Death of Mrs. James P. Harrison.
Wo were pained to see in the Sun

Harrison, which occurred in Atlanta,
on Saturday night, aftei nn illness of
two weeks. Mrs. Harrison was well
known and greatly beloved in tills

young bride and resided a few years.

those Christian graces and womanly

THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.
In tho Augusta Chronicle of the
4tli, we find a statement of tho Sen
ate tariff bill, reported from the com
mittee on finance by Sonator Allison.
It is in the nature of a substitute (as
stated) for the House tariff bill, em
bodying a revision of tho tariff sched
ules and retaining such features of
the present law as in the opinion of
the committee ought not to be chang
ed. We can form some idea of its
inadequacy to meet the views of the
opponents of the present tariff law by
the following provisions of the bill.
The Senate adds to the free list acorns,

We take the following from the
news column of the Macon Evening
News, Oct 2nd:
“The latest application of instantane
ous photography is that of taking the
picture of a marriage group just as
the clergyman is pronouncing the hap
py couple man and wife. The first
photograph of this kind was taken at
Netherwood, N. J., on Wednesday
evening. The Hash light apparatus
was placed in the gallery of the clmpel
and the picture successfully taken at
the proper moment with no ill effect
except to frighten the clergyman and
some of the spectators who were not
in the secret.”
This photographic feat was success
fully executed by Messrs. Fairfield and
McDaniel at the marriage of Mr. Tay
lor and Miss Fannie Price in the M.
E. Church in this city on the night of
the sixth of June, 1888, and the pic
turo Inis been hanging in their gal
lery ever since. It is a large picture

The Macon folks will yield Mil-
ledgeville the palm, for energy, pluck
and promptness.
They had their dummy line graded,
and the iron laid, before wo had put
r pick in tho ground. And our train,
covering three miles of track, is run
and delivering freight, and Macon
is not doing Ihe same. Hurrah for
old Milledgeville!
For tiik Ladiks.—There are many
ladies in Milledgeville fond of Rowers,
and who take great pleasure in culti
vating and improving them in color,
and general beauty and henlthful-
ness. We, though experienoed in a
very limited area in this particular
line, beg leave to give those of our
lady friends and readers who have
not tried it, a valuable suggestion.
We know it is just splendid; and it is
so simple and always at hand. Use
coff'eo grounds on your ilower beds
and in your pots. Do not wait till they
get sour and musty. Cover the
grounds with some light mulch or
soft, ricli earth.
Wednesday was a beautiful day for
the election. There being no oppo
sition to tlie Democratic state ticket,
and nominees for the legislature hav
ing settled the result through the
primaries, and tho people being very
busy with their crops, of course there
was comparatively a small vote in
Georgia.
Who was the man that bet the
city Editor a cigar that tlie election
in Baldwin would show over 1200
votes polled? In the excitement we
have forgotten his name. Let him
remember that “honesty is the best
policy,” and that our fame as a
prophet is at stake, and our pocket
proportions in danger of suffering for
so important an addition to its
wealth.
Roses and bounding health take the
place of the sickly look, the lost col

story of our matchless progress, in the

is not a state in the south that boasts

er had a doctor in tlie house, except
three times, when we had ah'epidem
ic of scarlet fever, which we soon ban
ished by a vigoroususoof Brafidi-eth’s
Pills. I have used them for myself,
two or three a night for a month, for
liver complaint, dyspepsia, and con
stipation. In diarrheua, crumps, wind
colic, indigestion, one or two Bran-
dreth’s Pills fixed tlie children at once.
A box of Pills is all the medicine
chest we require in tho house. Wo
use them for rheumatism, colds, ca
