THAT SYNDICATE
formed for the Purchase of the Wolff <St
Happ Building.
It is probable that some Interesting de
velopments in connection with the sale of
the Wolff A- Happ building will be ready
for publication in a few days.
The present owner of the biulding, Mr.
J. Russak, of New York, is ready to sell
his interest in «the bluldlng, which amounts
Io $25,300, and it is understood that a syn- I
dieate has about been formed to buy his ,
interest., which would give the purchasers i
a magnificent building at about 50 cent on I
•the dollar.
What the plans of the syndicate are it j
would be difficult to say as they decline ;
to give anything out In this connection at
present. It is intimated, however, that it
is their intention to make two wholesale
scores out of the present building. This,
however, is denied by some of those who
are known to be connected with the syn
dicate. ■ '’■ ■*

What is Going
On in Society.
The ice works wonders we know, but it
takes an artistic eye to see such beauty as
■ i* quaintly described in yesterday’s At
| iaata Journal:
“A new statue of white Parian marble '
at Grant's park surprised the visitors who, 1
defying Sunday's cold, went out to enjoy j
i a wintor's view of the pretty place. The
first glimpse through the pines and cedars
j of che rare and dainty piece of art was
: charming. Its almost pearl whiteness cut
j out like a cameo from the back-ground of :
| sere and sable fret*, was suggestive of a
| young bride ta her veil and orange
i wreaths.
On nearer approach what had appeared
, to be a veil proved xo be in reality the ;
I carven, wind-blown locks of a Brunhiide
i in the act of throwing qubits. Her tresses ;
i in a fringe of most delicate silkness, so '
finely sculptured that the afternoon sun *
glowed yellow t!h rough them, swept out in '
banners behind her.
"Back of the marble maiden, a tall tree i
in marble lifted Its enoy canopy, and mar- I
ble grasses as delicate and beautiful as the '
artist s soul that conceived them, carried
tho impress of Brunhilde’s little feet.
I he arti-t who made the wonderful
statue is one whose work is known .
throughout the land to be above criticism, I
appoaehlng as nearly as nature does no 1
i perfection.
A sight of the statue is worth a visit i
| to Giant s park, even in this old weather;
in fact, unh-xs one go during 'this season
I of ice, the vision of a beautiful figure in
i place of what was a fountain, and an oak
' tree in summer time, will not reward
I him.”
Mrs. Wallace McCaw's german tonight
will introduce to Macon society two of the
I most charming visitors this cky has ever
j had, Miss Dallas and Miss Keith, two of
' 's belles. The young ladies are

HOME AGAIN.
An Erring Giri from Baldwin Found in Wash
ton City.
Some time ago a story appeared in Tho
News to nilie effect Chat a 'prominent young
woman of Baldwin county had left her
home and come to Macon, from here going
>to Washington, D. C.. in company with a
young man, whom she claimed as her hus
band.
A few days 'later the father and brother
of the young lady were in the* city 'look
ing for hi r. They were told by itiae ticket
agent that a young couple answering to
the description he gave, had bought tick
ets for Washington, D. C.
The hrcicher at once bought a ticket for
Washington and started in pursuit, the
father returning home. That has been
several months ago. The brother returned
to his home several weeks ago, having
'been unable to find his sister.
The matter was soon forgotten by those
who knew about it, but interest was re
vived a few days ago when a letter was
received by the .parents from the young
girl asking that they send some one to
Washington for her. Her brother again
went to Washington and found her in a
home for the friendless, and brought her
■back to her home.
The family is said to be a very p.-cmi
nent one, and the matter is kept a secret.
The couple passed through Macon Sunday
afternoon.

ciety has given. Extensive preparations
have been made for those who will eftend.
Dancing will be the principal amuse
ment, and the music will be furnished by
Card's full orchestra.
I NEW DIRECTORS
For the Exchange Bank Were
Elected at Yesterday’s
Annual Meeting.
MOFICEII SHOWING.
The Record for the Year Speaks
Eloquently for the Success of
the Institution,
The annual election of the directors of
the Exchange Bank was held yesterday
; morning.
Three new names were added to the I
I directorate.
Mr. W. A .Doody was elected to take i
I the place of Mr. Wra. Gordon, who has re- ’
i signed, and Messrs. N. B. Corbin and J. H.
| Williams were added to the board.
This makes the directorate of the bank [
consist of 'the following business men of i
the city:
J. W. Cabaniess, S. S. Dunlap, W. R.
Rogers, L. W. Hunt, R. E. Park, H. J.
Lamar, A. D. Schofield, Sam Mayer, W. A.
Doody, J. H. Williams and N. B. Corbin.
The same officers were re-elected by the
board of directors. These officers now are:
President, J. W. Cabaniss.
Vice President, S. S. Dunlap.
All the other departments of the bank
remain the same.
The statement made to the bank direc
tors was unusually good, and the bank
i was shown to be in a flourishing condition.
The earnings of the bank for the last
six months, July 1 to December 31, 1897, I
show that the earnings of the bank were
$40,000, a material increase over last year’s
earnings for 'the same time. •
The banking institutions of Macon show
up a particularly good record. The pub
lished statements of the Exchange Bank
show that that institution has preserved
its magnificent record as one of the finest
banking institutions in the South. For
years the Exchange bank has been the
father of Macon’s business men. It is
looked upon with the respect and confi
dence that a father recives from his chil
dren, and everyone feels a pride in the
increasing prosperity of the institution.
Much of Lite sucess and popularity of
the Exchange Bank is due to the per
sonality of Mr. J. W. Cabaniss, who is
now the president, and for years was 'the
cashier of the bank. No man has done
more to earn, or deserves more the re
spect of the people of a city. He is the
type of the business man who is of the
highest value to a community.

Since the Assault.
Capt. R. J. Anderson was out on the

he was assaulted by footpads.
The assault occurred near Mercer Uni

was on his way home with a buggy loaded
with Christmas gifts for bis family.
He says that he distinctly remembers
being struck on the head from behind but
was unable to see who his assailant was.

has completely recovered from that.

struck his left shoulder and it is still very

is being heard today in rhe city court.

gave him a note for the amount. When
, the note fell due Coleman rTd-lcl to meet
it and Palmer eent out to him and found
that the horse was not there.
A warrant was obtained charging Cole
man with cheating and swindling. His
defense is that he did not buy the horse
at all and that it is a case of mistaken
identity. He says that another man who
very closely resembles him has on more
than one occasion personated him in vari
ous transactions. He absolutely denies all
knowledge of the horse.

there is no question as to Coleman’s iden
tity and says that he is fully satisfied that

DID NOT
Report That Leiter Was Sell
ing is Denied Today.
Chicago, Jan. s—The5 —The rumors which were
persistently circulated last nlgut to the
effect that Jos. Leiter had closed con
tracts for the disposal of the graater part
of his vast accumulation of wheat to New
fork and Baltimore exporters, had
placed it in Europe, was positively denied
today by Broker Geo. tB. Frenqh, who rep
resented the Leiter crowd.
On account of the known fact that nu
i merous bids have been lately re.-eived from
exporters for high quality wheat in the
1 possession of the Leiters, the reports were
received with some credence.
French stated emphatically today, how
ever, that there was no truth iu the re
ports.

There was not a single case from any

OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION
I Os the Second Georgia Regiment Meets
Tonight in Regular Session.
The Officers’ Association of the Second
Georgia regiment will meet tonight at the
Hussars’ armory in regular session.
A number of matters affecting the rou
tine of the military will be discussed, and,
among other things, Dr. GeWinner will
read a paper on a subject selected by him
self.
The military of Macon are expecting to
go into camp at Chickamauga this year
and are looking forward to the encamp
ment with a great deal of pleasure.
It is expected that on the return of
Governor W. Y. Atkinson from his Mex
ico trip the advisory board will be called
together and the date for the encampment
will then be set.
The reason for the selection of Chicka
mauga as the place for the encampment
this year is the fact that the Georgia mon
ument will be unveiled this spring, and as
a number of Georgia soldiers fell m that
battle it is thought appropriate that the
militia of the state be in attendance.

1 1 Want to Paint
I want to paint your metal roof with “English Paint. Stops leaks; yes, it do ”
If you will extend io me the courtesy of reading this “ad.” I will, I believe, con
vince you that 1 am the man you want to paint your roof.
I want you to feel, as do the bright, brainy business men of Albany, Thomas
ville and other cities where 1 hare worked, i. e., when Harvey English paints their
■ roof wiiu “English Paint Stops Leaks; Ves It do” they are getting the very best set
: vice, and paint, that money will buy and at a very resettable price.
1 do but one kind of work —paint metal roofs —and 1 do it better than any one else.
This sounds egotistical, and it is, but its the truth. In every calling in life there
I is some one who is universally recognized as head and shoulders above his fellows.
In every instance it is the one who loves bis calling, who has has large experience,
■ and who has brain capacity to profit by such experience. In roof painting, 1 am
I that man. 1 prepare my own paint, and know exactly what is in it.
It wiil stop leaks, prevent rust, kill acids, protect surfaces. r
It won’t crack, blister, run, peel nor scale off.
It is water proof, spark proof, rust pro of, elastic. The color is a chining glossy
black, resembling enamel. It wears longer and gives better protection than the red
mineral paint in common use.
Only one white man and no niggers at ati*:hat knows how to make “English
Paint Stops Leaks; Yes It Do.” Ido most of the work myself, aud know that it is
well done. I know how to do the right thing at the right time, and Ido it.
I have painted many metai roofs in Albany, a few of which are: A. W. Muse
& Co., cotton warehouse, one-half acre; Hall’s warehouse, one-half acre; Cook’s
warehouse, one-half acre; Gannaway ware house, one acre; Georgia Cotton Oil Com
pany, two acres; Mayo Hotel, one-half acre, and lots and lots of roofs of from one
to fifty squares (100 square feet.)
I am indorsed by the best men of Al- i
bany, Ga._
Albany. Ga.. June 5, 1897.
We know Mr. Haivey English to be a j
citizen of Dougherty county, Georgia, a I
! property holder therein; that he has done ]

work. Work entrust’d to his hands will
be faithfully executed, and his guarantee
is good. J. T. Hester, tax collector; Sam
