SUPPLY OF GASOLINE LOW;
POOR QUALITY IS PROMISED
No Better Grade Than 64 Degrees
After April 15.
Representatives of the Standard Oil
Company have recently been notifying
manufacturers that, commencing about
1 April 15, it will he impossible for the
company to supply gasoline of a better
grade than 64 degrees test, except in
the largest cities. This means that
the tourist who is going cross-country
cannot figure on filling his tanks with
anything better than this low grade of
gasoline. This is a condition which
will cause no end of inconvenience to
many motorists, and designers of mo
tor cars will have to take cognizance
of the" pew conditions.
NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.
The tax books of Sumter county are

A PUBLIC BENEFIT
Rochester People Greatly Interested
In the Generous Offer of The
B. M. Hyde Drug Co.
The people have already demon
strated that they would rather trust j
a man who is naturally honest than
one who is honest only because he
had to be.
_ The Dodson Pharmacy have a:
firmly established reputation for!
square dealing and sterling honesty, j
When they told the people that Rexall 1 ,
Remedies are the purest and most de-)
pendable medicines that it is possible
j for modern science to produce, and
that they would tell the public what
,each one of these more reme
j dies contained, and that they sold
Rexall Remedies on their personal
guarantee that they would give entire
satisfaction they would not cost
rhe user a single cent, they were be
lieved.
Ever since the announcement the
Dodson Pharmacy store has been
largely patronized by people buying
| Rexall Remedies, all of which proves
that this store has the confidence of'
j the people and that honesty is the best
j policy.
There is no ”cure-all” among the
Rexall Remedies. There are different
and separate medicines, each one de
vised for a certain human ailment or
a class of ailments closely allied. For
I instance Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
are recommended for the positive re
lief of stomach irritation, indigestio i,
flatulency and dyspepsia. They are
prepared by special processes which
perfect and enhance the great remedial
value of these well-known medicinal
ageqts. This remedy sells for 25
cents, 50 cents and $1 per package. 1
Every one suffering from stomach dis
order should try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tab-lets, inasmuch as they cost noth- >
ing if they do not satisfy.
Remember, Dodson’s Pharmacy is
the only store in Americus where
these remedies may be obtained,
| and every one in need of medicine is
urged to investigate and take advan
tage of the frank and generous man
i ner in which they are sold.
A DIAMOND IN ROUGH
NOW ON EXHIBITION
Janies Fricker & Bro. Hare a Fine
Specimen to Show Visitor-.
There is now on exhibition at the
jewelry store of James Fricker & Bro.
a magnificent specimen of a diamond
lin the rough. Strange to say, though,
the diamond is very far from being
the rough specimen that most people
naturally imagine a diamond to. be
before it has been through, the hands
of the lapidary. This specimen weighs
over two carats, and shows plainly the
natural appearance of diamonds when j
taken from the mines. A view of it
will probably remove many false Im
pressions that are entertained as to
the appearance of diamonds when
turned out by the miners. Mr. Fricker
will be pleased to show it to all vis- i
! itors.

"THE COWBOY AND THE SQUAW.*
% •
The American west, picturesque,
lawless, has been the background of
many a song and story. Ti;«e old adage
that ’ truth is stranger than fiction”
has been worked to advantage by
writers and in the following story,
“The Cowboy and the Squaw,” the
main incidents are obtained from a
real happening. In new countries,
#here the machinery of the law, works
spasmodically, justice is often ad
ministered by civilians. Unwritten law
. prevails, “Cowboy justice,” swift, but
not always sure, has had part in tbe
preserving of peace in the west, and
has furnished material for many a
thrilling story.
Tom Ripley, a cowpuncher from the
Circle A ranch* wins the hatred of
Jim Simpson, another cowpuncher,
when he defends Ligbtfeather, a pretty
squaw, from the insults of Simpson.
The affair occurs in the Silver Dollar
saloon in Bisbee.
Some few days later Lightfeather
goes to her protector’s cabin and pre
sents him with a- pair of fine mocca
sins. Tom is duly grateful and advises
rhe little Indian maiden that if she is
: ever annoyed again, not to hesitate
to shoot the persecutor.
Not long after this meeting Simpson
I encounters Ripley out on-the range on
the brink of a precipice. A fight en
sues, in which Ripley is thrown over
the cliff and frightfully wounded on
i the rocks below.
Ripley's riderless herse gallops away
and is later seen and recognized by
Lightfeather. The squaw mounts the
horse and e tracks back to
the top of tD^^r^ where she finds
her good white fr’end. After much
! difficulty she assis’s him back to the
cabin and cares for him in his con
valescence.
Simpson, who has vowed to “get”
Ripley at any cost, watches Tom’s
cabin day and night, ’but the wary
Lightfeatber has seen h’m skulking
about and keeps a sharp lookout after
Tom. loiter when she sees Simpson
slipping threateningly on Ripley and
about to fire at him, she draws her
own weapon and a t'mely shot kills the
would-be murderer.
Ripley turns to find Simpson lying
j dead, just behind him, when tbe little
squaw comes from behind her hiding
I Place in the nearby bushes, confessing
that she had killed Simpson save
j him.
Ripley brings up nis horse and.
swinging into the saddle, pulls the
. squaw up behind him, just as a party
i cowboys, who have heard the sho f
run up on the scene.
A lively chase 'ollows. By numerous
tricks Ripley throws his pursuers off
j the trail and after a long ride draws
| rein at a little creek, the boundary
j line of two countries. When he crosses
j this he knows that be will be safe
I from the sheriff, at least. Pulling a
j notebook from his pocket, Ripley
scribbles a line to the s>sriff which
he ties to a weed at the water’s edge.
Some time later the sheriff and his
posse arrive at the crossing and find
the note. It reads:
' “Buck Brady, Sheriff:
1 “We have crossed the boundary line
| forever. Goodby. The squaw only
killed a cur, and you know it.
“TOM RIPLEY.”
The sheriff reads the note aloud and
turns to his men. “Tom’s right,” he
says; “that Simpson was never no ac
count, nohow.” And the little party of
cowboys swing leisurely into their
saddles and turn their horses' heals
toward home.
