.We do not intend the above ns a
oommnnd, but ns answer to the oft re
pe&ted inquiry. Wbat shall we do
about the fennel and weeds that are
usurping the sidewalks? Cutting
them down iB the best thing. On
BOtue of our walks this fennel is get
ting to be a considerable nuisance,
especially to the ladies, to protect
whose attire, requires a broader
walk than a pig trail through fennel
and weeds that are eighteen inches
is height.
Our muchiloved I3ermudah grass,
immediately after a rain, or wbeD
the morning dew is on, is not an a
greeable or pleasant carpet for the
sidewalks of the city, and the fennel
and weeds are worse. Wo trust the
street committee will call the street
brigade into service and lot them
have a battle with the fennel and
weeds that are monopolizing some
sidewalks in the city.

Americus, Ga., May 23.—The
weather to day has lct.u the best in
the world for the tournament and a
large crowd assembled to witness
the occasion. Tbe sun has not
shone much but there has been no
rain. The track is the finest I ever
saw for the purpose. Everything
passed off very pleasantly and Griffin
carries off a prize as usual. Jake
Engle wou 20 dollars easily in the
foot race. .The following i3 the
score of the five companies in the
order run:
Wide-Awakes,of Americus. toping
12J, first test 22 1-5, second test
18 55-100.
Wheatleys, of Americus, to plug
13 46^00, first test 24$, second test
burst.
Protections, of Dawson, to plug
12 93-100. first test burst, second
test 19.
Griffin No. 1, to plug 13 2-5, first
test burst, second test bnrst.
Griffin No. 2, to plug 13. first lest
15, second test 19$.
Americus thus keeps all the money
except twenty-five dollars that goes
to Dawson and the twenty dollars
that Griffin’s best man won. G.
THREE PRETTY GIRLS.
The Fine Walk or One of the Trio Pro¬
voked a Compliment.
Three very pretty girls strolled
past two gentlemen yesterday after
noon and turned into Mangham’s to
get a drink of soda. -The fine walk
of one of the three provoked a com
pliment from one of the gentlemen
wirh the remark ;
“That young woman is an excep
tion—she has learned how to walk.’’
Not quite, replied the other. She
is correct in walking from the bip
down and it is that which yon have
noted as giving her walk an excep
tional grace, but she still moves the
shoulders too much. The shoulders
Bhould take no part in the walk at
all; They should be thrown easily
back and held, not rigid, but quiet,
find the gait at which that trio is walk
ing is to slow. There should be a
steady even movement forward, and
that cannot be attained at that gait.
We give the above as as a pointer
to young ladies who wish to walk
well and gracefully.

Beware the illusory summer that comes

Dr. j. H. F as and wife, nee Miss
Florenc> Stall v, of Savannah, passed
through Griffin yesterday en route to
Columbus, their future home. Mrs.
Bims once resided in Griffin, end was
quite a favorite in our society circles.

mothers, two daughters, one grand

A small rat terrier dog, considerably
mad, occasioned a little excitement on
Hill street yesterday morning. Police
man Doe struck him three times, and
pnt four balls in the back of his head,
when Chief Manley entered upon the
scene, shot him between the eyes, and
the decease ! G av ® up al * hope and

We regret t~ i-nounce the serious ill
ness of R. F. M. Mean, one of Griffin’s
oldest citizens. He fit v been Bick for
two or three weeks past, but was
thought to be improving until Tuesday
when he grew worse. At this writing
he is very low and may not live through
the night, but we sincerely hope the
worst may not come yet.
On Sunday night last some miscreant
threw a rock into the window of Mrs.
M. L. White’s mil'inery establishment
at the Clark comer. This is getting to
be quite an often occurrence, and if a
guilty party could once be arrested and
punished to the extent of the law, we
are inclined to be’ievc such mischief
would decline.
It has been conceded by the housewives
of Griflin that the “President’s Wife” is the

News From Akin ,
Akins, Dist,, May 23.—Now we
have had a plenty of rain for the
present, enough to satisfy all the
grumblers, though our depraved
nature is hard to satisfy. I notice
some men in dry weather they seem
to bo perfectly reckless, they can’t
speak a good word to the old woman,
and as for the servants they must,
keep out of the way, then on the
other hand, when it rains too much to
suit them they are equally as bad if
not worse, such is the depravity of
our nature, and some seem to be
worse than others. We should not
be that way, but should be resigned
to all providential dealings towards
us, knowing that He that controls
the rains and storms, also holds the
issues of Life and Death. Amen to
it.
There is some sickness in this seo
tion. not fatal as yet.
We now have good stands of cot¬
ton. The first chopping will have
to be chopped over, as the seed had
not ail come up. Gorn is small and
hard on account of the dry weather
bnt it will come out of that now with
proper work.
Mr. W. S. Wise has a pair of the
finest colts in this county, of his
own raising, 3 or 4 years old. Mr.
Wise is a model man and his ex
ample should be followed by every
farmer il possible.
Elder J. C. Nichols, of Zebulon,

E. Duke and Sunday night with

with these good people.
Miss Sallie Gardner is said to be
the best marksman, for a lady, in the
Dist., as she shot and killed a hawk
a few days since.
Mr. Gardner has a patch of cotton
that beats anybody’s, it had squares
