About Women's Clubs.
Barnesville has several organizations
among the women and all of them
have done good. They have pros
pered and have been a source of
great pleasure and help to the women
of the city. In the last issue of the
Ladies’ Home Journal, of Philadel
phia, that excellent journal, Editor
Edward Bok has the following perti
nent remarks on the subject, which
should be carefully considerd:
‘•That many of the womens' clubs
in America are doing valuable work
in many directions admits of no
doubt. And so long as a woman's
club keeps within its sphere—that of
the social, mental and educational
improvement of the sex and the chil
dren—and does not extend and take
up political questions and go into a
maelstrom of purely municipal mat
ters, the conduct of which it is not
given women to rightly understand,
and in which they can do no good,
but, on the contrary, effect much
harm, serves a purpose high and
mighty. There is no question at all
of the benefits which a woman derives
front getting out of the atmosphere of
the routine of domestic machinery,
once a week or once a fortnight, ac
cording as she is able to spare the
necessary time, and coming into the
different surroundings of a number cf
other women at the meeting of a sen
sible and well-conducted literary, so
cial or educational club. Womens’
clubs, like the clubs for men, are use
ful institutions, so long as they are
considered as a means towards an
end, and that end be social or men
tal improvement. But when they are
taken in the light of an end in them
selves, then they become an evil
which should be corrected. For a
woman to make her club the all ab
sorbing element in her life is wrong.
But used a well-directed means to
ward her own development, her own
exhilaration, to the companionship of
the sexes and not their further sypar
ation, the woman’s club is commend
able.’’
INTERESTING TO THOSE WHO
CONTK M PLATK MAT RI
MONY.
A wedding invitation of all the
things demanded by society should be
correct in form and of fine stationery.
It is better not to issue any invitations
at all than to send out something that
is unfashionable or of poor material.
If you wish to get absolutely the cor
rect thing consult Messrs. J. P Stev
ens & Bro., the fashionable engravers
of 9 W. Alabama St., Atlanta, Ga.
They keep up with the latest styles
as fast as they are adopted by the elite
of London or New York.
Kallroad Items.
The following two items were in
the Telegraph Tuesday, relating to
Central railroad matters:
“The earnings of the Central of
Georgia railroad during the second
week in August were $87,596, against
$86,563 during the same week last
yeat. The total earnings from Janu
ary 1, IS9B, to the end of the second
week in August, were $3,078,763,
against $2,912,510 during the same
period in 1897.”
“The Central railroad has made
several changes among its conductors
on the mainstem division, several of
the old ones going out and new ones
taking their places. The explanation
given is that the road simply desired
to make the changes for good rea
Aws."

consumption was given up to die,

“Blind Tom” As He Is To-day.
“The name Thomas Wiggins means
nothing to the majority of readers,”
writes John J. a’ Becket in the Sep
tember Ladies' Home Journal. “But
Thomas Wiggins is ‘Blind Tom,’ a
name familiar to hundreds of thou
sands in this country and abroad who
have heard the piano played by this
wonderful negro. The impression
that he is dead is a pretty general
one. Asa matter of fact, Blind Tom
has never been ill a day in his life.
On the banks of the Shrewsbury river
in a domain of over two hundred
acres of woodland, stands a pictur
esque two and-a-half-story wooden
house with a broad veranda. Here
Blind Tom is at home.
“His hands are not at all ‘piano
hands.’ In place of the slender, long
fingered hands which one so often
sees in great pianists, Tom’s hands
are small and plump, with the thumbs
and tapering fingers quite short.
“The strongest impression I bore
away was that of the sweet, content
ed life the poor, blind negro is leading.
There was pathos in it. I had ex
pected to find a wonder at the piano,
and I did, for his untaught mastery
of the instrument is marvelous. From
time when the Bethune family left
the dinner-table to see who the
could be playing on the piano,
and discovered the sightless picka
ninny of four years perched on the
stool, his little hands plucking uncan
ny melody from the keyboard—from
that time until now he has had an un
wavering devotion to the instrument
whose music is his life.”
CHRONIC DIARRHOEA CURED.
This is to certify that I have had
chronic diarrhoea over since the war. I
got so weak I could hardly walk or do
anything. One bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diatrlioea Remedy
cured me sound and well.
