painful nick now to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such a re¬
markable event is treasured in the memory
and the ageuev whereby the good health has
been attained is gratefully blessed. Hence
it is that so much is heard In praisetif Elec¬

toration to health, to the use of the Great
Alterative and Tonic. If you arc troubled
with any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stom¬

find relief by use of Electri ’itters. Sold at

A SUGGESTION FOR OUR GIRLS
W hat They MlghtJDo Just Before t he
Wedding Day.
Here is an example worthy of emu¬
lation by the many young ladies of
Grilfin who are looking forward to
that very important event in life-
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
by 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 I
want you to look out for me, and if
you can satisfy yourself that a pres¬
ent is about to be purehaseddor me,
induce the purchaser to buy some¬
thing 1 will now select."
The proprietor could SE'e nothing
wrong in granting such a request,
nud the young lady selected a num¬
ber of pieces of jewelry which suited
her taste. They were marked anil
the clerks notified.
This M as repeated at the crockery,
music and book stores.
From all that can be learned, the
scheme worked well, and on her wed¬
ding night the happy bride had few
presents with which she was not
pleased.

Reception*.

w
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 lias 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 M inings in¬
dulged in by select coteries, while ft
great many valuable presents hav*
made glad the hearts of the givers,
the receivers and the dealers. The
one central event was tne masquer¬
ade party at the handsome residence
of J. D. Boyd Thursday evening.
Although less lively to some than il
dancing had beenindulged in,as orig¬
inally contemplated, it was possi¬
bly more pleasant to those who can
not dance. The characters repre¬
sented were as follows:

those of his jubilee year. Peter's pence
provide two-thirds of the amount, the
remainder being the interest of various

rarely exceed £820,000 his holiness re¬
tains a good annual surplus.

A false Messiah has lately appeared in
Arabia, and multitudes of Jews are fol¬

wise and prudent of the Jews of northern
