The person who furnishes items to
a newspaptc is always a valuable
friend to the editor. Many persons
hesitate about sending personal
notes to a newspaper regarding
the movement of friends lest the
newspaper man should think them
too anxious to see their names
print. He will think nothing of
the kind, but on the contrary he is
glad to get such notes. Many seem¬
ingly unimportant items when print¬
ed are news to a large number of
renders. Send any item of news you
may l»e in possession of and it will lie
appreciated.
If some enterprising fellow would
now corner the market on Dr. Bull’s
Cough Syrup he could make his for¬
tune. Beware of frauds.

A SUGGESTION FOR OUR GIRLS
W hat They MightJDo Just Before t h, ‘
Wedding Day.
Here is an example worthy of emu¬
lation by the many young Indies of
Griffin who are looking forward to
that very important event in lit
matrimony. Some of them, doubt,
less will l>e quite thankful for its
wealth of suggestiveness,
Not long ago an Atlanta young
lady was about to be married—she
is married now, may heaven bless
her and keep active the business tact
with which she is endowed.
The following story has leaked out
l>y merchants comparing notes from
time to time:
About two weeks before the time
the wedding was to take place this
young lady visited the various stores
in the city.
At each of the jewelry stores she
called the proprietor aside and told
him of her approaching marriage,
and then said:
“Now, it is very probable that
some of my friends may come in here
and select me a present. It’s horrid
to get something you don’t like, so 1
want you to look out for me, and if
you can satisfy yourself that a pres¬
ent is about to be purchased for me,
induce the purchaser to buy some¬
thing 1 will now select."
The proprietor could see nothing
wrong in granting such a request,
and the young lady selected a num¬
ber of pieces of jewelry which suited
her taste. They were marked and
the clerks notified.
This was repeated at the crockery,
music and book stores.
From all that can bo learned, the
scheme worked well, and on her wed¬
ding night the happy bride had few
presents with which she was not
pleased.
One lap (its mother’s; lor the well
baby bedroom in daytime. About700 night laps of
the floor at for the
happy (?) father unless he has a bot¬
tle of Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup to ease
the little sufferer.
A constipated habit of the body
and all of its pernicious effects are
quickly removed by Laxador, the

PHENOMENAL WEATHER AND
AN EXCEPTIONAL HOLIDAY.

Reception*.
Christmas week in Griffin this year
has been as pleasant as any time in
May. Nor is it alone in this section
that the weather has been so spring
like, being still more phenomenal in
the North. As we write, with a twig
of peach blossoms pinned to our
lapel, the old field plums breaking
into bloom and the birds carolling
beneath the office windows, we would
fain surprise our Northern readers by
telling of a Christmas day spent
picnicking in the woods and a star¬
lit evening watching the sky rocket*
from a swinging hammock; but the
surprise has already been ours in
reading that up on Long Island
the residents were at the same time
picking dandelions and wild flowers.
The past week has been a very
pleasant one in a social way, with
numerous small parties for people of
all ages. There has been the usual
number of dinings and winings in¬
dulged in by select coteries, while a
great many valuable presents hav*
made glad the hearts of the givers,
the receivers and the dealers. The
one central event was trie masquer¬
ade party at the handsome residence
of J. D. Boyd Thursday evening.

The pope's income amounts to £480,000
yearly, exclusive of special gifts like
those of his jubilee year. Peter’s pence
provide two-thirds of the amount, the
remainder being the Interest of various
investments. As the papal expenses
rarely exceed £320,000 his holiness re¬
tains a good annual surplus.
