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.

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 great regulator. Price only 25 cents XMAS GAIETIES!

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.
