Miss Mattie, the 10-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Giles, died at her home near Auburn, on November 30. She bore her suffering with out a murmur and met the sum mons with a serene faith in Him who is over aii and above all. . Self-respect, meekness and mod esty were the dominating elements that made her truly a strong, deep and earnest character. Her gen erous, unselfish disposition, and kind gentle manners, had endear ed her to all, and when the death augel invaded our midst and sum moned this loving girl of so much promise from earth, our hearts were saddened and our eyes were dimmed with tears. To know a few such characters is the privi lege of a life time. She was the pride of fond pa rents, who have our profound and heartfelt sympathies in their sad hours of sore afflictiou. She was diligent, studious, de voted to duty, and ambitious to develop her self into the highest type of Christian womanhood, but her bright day closed in its early morning, leaving her infant purity and childish innocence unmarred. On that beautiful Thanksgiving morning, while millions of earnest prayers were ascending in pro found gratitude to a just God who looks in tender mercies on a sin cursed world, it was not unmeet that her spirit, pure and spotless, should leave the tired sufferer and return to Him who gave it. Though her seat is vacant, her voice is silent, and her genial smile we shall never see again, yet we cannot dismiss her to the silent halls of death; but inspired by the purity and nobility of her character, we shall ever be guided by the foot-prints |Bhe left along life’s short journey, and will, as a last Bad tribute, tenderly twine around her memory garlands wo ven from the. sweetest flowers of friendship and love. 1 These few words are an effort at ; a testimonial of my high esteem , for my departed pupil. Hkr Teacher. THE DEADLY COFFIN TACK. V. C. Candler, son of Governor Candler, and known among hie associates as ‘‘Vic,” was in the city this week carrying his left arm in a sling. Vic was paral ized at his boarding house in Ath ens on the 18th ult., and was unconscious for three days. As soon as possible he was moved to Atlanta and put under the treat ment of Dr. Holmes. Dr. Goss of Athens and Dr. Holmes cf Atlanta both agreed that the stroke of paralysis was caused from smoking cigarettes. These physicians say that he will soon recover from the stroke, but warned him against future use of cigarettes. Vic says they are undobtedly correct as to the cause of the stroke, and relates what the depot agent, where he is employed at Athens, said the day he was strick en. Vic had just fiuisbed his third cigarettes after breakfast, when the agent remarked, "If you don’t quit smoking cigarettes, some of these times you will fall over insensible, and you may thereafter be affected for life,” Vic did not believe what the agent said, and the agent did not think his words would prove true in so short a time. He said he passed through the day and never felt better, but as he went to the bath room at night to take a bath he fell over and knew nothing more for three days. He hopes to be well again in a short time, as he can now move his left arm and the fingers of his hand which were most affected. Since that time the superinten dent of the Southern road has or dered that ail employees of the road who use cigarettes must dis card them or give up their situa tions. While the order of the superin tendent of the Southern ruilroad will cause that official to be spo ken of as a tyrant, it will do much towards creating a sentiment against the use of cigarettes, for when a habit of any kind bars a man from any certiau occupation it is obliged to have its effect on the public mind. —Gainesville Eagle.

A game that was introduced among town boys about a week ago has already become unpopu lar, despite its uniqueness. The boys place a comrade in a large bag, aud when a man comes aloug two of the lads are tugging at the bag as if in efforts to lift it and carry it away, while the other youngsters are out of sight, but on the watch. The two boys at the bag, panting as if out of breath, appeal to the passing man for help, and, in nine cases out of ten the request is complied with. In his anxiety to give the boys a lift the man plunges right in and raises the “boy in the bag” off the ground. Immediately he is startled by cries of “murder” and “help,” which come from the bag and in form him that he has been made the victim of a boyish prank. Iu most cases the victim joins in the laugh, but a few nightß ago a fath erly-looking iuvidual upon whom the joke was played got his dander up and seized the kid in the bag, roughly pulled him forth and then turning the much frightened lad across his knee administered an old-fashioned spanking. In that neighborhood the game has be come unpopular because of the difficulty of getting a boy to go into the bag. Broken Commandments. The brilliant young preacher when he makes his parochial calls endeavors to cultivate an acquain tance with the development of the younger minds, thus after a fashion keeping tab upon his Sun day 7 school teachers. The other afternoou, while he was waiting in the drawing room of a beautiful Cass avenue resi dence, for the delayed appearance of Elsie’s mamma, he was enter tained by the little daughter her self. Taking her upon his lap he gan a review of the church lessons that had been given to a little j maid of five. “Can you tell me, Elsie, how many commandments there are?” “Yes, sir; seven or eight.” “Oh, no, dear; there are ton.” “Yes, I know there used to be, but I heard papa tell mamma yes terday that you had broken two or three of them at least, and 1 that would leave only seven or ! eight, you know.” As a cure for rheumatism Uh&inber lain’s Pain Balm is gaining a wide rep utation. D. B. Johnston of Richmond, Ind., has been troubled with that ail ment since 1862. In speaking of it he says: “1 never found anything that would relieve me until I used Cham berlain’s Pain Balm. It acts like mag ic with me. My foot was swollen and paining me very much, but one good application of Pain Balm relieved me. For sale by Bagwell Drug Co. BOERS LIGHTEN SIEGE; FIGHTING AT IHAFEKING. inland Does Not Fipwt an Earl; Col lapse of tbe Boer Army. Bittle May Have Been Fought at Cclenso. London, Dec. B.—While the ru mors of the relief of Kimberly current on the stock exchange to day may bo premature, in their literal sense, there seems no doubt that the pressure on the gams ii has been much lighted by General Methuen’s successes an<! the actual relief of the place is likely to be a 1 fact very soon. A clue to the urgent reasons which dictated General Methuen’s hurried march may be found in Governor Milner’s hint to the re lief committee at Capetown to prepare for the reception of 10,000 refugees, indicating that the gar rison must have had reason to fear tbe reduction of Kimberly by starvation und disease. The most recent news from Kim berly comes by way of Pretoria and almost seems to show that Kimberly and Mafeking are acting in concert with General Methuen, for at the time the battle was raging at Gras Pas, both Colonel Kekewich and Colonel Baden-Pow ell made sorties and assailed the beleaguers. The result of the Mafe king sortie is not known, but ac cording to a dispatch from Preto ria Colonel Kekewich inflicted considerable loss on the Boers, two shells killiing nine and wound ing seventeen in a group. SORTIE AT MAFEKING. Special dispatches from Pretoria dnted Sunday. November 26, say there was another sortie from Mafeking Saturday, November 25. On the morniog of that day the chartered police attacked Eloff’s fort with great determination. The fight was progressing whein tbe dispatch was sent. * Several ambulance trains left Mafeking November 25 for the Free State, where heavy fighting was expected during the tho-i coming week The Boers, it was added, would resist the advance of the British in the direction of Kimberley. It is reported that General Methuen resumed his march north ward Wednesday and expected to form a junction with the Kimber ley force Saturday or Sunday. It is suggested in some quarters that the Boer forces have been withdrawn from tho north of Cape Colony and may be hurrying lo attack General Methuen’s rear; but as reinforcements have been pushed rapidly forward from Or ange river and DeAar, it is claim ed they ought to circumvent Buch designs. NO SPEEDY COLLAPSE. From Lord Wolseley’s announce ment it had been decided to call out one more division, it appears clear that the war officials do not look for a speedy collapse of Boer resistance. t The brief telegrams from Natal and the central theatre of the war convey little information about the situation. Naauwpoort re ports that half the Colesburg Dutch who responded to the Boer summons for military service have now returned to their homes, so, perhaps the serious civil troubles hampering General Gatacre may be lessened and the military oper ations under his directions will commence. So far as known, the Ladysmith relief force is still at Frere, though the bridge was perhaps sufficiently repaired to permit of its passage November 80, in which case the opposing forces may already have {Beautiful; {Women j There are few women as beea- 3 { tiful as they might be.

It is delightful to have girl friends, but a little thought should be exercised in chosiug one’s com panions. The girls you go with can either make your life or embitter it. 'lf the chum of whom you are so particular fond is envious of your home, your clothes and the people who come to see you, you had bet ter drop her friendship with aslit tle delay as possible. In the first place, be cautions about getting too intimate with your girl friends. Don’t tell them in secret the private affairs that go on in your own household, for some day they will turn it all to account against you, and will repeat the stories you unfolded to them with such startling variations and different meaning that you will be fairly ap palled. No matter how pleasant the family of the girl across the way may be to you, you become a nui sance when you run in upon them before breakfast and at all hours. Yon should respect their privacy. If one of your girl friends has an admirer coming on a certain eve ning don’t intrude yourself there, when your room at that time would be better than your compa ny. If you cannot attract a beau of your own do not hang around to capture a stray smile or a word from another girl’s fellow. The girl would be sure to dislike you, and you will not appear to any advantage in the young man’s eyes. Do not boast of your conquests among the young men to your girl friends, for they are sure to spread it, despite the ban of secrecy im posed upon th m, or what you and your best fellow talk about when he calls. Don’t exhibit all your pretty clothes for your girls friends’ edi fication and elaborate upon each article. This arouses a spirit of jealousy iu their hearts, which, once light ed, iB a flame which feeds quickly upon itself, and, like a slumbering, smouldering volcano, is never af terward fully extinguished. Don’t trust their suggestions. If your girl frieuds look at you it is to criticise generally, and be a little chary of taking their advice at all times—they may have their own interest at heart insteud of yours.— Laura Jean Libby, iu New York World.

Another test was made when the signals were convoyed through three fire proof vaults and an or dinary telegraph switch-board in which thirty wires w. r- connected up and about forty dead wires were located. Notwithstanding the fact that this switch-hoard contained live wires, the current passed through all of the vaults and trough this board. This is one of the most severe tests that has been given wireless telegra phy.
