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. • * • It is true that it is only at Smith villo that one can get every day chick en pie and scuppernoDg wine for dinner; and Smitbvilio is below America.. Bat doc. ll»t cicacc the boys for carrying off the plates and knives and forks at Ft. Valley, simply because they had to pay one half more for a meal and got noth ing for it f 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 peoplo away from a free show. * * * 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 ing. *• * * 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. x- * * The prominent feature of the week, however, icinains to be mentioned, when a. well known grocer stood on his head in a parlor at an evening en tertuinmei.t for the amusement of the guests.
