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 --» NICE 10 PIECE BANDED CHAMBER SET.

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. The Social Side of Sana? Hide.

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. fw OakTh« POWDER Absolutely Pure. This Powder never varies.
