WHAT IS LOVE? 1
Pray tell mewbat is love? 1
A thing I
Oi which the birds
And poets sing?
A melody 1
Intangible,
But wondrous sweet
And beautiful? ’
Or is it some rare t
Prize ;
That money buys?
Or is it something vague,
A hint 1
Which finds development i
In print? i
Or is it sacrifice
And shame
Endured
In that dear name?
Or ia it that plain
Sentiment
Which pays the bills
For clothing, foot! and rent?
Or is it heart and soul and mind
Blind
To the world, clear eyed and true
To itself; ready to do
And to suffer; willing to give
Or to take;
Or to die for its own sake?
Or is it psiu and longing,
Eyes wet
With tears
That never can forget?
Or is it—
Fray tell me what is love?
Maybe we will have some sum

more weeks.

GREATER GRIFFIN IS
AN MED FACT.
The High Falls Power is Bound to Make This City
Populous and Prosperous.
We state confidently and with assur
ance this morning that the future
growth and prosperity < f Griffin for a
number of years to come is as certain as
anything can be that has not yet Hap
pened. “Great is Griffin, and the News
and Snn is its prophet,” is a shibboleth
that may be relied now as in the past,
and none need hesitate to believe
Captain Seaton Gnmtland informed
the editor of this paper yesterday morn
ing that the last obstacle in the way of
the great scheme to transfer the splen
did power of High Falls to Griffin for
manufacturing purposes had been re
moved by the successful purchase of a
remaining piece of land necessary to
full control. His engineer tells him that
the work, which will be immediately
begun, can be done in six months time;
that would bring it to pass in Novem
ber, but Captain Grnntlaud makes al
lowances for the usual delays and says
that by early spring of next year we
will have 3,000 to 4,000 horse power of
electricity to liven up the industrial ar
teries of Griffin.
This much power would be sufficient to
run all of Griffin’s present factories; but
it will not be used for that purpose,since
large factories can economically use the
modern equipments for steam power.
The new electric power will therefore
be used to foster new sm ill industries,
which can spring up in a day without
the necessity of installing a steam plant,

Good Advice,
The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from dyspep
sia and liver complaint. More than
seventy-five per cent, of the people in
the United States are afflicted with
these two diseases and their effects;
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habitual costiveness. palpitation of the
heart, heartburn, waterbrash, gnawing
and burning pains at the tongue and
disagreeable taste in the mouth, com
ing up of food after eating, low spirits,
etc. Go to yonr druggist and get a bot
tle of August Flower for 25 or 75 cents.
Two doses will relieve you. Try it.

often the chief and deterring cost of
small manufactory. These small inde
pendent industries will be the making
of the city at the same time that they'
produce the profit for this great under
taking.
The cost of bringing this power to
Griffin will amount to $200,000. Cap
tain Grantland, as the projector and suc
cessful promoter of the Scheme, as well
as the owner of the power to start with,
will retain the majority of the stock
and will have associated with him W. J.

meansjto carry out the project, would
not invest so much money if they were
not certain that it is a good thing, and
see no reason why they should part with
any considerable amount of it if it is to
pay the dividends they' expect.
We have anticipated others in having
considerable to say about this important
matter before, and now all that we have
said is fully substantiated by the above
authorized statement from the

caring more for the industrial de

MRS, B. B, BROWN DEAD,
Was One of Griffin’s Moat Noble and
Respected Ladlba.
Mrs. B. B. Brown passed away
at her home in this city last even
ing at eight o'clock, after an illness
of seven weeks. Her death has cast
a g'oom of sorrow over the entire
oity. She wss a most noble Chris
tian woman, with many lovely
traits of heart and character, and
loved and honored by everybody
who knew her.
Mrs. Brown was thirty five years
of age and was formerly Miss Leola
Brown before her marriage to Mr.
B. B. Brown nine years ago. She
was a daughter of Mr. A. Brown, of
Locust Grove, and leaves besides
her husband, three children, a
brother, Mr. R C. Brown, and a
sister, Mrs. A. G. Combs, both of
Locust Grove, to mourn her irrepir-
Hble loss. The heartfelt sympathy
of the community goes out to the
distressed family in their sad be
reavement.
Mrs. Brown was a devoted and
consistent member of the Methodist
church, having united with it in
early life, and took an active part
in all church work and charitable
affairs.
The funeral will take place from
the First Methodist church tomor

The two men met in Macon yester
day and in discussing their affairs it
appears that a quarrel ensued with
the aforementioned unfortunate result.
