A correspondent writes and asks:
“What is a hen party ?” Good
Heavens, man ! What do we know
about a “hen party?” But perhaps
it is merely
A little jolification,
A spnng-time celebration.
For the special delectation
Os a petticoat combination
Os the Insurance association?
No gambling dissipation—
Just a pleasant recreation
For this feminine delegation.
And a wild conglomeration
Os a lemonade libation.
And a candy-cake eolation.
Interspersed with conversation
And the brilliant scintillation
Os a witty congregation,
And the tintinnabulation
Os the “belles” of every nation.

says the meeting was a most pleasant
one, and his brief stay among the hos

of the most pleasant occasions of re
cent years. lie is, in fact, quite en

“Evil Dispositions

Just so evil in the blood

using Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

of irregular living shows it

Blood Poison " I lived in a bed of fire I
for years owing to blood poisoning that fol- i
lowed small pox. It broke out all over my
body, itching intensely. Tried doctors and

Chattanooga Spring Festival.
Next week will witness the great
est gala event in the history of
Chattanooga, and with few if any
exceptions, the most brilliant foto
ever held in the south. The occa
sion will be the second Annual
Spring Festival, which will begin
on Tuesday morning, May’ 2nd,
with a reception to Baldur 11, king
of the Festival, and the procession
in his honor. At night there will
be a magnificent illuminated pro
cession of allegorical floats, as fine
as any ever seen in the New Or
leans Mardi Gras pageants. On
Wednesday will occur the gorgeous
flower parade, in which a dozen
queens on regal floats, besides hun
dreds of private vehicles and bicy
cles will participate. In tho after
noon and at night there will be
concerts by the superb Boston
Festival Orchestra and such world
famous singers as Campanari and
Sara Anderson. The third day’
will witness a splendid tourna
ment, in which many knights
from the states of Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee will partici
pate and magnificent coronation
exercises. The governors of Geor
gia and Kentucky with their staffs,
and hundreds of people from these
two states will be present to dedi
cate their monuments. Besides
there is to be a manufacturers’ art
and woman’s exposition, brilliant
balls, splendid band music and
numerous side attractions. The
railroads have given the lowest
rate of fare ever accorded Chatta
nooga before, and there bids fair
to be a tremendous attendance.

Country’s Marvelous Growth.
The census of 1900 will show
that the United States has a pop
ulation of 77,500,000 people, if the
estimates of the treasury depart
ment are correct. The statistician
of the department issues a month
ly statement of the estimated pop
ulation of the country, and, ac
cording to his figures, there is an
increase of about 140,000 every
thirty days, and a gain of over 1,-
500,000 every year. The official
population figures in 1880 were
50,000,000. The number of people
in the United States has been more
than doubling evf-ry’ thirty’ years
since the foundation of the gov
ernment, and the figures for 1900
promise to be more than twice
what they were in 1870. This was
a great nation in the latter year,
but it has grown more in the past
decades than in the entire century’
prior to 1870. The increase in the
past ten years amounts t<> alm- st
as much as th-* entire population
of the country in 1540. —Colum-

STRAWBERRY CROP.
Prospects For a Large Yield Said
to Be Very ißright.
If the weather continues favor
able for another week it is thought
the shipment of strawberries from
this section will commence m ear
nest not later than May sth to May
10 th.
The vines are unusually full of
bicoms and the berries are grow
ing rapidly, and give promise of
being large and fine.
President Corbleigh says the
prospects for a large crop were
never better, and believes that a
good range of piece will be main
tained. Ho says the fruit is of the
finest quality, and predicts a crop
of 200,000 crates in what is known
as the Chattanooga district, which
embraces this county.
If the crop should net the grow
ers SI.OO to $1.25 a crate, which is
considered a conservative estimate,
it will put in circulation in thi
section something over $200,000.
Puterbaugh & Perry, n?ar Men
lo, estimate their crop at 7,000 to
8,000 crates, and a number of
other growers around Summerville,
Raccoon and Menlo, will swell this
amount to quite respectable pro
portions.
Just now the berry men have
just cause to congratulate them
srlves on the bright prospects be
fore them.

Dear Brethren:—Please allow me
to urge upon you the duty and impor
tance of your attendance upon our
meeting at Lyerly on the fifth Sunday
and Saturday before, inst. You were
appointed by your church because she
wantud her S. S. represented, and by
you. The success of the convention
depends in part upon your presence
and help. “Wist ye not brethren that
we must be about our Father’s busi
ness?” Therefore be on time for the
first service, 10:30 Saturday a. m.
Come praying for and expecting a
spiritual baptism to help forward our
great Sunday school cause.
Yours fraternally,
Jesse Calloway.

Those sententious proverbs, or
old saws, which are used as pre
fixes to all of the Hood Sarsapa
rilla advertising in thousands of
papers throughout the country, are
evidence of a new and original
style of display advertising both
pleasing and effective. The Hood
firm is to be congratulated on so
cleverly adapting such wisdom as
has filtered down through centu
ries. Another charming thing
about this Hood advertising is the
unique type they are using.
