Mrs. Harrison has probably shock¬
ed the ultra fashionable society of
Washington several times lately.
She insists upon doing* Borne things
which are sensible, but which are not
considered good form by the people
whose lives are regulated by a set of
rules made by nobody knows whom.
The other day, she is reported "to
have walked into the white house
kitchen and washed several dishes
the j
to show servants how she wanted
that kind of work done. It is said
acquainted with the white house
kitchen and that she used to go
there sometimes and cook small
cakes, which she would afterwards
put at her husband’s plate. Nothing
was said about thsm at the table,
but Mr. Cleveland understood very
well where they came from and who
made them, and he not only ate
them, but it is stated that he did so
with evidentenjoyment and without
ssrious results. Mrs. Harrison and
Mrs. Cleveland, as mistresses of the
White House, reflect great credit up¬
on American womanhood. It’s a
pity that the extremely fashionable
women don’t copy after them more.

ing capital has long been badly need¬
ed. Mr. Boyd deserves great credit
for the manner in which lie has car¬
ried this project to a successful
completion and will rank among the
foremost of Griffin’s developers.

Buy a home. Do you expect to be

We are writing to those young

In ten years it will be most diffi¬

a home in Spalding county. Our
lands are fast becoming dearer, and
they are being occupied by small
farmers. Henry Ward Beecher pict¬
ured debt as one of the most fearful
monsters in the Vorid, as a crusher
of human spirit; but he said it was a
laudable thing to go in debt for a

of the country to do it.
