Enables Them to lake Advantage of the Great Fire Snle of Shoes I at Ross Sims & Co. _i The work of paying off the soldier boys ai Camp Fornace will be well under way tomorrow. Naturally this is an event of great importance to the boys in blue. They have served their country' faithfully and they deserve what is coining to them. In kict, they deserve even more. FOl this reason rt is most gratifying to note that pay day, coming just a-t this time, has a double meaning for ihe soldiers. Naturally each of them is interested in making his money go furrherest; if three ■ dollar- will buy what he would usually , have to pay $5 for. be is just .$2 better off : than he expected. He has just that much more “Christinas money’’ lef’ to him; just that much more to spend for some nice present for mother or sister at home. The iNews 'takes, pleasure in directing i the attention of the soldier boys to an op portunity to make three dollars do ihe work of five. At, least in the matter of | shoes; and the shoe bill is quite an item ' with the soldier. Constant marching and ! exposure demand stout, strong, wearable j Fh.'cs. Unless they have these qualities j the snoe bill is considerable. Especially Joes this sort' of weather make the subject of shoes paramount to all | others. There will probably be more | shot s bought in Macon during -the next 1 seven days than in any one week in the history of the city. It is fortunate that just 'at this time i there is an $85,000 stock of shoes thrown I on 'the market at “fire sale” prices—<uiy- ; where from 33 1-3 to .'>o per cent oft on j I every pair, and the shoes not damaged in | the least. 1 Ross Sims & Co., whose large wholesale I and retail establishment, corner Third j 1 street and Bargain Lane, is an ornament io any city, suffered a loss by fire on the third story of their building a few weeks I ago. While none of 'the shoes on the first ami second floors were damaged at all, the "very fact that a fire occurred in the build | ing injured the “selling value” of every pair of shoes in the house. Hence the lib- I era! settlement made by t.he insurance companies, and hence the liberal discounts I offered by Messrs Sims & Co. 'ihe knife was applied deep. Not a cent of profit was left on anything. In fact . “below cost” is the rule in cv-ry depart- I merit. Six dollar shoes are going for four, ‘ five dollar shoes tor three, and so on. Just the sort of shoes 'that cost you the reguar ■ price anywhere else. But perhaps the thing that will most in terest the soldier boys is rubber boots. For 1 the accommodation of the soldiers Mr. Sims recently ordered a large lot of these j boots, having already sold out 400 pairs. Instead of asking 'the regular price he let | them go in at the “fire price,” which • makes them $2.50 in stead of $3.50, as 1 charged elsewhere. Just the same boot the very bed that is sold elsewhere, and yet the soldier saves a dollar on every •pa i r. Ross Sims & Co. propose to make every two dollars spent by the soldiers for shoes Jo the wcrok or three, and in some in- I stances four. See their advertisement elsewhere in to day's News. PANSY CIRCLE. Arranging to Make Glad the Hearts of the Poor. The Pansy Circle will hold its regular meeting at the Public Library tomorrow morning. No meeting was held last Satur -1 day on account of the inclement weather but the young ladies who compose the cir cle are determined to meet tomorrow morning rain or shine. They will discuss their plans for the en -1 tertainment of the poor children during Christmas and committees will be appoint 'ed to solicit subscriptions to help them. Many people have already contributed to [ their fund and they are counting on re ; ceiving a great deal more. PUT IN ORDER. » Library Directors Bringing the Institution to a High Standard. The Macon library will soon be one of , the best in the country. For some time past the directors have -been at work get ting the books in shape and the library ' now has a neat appearance and all of rhe j books that were once in bad condition have i been dusted and arranged so that they can ! I be found at once. I In examining the books yesterday an old book of steel engravings of the characters ' in Shakespeare's plays was found. The value of this book is about $1,500. and it j is said that there are very few in the coun- ■ try. Several other valuable bcoks were ! ( found. They have been fixed up and are j now in a convenient place in the library. The directors intend to get in all of the new books and to buy none but the best. The ci-tizens are giving the directors much encouragement and have shown recently that the city is interested in the library. Mr. Iverson Harris has given much of his time to the library recently to the work and he said this morning that he thought tat in a year's time the Macon li brary would be cue of the best in the ‘ country. . . j FIRST GOLD REFINER DEAD.

' of Pharsalia. who went West last spring and who was reported to have been drown i ed, has returned to his home. When Mrs. j Smi.th heard that her husband was dead t she applied to a local lodge of the Ancient j Order of United Workman for the amount i of his insurance DOlicv, but it was not ' paid. When Smith returned one of this first acts was to pay his lodge assessments. His brother was arrested in Baldwin, Mich., last* week charged with robbing a grave and palming off the body to an in surance company as that of Andy Smith, but was acquitted for lack of evidence. New Home Sewing Machines. J. R. Bur ; nett,. RACE WITH LOCOMOTIVES. Many Wild Anhnah Make u trial of Speed nt Running through the forest and swamp lands of Ohio and Indiana, the engineers and firemen who watch ahead of the great engines that haul the flying express trains see many wild animals dashing along the track, and frequently nizens of the xor i ests are run down, and the trackmen find their mangled remains in the morning, i Coons, wildcats rabbits and sometimes tvones are caught by the fast flying limit ed trains, and even sly reynard. with all his cunning, is often ground up under the wheels. lor many miles the Baltimore and ! Ohio, Fort Wayne and Lake Shore roads [ run through a wild, swampy woodland country in western Ohio and Indiana. These densely wooded swamps are almost impenetrable, and they harbor nearly all /kinds of indigenous wild animals and birds. In the moonlight or by the aid of ’.he headlight the animals can be seen scampering across the Slacks, and often the foolish rabbit takes to the middle of the track between the rails and races the locomotive for miles until he plunges into : a culvert or a bridge. “It has occurred to me several times in my railroad experience.” sixid the old en gineer, “that the American skunk can j make himself conspicuous longer and louder than any other living thing. Fre quently as we fly along <SO miles an hour through the gloom of night a little wab . bling body, dark and gray, is seen by the glare of the headlight running diagonally across the track. The animal may possi bly by quick action and a skillful maneu ver escape the wheels, and distantly our nostrils are saluted with an overpowering scent which almost makes us faint. We are 200 yards away from the cause of the smell in an instant, but it clings to us for miles, and the passengers in the cars who are awake wonder what kina of oil is burning in the supposed hoi boxes. If we happen to kill the little animal, his meni- I ory clings to us still for at least five miles.” | One night a few weeks ago, as the flying fast mail on the Lake Shorv as making up lost time across the Indiana swamps, a big red fox dashed out ahead of the ioco | motive and rook the straight, level track ; right ahead of the train. In another in stant a great black anu tan hound, with his tongue protruding and his long, lank body stretched out at full speed, took the roadbed just sfi feet behind the fox. More | steam was turned on. and with their heads out the engineer and fireman watched the contest of speed. It was a grand race be • tween the two animals, with the mighty engine coming close after them < 5 miles an hour and the headlight showing the fleet fox straining every limb and muscle, and his enemy slowly falling behind. The old hound appeared to know that there was danger in his rear and took to the west bound track, and in another minute tl>' rushing train went past him. but the fox, taking advantage of the complication, disappeared in the woods again. ‘ Cm the Pennsylvania railroad cast of Al toona a few weeks ago the track inspector found the remains of a wildcat ou the track, and on rhe Philadelphia and Erie away up Ixeyond Lock Haven last winter a large black bear ran cut in front of a freight train and was killed. Deer are often seen crossing the Philadelphia and . Erie tracks in the Pennsylvania moun tains, and in the wild, lonesome places where the trains stop to water, if the at -1 tentive passenger who is awake will put his head out of the window and listen, ht will hear the scream of the jianther ani the larstfflf of the owl.—Pittsburg I u*L.
