TOWN TATTLE.
Soiuetliiu? About Everything and Very
Little About Anything.
Tiie Gorman on Thuisday night
revealed more young people than
have been seen together inGriffin for
a loyg time. By young people, of
course, we mean unmarried ones, and
leap yearprivileges ought to be taken
advantages of more than they seem
to be, to reduce the number. And
yet everybody was not there, for
there was quite a large party in an
other part of town, and a number
of society young people who went
to neither. Griffin beats the world
for nice young folks, and they are
the hope of the future.

The grand march with which the
German opened reminded the Town
Tattler of the days when he used to
march in torchlight processions. If
the Chinese lanterns had only had
kerosene to drop over the bearers'
clothes, the figure would have been
perfect and the hind man in the pro
cession more happy.
* * * *
Several littlo misunderstandings
took place at the German, and as
usual there were some spats and ex
hibitions of temper that did not ap
pear to the observer ; but there was
nothing that hurt more than the fol
lowing episode, known only to the
parties and myself:
Oli! where are you going to my pretty maid?
To (lance at a german, sir, she said.
Oh! shall I go with you my pretty maid?
If you are invited, sir, she said.
Oh! what is your father, my pretty maid?
My father’s a banker,sir, she said.
And what is your mother, my pretty maid?
A leader of fashion, kind sir, she said.
Pray what is your fortune, my pretty maid?
A cool haif-a-millien, kind sir, she said.
Oh! then I will marry you, my pretty maid.
I think you’re mistaken, kind sir, she said.

Americus has a vey neat and
charming “Social and Athletic Club,”
the athletic portion consisting at pres
of dancing to the tones of a skilfully
played piano, though they intend
later to secure quarters where they
can have a gymnasium. Their pres
ent rooms are a parlor and dance
hall, and they have dancing once a
week, closing promptly at twelve
o’clock. Americus ’ girls are very
nice and charming, but the prettiest
one I saw there was Miss Davis, of
Albany, a sister of Mrs. D. W. Shaf
fer, of this place. And the freshest
, looking , • and , most . married • ,
piquant .
woman was Mrs. Charlie Foster, form
erly of Griffin. She would hold her
own with any girl.
Speaking of Albany, the discus
s : on that has been going on in the
press recently with regard to its drink
ing habits is very enlightening to
those who have wondered at the ele
gant ch tractor of its bar rooms for
such a small place. It seems that,
according to the Albany News and
Advertiser, Albany used to be such
a great drinking place “before the
wab, sir,” that the crowds passing
from one saloon to another swept the
sidewalks. All this, of course, is over
now, but the Rialto and other places
remain; and so do Chau Jones and
Sherry Lewis.

Nothing was said about the Grif
fin Female College commencement
at the time becauso the proprietor
took commendable pains not to in
form the newspaper, mon that it
was comiug off", hoping thereby,
probably, to prevent a crowd. But
in this ho was away off, as there
was a erowd there every night, and
some that are reported to have be
haved very badly. You can't keep

The great and growing success of
the public schools has somowbat in
terfered with the .prisitino glory of
the Female College, bnt thore were
three graduates: Misses M. Ida
Hall, of Melrose, Fia., uud Edna
Ansley and Rose Cunningham, of
Griffin. Misses Maggie Melor and
Janie Brawner received medals in
music and Gussie Flemister and
Marie Flynt received prizes for
highest standing in their classes.

There are two persons who ought
to have received prizes the past week,
but have no trophies to show for their
deeds. They are Anbur Carson and
Ja ke Engel, who ate each a largo
square of sponge cake at the Ger
man in less time than it took Ros
Drake to cry “water ! ” at the Ameri
cus tournament. By the way, if pie
were introduced in this figure, the
number of contestants would be
larger and the contest more interest

In such a case we believe that
the married man who discovered a
formerly nnknown green star that
i night might enter the arena. The
star was (to him) very large and
startlingly near, and the hue (he
thought) was caused by large beds of
mint growing to fabulous -heights.
The $."30 prize which appertains to
such a discovery would buy lots
of pic—a;,d some mint.
