REG ('LAIE METING.
Bow Tom Gale. Filled “Stone,” Oil
With Bird Shot.
Yesterday Uessrs. Thomas Gulce and
“Stoney” Glover went out in the country
to shoot doves as they went to roost.
They lost each other In some way and
when Mr. Gulce had a good line shot he
blazed away and unintentionally, of
course, filled Mr. Glover with bird shot.
The wounds were not serious, but the
shot went so deep that tbe physician
called to attend the wounded man decid
ed not to cut them out until later on
when they have festered.
Mr. Glover is not seriously Injured
and regards the affair very lightly,
although Mr. Gulce is shocked at the
accident

A Correction
On yesterday an editorial paragraph
appeared In The Tiwcs-Recorder, con
corning Governor Northen, which by
reason of a blunder made by the com
positor and overlooked by tbe proof
reader, Mr. Conoley, is reproduced to
day. Where the word “Alliance” ap
peared yesterday, the editor bad plainly
written the words “piles of;” anil the
substitution was unintentionally made
by me In setting up the copy. The word
'Alliance” was not in tbo copy before
me. J. G. McDonald,

Something to Flense tbe Ladles.
The Avera Grocery Company ha9 this
day originated a new Idea in advertising.
Something that will not only advertise
their magnificent stock of fine goods,
but will nlso be of benefit to the publlo
generally. Ladles are troubled a great
deal about what to cook. How often do
you hear tho expression, “Oh, I don’t
know what to have for dinner or sup
per,” as the caso may be. This accom
modating firm will try to obviate this
troublo by publishing in their column
evory day a new receipt for a good
wholesome and Inexpensive dish. These
receipts will not be old stale compli
cated cook book receipts, but will be
something new. A different receipt
will be published every day, and the
{ ’oods to fill these will always bo on
iaad at

Mr. Joseph !Y»*.lb* uol ’s Body Interred In
New York.
Joseph Waxelbsum, who died sudden
ly in Macon last Wednesday, was buried
In New York day before yesterday.
Mr. Waxelbffnm was a director in the
Monteliore Home for Chronic Invalids of
New York. He was well-known In
Americus and Savannah and left a num
ber of relatives In tbe latter place. He
married a sister of S. A. Einstein, of Sa
vannah, who survives him.
Mr. Waxelbaum has b en largely
identified with commercial enterprises
in Georgia, and was well and favorably
known throughout the state. He was for
years one of tho leading merchants of
Americus and, although he did not re
side here, he was widely known by repu
tation throughout this section, and his
death was regretted by a large elide of
friends and acquaintances.
He did a mercantile business in Amcri-
cus until four years ago when Mr. Geo,
D. Wheatley purchased the building
now occupied by him from Mr. Waxel
baum, and also the stock of goods then
in it. The location of the store Is even
still spoken of as “Waxelbaum’a corner.”

Wo have just opened the nicest lot of

A Belle of the War Found at Anderson
vllle.
Last night Sumter Tondee brought an
old pistol to The
office.
He found it, partially buried, at An-
dersonviile last Sunday. When discov
ered It was sticking, muzzle downward,
in a marshy spot, and it still contains
ono bullet.
The handle lias been destroyed by age
and exposure but, although very much
rusted, it is still otherwise intact, and
could very probably be made an excel
lent weapon.
Northern museums would pay a large
price for the old pistol, and Tondee says
he will at once negotiate for Us sale.
