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. DESERTED FARMS A New Means of New England Philanthropy Will be Used. New York, Jan. 6.—New England’s aban doned farms arc to be reclaimed, restocked and reoperated on a plan that is primarily philanthropic, and, secondly, commercial. A corporation has been formed, with the secretary of the New York Stock Exchange at its head, to -purchase arable land and farm buildings in the states of Massachu setts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont, and to resell both on such terms as to attract purchasers in large cities and so relieve the congested centers of popula tion.

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.

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. GONE INTO BUSINESS. Mr. R. L. Netherton Will Conduct a General Supply Business on Poplar Street. Mr. R. L.

CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA INTKHKSTING JCXPI.It IEX CH OF AN IN ill IHAI’OIJS GKMU.MAN. To Gain Flesh, to Slm-ii Well, to Know Wliat Appetite ail Good Digestion Mean, Make :» l est ol »t unit’s 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 “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.

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 claimed to 'be illegally held by the South ern. Linder the order of the court the 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 fashioned woman who looks after her home, will at times get run down in health.

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.

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. Cj S '2L- vIHT. _A_. 72s sis- /? , r simile s/fT. T l A e * HANNA A COAL KING. Pittstburg, Jan. 6. —Mark Hanna is the coal king of the Pittsburg district.

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.

Dear Sir; The work which you did for me gives perfect satisfaction —all the leaks arc entirely stopped, and no sign of one re maining.

Albany, Ga., Jan. 29, 1897. 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.” Joseph S.

I recommend his paint to any one j who is troubled with leaky roofs. Georgia Cotton Oil Co., Albany Mill. F. Whire, Sunt. ! 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. HARVEIV ENGLISH. G.
