FIRST MEETING
FOR MIL,
Will be Held on Tuesday Af
ternoon by the Executive
Committee.
MYSTERIOUS PLANS
Are on Foot aud the Committee Ail
Pledged to Secrecy Will Not
Say Anything.
Th< Macon Carnival Association will be
gin business In earnest on Friday evening, I
when a meeting of the executive committee
will be held in Mr. Ellis Talbott's office at
4 o'clock to formulate plans for the car
nival.
The appointment of committees will be
one of the first necessary st« ps and the
formation of a geneial outline of work for
the carnival, which is to be made the big
gest thing ever attempted in the history
of the city.
It has been suggested by the president,
Mr. Kd. Waxelhaum, that the object of the
carnival be made the celebration of the
seventy-fifth anniversary of the incorpora
tion of the eity of Macon, making Inis year
the diamond Jubilee. The suggestion has
been taken to very kindly and will, in all
probability, be adopted by the committee.
The detailed plans of the executive com
mittee ’vill not be made* public because the
association is anxious to make this carni
val something original and unique in the
South. Except in a general way, therefore,
nothing will be given out until all con
tracts have been signed, and a delightful j
air of mystery will surround everything
until the committee sees fit to give it out.
Each member of the committee will be
pledged to secrecy after the meeting on
next Friday night and mystery will add
very much to the interest of the occasion.
The merchants have taken very kindly to
the whole thing and will give it their most
earnest and hearty support.
AFTER THE SHOOFLY.
A Man With a Phonograph Had an Exciting
Chase Yesterday Afternoon;
Almost daily mine amusing incident
happens at the Union depot which makes
the attraction greater for the habitues of
that place. One of the most amusing of
these daily occurrences was the one yes
terday afternoon in which a phonograph
and a very diminutive Italian figured.
Evidently the owner of Edison’s mar
velous invention had been in the habit of
giving concerts to filled hal'ls, for he car
ried a great funuell, which was as thick
in diameter as he was tall.
He had bought a ticket to Valdosta on
the Shoofly. As he was standing at the
ticket window the conductor shouted ‘‘all
aboard.” The small man with the large
funnel made a break for the gate. 'Gate
keeper Holmes attempted to stop him,
but he was given a broadside from thefun
ndl, which was being dragged through the
gate. The race down the end of the car
shed was a most exciting one, and it is
probable that the nimble dago would have
caught 'the train had not a pair of truck-s,
which, in the hurry of the moment, he
did not sec, been directly in the way. He
struck them at full speed, and with a clat
ter funnel, phonograph and man all went
down in a heap. 'Even Station Master
Cherry laughed until he cried.
LIKE A FLASH
Os Thunder From a Clear Sky Came News
of Indictments.
Vernon. Ind., Jan. 6. —The grand jury
has returned indictments against two
prominent citizens who are held in public
confidence. John S. Morris, the present
cashier of the First National Bank of this
place, is charged with bribing Charles G.
Baty, a county commissioner, for his vote
and influence in awarding a county loan
of *55,000 to John S. Morris. The news
that Morris was indicted for bribery and
Baty for accepting the bride came like a
clash of thunder out of a clear sky to the
people.

CHILD WIFE CALLS ON CLAY.
The Old Gentleman Kissed Hur Forehead
and Gave Her $25.
Whitehall, Ky„ Jan. 6.—Little Dora, the
child wife of Gen. Cassius M. Clay, the
eecentrie old Kentuckian, has returned
from a visit to her husband at Valley View.
She went to see the general because he
had sent for her to come and cheer him.
He had been sick and needed her comfort
ing little hand to stroke his silvery locks
and smooth his wrinkled eyelids into
sleep. The old man has been restless since
Dora ran away and left him just before
Christmas, and the hours grew so lonely
he eoudn’t stand it any longer, so he sent
for her, begging her please to come back
to him ami comfort him once more.
Dora drove with Clell Richardson's wife
across the country to see the general.
"Dear little girl," he said to her, pat
ting her caressingly upon her soft hair;
•T sent for you because 1 have not been
well. I have suffered since you left me
and could not sleep.” And the tall, gaw
ky. feeble form of the aged husband
leaned over the girl wife. He kissed her
tenderly on the forehead, and looking deep
down into her pretty eyes, said:
“I cannot get well without you. dear
child. But I reckon it is better for you
not to stay. Better for you and better for
me. Don't be afraid I am going to ask
you to stay with me. You need apt stay
any longer than you want to, little woman.
There now. Goodby.
And he gave her $25.

EAST MACON BAPTIST.
Work Has Been Commenced on the New
Church Over There Again,
Work has been resumed on the East Ma
con Baptist church once more. This work
is never commenced until the money to
pay for it is in hand. The congregation
says that it will pay for the church as it
is completed.
The work is progressing much more rap
idly than was expected, as the terms under
which it is being built were that as fast
as the money was subscribed by the mem
bership that it would be expended, and no
indebtedness would be contracted.
MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT
Expressed When If Was Learned that Balti
more Would Not Come Here.
Much disappointment was expressed on j
! all sides when the announcement was read
;in 'i he News yesterday afternoon to the
effect that the Baltimore ba.-.eball team
would not tome to Macon tnis spring to
practice.
When Manager Hanlon was here last
spring he was talking to Mr. B. W. Sperry
about Macon's being the team's mascot.
Mr. Sperry differed with him and said
that it was not Macon, but it was he him
self. He predicted that Baltimore would
lose the pennant, and she did. Manager |
Hanlon remembers that incident, and now j
has superstition that Mr. Sperry was i
right.
There is a probability that the St. Louis
Browns will come here to practice.

CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA

Ojspepsia Tablets.
No trouble is more common or more mis
understood than nervous dyspepsia. Peo
ple having it think that their nerves are to
ldame and arc surprised that they are not
cured by nerve m< dicine and spring reme
dies; the real seat of the mischief is. lost
sight of; the sU.ma~k is the organ to be
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do net have
any whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps
any of the usual symptoms of stomach
weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself
not in the stomach so much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the heart
palpitates and is irregular; in others the
kidneys are airected; in others the bowels
are constipated, with headache; still others
are troubled with loss of flesh and appe
tite, with accumulations of gas, sour ris
ings and heartburn.
Mr. A. \V. Sharper, of No. 61 Prospect
street, Indianapolis, Ind., writes as fol
lows: “A motive of pure gratitude prompts
me to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stuart’s Dys
pepsia Tablets. I have been a sufferer
from nervous dyspepsia for the last four
years; have used various patent medicines
and other remedies without any favorable
result. They sometimes gave temporary
relief until the effects of the medicine
wore off. 1 attributed this to my sedenta
ry habits, being a bookkeeper with little
physical exercise, but I am glad to state
that the tablets have overcome all these
obstacles, for I have gained in flesh, sleep
better and am better in every way. The
above is written not for notoriety, but is
based on actual fact. Respectfully yours,
“A. W. Sharper.
“61 Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind.”
It is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any stomach weakness
or disease except cancer of stomach. They
cure sour stomach, gas, loss of flesh and
appetite, sleeplessness, palpitation, heart
burn, constipation and headache.

The Woodward-Warren Com pan / played
last night to a large and most thoroughly
pleased audience.
It is undoubtedly the 'best equipped pop
ular praee comrany on the road and the
members of ire company are all capable
and cartful riders and actresses.
A matinee will be given this afternoon,
when the ‘ S a Waif” is the bin and a the
night performance “Cheek,” Roland Reed’s
great suce >3s w’ll be presented.
The Woo’.ward- Warren Company will
afford anyone a pleasant aail enjoyable
evening, and while the company is playing
at popular prices it is equal in many re
spects to higher priced attractions that
visit the town.
THE “DEAD HiDRT.”
It goes without saying that James O’Neil
will play to one of the biggest houses of
the season when he apepars fn “The Dead
Heart” at the Academy of Music tomor
row.
James O'Neill’s name is so inseparably
connected with the history of the ramamie
drama in America that the mere an
nouncement that Mr. O’Neill will appear
here in another romantic play should be
sufficient to fill the bouse on Mr. O'Neill’s
visit at the Academy of Music next Fri
day night. The play this time is “The
Dead Heart” which Mr. O'Neill plays in
this country. The action is laid during the
stormy days of the French Revolution and
by employing the services of the well
known scenic artist, Thomson, of Boston.
Mr. O’Neill has succeeded in furnishing a
series of rich and beautiful pictures of
scenes and events in those days. The cos
tumes were designed and made by the fa
mous Hermann, of New York.
THE VAUDEVILLE.
Putzel's Vaudeville has a new program
for the week and has also some new artists
who are capable and attractive.
The vaudeville has been playing to good
business since the opening of the year,
and is better now than ever before in its
history.
The list of artists is especially good and
the performance from beginning to end is
made up of good things.

ANNEXATION,
The Committee on Ordinances
and Resolutions Will Have
Something to Say.
WRY THEY SHOULD COME IN,
Macon's Actual Population Should be
Shown in the Census—Ail Are
Really Citizens of Macon.
If the committee on ordinances and res
olutions, to whom was referred the resolu
tion offered by Alderman Huthnance at the
last meeting of the city council, choose to
do so they can present a very strong re
port on the subject, and will, no doubt, do
so, if they deem it advisable just at this
time to urge the annexation of ali the su
burbs.
The statement has been made that at
present the corporate limits of Macon con
sist of some five thousand acres. This is,
of course, rediculous. There are only
some one thousand two hundred acres in
the corporate limits of Macon, and the
last census gives this territory a popula
tion of 22,000. This, of course, left out
Vineville, East Macon and a very popu
lous portion of South Macon. If these
suburbs are brought in Macon proper
would at once have a population of some
40,000 people, putting a conservative esti
mate on the population of the suburbs at
present. This estimate might go higher
and most probably would.
The great question is to what extent
would Macon be really benefited? The
answer to this is that the danger of small
incorporate towns, which are really Ma
con, and whose inhabitants would reap
the benefits from Macon would be done
away with and that in time the expenses
of government would fall more lightly on
everyone.
The people who live in 'these suburbs
now are jjll business or professional men,
and live* in 'Macon during the day time,
only returning to the suburbs a night.
They enjoy conveniences afforded by the
city and their whole existence is, in a very j
large sense, dependant upon Macon. They
are properly eitizens if Macon and should
allow themselves to be included in the city
without any struggle.
The suburbanites who are struggling to
have self government should profit by the
experience of the suburbs of all cities,
which are ever ready, after a short expe
rience of separate incorporation to enjoy
the privileges of anexation. They invaria
bly pay for their experience and are al
ways glad when it is over.
It is unfair to Macon that her popula
tion should be officially posted at about
one-half what it really is, and it works
as much to the advantage subur
banites as it does to the man who lives
in the center of the city.
Macon properly has a population of
50,000 people and it would look much bet
ter on the books than 22,000.
THIS WEEK
The Attorneys for the South
ern Must File Their
Answer.
The attorneys for the .Southern Railway
will one day this week file the amended an
swer to the amended petition of the mer
chants and citizens of Macon, asking lor
an injunction and receiver for the lines

Southern was given until January 10th in
which to file the amended answer or a
demurred to the amendment offered <by the
counsel for the plaintiffs when the ease
was called in November.
No information is given out as to what
form the answer will take or whether sim
ply a demurrer without an answer will be
filed at this time.
The ease has not yet been set for a hear
ing, but it is thought that Judge Speer
will hear it within the next thirty days.
The Coming Woman.
Who goes to the club while her husband
tends the baby, as well as the good old

NEVER MARRIED
Strange Romance in Jarvis Eldred's
Life.
Monroe, Mich., Jan. 6. —The death of
Jarvis Eldred, the city’s most prominent

gan over half a century ago.
Eldred was born in Dover township, Cu
yahoga county, 0.. November 12th, 18iI2.
In 1838, the year in which he came to this
city, he was betrothed and the wedding
day was set. 'Before 'that day arrived,
however, he was nAified of the ilness of
his betrothed and he hurried to her bed
side, but when he reached there she re
quested him never to marry, and his lonely
life of more than sixty years from that
day tells how well he honored that ilast
request.

RUSSIA'S FIGHTING STENGTH
Compared With Japan's and England's Apro
pos of the Warlike Oriental Situation
New’ York, Jan. 6.—Apropos of the war
like situation in the east and the possible
partition of China by the great powers, the
following statistics of Russia's strength
and Japan and England’s army and navy
will be interesting:
England's present army num
bers all told 715,000 men
Japan’s army now’ serving
with the colors numbers... 234,741 men
Total 1,000,341 men
Russia's total peace footing of
army 835.000 men
Total war footing 2,500.000 men
It is impossible to give any correct idea
of the war footing of Great Britain and of
Japan since, although in ordinary times
the English army is recruited by volun
tary enlistment, a law exists which ena
bles the government, if enlistment does not
yield the required results, to oblige every
able-bodied man between the ages of 20
ana 50 to do compulsory military service.

pear.
St. Louis, Jan. 6.—According to dis
patches from Louisville. Ky„ Miss Cassie
Wilhoyt, who claims to have come from
St. Louis to marry her fiancee, met with
a bitter disappointment there Saturday.
The man in the case, whose name was
given as E. Lawrence Stockton, failed to
appear, and Miss Wilhoyt had to return
to St. Louis without a husband.
The young lady told a romantic story
of her engagement.
“I worked my name in a necktie in the
factory where I was employed,” she said.
“I had forgotten about it, when I received
a letter from Louisville signed E. Law
rence Stockton. He had bought the tie,
he said. The letter was so nice that I fell
in love with Mr. Stockton at once, and
wrote to him at the general delivery. After
a short correspondence I promised to mar
ry him, and he said he would meet mo at
the station here. I came, but did not find
him.”
The name of E. Lawrence Stockton does
not appear in the Louisville directory, and
the young woman did not know -his ad
dress. She gave her address at 2103 Chou
teau avenue, St.. Louis, but there is no
house at that place.

I Want to Paint
I want to jiaint your motal roof with “English Taint. Stops leaks; yes, it do ’’
ts you will extend to me the courtesy of reading this “ad." 1 will, I believe, con
vince you that I 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 I have worked, i. e., when Harvey English paints their
roof with "English Taint Stops Leaks; Yeslt do" they are getting the very best ser
vice, and paint, that money will buy and ata very resonable price.
I do but one kind of work —paint metal roofs —and I do it better than any one else.
This sounds egotistical, and it is, but it's the truth. lu every calling in life there
is some one who is universally recognized as head and shoulders above his fellows.
In every instance it is the one who loves his calling, who has has large experience,
and who has brain capacity to profit by such experience. In roof painting. I am
that man. I prepare my own paint, and know exactly what is in it.
It will stop It aks, prevent rust, acids, protect surfaces.
It won’t crack, blister, run, yecl nor scale off.
it is water proof, spark proof, rust proof, elastic. The color is a chining glossy
black, resembling enamel. It wears longer and gives better protection than the red
mint ral paint in common use.
Ouly one white man and no niggers at all that knows how to make “English
Taint Stops Leaks; Yes It iJo.” i do most of the work myself, and know that it is
well done. I know lrow to do the right thing at the,right time, and Ido it.
I have painted many metal root's 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 warehouse, one acre; Georgia Cotton Oil Com
pany, two acres; Mayo Hotel, one-half acre, and lots and lot 3 of roofs of from one
to fifty squares (100 square feet.)
I am indorsed by the best men of Al- |
bany, Ga.
Albany, Ga., June 5, 1897.
We know Mr. Harvey English to be a i
citizen of Dougherty county, Georgia, a |
property holder therein; that he has done !
a large amount of painting in Albany, Ga.
We have heard of no complaints about his
work. Work entrusted to his hands will
be faithfully executed, and his guarantee
is good. J. T. Hester, tax collector; Sam

Having had Mr. Harvey English to paint
several roofs with his incomparable prep
aration for stopping leaks, it affords me
pleasure to bear testimony to his honest
workmanship and to the fact that “Eng
lish Paint Stops the Leaks; Yes It Do.”

Mr. Harvey English has stopped a very
bad leaking roof for us with his English j
Paint. I recommend his paint to any one j
who is troubled with leaky roofs.

I furnish material, labor, paint the roof for 50 cents a square of 100 square
feet, and give a written guarantee that “If the above named roof leaks or needs
painting at any time within ten years from date, I am to do the work needed without
any expense to owner of building.”
If your are owner, oceppant or agent for property covered with a metal roof,
you need me and my paint. It's no proof that jour roof is all right if it don’t leak.
The man who recognizes i*.-s fact has a good roof, if he uses “English Paint Stops
Leaks; Yes It Do.”
English Paint is a shining, glossy black. English is white, plain white.
Look out for niggers and sorry white men who will claim to be English, or to
use English Paint, Or something as good as English Paint. I will be in Macon
after the holidays. I’d like to talk with you about that leaky roof, or write to me
at Albany, Ga.

Mr. Harvey English painted the roof
I over my hardware store about two years
I ago. He stopped some very bad leaks —
i they were so bad that I did not think they
! could be stopped except with new tin. Eng
lish and his paint are all right and 1 take
pleasure in recommending them to suf
ferers from leaky roofs.

on my house, which leaked badly in many
places.. 1 am well satisfied with his work
and the paint used by him.

Albany, Ga., Nov, 19, 1895.
The roof painting done for me by Mr.
Harvey English has been and still is one
of the roost satisfactory pieces of work
j which I ever had don. He stopped all
leaks in a large tin roof, and there were a
great many. His whole transaction was
fair, business-like and satisfactory. Re
spectfully, A. W. Muse.
Albany, Jan. 28, 1897.
Mr. Harvey English has covered the roof
of the engine room of the Albany Water
works with his roof paint, and I am well
satisfied with the work. He has also dene
some work for me personally, two years
