Editor News —As one who has
always been an admirer of theNKws
under your able and Southern born
predecessors, I have often regretted
to observe the course that you have
almost uniformly pursued since ob¬
taining control of that formerly patri
otic paper. While you have doubt
less conducted its editorial columns
as best you knew how and have ob¬
tained some approval from the fickle
and time serving that always exists
in any community, yet there have
be«E,HUMty things mmA (hat have
been a source of regret to the more
conservative and thoughtful element
of a community in which you must
still acknowledge yourself to be some
what a stranger. With the rude
spirit which you doubtless call practi
cal business sense in the North,
where little true seatiment can find
an abiding place, you have proposed
and advocated innovations and Van¬
dalisms that are truly painful to the
old inhabitants of the community,
however much they may hare con¬
cealed ‘heir feelings in the matter
from a sense f courtesy.
But t iu.t enou^l'* I do not in
u-ud to reproach you , general
terms for deeds that you - knew no
better than lo do—nor, : ndeed, do I
intend to reproach you at all, because
wbat ever yuur intentions, you have
been powerless except in nonessen
tials and and there can therefore be
no cause for quarrel. But if it were
not for the firmness that possesses
those thoroughly representative citi¬
zens who have been elected as our
city fathers, there is no telling what
damage you might do to the beautv
of our city under your mistaken
Northern ideas. Need I say that I
allude to the sneering and threaten¬
ing articles that have recently ap
peared in the News in regard to the
star eyed beauties that lift their
faces to heaven and with white petals
and pure golden hearts, turn toward
the sky and the sun on every street,
forming the one ornament that with
a million hi nds appeals to the pas
sionate imagination of every ci.izen
and the throbbing admiration of the
stranger within our gates? This
flower, growing with the wild
profusion and artistic grace of na¬
ture unadorned and known as the
Mayflower or May Weal (weed be
ing simply the utilitarium name for
the untutored graces of nature which
are most abundant in some places
though rarely prized in others) is one
of the lew remaining ornaments by
which the citizen of Griffin proudly
distinguishes bis place from all
others. And this is what you cal!
“Dog Fennel” and seek to destroy
by giving it a bad name! This is
truly giving a “dog a bad name” that

Mayflower to the ox-eye daisies. Of
oar streets as they now stand, the
might have written the lines:
“Clear and simple In white and gold,
Meadow blossoms, of sunlit spaces,—
The field is full as it well can hold
And white with the drift of the ox eye
daisies!”
But, thank heaven! there are those
who know better and appreciate
more the traditional beauties of Grif
fin. Born and nurtured amid the
perfume and ennobling beau
of these daisies, we are happy
proud that our noble City
Fathers have passad yonr diatribes
by with silent contempt and refused
to destroy the crowning beauty of
It is true, as you have
that it would have cost little to
down these simple and trusting
of nature, and to have thus
kept them from appearing again.
But with that true economy for
which they are noted and with that
beautiful sentiment of conservatism
which upholds the time honored in
ef the South, they have
sternly refused to pursue such a
policy of vandalism, and may their
reward be to find their wilderness
of garden blooming with “Dog Fen
nel” from which they may call sweet
scented bouquets every morning.
Long may the heredity and chosen
flower of Griffin wave over its com
mons, and long life to its noble de
fenders and preserve, the City
Fathers! D. F.

A.HELIE AT THE ALTAR*
The Marriage ef Miss Amelle Riven te a
Millionaire Masher.
Charlottesville, Va., June 15.—
Miss Amolic Rives, the authoress,
was married last evening to Mr.
John Armstrong Chandler, of New
York, a very wealthy young man and
grandson of John Jacob Aslor.
The marriage was sudden, as It
was thought to be a next fall affair,
but the newspaper sensations deci¬
ded the young couple in favor of an
immediate and private wedding.
Even the clerk who sold tho license
was pledged to secrecy, bat the news
got out, and this community was on,
the qui vive. The r- :riage oere-
raony took place at (' Hill, near
Charlottesville, and .> Ay .other
persons present were Mrs. Rivet,
Amelie’s mother; Misses Gertrude
and Daisy, her sisters; Mr. Wm.
Cabell Rives,^of Boston, an uncle
who gave the bride away In the ab¬
sence of Col. Rives, who is now in
Panama. Some near friend# and rel¬
atives from Richmond were also pres¬
ent, and the service was performed
by Rev. Mr. Goodyear, rector of the
little Chapel near by. The wedding
ring was used in the ceremony.
1 The bride’s gown was white silk,
cut high in the neck with long
sleeves. She wore diamond ornav
rnents. The sisters also wore white
and the mother was attired in blade.
The young married couple will
spend their honeymoon beneath the
bride’s ancestral roof. This is a spot
to which the little lady clinga with
the tenderest affection. After re¬
maining there a few weeks Mr. and
Mrs. Chandler will probably fail for
Paris, where they will make their
future home.
