Even a paper of pins will give yon some good points. The office of the Headquarters of S. G. Leak’s Collecting and Protective Agency is the neatest and prettiest office in the city. Nothing of importance was transacted at the ceundl meeting on Tuesday night, all matters being either referred or deferred. A petition is being circulated In the city asking Judge Stewart to push the bill mak¬ ing an appropriation for the colored exposi tion in Atlanta next year. The concert given by the Presbyterians at the Female College to-night will be one of the finest ever given by amateur talent in this city...The admission is only twenty five cents, and every one should attend. With the stink of the feather factory in the rear and the heat of an ice cream man- nfactory underneath, the News has personal knowledge that the manufacturing interests of, Griffin are booming right along. We have had our front yard (better known as the Methodist church yard) mowed and nioely raked off. As soon as we get a little more time we intend to have the rocks pick¬ ed out of the grass, and a curbing put on each side of the walk, and otherwise fixed up in a little more style. In mentioning the attractions of its city for the Fourth of July, the Columbus Ledger says: “The Oolsmbns gun club is betng reorganized and on the Fourth a grand contest will take place between the clubs of Columbus, Griffin, Seale, and per¬ haps other places.” The Official Fruitgrowers Organ. As will be seen by reference to the pro¬ ceedings in another column, the News has been made the official organ of the Middle Georgia Horticultural Society, and will hereafter be furnished in full the proceed¬ ings of each meeting. This is an unsolicited compliment that is highly appreciated. The Nbws has always done all that lay in its power to promote the horticultural inter¬ ests of Middle Georgia, which it believes to be one of the finest fruit growing sections in the United States; and with such recog¬ nition of tts character aud services by those most directly interested, its interest and its efforts will not be allowed to flag. The So¬ ciety is in a flourishing condition, with large aud increasing membership; and its intelligent discussions can not fail to prove of great value to the large number of our readers who are more or less engaged in fruit culture. The proceedings of Tuesday’s meeting will be found especially interesting. Dots From Drewryville. Deewkvvilae, Ga., June 13.—Everybody is wearing a pleasant smile over the beanti- ful rains, aud the crop prospects, which are better than common this year in this cem- munity. R. A. Hardee,our well known tax receiver, aud Maj. Coilens, of Griffin, spent last Fri¬ day at this place. Bob and Major are full of fun, and we are glad to have them with us at any time. Bab says Major is a candi¬ date and believes he could drum better for anybody else than for himself. Major is a No. 1 candidate and the way he can talk pol itics is a sight. F. H. Drewry is spending a few day6 in Senoia, attending the Excelsior High School exhibition Rumor says that there will be a wedding in this community soon, as some young man has ordered him a bread tray by a certain day. There will be singing at the Baptist church of this place on Sunday evening next by F, II. Woods. All are invited to come and bring their song books, L. C, C. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself and superior to all other preparations in strength, eoonomy, and medicinal merft. (3 ROVER RATTLINGS. Booming the Crops and the ent Officials- Rover, Ga., Jnne 13.— Everything is calm and serene ont this way and happy. Crops are looking fine and well. Borne of os are plowing oar corn time, and eotton is now getting its plowing and hoeing, and is in fine and if Old Master will Just shower on now and then, we hope to make a crop both. Blackberry rolls, pies and dumplings with good sance Is the leader of the day now, such times as we do have, to be sure! We are sorry to say that our neighbor, Mr. Joel Ayeock, la still quite sick.

Brad Weatherly, one of our leading mer. chants, went down below here apiece San- day on Important business. But Brad can’t fool us; we arc too sharp for him if be does play off a little. We expect to have a big time the 8unday in July—all day singing at Provi¬ dence Church. Some of the best singers in the county will b» he-e.

Singing will commence at 9:30 a. m., and don’t forget the basket! I think that most of us have settled down on ourpolitlcs this year in these parts, so that it does not bother ns much, as we think that the men that now hold offices from the highest to the lowest will again hold the lines for another term, being as they have done so well thia term; and furthermore I don’t think we c>.

Griffin, Ga., June 13,1888. Editor N«ws: —I see in today’s issue of the News, an article copied from Ma con Telegraph headed -‘Deputy shals Reprimanded." In justice to Dep nty Marshal Pope and myself, I ask the privilege to make a plain, fair and partial statement. I did' not intend reply to the article in the Telegraph, the U. S. Commissioner knew the in the case and it was unnecessary. About three hundred yards in rear Mr. Newt. Woodward’s residence in county of Butts, and in close to the residence of the two one of whom was arrested conveying still and cap from near’this illicit ery to Mr. Newt Woodward’s on route—at this place, where they been distilling whisky, there was two hundred and fifty gallons of which Deputy Pope and myself had watching almost continuously for days to catch tho parties running still. On Friday night last Pope and myself left Griffin abont o’clock and reached the vicinity of Woodwards about one o’clock. In ing the residence of Newt the smell of beer was prevalent the air, and I was satisfied they moved the beer from whore we had located it to the place of which was traced from the old place distilling to the smoke house of Woodward, inside of which house was found removed from the old place three hundred gallons of beer and furnace newly built. And the Telegraph article says young men charged with the offense law abiding citizens.” Here are facts: Mr. Ben Gray, one of the who was arrested with this still, is under suspended sentence for illicit tilling. The yonng Woodward may all right, bnt eras caught in bad ny. Mr. Pope and myself did only we deemed onr duty. And there iurther facts connected with the which I prefer not to give at ent, which will convince every one their guilt. According to the U. S. law a Marshal cannot sue ont a warrant, the r ?ason we were not accompanied the proper officer to swear out the rants was because of business that nat be delayed at home. I am that this will prove to my people I not to be censured. John A. Cherry. Orchard Hill Notes, Orcharn, Hill, Ga., June Clarmount MillB, owned by Col. J. Cunningham, came vary near burned to the ground on last Thursday, caused by sparks from the engine, Onr farmers are very busy at work. The recent rains have made Green put in a full force and it will lively work to keep him down. are looking very promising and we truly say that the ayerage farmer is mg happy, We dan almost see him now palling np his biggest stalk and ing it to town to show it to his friend and the newspaper reporter; and here it goes all over the werld that the Sooth is going to make the largest yield ofjeotton ever known, and then when the hat vest is come yon can hear him say, ‘- Well, Bomebow I fell short this year,” but he can never show why lie fell short. But the fact of tho whole matter ia the farmer’* imagination ran too high iu the summer and he Bought too much on credit. Geo. C. Mason, of the C. Kit., spent Sunday with his mother, Mrs. E. L. Mason. Paul PftiUe, Jr., aud T. K. Thrash, of Griffin, spent yea’erday at the hill on business. Rev. Mr. Wilson, of Milner, preach ed at the Methodist church on Sunday. Sunday school in the afternoon, lesson in music by Prof. Gcddard. We are likely to have an interesting singing school this summer. The Farmers Alliance met here on Saturday. We think the farmers allow anced enough without clubbing togeth er to get somebody to say what he shall do,Ac. I consider it unnecessary to refer to the allusion “Roxy” made in regard to me. Some farmers sheuld pay what they already owe and then, bat not till then, will reformation on their part be in order. I will be more explicit in my next, if necessity demands, Judoe. Advice to Mothers. M.s. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup far children teething, is the prescription of one of the best female nurses and Jcians in the United States, and been used for forty years with never failing sneoess by millions of mothars for their children.

What It Take* to Satisfy tho Appetite* of Ocean Steamship Passenger*. “There came in over that gangplank last year, ” said the steward of one of the popular big transatlantic steamships the other _ her da; day, “4,050 sheep, 2,474 oxen,l,800 Umha, 4,280 ducks, 2,200 turkeys. 2,000 geese and a good many hundred calves, quail, chicken and grouse.” with them—throw “What did you do them overboard?” “Ate’em,” was the reply. “My lan- vinced. I tell you people who ‘go down to the sea in ships, ’ or those of them at least who travel by the big transatlantic liners, accept with complacency and as a matter of course the refinements, con¬ veniences and luxuries found on board from day to day, and fail to grasp, in most cases, the extent of the advance which has been maria in the last twenty- five years in catering to their wants, as well as overlook the intricate machinery which is required to be constantly and quietly in motion ior the maintenance of order and regularity. They have little idea of the vastness and variety of the stores necessary for the ship herself and her crew, -and also of that more varied and quite as astonishingly big supply of fish, flesh, fowl, vegetables, fruit and liquor, now considered indispensable ship for the crowd of passengers the good carries, whose insatiable sea appetites are at once the tourists’ joy ana the stew¬ ard’s despair. sad of slaughtered “That procession did not really animals I pictured to you, come aboard in the flesh—that is to say —I mean—alive, nor all at once, but we consumed here over 2,000,000 pounds of meat in the last twelve months, which represents, as you will see by looking at 1 these columns, the number of carcasses mentioned. Meat is the chief item, of course, but man does not live by meat alone, and last year our passengers ate a ton of mustard, three-quarters of a ton of pepper, 7,814 bottles of pickles, about 600 tons of flour, about 900 tons of pota¬ toes, more than 60,000 loaves erf bread and twenty tons of biscuits. “These are the necessaries of life, now for the luxuries—they make a pretty good Bhowing, too. Look here: 6,000 jars jams of all kinds, a dozen tons of marmalade—the bitter taste of marma¬ lade is never so well appreciated as on recovery from seasickness—twenty tons raisins, currants, figs, dates, etc.; thou¬ sands of crates of grapes, and peaches, fresh ap¬ ples, oranges, bananas other fruits. That’s a pretty good list of solids, Isn’t it? Everybody eats, of course, while everybody doesn’t drink or smoke, yet the drinkers keep up their end of ths balance sheet fairly well. See this: “In one year they drank 15,000 quarts of champagne, the same of claret and other light wines, 175,000 bottles min¬ and eral waters, 35,000 bottles of spirits, the thumping total of half a million bot¬ tles of ale, beer and porter. While all this is going down, 75,000 cigars and 50,000 cigarettes are going up, besides what the gentlemen bring with them. We also consume about 75,000 pounds of chewing tobacco, of which the crew and the steerage use the greater part Then here is 21,000 pounds tea, and condensed 75,000 pounds coffee, with no end of milk and almost 800,000 pounds of sugar to sweeten it Fresh fish in shoals, sar¬ dines in banks, and more than three- quarters of a million of eggs, cooked in every conceivable style, round the list out in a satisfactory manner and give you some idea of the duties and responsibili¬ ties of the head steward of a ship like this.”—New York Tribune. Hard Road to Travel. On the road from Jerusalem to Jericho the Dead Sea and Jordan, the almost for¬ gotten song, “Jordan is a Hard Roe.d to Travel,” was recalled and sung with a heartiness born of the realization that we were traversing one of the worst roads of a country possessing the worst roads in the world. It was indeed a hard road, but we reached its end.—Cor. Detroit Free Press._ Not Likely to Get Away. Father—Young Sampson has been de¬ voted to you for two or three years, hasn’t he? Daughter—Yes, papa. Father—Isn’t he very slow about pro¬ posing? Daughter—Yes, George is a little slow, but (confidently) I think he is sure.— Harper's Bazar. People Drinking Soda Water. Did yon ever stand behind a soda counter and watch a lot of people drink¬ ing? They one and all seem to aim their no6ee at you through the glasses, and as thev try to get the last drop of foam from tbe'bottom of the tumbers, I have noticed this curious fact: not one nose in a hun¬ dred is straight with the rest of the face. It either points over my left or over my right shoulder every time. Some noses even seem as if they were trying to get eut of the glass altogether—looking around for beer, I always imagine.— Drug Clerk in Globe-Democrat. Gathering the Vanilla liean. The vanilla bean is the costliest bean on earth. It flourishes in Mexico, chiefly in Papantla and Misantla. It grows wild, and is gathered and ..marketed by the natives. Just as they come from the forests the beans sell at $10 or $12 per 1.000. After the beans are dried and cured they are worth from $7 to $12 per pound, according to quality. Last exported year the vicinity of Papantla alone by 60.000. 000 beans. They are used druggists and confectioners, and are an important article of commerce.—Frank Leslie’s. ____ Anglo-American Weddings. It is very odd how ready the English¬ men are to exchange their titles for the dollars of American heiresses, and how slow the American gilded youths are to covet the hands of English noble¬ women. The number of American women wedded on the other side can be reckoned only in four figures, while here in New York I do not know of a dozen native men of wealth who have foreign wives.—Brooklyn Eagle. --- In Modern Jerusalem. In modem Jerusalem, as in every other town under Turkish jurisdiction, Constantinople itself being a conspicuous example, are seen filthy, almost impassa¬ ble streets, houses bespeaking poverty of the most squalid nature, faces giving un¬ mistakable evidence of intense ignor¬ ance; all these impress the stranger as more certain signs of Mohammedan rule than the Star and Crescent. —Cor.
