ANNOUNCEMENT.
On September I st, we expect to move to
our New Home on Lamar street. We ask our
friends to be a little lenient with us until then,
when we will be in position to show the most
superb line of
Ladies Ready

We will have to establish ourselves more or
less in the new place, and propose to do this
with
“Prices.”
We think this the most forcible way, and
it is certainly the best for you.
We earnestly solicit a call from you and
will prove this assertion to your utter satisfac
tion. Remember the place, Half Way Be
tween the Old Davenport Corner and Oliver's
Warehouse.

Fine Plantation For Sale.
I am offering the “Adams” plantation of 1349 acres 7 miles
from Americus and two and half miles from Huntington for
sale. This is one of the finest places in Sumter county and
big money can be made farming this place or it could easily be
rented for 60 bales of cotton, with some little improvements.
This place joins the T. B. Hooks plantation, and is a dandy.
Come quick and get a bargain.
I have farms and plantations of all sizes. Come to see me
and get some of these land bargains. Cash or terms to suit
buyers.

The Limit of Life.
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 60
and 60; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be
ing fatal to longevity. Nature’s best
helper after 50 is Electric Bitters,

talizes every organ of the body. Guar

AUTO, A HOODOO, IS
- HIT BY AN ENGINE
Found Something to Make It
Move On.
/ A railway locomotive can move a
balky automobile when all other hu
man agencies fail, and the “auto” that
bucked and balked with an Americus
' touring party near Albany a few days
since has met that engineerical fate.
After being repaired the auto was
carried on to Albany, and the next
day two young Albanians, who thus
tempted fate with this rubber-tired
“Maude” came near getting Si’s dose.
They were crossing the railroad track
when an engine struck their auto
mobile and completely demolished it.
Herring jumped when he saw the en
gine, but Strong stayed with the ma
chine and was dragged twenty-five
yards. Both escaped uninjured.

STATE ENTOMOLOGIST
QUITS HIS JOB
Mr. Smith Will Go to North
Carolina.
State Entomologist R. I. Smith has
tendered his resignation to Commis
sioner of Agriculture Hudson, resign
ing the post which he has filled with
so much credit for the past few years,
to accept a more lucrative position of
entomologist with the North Carolina
Agricultural and Mechanical College
and experiment station at Raleigh.
His resignation is to take effect on
October Ist, when his successor will
be named and take charge of this im
portant department.
The small salary paid this im
portant office is responsible for the
state losing this expert. Ad effort
was made to have his salary increased
at the last session of the general as
sembly and it was favorably report
ed by the general agricultural com
mittee, but failed to be acted upon by
the House.
Professor Smith has done as much,
not more, toward enforcing the
law which prohibits the shipment of
cotton, seed, cotton stalks and
cotton hulls from those sections of
the country infested with boll wee
vil, than any any other man, and it
is to his watch and care that the state
is singularly free from his pest.
* Men Past Sixty In Banger.
More than half of mankind over
sixty years of age suffer from kidney
and bladder disorders, usually en
largement of prostrate glands. This
is both painful and dangerous, and
Foley’s Kidney Cure should be takeu
at the first sign of danger, as it cor
rects irregularities and has cured
many old men of this disease. Mr.
Rodney Burnett, Rockport, Mo., says:
“I suffered with enlarged prostrate
gland and kidney trouble for years
and after taking two bottles of Fol
ey’s Kidney Cure I feel better than
I have for twenty years, although I
am now 91 years old.” Sold by all
druggists. lm.
PLIED THE LITHE ROD
EVEN IN VACATION
Supt. Miller is Back from Sum
mer Vacation.
Supt. A. G. Miller of the Americus
public schools returned yesterday
from St. Andrews Bay, Fla., where,
Mrs. Miller and a very congenial
party of friends they spent a month
delightfully, occupying a charming
little cottage on the salts. Prof. Mil
ler is an adept with the rod; that is
outside the school room, as many a
luckless Florida trout will bear tear
ful testimony. An enthusiastic dis
ciple of Isaac Walton, he spent the
days in fishing, among other past
imes, and it was no infrequent oc
curence for him to fill his boat to
the gunwales with mangificent trout,
some of the speckled beauties tipping
the scales at thirty pounds. But, va
cation days are fast drawing to a
finish, and on September 16 other rods
than fishing rods will be in evidence
and the small boy rather than the pon
derous trout will be at the end of it.
SIOO REWARD, SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medicinal fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re
requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu
tion and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much

case that it fails to cure. Send for

BODY OF MRS. HARE
IS LAID AT REST!
Insurance of sll4 Saves It from
Pauper Burial.
ATLANTA, GA., August 30—The
body of Mrs. W. F. Hare, who died
here, lies in the undertaking par
lors of H. G. Poole, awaiting in
structions regarding Interment. Mrs.
Hare died at the Grady Hospital, and
her body was taken in charge by the
funeral director yesterday. It has
developed that she carried a small in
surance policy of sll4, on which she
has been paying weekly premiums of
10 cents during the past seven years.
This amount serves to keep her from
a pauper's burial, which would other
wise have been her lot, as she has no
relatives or others who appear to be
interested in her, except her husband
himself. The latter still is critically
ill at the hospital, suffering with the
same complaint which resulted in his
wife’s death.
