenue
commissioners iu every county, forbid
ding arrests by the deputy marshals
without warrants, and providing a penal
ty for illegal arrests and illegal seizures.
This bill should become a law because
it is a good one.”
We are always glad to hear of the sue
cess of any of our Griffin boys. Not long
since the Savannah papers announced
the fact that F. IX Bloodworth, who
was reared and educated in Griffin
had been elected vice president of tbe
Board of Trade in Savannah and now
comes tho additional news by the Sav
annah paper that Mr. Bio dworth has
been elected one of the directors of the
Merchants National Bank of Savannah.
Wo publish these facts as a stimulant
to young me of our place to induce them
to more energetic exertion to climb the
lndder of fame.
*1 never in my life,” says John Wan
amaker,|of Philadelphia, “used such a
thing as a poster, a dodger, or hand bill
My plan for fifteen years has been to
buy so much space iu a newspaper aud
fill it up with what I wanted. I would
not give an advertisement iu a news
paper of 400 circulation for 5,000 dod
gers or posters. If I wanted to sell
cheap jewelery or run a lottery scheme
I might use posters, but I wouldn’t in
suit a decent reading public with a hand
bill.’’
The Chautaqua Circle held its last
meeting nt Dr. T. J. Collier’s on M

Circle, Longfellow stood at the head ef
our poets, while E. P. Roe as a uovel
ist found most admiration. The origin
al contribution consisted of a paper on
Aaron Burr by Mr, F. G. Bailey, and
another ou American colleges and uni
versifies by Mis. T. J. Collier. Ihe
next meeting of the Circle will be held
Mouday evening, Jan. 30th, and an ex

Spinsters’ Insurance Company.
There is a Spinsters’ Insurance com¬
pany in Schleswig which gives shelter,
board and pin money to the single lady
members of well to do families. At the
birth of a girl the father enters the girl’s
name in the books of the company and
pays a certain sum every year. If, when
liis daughter reaches her twenty-fourth
year, she is still unmarried, she is entitled
to a certain incotno and a couple of fur¬
nished rooms in a house belonging to the
company. The house is a handsome one,
with a tine garden attached to it. If the
father dies before his daughter attains
her twenty-fourth year the girl enjoys
the same privileges. In case she dies or
marries all her rights are forfeited, and
the money paid in reverts to the com¬
pany. These chances enable the com¬
pany to make the provision named, while
parents have the satisfaction of knowing
the future of their daughters to lie se¬
cured in case of the death of their natural
providers. — New York Tribune.
