Visitors to Mexico and other tropical countries often have their attention called to “the strangling fig*’—a tree that commences its growth as an epi phyte—that is, one form of plant lift that"grows perched on another —far up on the trunk or among the branches of another tree, usually on a palmetto or some of the kinds of palms. The roots of the strangling tree extend down ward around the host tree to the ground, gradually joining together, making a tubelike mass of roots some times as much as six feet or more in diameter. When the attacked tree is a palm death to it is caused not so much by the binding around the trunk as by shad ing out its branches by the attacking tree. When the attacked tree is an exogeu —that is, one with wood and bark—the attacking roots bind so tightly as to cause a stoppage of the flow of the sap. As the sap of a tree is really its food (changed by the leaves so that it can be used) and the flow of the. food is thus stopped, the attacked tree ys real ly “starved” to death. So death to the attacked tree is caused either by smothering or by starvation or by both. The peculiar manner in which the flattened roots extend down and around the tree give them the appearance of . some thick, slow flowing material run ning down the tree.—St. Nicholas.

The picture show at the opera house tonight, depicting the passion play, and doubtless a well pleased audience will attend. There are things a woman will not eat because they ruin her complexion, but a man never refuses a drink for a similar reason. If Americus continues to pulldown the balconies along her streets the Ro meo Julietical stum will have to be cut out here entirely. The temperature is vindication for any self-respecting ground hog, and ought to convince those who sneer at every superstition. There will be trouble for the doves in the baited fields of Wilcox this morn ing. Col. Roney and Col. Stallings are both upon the scene. The average citizen, as he waded in the mud yesterday,doubtless wondered why Americus had not paved her busi ness streets long ago. Sol did a little business in Americus yesterday and may have bluffed that blizzard. At all events the situation was much improved. Valentine day drawetli near and the Americus spinsterette, who was brewed before valentines were invented, shows signs of nervousness. Camp Sumter held its monthly meet ing yesterday with a good attendance, the veterans transacting considerable routine business only. Let the work of paving the streets of Americus be determined. It is a great work. Every dollar spent in this way is money well invested. The “Message Prom Mars” attraction Avill be numbered among the best in Americus this season, and a tine audience will welcome it. The board of directors of the Hotel Windsor Co. met yesterday in regular session, disposing of considerable bus iness regarding that property.

Mr. .lames Callaway, the able exj ponent of the Telegraph, came with the sunshine yesterday, and was equally welcomed in Americus.

Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our citizens are telling the good news of their experience with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an example worth reading: Preston, Ga. Foster-Milburn Co., Gentlemen: —Yon can state through the newspapers that I have used your Doan’s Kidney Pills and I found them a most excellent remedy. They placed my kidneys in good condition after 1 had used less than a box, and I know 1 t was getting in bad shape on account > of weak kidneys. Every morning the , kidney secretions would be very thick and contained a sandy sediment. My , wife insisted that I use Doan’s Kidney Pills as she heard them well spoken of, 1 and I sent and got a box at Dodson’s > Drug Store in Amerieus. Though I thought they were like other advertis > ed remedies, I cart say they have done me more good than anything else I have ever taken. I am glad I used them. I recommend them to anybody i suffering from kidney trouble. J. F. Wright, Preston, Ga. f For sale by all dealers. Price 50 - cents.

That “competition” does not always bring about desired results is abund antly evidenced now in the fact that, with two ice factories idle, Americus has been entirely without ice for many months, except scant supplies shipped here frow other towns. Cordele and Macon have supplied "Americus for a long while, and are continuing to do so. Ot course consumers are charged a higher price, owing to transportation charges, but ice has been a necessity, and people must have it no matter what price is demanded. Throughout the month of January, when the weather was as warm as in April, it was necessary for Americus dealers to send to Macon or Cordele for ice, and this is still the requirement. Only yesterday a shipment was made here from another city. Many farmers recently could have saved their meat supply had it been possible to get ice here, but it could not be had. One farmer did purchase a large supply in Cordele, which was shipped here Saturday with the freight charges added. Even in cases of sickness, no doubt, it has been difficult to get a small bit of ice, while oftimes the soda fountains have run out entirely. Why not let the Board of Trade investigate this very serious problem for Americus? A Valuable Lesson. “Six years ago I learned a valuable lesson, “writes John Pleasant, of Mag nolia, Ind. “I then began taking Dr. King’s New Life Pills, and the longer 1 take them the better I find them.” They please everybody.

What is Americus going to do with the people who will soon come crowd ing here, either seeking employment upon buildings and enterprises to be erected, or seeking a place of residence for educational or business purposes. Already rents are away up, and while several hundred dwellings have been erected within the past year or two the demand is far more, In addi tion to these, private parties are build ing small houses in the city and suburbs in order to supply the increas ing demands. There lias been a steady advance in rents during the past few months, which fact has encouraged property owners to build more houses, notwithstanding the fact that lumber is high and good material hard to get in this section. The editor of the Memphis, Tenn., “Times” writes: “In my opinion Foley’s Honey and Tar is the best rem edy for coughs, colds and lung trouble, and to my own personal knowledge Foley’s Honey and Tar has accomplish ed many permanent cures that have been little short of marvellous.” Re fuse any but the genuine in the yellow package.
