Bargtars.
Mrs. Sarah Walters, living about three
miles treat of Americus, was swskened
about 12 o’clock Friday night by the
falling of a heavy body. At oneedlvln-
ing the true state of affairs, Mrs. Wal
ters arose and called Mr T. W. Fuller,
who occupies a room In the rear of the
house. When Mr. Fuller arrived be
found that the burglars had made their
escape by jumping through the open
window of the dining room. After an
examination Mrs. Walters discovered
that the thieves had arranged to carry
■off two trunks, but In their hsste were
only able to secure one of the trunks and
a small satchel. Tbe stolen trunk be
longed to Mlta Walters, and contained
clothing to the value of 475 to 4100,
while in the satchel wae a small amount
of money.
A search revealed the fact that the
trank was opened, rifled of Its contents,
and then probably hidden In the woods,
as many small articles Identified by
Miss Walters as having been In It were
found on the road to Americus.
To make sure when all was safe to
commence operations the burglars pull
ed a heavy yard bench under Mr. Fut-
ler’s window, thus commanding a view
of the interior of his room and enabling
them to ascertain when he was safely
A PROSPEROUS YOUNO MAN.
There was quite a collation left upon
tbe dining room table from the previous
meal, and this the thieves devoured
completely.
Tracks In the yard and around tbe
hSnse lead to the supposition that the
theft was committed by a man tr
woman.
As yet no capture has been effected.

as a partner, with only three hundred
dollars. Everything seemed to prosper,
and within twelve months be bought
out Mr. Speer, paying 42,000 cash, and
for tbe put two years he hu been
going It alone. He now bu one of tbe
handsomest bars In southwest Georgia,
the fixtures costing between 41,200 and
41,500. He canles a stock valued at
45,000, consisting of wines, whiskies,
cigars and tobacco; also an Immense line
of loaded and unloaded shells, loading
Implements and material, powder and
shot, tor all of which he pays the cuh.
He Is agent for the famous “Eagle"
brand whisky, for which he bu built
up a very great demand In this section.
And, in fact, he hu the reputation of
keeping tbe best of everything In hla
line, end talking about cold beer, he
keeps it on band fresh snd flue all the
time, and sells more of It than any

parenthesis, that tills Is one of the neat
est and prettiest bars In Americus, with
Walter Harris u manager, and Eugene
Harris clerk, In whloh Is carried a sev
eral thousand dollar stock. Mr. Harris

but mixers of fancy drinks In the State,

Don't Bay, Uello t
A groat many people who answer tele-
pliane calls, fail to comply with the
printed Instructions as to the proper
way to use the telephone, and thereby
cause delay and confusion.
When you answer a call, don’t say
belto?' But as Instructed say, “this Is
number 500 " That Informs tbe party
calling you up that the proper connec
tion has been made How can the call
ing party tell, when you eimply say
hello!" whether you are number 500 or
300 or 130? Improper connections are
often made or old connections not yet
rung off; snd these Instructions If fol
lowed, are the only way to be sure that
you are right as tbe proper basis for
going ahead
A Suggestion.
The Timer-Recorder would make
this suggestion as a possible solution of
the street sprinkling difficulty: That
the merchants sign and present to the
meeting of the city council and water
commissioners to-morrow afternoon a
petition for relief from this grave evil.
The matter will have then assumed a
tangible shape and will in all probability
bo acted upon by the council.
Railroads Going to Grass.
A few years ago, when under the
management of tbe genial and aesthetic
Major Belknap, the Centra] railroad
began to plant grass plats at or near Its
various depots, Major Belknap jestingly
remarked: “If the agents don't raise
grass, we will raise the agents ”
Tbe raising of grass might be advan
tageously started by the Southwestern
Division of the Central all along every
footof Its dusty line; for the experience
of the S. F AW. In raising grass along
its road bed Is certainly most satisfac
tory, according to the Thomasvllle
Times. It says:
"Parties traveling over the lines of the
S. F. A W, have noticed that the road
bed, both on the side and between the
rails, has been allowed to grow up In
grass and weeds. Heretofore the roa I-
bed has been kept perfectly clean and
free from all growth, but experiments
recently made have shown that this was
money spent for nothing, ms the grass
and weeds kept the bed from washing
and the road In line, reducing tbe
amount of labor very considerably and
kept the road In a much better and safer
condition. Railroad men eay that it Is a
big improvement over tbe old plan, not
only In the way of preserving the
roadbed and reducing expenses, but In
tbe comfort of passengers. On portions
of tbe road where the grass has been
allowed to grow, there Is no dust at all,
while it is almost suffocating where the
road is kept clean.”
