everybody Welcome, Americas, Georgia.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1507
of the New York of the early nine
teenth century. Much of the
church’s distinction is due to the re
markable personalities of two of its
rectors, the Rev. Thomas H. Peters
and his son, the Rev. Dr. John. P.
Peters,,, the present rector.
At a time when there was no other
churches, of any denomination, in
the upper west side, it was the idea
of the elder Dr. Peters that he was
the missionary to that entire district,
if there were any sick, St. Michael's
must care for them. The dead were
buried at the expense of the congre
gation whenever the family of the de
ceased was too poor to meet the ex
pense. No distinction was made as
to creed, and Catholics and Metlio
odists were often seen kneeling side
by side at St. Michael’s alter rail. In
pursuance of the charitable policy
of the rector, the “Sheltering Arms”
was founded by the parish, and its
industrial home has become famous
throughout the country.

A DELUGE CF RAIN
HELD UP BUSINESS
Merchants Were Up Against It
Yesterday.
Jupiter Pluvius i>ut the blue tag of
disapproval upon business here yes
terday in the steady downpour of
rain that lasted throughout the day.
The early morning hours opened with
a deluge, keeping at home the thous
ands of shoppers who otherwise would
have filled the retail stores of Aineri
cus to their capacity in the inspection
of fall goods and the making of fall
purchases. Comparatively few peo
ple from the country and surround
ing towns braved the elements, and
the muddy streets held but a small
crowd for Saturday. Aside from the
injury to trade conditions the rain is
doing injury to open cotton in the
fields and likewise ruining hundreds
of tons of fine hay, cut during the
past week and which is still lying In
the water-soaked fields from which
the farmers were unable to remove it
in time.
WATERMELONS FILL
MARKETS STILL
Excellent Ones Are Brought To
Americus.
October Ist will find the Americus I
market as well stocked on fine wa
termelons as in July, when this fruit
is supposed to be at its best. Several i
wagon loads of melons brought in I
yesterday found ready sale, and the I
crop will continue lor perhaps ten
days longer. One of the growers j
said he planted these vines late in j
June, and the melons now growing |
are of excellent quality.
Facts About the Great Majestic Range.
It is the only range iu the world made of Palloable
and Charcoal Iron.
It has, beyond any question of a doubt, the largest
and best reservoir.
It uses about half the fuel used on other ranges, and
does better work by far.
The Majestic All Copper Nickled Reservoir heats the
water quicker and hotter than any other. It is the only
reservoir with a remoyable frame.
The Charcoal Iron Body of the Great Majestic Range
lasts three times as long as a steel body.
Being made of ncn-breakable material, there is
practically no expense for repairing the Majestic.
As for baking, it is perfection, not only for a few
months, but for all times to come.
A GREAT MAJESTIC RANCE lasts three times as
long as a cheap range,but it don’tcost three times as much.

of the above statements, but you will call at our store, a
man from .he factory, whore Majestic ranges are made,
will prove to your satisfaction, that these are absolute
facts, and will show you many more reasons why the
