es to the tragedy heard the tearful
story of his son’s death. George Col
-3 lins, Jr., he said, was on his w r ay to
t Gadsden, Ala., to take a position. As
the railroad company deemed itself

A wagon at one of the warehouses

A iclpi'd to pick it; if not to make it I
as ivcil. And those who watched these
tiny little women, calico-clad and
r barefoot, hoped sincerely that some
i of the proceeds of the cotton bale
r in the way of stray nickels would

Dr. William Boler Walker, rector
of Christ church, in Macon, and well
known in Americas has resigned the
rectorship of Christ Church, which he
has held for three years, and will
leave in a short time to take up work
in Chicago under Bishop Anderson,
, with whom he is well acquai t -d,
, having worked for several years un
der him before.
While away on his summer vaca
. tion Dr. Walker received a set of res
olutions from the vestry of the church
in which it was stated that certain
L allusions made in some of his sermons
had created dissatisfaction among
some of the members of the congre
gation and that a change was deem
t ed best for the church.
When Dr. Walker's resignation was
received by the vestry it was accept
ed and a set of resolutions adopted
setting forth the good work accom
f plished by the rector and showing
that the church had enjoyed the best
of prosperity and a large increase if
membership under his able direction.

A RAISE IN SALARY
MAY GET A MAN
; City is Advertising for a Civil
Engineer.
The insertion of a “.want” ad in
the want column of one of the At
lanta papers has been authorized by
the city council of Americus to the
end of securing a city engineer and
superintendent of waterworks to fill
the existing vacancy here. The
1 council, by the way, has raised the
salary of the office very considerably,
and the "want" ad to be inserted in
the Atlanta paper will announce that
Americus will pay $125 per month to
anyone who will take the job and fill
it. This is an increase of several
hundred dollars over the salary paid
heretofore, and it is expected that
there will be a pellmell rush of idle
engineers and water superintendents
Americusward when our “wants” are
properly set fprtli in the “want” col
umn of the Atlanta papers.
Cures Hay Fever and Summer Cold.
A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana,
writes: “Last year I suffered for three
months with a summer cold so dis
tressing that it interfered with my
business. I had many of the symptoms
of hay fever, and a doctor's prescrip
tion did not reach my case, and I
took several medicines which seemed
to only aggrevate my case. Fortunate
ly I insisted upon having Foley’s Mon
ey and Tar in the yellow package, and
itquickly cured me. My wife has
since used Foley’s Honey and Tar
with the same success.” Sold by ail

WALKED AND RODE
TOGETHER TO CITY
Americus Man Was Bound to
Get Here.
Frank Turpin, was in Americus
yesterday, and the "get there” deter
mination evidenced in making the
trip would win anywhere—even mat
rimonially. He left Magon aboard
the train with a ticket to Americus,
but after a breakdown or two and
a delay of several hours he decided
he could walk here quicker. Quitting
the stranded train Mr. Turpin “tramp
ed it" to Andersonville. There he
chartered a mule, and thus mounted,
made the trip to Americus and beat
the "limited” train here by five hours.
