CARPETS! RUGS! MATTINGS!
Some Beautiful New Styles Ju&t Added to
th4 Large Stock on Hand.
You have heard a jrreat deal about the advance on Carpets in
consequence of the McKinley bill, and the half has hardly been tola;
but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do aU that I can to
lessen the burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell von
Carpets AS LOTY AS Y<5UEVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD
LESS OF THE TARIFF.
To enable me to do this I sell for CASH, and at MUCH
SHORTER PROFITS than I could do on a CREDIT. I will take
great pleasure in showing my Carpets to everybody.

A QUIET DAT.
Thanksgiving Day Is Spent Quietly In
Americas.
Thanksgiving In Americus was quiet
and uneventful. A graveyard ealmnese
pervaded everything, and the wheels of
business were hushed for one day. The
stores almost without exception closed
their doors and tnraed their employes
loose. Tbe fields were full of sports
men and the slaughter of sparrows and
buzzards is said to be without a parallel,
Divine services were held at the Presby
terian ohurch, under the guidance of
Bev. J. B. Johnstone. The remarks
were timely and appropriate, the minis
ters dwelling in a beautiful manner on
the occasion for the observance, and
alladlngtolte gracious tendencies and
benign influences.
The choir comprised some fine voices
and the music was exceptionally bean
ttfuL
Altogether the day was spent in a
' pleasant, profitable way, refreshing the
tired workers and inviting to renewed
energies and determination.

The grand jury were examining the
books of the various county offloero yes
terday. They found a true bill against
one of the negro murderers, who now
stands a chance of stretching hemp.
Of the 870,220 children of school age

For three hundred feet tbe parachute
will dart through the air, when the can

gradual and comfortable.
Saturday week a girl, 14 years old, will
ascend with a dog, descending by the
parachute.
These exhibitions will continue for a

Lively competition!
A diamond ring tbe award!
One of tbe choice features of tbe

These contests always awaken a world
of rivalry, and every fellow le entbusl
aetio In behalf of his "beet girl."
The voting promises to bo extremely
interesting for various reasons.
It Is rumored that Mir.es Nannie Lou
Hawkins, Jennie Hollis, Hattie Windsor

The polls close on Saturday ni ght

It costs no payment of taxes to qualify
a voter, although it taxes the discrimi,

numberlesss varieties of beauty.
Show your loyalty to your queen of
hearts by polling a hundred ballots for
her if your puree will admit of It.
The prize drill last night was a bright
feature and elicited great enthusiasm
among the many admirers of the soldier
boys. The contest was a warm one, re

Mr. Tom Stallings.
In the raffle for tbe doll, No. 75 or Mr.
Will Lanier drew It. Mr. Lanier made

After the fair closed for last night
dancing was indulged in to a late hour.

ROYAL
IS THE
Best Baking Powder
The Official Government Reports:
The United States Government, after elaborate tests,
reports the Royal Baking Powder to be of greater leav
ening strength than any other. (Bulletin 13, Ag.
Dep.y p. 599.;
The Canadian Official Tests, recendy made, show
the Royal Baking Powdbr highest of all in leavening
strength. (Bulletin 10, p, 16, Inland Rev. Dep.)
In practical use, therefore, the Royal Baking Powder
goes further, makes purer and more perfect food than
any other. -
Government Chemists Certify:
“The Royal Baking Powder is composed of pure and whole
some ingredients. It docs not contain either alum or phosphates, or
other injurious substances. Edward G. Love, Ph. D.”
“Tbe Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the purest and most
reliable baking powder offered to the public.
“Henry A. Mott, M.D., Ph.D.”
“The* Royal Baking Powder is purest in quality and highest in
strength of any baking powder of which I have knowledge.

AN ELEGANT INSTRUMENT
Th. Finest Plano In Sonthwmt Georgia In a
Damon Boms.
Dawson Is certainly one of the most
musiosl towns In the state. 'Represents-
Uve« of musical instrument houses have
worked It for all It Is wprtb, and have
E laced an organ or piano in nearly every
ouse.
Of late there baa been quite a rivalry
among onr beat citixens as to who should
have the fineat Instrument in the city,
and the manufacturers have been pat to
their trumps to get up something fine
enough to fill the orders. At Isst Dr 1
W. C. Paschal has capped the climax, as
It were, and takes the blue ribbon.
He has just received from Sobmer A
Co , Nsw York, through their southern
agents, Messrs. James Flicker A Bro., of
Americus, the finest and most elegant
piano ever seen In this section. Prof. D.
Lockhart, manager of the musical de
partment of Flicker Bros., ordered the
piano and aided in getting up this spe
cial style for this special occasion. It Is
7J octave, cabinet grand, over strung
scale, three stringed repeating action,
very handsomely carved, speoial rich
design of case In white ash, with Hun-,
garian ash trimmings. It produces the
greatest volume of sound and the softest
and sweetest tones of any instrument in
this whole section, and le so beautiful
that the ear and eye are at once eharmed
and enchanted
Dr. Pasebal paid Sl,600 for this piano,
and considers it one of tbe best bargains
of his life. To sit in his elegant parlor
and hear his charming daughter, Miss
Lora—for whom he purchased the in
strument-play some ol her choice se
lections of music, makes a man feel like
he la nearer Heaven than be ever was
before.—Dawaon News.
CAPTURED A BIRD ON THE WING.
William Stevens Arrested on an Unknown
Charge.
The police received a telegram from
Thomaston yesterday giving detailed de
scription of a man named Will Stevens,
white, and ordering his arrest. The po
lice saw a man answering telegraphic
description loitering around our streets
and soon had him in the tolls, Stevens
expressed surprise at his arrest, but
made no attempt to conceal his Identity.
He was carried to the guard house to
await further developments. In appear
ance be Is by no means a tough oustomer,
and has a quiet, Ingratiating manner.
He will doubtless learn. If be does not
now know, whst he Is arrested for in
the morning, and "ob! what a difference
in the morning."
The Jarbaan Performance.
This company played a matinee
Thursday and held the boards at the
opera house Thursday night
"Starlight?* was the play, but the stars
failed to materialize, and by gaslight a
largo and refined audience gazed upon
what only' can be truthfully termed
questionable feminine beanty.
The plot was neither brought out by
'Starlight" nor gaslight It was a gen
eral merry-go-around with no beginning
or ending.
Jarbean possesses no merit as an ao-
tress. She can neither sing nor dance,
and as a hlgh-kleker, according to her
own French standard, the will not paas
muster.
No woman can win fame as a soubrette
without a sweetly-toned, melodious
voiee. Jarbean’* voice la harsh, not
oven possessing the eweet French ac
cent which renders the women of her
nationality so bewltobing. In tights she
poses well and must stage it on her
shape alone.
The comedy-farce waa excellent, and
the beautiful rich tenor voice of Harry
P. Clark was tbe pleasurable feature of
the play.
Misa May Baker, as Luoy, won the au
dience by her sweet ringing and waa the
favorite of the several pretty women of
the oompany, who appeared In tights,
and of course delighted the (esthetic.

The mayor held a lively session yes
terday morning and dlabed'out justice
after the most approved method. As la
usual finite an array of the charcoal va-
variety were on hand to aniwer for deeds
done in tbe body and pay the city for the

Ed Crawford, drqnk and disorderly,
was also continued.
Toliver Blanoh was fined $11 for dis
orderly conduct.
C. A. Beckwith’s case was continued.
Hollio Bryant and Winnie Wright, two
soiled doves, were fined $2.50 and coats
apiece, or the privilege of working the
streets for ten days. They were arrested
for disorderly conduct.
W. F. Hardman was fined S2.50 and
costs for disorderly oonduct.
Dosla Blanch and Toliver Blanoh were
arrested some time In last August for
disorderly conduct, but they have evaded
the dutches of the law for months, and
when arrested Thursday on the same
offense, the mayor also sprung the old
Issue on them, fining Dosla $2.50 and
costs and Toliver $10 and costs.
This oleared the docket and oourt ad'
