HOME FOR OLD LADIES
IS OPENED IN CTY
Neat Cottage is Leased
Already.
SOME FURNITURE IS WANTED
Ghristian Ladies Have Established a
Comfortable Home in Americus
for Old Ladies-Long Been
Needed.
Assistance is needed for the Old
Radies Home on Prince street, recently
established by Mrs. J. P. Wardlaw’s
class in tlie Methodist Sunday School.
A comfortable cottage lias been
rented for sls a month, and two old
ladies installed therein, one of them
has been quite ill of late, requiring
especial attention and additional out
lay of money.
The home has long been needed in
Americus and it is the belief that it
wiil gradually grow into an institution
of importance.
Money is needed to cur
rent expenses of the home. It costs
about $7 a month to care for one old
lady, that is,for food and medicine and
clothing. It is hoped that some of the
charitably inclined of the city will as
sume the support of one or more
inmates of the home.
It is not the intention % of those charg
ed with the management of the institu
tion to make any canvass for money
far its support. Itsfoundation.it was
stated yesterday, is “Faith.” It is the
belief that the good people of Ameri
cus by their contributions of money
aud provisions will enable the home
to be carried on properly and additions
gradually be made to the number of its
beneficiaries.
Some furniture and other appurten
ances of a home can be utilized to
advantage and will be thankfully
received.

teachers from the papers that are pres
ented and their general discussion.
The Americus Board of Education
agreed to close the schools on Thurs
day if the teachers generally would
attend tlie meeting of the Association.
It was not dllicult to get them to agree

A CYCLONE NEAR LUMPKIN
Does Considerable Damage to Persons and Property
There,
Passengers arriving in Americus by
the Seaboard train yesterday reported
considerable damage resulting from a
storm of cyclone proportions which
swept across Stewart county, between
Richland and Lumpkin, during the
early hours of morning. The storm
did not strike either town but spent its
fury in the rural districts traversed.
Small houses were leveled with the
ground, trees laid waste and fences
carried away. It is reported that many

Hon. T. G. Hudson, state commis

sioner Hudson has expressed the opin
ion that little or no damage has been
done the Georgia peach crop by the re
cent cold snap. “I have no reports,”
he said, “which indicate any serious
damage to the peaches in any section of
the state. Futliermore, I recall that we
had colder and more severe weather
than this last year about this time
when the ground was frozen in many
places, and we thought there was no
hope for the fruit. Notwithstanding
this, it pulled through all right and we
had a good crop. We have not yet
passed through the danger line, how
ever, and much will depend on the
sort of weather we have along about
the middle of April. 1 am inclined to
think though that the worst of our
weather is passed,”

There is a reason why “Queen Quality” Shoes are pre

To ordinary shoes they are as a Worth gown is to an ordinary
dress. Only a shoemaking genius can impart their “chic” and
style and marvelous fit. Such shoes could be produced in
