Thfjf Dii'tWint a Change.
A correspondent of the Americus Recorder,
writing from Buena Vista, claims that the people
of Marion county want to change the terminus of
the Buena Vista and EUaville railroad from An-
dersonville to Americus. He goes on to say that
before tills can be done some changes will have
to he made in the present board of directors of
the road. He says tills can be easily accomplish
ed, but tills writer, who is fully posted on the
subject, is of an opposite opinion. To the pres
ent board of directors the building of the road is
I largely due. and it. will be almost an impossihil-
To Date, j jjy j () oust them from their position, Nor do the
l.*898 ! people of Marlon county want this change made,
313 | What they do want is railroad connection with
JiJjjg I Columbus.
Marion county farmers do their trading in
Columbus and bring their cotton here, because j
they cm buy good** cheaper and on better terras >
and get more for their cotton than they can in I
Americus. While Americus is nearer and the
roads are better, the advantages offered arc so
great that the people of Marion clearly demon
strate their wish to continue the hitherto pleas
ant relations which exist between them and the
business men of Columbus by continuing to
bring their cotton here and to do their trading in
this market.

A Sad and Sudden Death.
One of the most sudden and saddest deaths
that we have been called upon to chronicle in n
long time occurred in this city some time Thurs
day night. About 3 o’clock yesterday morning
Mr. Mike Brady was awakened by hearing the
crying of the infant of His sister, Mrs. II A.
Wash. He went into tho room to awake his sis
ter and was astounded to find that she was dead.
Hlie retired Thursday night in apparently good
health, and her death is attributed to congestion
of the heart. Mrs. Wash was a daughter
of Mrs. Charles Brady, and had been mar
ried only about a year. Her husband is a bag
gage master on the Southwestern railroad and
was absont in Mncon at tho time of her death.
She was a most estimable lady and had a large
circle of friends who will be grieved to learn of
her death and who sympathize with the family
in their sad bereavement.
The funeral took place from the Church of the
Holy Family at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The services were conducted by Father Schlenke
and was largely attended. The following gen
tlemen wore the pall bearers: R. E. Kavanagh,
O. J. Burrus, Richard Nceham, J. H. Connor.
John Brady and John Smith.

There is a great difference in the liability ofthe
teeth of different individuals to decay. Even in
the same mouth, some teeth are more suscepti
ble to decay than thereat, owing to constitutional
conditions at the time of their formation. Be
yond question, however, the chief cause of caries
is the fermentation and decomposition of food
ubout and between the teeth. To prevent this
fermentation and decomposition use Delacto-
lave. For sale by all Druggists.
