Mr. D. W. Bagloy’s new residence on
Lee street le nearing completion and
pretents a very handsome appearance

There will probably soon be given at
the Americue Club rooms a fancy dress

style of entertainment is enjoyable and
will prove doubly so on this occasion
from Its novelty.
What about the gymnasium associa-
which several of our young men recent

of good material here, and with slight
effort might be established an athletic
institution second to none In the state.

The train on the S. & W. R. R., from
Columbus yesterday was delayed about
four hours from a forest Are which had
spread until It had burned many of the
cross-ties from under the rails, render
ing it unsafe to proceed until the dam
age was repaired. The stoppage was
made in the woods and to adequately
depict the impatient disgust of the pas
sengers would be impossible.
Mr. C. B. Jones, of Spring Hill, Iowa
says: “I have used Chamberlain’s Pain
Balm for severe and painful burns with
belter effect than anything else I have
ever tried. It relieves the pain instantly
and eures without leaving a scar.” Pain
Balm Is one of the most useful medicines
that any family can be provided with,
especially for rheumatism, lame back,
sprains, bruises, tooth-ache, ear-aehe
and like ailments. One application will
relieve the pain, and a fair trial insure
cure. 50,cent bottles for sale by W. C,

A Sad Death.
Cut off In his prime and glory. Taken
from tho joys of this world In the very
zenith of life. What aching void is left
in the heart whea the eye falls upon his
vacant place. His cheery voice will de
light no more those to whom bis songs
brought joy and gladness. Poor “Billy I”
ho was only a pet canary belonging to
Miss Belle Shaw, but the sight of the
cage in which be used to sing out his
bright little life to the sunny skies, hang
ing empty and silent, brings to the heart
throb of bitter pain. The disease,
which removed him from the busy
haunts of men was rather complicated,
but was chietiy a want of breath.

“Belle of the Suwanee *’
For centuries the old stream wended
Its way lazily on to the Gulf through
tropio land, satlified with the praises of
the red man, happy as the home of the
’gator and the crane, never dreaming of
the morn that It should find Itself fam
ous. But by chance one day the pretty
name was sung, and bas lived everslnoe,
making the hearts of multitudes beat
faster, and bringing tears to the eyes of
borne longing ones. The old Suwanee
hss beon born to greatness and will for
ever live in the mind of man as a beauti
ful “song” river.
Thousands of tourists for years past
have flooded Florida, making for Jack
sonville os tho Mecoa of the South's
pleasure land, and influenced by hotel
guides have spout tbelr time in the
southern portion of the state and over
on the coast, never dreaming of the
most picturesque stream of all that
semi-tropic land. But the restless spirit
of the hunter ever impelling him on to
new discoveries, has led him to explore
the famous stream in search of the alli
gator and the feathered tribe. The tide
of tourist travel to the Suwanee banks
has been steadily on the increase for the
past two years; ’tis hero that tho invalid
finds bubbling from the river’s rocky
bed health giving springs, and an at
mosphere as buoyant and grateful as the
air'of the,Sierras.
If you wish to realize its beauties,
however, you must not stop at the resorts
scattered on its banks; one roust navi
gate its dark brown waters. Like all
noted bodies, this quiet stream has Ita
“belle,” the neat little baek-wheel
steamer “Belle of the Suwanee,” plying
between Lurayvllle and Cedar Keys.
This trip is full of interest to the travel
er—the summer sunshine In mid-winter
making one feel like nature bad fashion
ed the day for him alone, the wonderful
formations of rock along tho high banks,
tho grotesque figures formed by the
smooth current of this stream as it
washes away tho sandstone, the cavos
and grottoes of white, the o’er-bangiug
trees dressed in fancy costumes of Span
ish moss and then, too, the contrasted
beauty of gardens of wild roses, violets
and grassos on the opposite bank; ever
on the lookout for an alligator, so often
seen taking his morning sun bath on
some fallen log, the oraneso gorgeous in
plumage as it seeks some high point of
observation from the neighboring lagoon,
Even the steamer itself as it makes Ita
landings, the shouts and songs of the
negro deck bands, all of the little things
whioh attract the eye and ear for a mo
ment leaving one better pleased with
himself and the world around him; all
of these make the trip seem a short one
as you draw near its end and find your
self among the cedar treos and making
for the oldest seaport town on the east
coast of the gulf, Cedar Keys.
Yes, should you go to Florida take the
adviee of an old traveler, do not forget
the home of the “old folks.” Take
trip on the "Belle of Suwanee,” and
day’s ride will give you thoughts never
to be forgotten, the old song wilt have
for you a new and brighter interest, and
when tho visions of happiness come,
somehow you will think of the quiet,
peaceful day away down on the Su-
waneo.

Returning from Amerious a few days
since, Ur. R. L. Greer, our worthy Or
dinary, discovered that hie cash was ten
dollars short. He had been down to
turnover some money oolleoted from
several negroes, some of them living in
Sumter and some inJIMacon county. In
the division he had paid one of them ten
dollars too muoh, but had no Idea which
one had reeelved the overplus.
He considered the money as good as
lost, but mentioned it to one of the
party who happened to be returning on
the same train.
“Don’t worry boss,’’ [said the fellow,
“I know every one of them niggers,
they are honest, and I tell you that the
money will be returned just as soon as
one of them finds he bas it.” Sure
enough, a letter came next day from J.
W. Russell, of Amerious, one o' the par
ties, stating that in counting his money
he had discovered that he was ten dol
lars ahead and asking Mr. Greer If be
had not made a mistake In counting.
The Ordinary explained that be had and
sent an addressed envelope for its re
turn. Tuesday tho envelope returned
with the money in it. *
Those who believe that there is no
honor in the colored race simply don’t
know thorn all and judge the entire
race by the worst characters among
them.
The editor of the Citizen while driv
ing through Schley county, not long
ago, lost his pocket book containing
papers and money. After searching in
vain for it we finally gave it up is
gone.
Charley Powell, a negro boy about 18
years of age, son of Tom Powell, who
lives four miles east of Ellaville, passing
along the same road found the pocket
book and without any display or ado,
hunted us up and returned the book and
money.
Of course there aie hundreds of ne
groes who are not so scrupulous about
bow they obtain money, yet are there
many others who are aa honest as the
two mentioned.—Mocon County Citizen
