Brother Here
. Mr. Carl Ansley is the possessor of
a handsome trophy of the hunt in the
mountains of New Mexico sent him
yesterday by his brother, Ralph Ans

residing in the West. It is the dress

mountain lion killed by Mr. Ansley
and constitutes a beautiful and very
valuable ornament for the parlor. Tae
dressed hide measures six feet from
nose to tip of tail and nearly five feet
in width at the four limbs. The mount

like teeth of the mountain monarch,

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER.
86,943 LETTERS CAME
DURING MONTH OF MAT
Dill You Get Yours Among the
Number?
Too hard life will not seem, I think,
Though others summer by the sea —
If Rose will, while she’s out of town,
Write just a little note to me!
—Rhymes of the Bughouse Balladist.
There were 6,943 letters received
at the Americas Postoffice during the
marry month of May.
Did you get yours, love-lorn swain?
If you didn’t, maybe you got it in the
neck. At any rate, it wasn’t Uncle
Sam’s fault.
But it does seem there were suffic
ient letters to go around, even under
the revised census and to the most ro
mantic individuals. But that wasn’t
the reason why Uncle Sam counted
them, for count them he did —during
the entire month.
This was in the way of stock-taking,
as it were, for now the postal author
ities have carefully revised statistics
concerning the amount of mail handled
at the local postoffice, not only of the
first class, but also of the second,
third and fourth classes, as well as of
every class of matter that goes into
the mail bag.
It is interesting to note, too, that
there were more than 6,000 fewer let
ters mailed out from this office than
were received during the month. That
indicates that we receive our share,
with a little thrown in, but there are
such things as bills that come under
cover with a two-cent stamp, you
know.
The total number of pieces of mail
handled runs up into the six-figure c01umn—326,877,
umn—326,877, to be exact. Os this
number, the outgoing mail tops the
incoming as the respective figures
173,603 and 153,274 easily indicate.
These figures include every piece oi
mail that passed through the post
office during the month.
In the handling of this large volume
of mail the statistics show that the
local postal clerks made records sec
ond to none. Speed and accuracy were
shown to a remarkable degree, and
these are the two indispensable re
quisites for the prompt and satisfac
tory handling of the mails. The sta
tistics reflect the greatest credit on
the personnel of the local postoffiee
force, which has been brought to such
a high standard under the efficient ad
ministration of Postmas'er Frank P.
Mitchell.
Daily throughout the thirty days,
Assistant Postmaster Henry C. Mitch
ell received the reports of statistics
from the postal clerks and compiled
|ind tabulated them. It is due very
largely to his individual labor, as
sisted by the entire local postal force,
that the local postoffice to-day has
reliable and authentic information as
to the number of pieces and the
class of each piece of mail that is be
ing handled by it.
Deafness Cannot Be Cnred
by local applications, as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutiona
remedies. Deafness is caused by at
inflamed condition of the Eustachian
Tub&. When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed. deafness is the result, and unless
this inflammation can be taken on
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
hut an Inflamed condition of the mu
ons surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
'or any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot he cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circu

Americas is to enjoy several good ball
games this week, or rather the games
will be played, and every fan in town
should attend them.
That big acid plant, meaning an in
vestment of $50,000 foreign capital in
Americas, is fully ass’ured. Just
watch the old town grow.
The longest day of the year, accord
ing to the almanac, has just passed.
And may we fervently hope that the
hottest one has weuted also.
The Central’s $4 excursion, Ameri
cus to Tybee, on Tuesday night next
will afford a bath and good time to the
perspiring multitude here.
“The mystery of the kitchen, or who
swiped the ham,” will he the tragedy

Americas fans must get together—
on the grandstand and bleachers. We
have the team, the best one ever, and
now we want the crowds.
They caught a hermit in a cave in
Macon last week. He is suspected of
being the man who suggested remov

ball game and other patriotic stunts.
The oldest telephone operator has
just died in Atlanta. May it be fer

Perspiring Americus will endeavor to
keep cool today, even with the mercury
making a century run.
The latticed waist and cutoff skirt
has taken the place of the hobble in
Americus, while the dear old kimona
also has the frequent call.
This is the time to boost the base
ball game. The cotton crop, the fall
weddings and the hookworm can com
raan’t attention later on.
At least three early fall weddings
tend just now to keep the gossips de
lightfully busy. And by the way, all
the returns are not in yet.
