BAD SMELLS!
That ie What Everybody Is Complaio-
„tag About,
% -— i
The complaints about bad smells
continue to become loader, but they
cannot keep up with the smells in
londnsss. <•* -
Almost wherever yon go, in the
heart of the city, there is a stink
arises, and the citiiens are kicking
up a stink about it.
The offences of Griffin’s lack of
sanitation and cleanliness smell to
heaven, and at last there is a pros¬
pect that the stench will reach the
nostrils of those high Olympian
gods who control the affaire of this
municipality, the aldermen. It fe
raid bya member of the council that
enough members have been pledged
to secure an increase in the number
of the street hands for a short Mine,
despite the protests of any economi¬
cal gentlemen who would face an epi¬
demic rather 1 than see a few extra
dollars drawn out of the city treas¬
ury.
But what good will an increased
street force do, if they are kept in
the cemetery of the dead, instead of
cleaning up the streets Of the living?
Lei us rather try to avert a. fever,
than to prepare places at this time
for its expected victims. /
Why is the ordinance against
throwing defunct fruit and moribund
watermelon rinds into the street,
not enforced?
Why don’t—phew 1 let us get out
upon the suburban hills and breathe
some of the pure air for which Griffin
was once noted. The subject is too
much for us, •

TO TALK ON TEMPERANCE.
The Reformed Charleston Journalist
* to Lecture In Grinin.
Henry Durand Howren, the Charles¬
ton journalist, who, from being
cop firmed drunkard, has become
during the past three months a no¬
ted temperance lecturer, will deliver
two addresses in Macon today and
return here tomorrow, to deliver two
addresses here at the Methodist
church, tomorrow night and Tues¬
day night. He takes two lectures
to complete his topic, because he
does uot wish to tire any one by
speaking too long in one night. He
is an easy and fluent talker, and
will be well worth listening to, ns he
has an interesting story to tell.
Mr. Howren paid the News and
Sun office a very pleasant call on
Friday night, at winch time he was
to have lectured here, but concluded
to postpone it. He is a slightyoung
man, of about thirty, with a pleas¬
ant address. He lectured in Rome
just before the close of the prohibi¬
tion contest, but is not wedded es¬
pecially to prohibition, believing
rather in religion and morality and
social and other influences to control
men’s appetites. He was an utter
wreck, acting as city editor of the
Charleston Sun at the time of Daw¬
son’s death, wlmt time he was not
drunk, and was shortly thereafter
completely reformed by a conversion
to religion. Since then he has con¬
sidered it his mission to preach to
others the way that he has found for
himself and has gained great repu¬
tation by the immediate and contin
ued success of bis efforts. His cause
isone in which everyone in Griffin is
interested, and we bespeak for him a
good attendance tomorrow night.
Exactly Right.
The Montezuma Record has th*
pluck to say the following, in which
we agree with it: The Piedmont
exposition managers have already
commenced asking the country pa¬
pers to insert half columns of free
“adv.” Now, look her* brother edi¬
tors, if you allow the Piedmont ex¬
position and state fair to beat you

necessary for t ie feeding and clothing
of the body are cut off and applied
to the payment of debts then you will
grow in favor with God, and not
until then does God excuse you.
Repentance on this point must be
of a Godly Bort that needed not to
be repented ot Reader, were you
Berry that you had not paid your
debts when you made a profession of
religion? If yon were not, that is
just why h.Te not got n debt
paying religion. Tnie repentance
has a retroactive as well as a pros¬
pective effect on the life of the believ-
er—he will, as far as possible, make
good his past wrong. Many new
converts sing, “Jesus paid it all,
all to him I owe.” No such thing.
Jesus did not pay it all, neither do
you owe it all te Him. If, the week
before you were converted, you owed
your neighbor $10, you owe that
neighbor $10 yet. If you don’t pay
that debt it will meet you at the
judgment as sure as you areasinner.
It is mean in you to expect Jesus to
pay debts for you that you can pay
yourself. If you have a Christian
heart in you, think how much Jesus
paid for you that you never could
have met at God’s bar of inflexible
justice. Some people think the
cleansing stream of Jesus’s blood
washed Sinai away and deluged the
law—no such thing. Jesus came
to destroy, but to fulfill. Jesus
everywhere enforces the
ments as the rule of life.
Then let the whole church pray
a revival of debt-paying religion.
In everrevival let prayer be made
the new converts may have grace to
pay up “old debts” and not
new ones without a good
for paying them. Let the
enforce this duty publicly and
vately (with diserection) and
good can be accomplished.
preachers would look after this mat
ter of debt-paying among their
gregation, their own debt might
more promptly paid—chickens come
home to roost, but preachers need
be more careful, prayful and payfuj
along this line. Th# great
of the time is confidence among the
people. Let the church command and
demand the membership to live up
to their promises and contracts, and
soon the present financial darkness
will give away to a brighter morn
of prosperity in all business circles.
Keep the amen corner and front seats
clear of men who do not pay their
debts (th* pulpit too,) and the word
preached will reach sinners. May
God give increase to these words
which are written for the promotion
of His kingdom in the practical deal¬
ing of men with men.

Prisoner* Kscnpn.
Jackson New*.
Two negro prisoners essaped from,
the county jail at this place, on last
Thursday evening by picking the
lock# on the prison door with a pair
of rusty scissors.
Th# prisoners, numbering four,
were all confined in the front cell of
the jail, where a plan of escape was
devised with the above results.
The escaped birds are known as
Will Price, who was in jail awaiting
trial at the September term of Butts
Superior court on the charge of as-
B&ult with intent to murder, and
Mallet Duke, who was under a six
months sentence in the chain gang
for stealing a small sum of money
from Mr. F. H. Weaver, some time
ago.
Two other prisoners, Greer, a ne¬
gro, and Claude Hammond, a white
man, were confined in jail at the
time of delivery, but they made no
effort to escape. Hammond came
out and looked up the marshal and
informed him of the flight of the
birds, but it was too late, they had
flown to parts unknown.
