GOOD NEWS.
Many Americus Readers Have Heard
It and l’rolited Thereby.

thousands of bad sufferers in Am

relief is within their reach. 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. He is an
example worth reading:
Preston, Georgia.
Foster-Milburn Co.,
Gentlemen: —You can state through
the newspapers that 1 have used your
Doan's Kidney Pills and I found them
a most excellent remedy. They plac
ed my kidneys in good condition af
ter I had used less than a box, and I
know I was getting in bad shape on
acount of weak kidneys. Every morn
ing the kidney secretions would be
very thick and contained a sandy
sediment. My wife insisted that 1
use Doan’s Kidney Pills as she heard
them well spoken of, and I sent and
got a box at Dodson's Drug Store in
Americus. Though I thought they
were like other advertised remedies,
I can say they have done me more
good than anything else I have ever
taken. I am glad I used them. I
recomend them to anybody suffering
from kidney trouble.

the tempting display of fresh vege

Western apples and other good things
I besides. Surely one could get up a

1 Strike Here Was Quickly
Ended
STREET HANDS TO RESUME DUTY
Strikers Who Went Out Monday
Came Up Yesterday Very Largely
and Asked for Their Good
Old Jobs.
The negro street hands who, to the
! number of twenty threw down their
shovels Monday and went upon a
“strike” are fully satisfied with two
days of rest without pay, and nearly
’ all of them will go back to work this
morning.
A majority of the strikers came
'to the city hall yesterday and asked
’ to be put back upon their dear old
easy jobs at a dollar per, and most
of them were taken back.
Others in the meantime had secured
‘ some job elsewhere.
1 The street department found no
difficulty whatever in filling the strik
ers places, and one full squad of new
’ recruits were sent uot to the works
yesterday morning. The job offered,
with good and certain pay, was not to
be thrown away.
• All the laborers the city needs will
be digging dirt today.
GIVEN BAD FRIGHT
BY NEGRO IN HACK
. Lady Visitor in Americus
Makes Serious Charge.
The police yesterday made dili-
I gent search for a negro hackmau,
who, if guilty of charges preferred,
’ will be given an experience he will
uot soon forget. On the night pre
vious a young lady arriving in Am
ericus alone by the 10:40 Central
I train boarded a hack at the depot,
to be driven to the home of a re
lative. After the hack left the sta
tion yard, she says, the hackman al
lowed one or two negroes to board
I the hack with him. This state of
affairs frightened her terribly, and
a block further up Cotton avenue the
lady, almost a stranger here, thought
it best to seek protection. She call
ed from the hack to a young man
walking up from the depot and re
quested that he enter the vehicle and
accompany her to the home of her
relative. This he did unhesitating
ly, and the trip was made in safety.
, The young man bears out the lady's
statement relative to the condition
’ of the driver, and in giving the po
of the driver, and is giving the po-
If caught, an example will be made
of him beyond doubt.
The Limit of Life.
I
The most eniment medical scien
| tists are unanimous in the conclu
sion that the generally accepted lim
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge of
which the race is now possessed. The
. critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be betwen 50
, and 00; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
, strongly urged; carelessness thenbe
, ing fatal to longevity. Nature’s best
helper after 50 is Electric Bitters,
the scientific tonic medicine that revi
talizes every organ of the body. Guar
