. MERGER OPEN.
Students Have Returned to
Both the Colleges and
Work in Earnest
COMMENCED FDR TERM,
The Principals of Both Instutions are
Very Hopeful and Say That They
Look for a Prosperous Year.
This morning t ,-hcol life was begun
again at Wetkyan Female College. Near
ly all of the .-;«<!< i who will attend this
,oti have r< irti',l. and the building is
w<4l filkd.
President Hammond said that the out
look for W. sh van brightens every day,
and that with the commencement of this
.. Sion he :•<<.- additional reason for hope
that the college w 11 si. ;.<lily grow in pros
-1>( rity and the favor of the people.
Sin .• Mo: lay morning the students
h i,, b > n einrnitig from their homes
winT- tin y v. tn. to spend the holidays,
and ye. ierday afternoon the last detach
i, n arriv'd. though tome few more are
< ;<'t<d today and tomorrow.
, w... .no special feature to the
opening. students went back to their
v.ork as though they had had no vacation,
liver. ; n», i.-i running as smoothly as it
did before the holidays.
Pi. d. ■ ■ Hammond spoke very encour
ag< Ingly 'ins morning when speaking of
the pric,peels of th, college.
“The finances of the college are better
th'ii th, v have been for some time.” he
laid, ”.bth, fact that the year just
pm, d has been one of the hardest the
college has ever experienced.”
“Considerable has been said about pa
rents sending their children from Macon
and other parts of the state to schools
<1 .'where to have th, in educated. Os.
com - ■ the only way for us to stop this is
to place Wesleyan at the head of the list
as a desirable place for the training of the
youn> women of the land in every branch
of uo full,. At present everything is
Working a smoothly as could be, and I
have no i, ason to doubt that next year the
a; t< n Juno 1 it Wesleyan will be remarka
bly increased.”
All of the students at the college, with
the exception of some few, have been re
e. ntly v.tccii. iltd. Many of them hadal
ready been treated.
The !..xt commencement at 'Wesleyan
will lie some different from those that
have been at, nd, d in former years. Dr.
Hammond's vigorous ideas of reform have
been evinced in every branch of the school,
and the long, tiresome commencement ex
ercises will be done away with to some ex
tent.
The broad id. i upon which the college
has been conducted for the past year has
rapidly won the commendation of the pu
pils and patron'-. The students are no
longer treated as prisoners, so that when
they come out into the world they are at
a lo r, to know what to do unless a teacher
is a with them to tell them the way. There
Is more conscientious work, and a better
feeling between teacher and pupil.
No one doubts that Wesleyan has enter
ed upon a glorious era of prosperity and
progress.
MERiCHR OPENS.
Mercer University opened for the spring
term this morning with the largest at
tendance that has characterized any open
ing of the college since it was established.
The large ittendance so soon after the
holidays is considered remarkable.
Every cottage on the campus was occu
pied before holidays, and it was a hard
matter to get boarding places near the
college, it is still harder now, and some of
the pupils are living a good way from the
college.
Professor Pollock says that he feels very
highly cncouagcd at the prospects that lie
before the college. lie says that the spirit
towards the university all over the state
where he has been is much kindlier and
the people feel more generous towards it.
The crusade inaugurated in the Baptist
churches in the city and state has done
much to helti the college along, and great
results are expected to accrue from this
source yet.

NEW HOTEL PLANS.
Have Arrived and are Now
Much Admired bv Those
Who Have Seen Them.
PRETTIEST 111 THE STATE.
The Exterior of the Building Will be
Very Handsome and the Interior
Arrangements are Perfect,
The plans for the proposed new hotel
for Ma con were brought to Macon a few
days ago by Architect Denny, who has had
the matter in hand.
Those who have seen 'the plans are de
lighted with them. They present the most
perfect plan for a comotnation of stores
and hole-1 that has ever been erected in
Georgia.
I'ae cost of the new hotel under these
plans would be about sl7ti,ooo but by close
figuring and composition may he brought
down to 5160,000.
There are those who look upon the idea
of a new hotel in Macon on tne scale out
lined by these plans as somewhat chimer
ical, but on the other hand there are ocher
practical business men and men with
plenty of capital who look upon it as per
fectly feasible.
The plans have attracted ’considerable
amount of attention though they have only
been seen by a few people.
The outside appearance of the hotel will
equal any building of the kind erected in
Georgia in accordance with its size and
the 'interior, office and store arrangements
are very perfect.
The hotel scheme will be pushed forward
rapidly as scon as the matter can be taken
up on a basis of business.
A number o* good people are interested.
They say that 'Macon needs the hotel and
that its erection will mean much to the
city.
The last place selected for the building
provided the proper arrangements oan be
made Is the Jaques & Tinsley building on
the corner of Cherry and Fourth streets.

MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4 iBgS.
What is Going
On in Society.
We have ail heard that “bargain seeker”
was feminine, but any impartial observer
who is out early enough will notice that
the shop windows have great attractions
for the men on their way to the office and
counting house. Just mark a window
“Everything in this window goes for sl, ’
and the men are so attentive to its attrac
tions, that very fe wwomen could get near
enough to ste anything inside, but must
content themselves witn reading th§ pla
card from a distance. One comfort, how
ever, is that when the men Have made
their selections it is safe to say that me
most desirable of the $1 articles are stilt
left in the windows. Women don’t love
bargains any better than men—well, of
course not —and that sentence needs eluci
dating. What I meant to say is that men
and women have the same fascinated lik
ing for bargains and the real difference is
that, as a rule, the woman gets the worth
of her money, and an article either of
beauty or of utility, and the ma ngets less
than his money’s worth and at the same
time provides himself with something
that neither he nor anybody else has any
use for. You see it is all iu judgment, and
few men are gifted as shoppers. On every
counter that you see marked “This lot to
go at 50 cents,” etc. there is sure to be
something worth really more than 50
cents, and in nine cases out of ten, I think
a woman will get that article and a man
will take just what “comes to hand.”
Some women have a genius for buying the
best things just at the time when they can
do so to the most advantage, and one se
cret of this is to watch the newspaper ad
vertisements and be in time to make se
lections of the things offered. Then you
have time to collect your thoughts and to
arrange your shopping list, knowing just
where to go and what you will find there.
This plan is infinitely more satisfactory
to the merchants too, for it must be some
what exasperating to wait while a woman
looks around to see what line of goods the
store- carries, when if she had read the ad
vertisements she would at least have a
general idea of things purchasable and
where to find them.
The History 'Club met yesterday after
noon at the residence of Mrs. Mallory

Americus, Jan. 4. —The Georgia and Ala

sweep in the removal of its offices and
heads of departments from Americus to
Savannah. When the main offices were re
moved recently the officials allowed the
departments of trainmaster and chief en
gineer to remain here, but today an order
was given for their removal also. This
takes away everything except the shops,
which remain by virtue of $25,000 paid by
the citizens of Americus for their loca

fight in the courts over the removal of the
general offices in violation of the com

SOUTHWESTERN.
Certficates of Stock Go Back
to the Central Railroad
Ownership
OH ACCOUNT OF DEAL
Which Transfers the Lease of the
Georgia Railroad the Louis
ville and Nashville.
Railroad officials here have heard noth
ing as yet about the transfer of the Cen
tal’s lease on the Georgia Railroad to the
Louisville and Nashville.
The first move is looked forward to with
interest if not with anxiety. Just what
will be done no one knows, though, as The
News stated some days ago, the probabili
ty is that offices will be established here
by the Louisville, and Nashville.
This is, however, so far purely a matter
of guess work, for the new owners of the
lease have not intimated to anyone what
policy they intend to pursue.
The terms of the transfer of the lease
have not yet been made public, but it is
intimated in railroad circles that the
transfer would never have been made if
there had not been some agreement on the
subject of rates.
A fight between the .two roads would -be
a matter of great interest to the Macon
people and the public generally. Just what
would be the course to be pursued has not
tieen planned out by those who are mak
ing it their business to gather up all the
guesses, but unless their has been an
agreement the chances are in favor of a
big fight.
As a result of a settlement of the mat
ter and the assumption of the entire ren
tal by the Louisville and Nashville the
Central will get back certificates for 1,198
shares of Southwestern railroad stock.
These certificates were placed with the
Georgia Railroad and Banking Company as
security for the Central's payment of its
half of the rental. Upon its missing the
.payments the stock was to be held by the
owners of the Georgia.. The Central has
missed but the rentals have been paid by
the Louisville and Nashville and the road
is not liable.
An order was oase secured from Judge
Speer of the United States court to pre
vent the Georgia Railroad and Banking
Company having the stock transferred to
it upon the books of the Southwestern.
The Central has drawn the dividends on
the security all the time it has been held
by the banking company, so that its get
ting the stock back will not represent any
additional income.

“The Dead Heart, ’ with James O’Neil in
the character of Robert Landrum, has
been seen in Macon once, but it is so long
ago and the play gave such pleasure io
every one who saw it that it is safe to
predict tor Mr. O’Neil a splendid audience
on Friday night.
The famous Bastile scene is one of the
most elaborately mounted and the most
stirring ever put upon the stage. Mr.
O’Neil carries an unusually strong compa
ny, both numerically and in point of abil
ity. In this scene fifty people are upon
the stage at one time, and the rescue of
Robert Landry from the dungeon is real
istic and powerful.
WOOD WARD-WARREN.
The intervals of Wednesday, Thursday
and Saturday of the week will be filled in
by the Woodward-Warren popular priced
company, which has established itself as a
strong favorite throughout the country. It
comes to Macon this year better equipped
than ever. Its repertoire is full of new
and good comedies and the prices at
which the company opens the doors of the
Academy this year affords every one an
opportunity to enjoy a good play. Ten.
twenty and thirty cents are the prices, and
they should, and doubtless will, draw im
mense houses.

A WORD FROM “OLD NEWTON.”
Cheney's Expectorant cured my son of

eial in all kinds of throat trouble. I con
sider it a blessing in my family.
C. D. McCurry. j

Disease makes a man just as helpless
is if he were tied with ropes. Weary
lassitude makes his muscles useless—slug
gish circulation of impure blood fills his
brain with useless clogging matter. Ef
fort is distasteful and brings scant results.
The trouble usually starts with the diges
tion. Teo much brain work takes needed
blood from stomach to head and retards
the stomach’s work. The body is not
fed. The nerves rebel. Sleep becomes
a stranger, loss of appetite is followed
by loss of flesh —and all for the want of
the right medicine at the right time. Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is for
the man who is losing flesh and vitality.
It is for the man whose digestion needs
help and whose nerves and brain are
overworked. It is the greatest of all
tonics. No matter what seems to be your
trouble, the “Golden Medical Discovery”
will cure it. It cures by making the
blood pure, rich and plenty, and by fur
nishing food for nerves and brain. Noth
ing has ever been found to equal it, but
dishonest druggists sometimes try to
make you believe that something more
profitable to them is “ just as good.” Do
not be deceived. Get what you ask for.
Constipation if neglected brings with it a train
of maladies that unfit the sufferer for either the
duties or pleasures of life. Sick and bilious head
aches and a multitude of other ills are due to con
stipation. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure con
stipation promptly and permanently. Druggists
S6ll them. Nothing else is “just the same.’’
