EFFORT IS MADE TO
FORM A COMPANY
Americus To Continue Games
Here.
STOCK COMPANY IS ORGANIZED
Thousand Dollars is Subscribed to
Baseball Association —Local Men to
Manage Team In Future if Under
taking Is Successful.
Americas men at the head of the
Americas ball team, with brains be
hind the ba% money in the till and a
crack team in the field, the Americas
faDS are going to see the best ball yet
played here if plans now maturing are
fully carried into tfl.cb
Americas ball enthusiasts are going
to path the movement to success.
One thousand dollars will be the cap
ital stock of the Americus Baseball As
sociation, a regularly chartered com
pany, which proposes to take over the
management of the local team.
An enthusiastic meeting ( f local ball
men was Le!d a night or two sinee and
the situation d scussed at leng h The
proposition to organ zj a local stock
oompany met with instant favor, and
many shares cf the stock wtre sub
scribt d r n the spot.
Toe capital stock will be SI.(MX), divi
ded into 100 shares of $lO each. I was
stated ye6te)d»y that all the stock,
practically, bad been taken
The proposition is to secure the fran
cht6e of the Americus club, and with
ample funds for the employment of
capable p’ajers put the club upon a
sound basis for the balance of the ball
season.
Americas has given the team here
solid snpport, and is in nowise respon
sible for past financial failures. But
it will do even more by backing up
the club now with a stock oompaDy in
which some of the best business men
of the city are interested.
The enterprise will be a great > access
and the Americas ball mec, assured
of gettirg their pay, will be inspired
to win and thus put Americns to the
front in ball playing.
HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
When It Ia Free of Dandruff, It Growi
Luxuriantly.
Kair preparations and dandruff cures,
as a rule, are sticky or irritating affairs
that jio no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased, grows naturally, luxuriantly.
Dandruff is the cause of nine-tenths of
all hair trouble, and dandruff is caused
by a germ. The only way to cure dand
ruff is to kill the germ; and, so far, the
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ is Newbro’s Herpicide—
absolutely harmless, free from grease,
sediment, dye matter or dangerous drugs.
It allays itching instantly; makes hair
glossy and soft as silk. “Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect.”. Sold by
leading druggists. Send 10c. in stamps for
sample to The Herpicide Co., Detroit,

The Wisdom of Animals.
You cannot induce a lower animal to

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by I> cal applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
Tbere is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this tube is in Aimed
you have a rumbling sound of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be distroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Tatarrb,
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s
