THE PITH AND POINT
OF WHAT IS SAID
By People of Americus in Various
Walks.
TALKED WHILE THEY TRADED
A Roundup Os The News and Gossip
of a Day Here in Americas A
Bunch of Little Tales Whacked off
Quite Short.
Georgia Seed Rye, Buist’e turnip
Heed. Hudson’s Drug Store.
Americas will put on a street carni
val appearance today and tomorrow.
Each will be a red letter, day in local
trade circles.
Tomorrow will be the banner day of
the cotton season in Americus, and
warehousemen count upon at least a
thousand bales.
Each member of the city aldermanic
board now carries a hatchet in his
jeans, and is seeking an opportunity
wherein to use it.
Albany is going to have a street fair
and Americus a big circus. Thus hon
ors are easy, and we can afford to see
each other’s attraction.
Webster court will end today. The
cession has not been a very lengthy
one, as there was no great amount of
business for consideration.
A negro man attired in convict garb
walked about the streets yesterday.
Probably the suit felt so comfortable
he disliked to throw it away.
The previous citizen who had dis
carded his summer raiment for the
garb of winter felt a trifle uncomfort
able in yesterday’s sunshine.
An Americus shoe clerk says that an
experienced mother always coughs
slightly before going in the parlor
where her daughter’s beau is.
About all the chickens consumed in
Americus now are shipped here from
Gainesville, Ga. We raise cotton
here, but seemingly little else.
While scarlet fever still exists in
Americus, the number of cases report
ed are not so numerous as heretofore.
There are two deaths this week.
The Colored Masonic Grand Lodge
of the state, in session here this week,
wound up all official business yester
day and adjourned for the time.
Several Americus people went to At
lanta yesterday to take in the Fulton
County fair, and be taken in by the
fakes which usually abound there.
A Fiendish Attack.
An attack was lately made on C. F.
Collier of Cherokee, lowa, that nearly
proved fatal. It esme through his kid
neys. His back got so lame he could
not stoop without great pain, nor sit in
a chair except propped by cushions. No
remedy helped him until he tried Elec
tric Bitters which effected such a won
derful change that he writes he feels
like a new man. This marvelous medi
cine cures backache and kidney trouble,
purifies the blood and builds up your
health. Only 50c at E, J. Eldridge’s
drugstore.
GATEWOOD AFTER A PRISONER,
■Goes to Dooly After Man Held Upon
Suspicion.
The recent horse-stealing case here,
wherein a stranger hired a horse at a
livery stable and failed to return the
animal,which was afterwards recovered
in Hawkinsville where it had been sold
to a citizen of that town, is remem
bered by all here. Yesterday Deputy
Sheriff Gatewood was sent to Arabi,
Dooly county, where a man suspected
of having carried away the horse was
held in custody. He is a white man of
good appearance and goes by the not
uncommon name of Smith. Deputy
Gatewood will return here today with
his prisoner.

Tuesday night, Oct, 15, at midnight,

Jordan, of Columbus. Mr. Jordan was
railroad commissioner just prior to
Mr. Crenshaw, the latter succeeding
him. He will probably be sworn in
by Gov. Candler.

Bears the /y The Kind You Have Always Bought
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1901.
A CONFERENCE WITH COUNCIL.
Police Board and School Board to Meet
That Body,
The Board of Education, Board of
Police Commissioners and the City
Council of Americus are to meet in
joint conference to discuss the finan
cial dilemma now confronting the mu
nicipality with the end in view of
bringing about a reduction of expendi
tures, if possible.
This conference was to have been
held at city hall last night,
However, at the request of the Board
of Education the meeting was deferred
for a day or two until that body could
obtain certain information desired.
The men composing these bodies are
among our best citizens and heaviest
taxpayers. They appreciate the grav
ity of the situation, and doubtless each
board will willingly cooperate with the
council to the end of bridging over our
financial difficulties and getting affairs
of the city upon a better basis.
Retrenchment is an absolute necess
ity, and so realized by the council and
our people generally. Bills cannot be
paid without money.
And just now there is not an avail
able dollar in the till.
It is not known yet what decision
these bodies will arrive at, but surely
some plan will be formulated whereby
our temporary embarrassment can be
bridged over and the city’s empty cash
box again repieted.
What’s Your Face Worth?
Sometimes a fortune, but never, if you
have complexion, a jaundiced
look, morth patches and blotches on the
skin,—all signs of Liver Trouble. But
Dr. King’s New Life Pills give clear
skin, rosy cheeks, rich complexion,
Only 25c cents at E. J. Eldridge’s drug
store.
STILL CONTINUES TO ADVANCE.
Cotton Gained a Dozen Points Yester
day.
Utterly routing the bear forces, the
horned element took possession of the
cotton market yesterday and landed it
high and dry above the eight cent
mark for January contracts, where it is
likely to remain the balance of the sea
son. In fact, Americus cotton men
are talking about nine cent cotton be
fore Christmas. Americus buyers
readily paid 7§ cents for good mid
dlings yesterday, and not a few of the
437 bales received at the warehouses
here classed that high. January cot
ton closed at 8:09 and very steady in
tone.
Will pay 25c hundred for Consitu
tion wage-earners coupons. Bring to
507 Jackson street.
NAME OFFICERS AND ADJOURN.
Colored Grand Lodge of State Has
Election.
The Colored Masonic Grand Lodge
of Georgia, after the annual election
of officers yesterday, adjourned to

Atlanta, was re-elected grand master;

grand master; Floyd Snelson, grand
junior warden; G. L. Bowen, treasur

Another Large Congregation There
Last Night.
The services at the tent on hotel
park appear to grow in interest, to
judge by the increased attendance
daily. Both the morning' and after
noon services yesterday jvere largely
attended while the tent was filled to
the doors at the night meeting. The
excellent singing is also a great fea
ture of the revival. The hours of ser
vice remain the fame; 10 a.m. 3 and 7.30

Kindly Take Notice that Ely’s
Liquid Cream Balm is of great benefit
to those sufferers from nasal catarrh
who cannot inhale freely through the
nose, but must treat themselves by
spraying. Liquid Cream Balm differs
in form, but not medicinally from the
Cream Balm that has stood for years at
the head of remedies for catarrh. It
may be used in any nasal atomizer.
The price, including a spraying tube,
is 75 cts. Sold by dauggists and mail

A SHORTAGE OF FREIGHT CARS.
Cotton Shipments are Delayed On
This Account.
Complaints have reached the Rail
road Commission that there is a freight
car famine in Georgia, and cars cannot
be secured to transport the cotton
crop. This situation of affairs occurs
now almost every year. The railroads
of course, will do everything possible
to remedy it, and it is not likely that
the railroad commission will take any
action in the matter.
