R. H. Plant has just committed

th^ Plant Son’s bank, recently
placed in the hands of a receiver *
He killed himself at 3:45
o’clock this afternoon by shooting
in the right temple with
a. 38 caliber Smith & Wesson
pistol, expiring immediately.
Mr. Plant was in bis bedroom
attended only by his nurse, whom
be dismissed from his presence on
the pretext that he was thirsty
and wanted a glass of milk,
she left him to secure the milk
from the refrigerator, lie arose
and went to his dresser where he
kept his revolver secreted, Se-
curingposession of it, he recrossed
the room, stepped to an outside
porch, placed the revolver to his
right temple, pulled the trigger
and blew his brains out.
No one was in the room at the
time the act was committed, but
the report of the pistol brought
his family quickly to bis side.
When he was reached life was
extinct.
It bad been feared that he
would commit a rash act. and his
Su!b ftob Plant, watched him
through last night and this morn-
j n «r and had only a short while
before left him.
The news of Mr. Plant’s suicide
spread rapidly through Macon,

took advantage ot excursion given
by the old reliable G. S & F.
Tuesday last and might say, tie w
to where some one has said, you
are constantly fanned by breezes
from the gulf at all times of the
year. Reader, did you ever stop
and think ol - the countless Minus-
and of good people who live and
die at home never having seen
but little of tho beauties that God
has placed in our midst. I have,
and often thought this would be
infinitely a bitter world should
they take advantage of excursions
occasionally, s-e other people
and sections of the country. One
of the principle branches of
study taught in our schools is
Geography. Let me tell you tny
reader, and I speak from exper-
ienee, your children may study
this branch until gray haired and
then know comparatively, noth¬
ing about this sphere, when by
spending a few dollars now and
then on trips from home their
general information and geogra¬
phy of the country would be
greatly enlarged. You exert
yourself and try by every means
to enlarge the melon and other
products, bringing them as near
p< rfection as possible. Why not
oftener think of the mind, suffice
to sav, rear and raise your chil¬
dren exclusively, at home, never
allowing them out of sight on any
pretext, often saving my children
don’t want to go, they being ever
so proficient in their studies.
Once let them mingle with the
Vox Populi, and their ignorance
will be as visible and shine forth
as the morning dew before old
S'd has cast bis morning rays.
►Since the first spike was driven
and the G. S. & F. plowed its way
through our growing and prosper¬
ous town never was there excur¬
sion surpassing it in quietude.
No drunken men parading
through cats, all seemed to be as
one large family bent upon a
pleasant errand. From our midst
a number of prominent citizens
took advantage of said trip,
weighing 340 pounds laying great
strips upon seats not being large
enough, another took umbrage at
being taxed so high for all arti¬
cles bought. Last, named tourist
in strolling dowttoue of the prom¬
inent. streets of Jacksonville
stopped before a curiosity shop,
seeing, a tine speciman of the
canine species, (stuffed) Bull
Dog Pedigree of which I once
heard a lady in N. say he was
partial. Inquired of clerk who
had a bull dog Phiz, bow much
for that dog. Reply, step in sir
and ask the taxidermist. Later
on found him out on the banks of
St. John viewing those beautiful
birds who when pursued by the
Arabian courser sticks his bead
in the sand and imagines itself
safe. Having heard that the Os¬
trich often swallowed pieces of
glass plate, l mquired of keeper

Depot at Tifton Destroyed.
Tifton, Ga.. May 21.—The de-
pot of the Atlantic and Binning-
ham railroad at Tifton was de-
stroved by tire last night about
9 o’clock. Jt is supposed the tire
was caused by a spark from a
passing engine. No one was in
the depot at tin? time and the
flames had made such progress
before they were discovered that
nothing could be saved.
The local office of the company
was in the depot and all the pa-
pers and records were destroyed,
with all freight that was in the
building. The loss of the papers
and records is the most serious
one. The most valuable freight
was several hundred pounds of
copper wire belonging to the Bell
Telephone Company, which ltas
probably worth $2,000.
The total loss on building and
contents was about $4,500, on
no local insurance was car¬
ried, but it is thought the com¬
pany has a blanket policy that
will cover a portion if not all the
loss.
“i>0 IT TO-DAY.
The time-worn injunction,
4 i Never put off ’til to-morrow
what you can do to-day,” is now
generally presented in'this form:
"Do it to-day!’' That is tlie terse
advice we want to give you about
that hacking cough or demoral¬
izing cold with which you have
been struggling for several days,
perhaps weeks . 'Take some relia¬
ble remedy for it to-Day and
let that remedy be Dr Buschee's
German lias been Syrup, which which has
in use for over thirtv-
tive- years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough
or cold, and its continued use for
a few days will cure you com¬
pletely. No matter how deep-
seated i our cough, even if dread
consumption has attacked your
lungs, German Syrup will surely
effect a cure —as it has done be¬
fore in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

Whooping Cough.
“In the spring of 1901 my chil¬
dren had whooping cough,” says
Mrs. D. W. Capps, of Capps, Ala,
“I used Chamberlain’s Cougli
Remedy with the most satisfac¬
tory results. I think this is the
bed remedy I have ever seen for
keeps whooping cough.” This remedy
the cough loose, lessens the
severity and frequency of the
coughing spells and counteracts
any tendency toward pneumonia.
