From Thursday’s Daily
WHEN SOCIETY IT NOT IN.
’Twas tlie seventeenth of February,
And the morning after a revel,
When the World and the Flesh made a
party-eall
Accompanied by the Devil.
They rang the bell at Society’s door.
Sent their cards in, and stood waiting;
I'he usual warm reception there
Serenely anticipating.
But the white-capped maid returned
and said
In a voice demurely level,
That her mistress was not at homo
that day
To the World, the Flesh and the Devil.
The World and the Flesh grew pale, as
well
They might do with propriety;
For they’d be in a perilous state with
out
The countenance of Society.
And even the Devil looked half per
plexed,
Till he cried : “Ah, I see the reason I
It is one of Society’s yearly fads;
And this is the Lenten season.”

GOOD WAY TO DO BUSINESS
Brooks Drug Store Sells Reliable
Remedy at Halt Price, and
Guarantees a l ure,
When one can buy gold dollars for
u. r ty 'GutS, It is a good tiru6 to purchase.
In offering a 50 cent bottle of Dr.
Howard’s celebrated specific for the
cure o* constipation and dyspepsia at
25 cents, Brooks Drug Store is giving
one of the greatest trade chanoes ever
offered to the people of Griffin.
Even though offered at half price for
introductory purposes, the specific is
sold under a guarantee to cure or the
money will be refunded.
If food does not digest well, if there
is gas or pain in the stomach, if the
tongue is coated and the breath bad, if
there is constipation and straining, Dr.
Howard’s specific will cure yon. If it
does not, you have Druggist Brooks’
personal guarantee to return your
money.
This remarkable remedy comes in the
form of tiny granules, and can be car
ried in the vest pocket or purse. It is
v ry popular in New York < ity, and it
is not unusual to see someone after a
meal at one of the large hotels or res
taurants take a dose of this specific,
knowing that it will prevent the un
comfortable feeling which frequently
follows a hearty meal.
Dr. Howard’s specific gives quick re
lief and makes permanent cures of
constipation, dypepsia, and all liver
troubles.
These are strong statements, but
Brooks Drug Store is giving their cus
tomers a chance to prove their truth
at just half the regular price—sixty
doses for 25 cents. If they are not found
true, all you have to do is to ask for
your money.

Killing Was an Accident.
Tne account of the killing of John
Stark, which was gathered just be
fore the News and Sun went to
press Tuesday night, while substan
tially correct was neceestrily im
perfect, in t has the evidence of ell
the witnesses could not be gathered
and those who did give details were
too excited to be accurate, The
only suspicions circumstance about
the affair, which otherwise was
clearly a case of accident according
to all the testimony, was the state
ment of the length of time before
the police were called and the other
statement that the body was cold
when carried off. The contusion as
to time was natural in the excited
condition of the man who held the
pistol, while the evidence before the
coroner’s jury was that the body
had not become cold ati vLio time
mentioned.
It is only justice to John Ison to
say that he runs one of the most
orderly bar rooms in town ; while
John Moore, the barkeeper, is a
quiet and inoffensive citizen, who
has never been involved in any dif
ficulty with any one, and who deep
ly regrets the unfortunate occur
rence of Tuesday night, and will
probably take to heart the lesson
whfch many others might learn
with profis before it is too late, that
