A Prominent Leesburg Merchant Fashed to the Wall. H. C. Odom, a prominent Leesburg merchant, has failed. This was found out by some few In. Amerious Thursday night, and repre sentatives of creditors here were at oneo sent to that place. From these It was ascertained that tbe liabilities amount to (30,000, while Hr. Odom claims (IS,000 assets. There are two mortgages on the stock. Tbe first In the name of Hobbs & Tucker, bankers of Albany, to the amount of (6,000. (4,000 of this amount goes to Hammond,' Hill A Co., of Savannah. The second mortgage amounts In all to about (9,000, and ls to S. R. Weston, Albany, Bank of Southwestern Georgia, of this place, and others. Hobbs <k Tucker also hold a bill of sale to the still and other property. . All the other creditors are unsecured.

The heaviest creditor here Is the Bank of Southwestern Georgia, secured as above mentioned. The largest of the unsecured Is tbe Americas Groeery Company, the amount being (300.

In Americas, Macon and Atlanta there are about (4,000 unsecured. Thus, while Amerious does a big busi ness there, the inerohsuts get off light. There is some talk of the creditors ef fecting a compromise, and letting Mr. Odom continue his business. The failure is attributed to too many outstanding accounts and the crowding of some of the creditors, together with tho inability of Mr. Odom to borrow more money. He states that with a thousand or two more dollars to osrry him through the summer, be could have gone on and made money. THE - A US WILL RUN.
