Now is the time to buy your
suits, either for Men, Youths
or Children, as we will show
you prices never before seen
in Americus. Our gre^t sale of

hope to close out the entire
stock by January .ist, if low
prices on good goods consti
tute any attraction.
We have had an immense
trade the past week in Over
coats, but in consequence of
new arrivals in this deparment,
we are still prepared to offer
you ( a stock that cannot be
equaled in variety, and at
prices that you will be sure to
find agreeable to the times.
We have some special at

We want to close out a big
lot of these before removal,and
will offer at prices that will be
sure to move them rapidly.
Bring on the boys and fix
them up. It is predicted that
we are to have an unusually
severe winter, so I give you
good advice: Take care of the
boys’ comfort and save big
doctor’s bills. “An ounce of
prevention is worth about a
ton of cure.
Remember we are closing
out several lines of

Fall and Winter season, and
soliciting a continuance of the

She Trmnif.rred .furl, All Her Property
to an Incorporated Organisation Called
-The Tyler Estate”— Real Ketate la
Several Cities.
Among the property Item* which the
city ia trying to acquire title to for the
proponed Ninth regiment armory in
Fourteenth street is a lot lielonging to
the Tyler estate. The Tyler estate la a
novelty among the corporations of the
country It is not the estate of a de
ceased person, ns one would naturally
niter from the title, but is the estate of
a wealthy western widow, who has had
her real estate holdings capitalised and
a stock company formed to take and hold
the titles to it Her object is said to be
to so arrange the titles to her property
that when she comes to dispose of it by
her will there will be the least possible
opportunity left to disappointed relatives
to contest her will and drag ber name
und private history into the courts and
Vfcre the piiblfo.
The certilicute of incorporation of the
estate recites that it was organised un
der the laws of Missouri as a corporation
for manufacturing and business pur
pose^ and is called “The Tyler Estate."
It was organised under the legal advice
and direction of Henry Hitchcock, of the
8t Louis bar. a lawyer of thht western
city, who is said to bare assured his cli
ent that the laws of Missouri authorised
the organization and formal incorpora
tion of real estate corporations.
The founder and principal proprietor
of the Tyler estate is Mrs. Mary Law
rence Tyler, widow of Robert Tyler, of
Lonisville. She is said to be worth sev
eral millions, principally in lands and
property in this city, Philadelphia, Lou
isville, St Loots and other places, all of
which, however, she has conveyed to the
Tyler estate, taking the stock of the pe
culiar corporation in payment The es
tate is capitalised at $300,000, bnt that
does not begin to represent the actual
value of the property it owns
THE LAW IN SEVERAL STATES.
The real estate records of this county
show the transfer of two pieces of prop
erty to the estate by Mrs. Tyler in Feb
ruary, 1888, the time when the corpora
tion was formed. One of the items is
the lot in Fourteenth street, which is
wanted by the city for armory purposes,
and the other is a business building anil
lot In Urosby street, between Broome and
Spring streets. The city authorities and
the representatives of the estate could
not agree upon the price to .be paid by
the dty for the Fourteenth street lot and
condemnation proceedings have there
fore been began, wherein the price will
be fixed by a commission.
Bnt the principal interest In the affair
attaches to the corporation itself.. Many
devices have been resorted to in times
past by wealthy people who had large
estate* to dispose of by will to prevent
the qosrreiiDg of heirs over the manner
in which the property has' been 'distrib
uted by the owner in his or her will, bnt
this tathe Bnt instance ever beard of In
which a private person, having no desire
or intention of going into business, where
some occasion for forming a limited lia
bility corporation might exist, bos vol
untarily bad her property capitalized
and represented in stocks snd bonds.
In some of the states corporations for
the purpose of holding titles to real es
tate are prohibited by law. New York
ia aatd to be one of these states and Illi
nois another. Bnt they are apparently
sanctioned by the laws of Missouri, and
the laws or this state permit the holding
of title to real estate by any corporation
organised under the laws of any other
state, the laws of which authorize the
existence of a corporation for the pur-
pose stated. . , ,
HOW TIW SCHBU MAY.WORK.
Who the present officers of the Tyler
estate sre could nor be ascertained, ndr
any statement regarding the details of
the organisation—whether the corpora,
tion has more than one executive officer,
bow the property is managed by the
officers, or in what number fHrijtfere of
real estate belonging to'such a co .
tion could be made so as not to affect the
valne of ita shares or to impair the aecnr.
tty of the bonds How long a life snch
a corporation could have is a question,
furthermore, which no lawyer bonk] an
swer offhand.
But it is claimed for it that the prop
erty can in this manner be held together
for long periods of years, whereas, un
der ordinary conditions, no sooner is s
wealthy person's will filed for probate
than a tong contest begins in the courts
between the vsriona heirs over the man
ner of ita distribution among them.
By incorporating, as Mrs Tyler has
done, it ia declared that all trouble of
this character is done away with. Tbs
testatrix wills not ber property, bnt s
certain number of shares of ber estate
to each heir, who is limited by bit op
portunities to either accept or reject
This, however, still lean* the
contesting heirs opportunities to fight
over the distribution of the shares.
Bnt Mrs. Tyler expects to get the bet
ter of this class of heirs by giving sway
the shares to the persons she desires to
hare them before ber demise. The cor
poration, as said, is a novel one, bnt,
like tbs trout, may prove to be only the
forerunner of many which will be or
ganized as soon as the legal statue of the
Tyler estate shall have been passed upon
by some competent legal tribunal—New
York Time*.

Boa Onto* Queries.
Charley Metcalfe was telling some
stories illustrative of the box office man's
tribulations, -if ft weren't for some
people's dirty thumbs," sold he. “I'd
wish the Lord bad made me in book
form I don't put in innch time in the
box office, bnt the few minntes I am
there is enough for a lifetime. The
average ticket buyer asks enough inane
questions, but what do yon think of a
man who sticks his head through the
window and wants to know the name of
a big steamer he saw going down the
East river day before yesterday? Well,
my boy. that's what happened this very
morning, and that's Dot a marker to
the questions some people ask either.

paragraph which has been going the
ronnils of the papers, with divers and
sundry changes rang on it. ever since
can remember, and goodness knows how
ranch longer,” said a charming little
woman as she opened the mousetrap
and let two or three of its occupants out
into the jaws of a bomber of hungry kit
tens. “1 wonder who started it any
way? Of connte there are women who
are afraid of mice, no donbt, bnt I never
saw a woman wake herself more ridicn-

Reaarkabla Past or Strong!.,.
E. P. Kendall gave a remarkable ex
hibltion of bis skill and strength with a
ten-pound dumbbell at noontime. He
matched himself against eight strong
men employed upon the grade work
about the county court house, and
agreed to pnt np from shoulder to arm’s
length a ten-ponnil dumbbell more times
than the eight men could. Kendall ha*
a Umb which makes it necessary for him
to use crotches, and as he is of very
slight bnild the result of the contest ap
peared to be a foregone conclusion.
One after another the eight men took
their places, Kendall keeping time with
each one, and after the eighth bad
dropped his arm from sheer exhaustion
Kendall smiled pleasantly and ran np
hisacoreof consecutive lifts to an even
1.000. His best score with a twelve-pound
bell is 3.600 lifts, and he has a brother
who holds the world's championship.—
