MONTEZUMA WILL HAVE
EXCELLENT MUSIC SCHOOL
Miss Bell to Establish Branch
School There
Another branch of Miss Annie May
Bell's Music School will be opened :n
the fall, Montezuma being the com
munity to be favored with such excel
lent advantages in a musical way.
Miss Helen Argo hfis just completed
arrangements for the opening of the
new branch of the school in Monte
zuma, having made a trip to that place
recently for that purpose. Cordial
support of the movement has been
pledged by the people of Montezuma,
who are fortunate in securing the ad
vantages that will be theirs with the
establishment of the school.
A suitable studio has been selected
and will be furnished and equipped in
the usual tasteful manner that char
acterizes the instruction rooms em
ployed by Miss Bell and at the branch
schools. An elaborate recital will usn
er in the season at the Montezuma
school, and for this purpose Miss Bell
will take a number of local pupils
with her to Montezuma when the
s. liool is opened. Miss Mary Hawkes,
who is now travelling abroad in com
pany with Miss Bell, will be in charge
of the Montezuma school.
SUCCESS IN STRENGTH
NOT IN BRAINS.
Many men with ordinary brains
make huge successes, while many
brilliant men are failures because
they lack the nerve, motive power—
otherwise called steam, vim, snap.
Most men and women should take a
safe and effective nerve-} nvigora tor
and blood purifier every once in a
while to “recharge their batteries,"
i for what can you do when yottr
strength vanishes, no matter how
brainy you may pe?
If you have Nervous Trouble of any
sort, tired, you cannot sleep, no ap
petite, Kidney or Liver Trouble, or
Rheumatism, you should take a course
of Make-Man Tablets at once.
Make-Man Tablets are wonderful
builders of nerve-strength and puri
| tiers of the blood. The first box will
do you a lot of good. They are ab
solutely the best medicine for men,
women and children, because they
give a splendid, youthful tone to the
nerves, quicken the brain, dispel wor
ry, give a keen edge to the appetite
and sound refreshing sleep. Trial
treatment free on request. Make-Man

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER.
WHOLE CITY IS GRIEVED,
DEATH OF MRS. FORT
Beloved Lady Unexpectedly
Stricken
When the announcement went forth
at early dawn yesterday that Mrs. Al
ien Fort was dead it seemed incred
ible and friends, hoping the statement
untrue, stood stunned and grief
srticken until it was known beyond
doubt that the pure spirit of this love
ly woman had indeed winged its flight
on high.
The angel of death came just as
the darkness of night was dispelled
by the rose tints of dawn, and in the
sunlight of glorious morning the gates
of Paradise opened unto their own.
In sweet arid silent slumber, sur
rounded by her loved ones, the end
came so peacefully.
Though not in good health for a
month past, no one, not even members
of her household and most intimate
friends, regarded Mrs. Fort's condi
tion as at all serious. Wednesday
evening, she appeared better than us
ual, and left her room for a short
walk.
During the succeeding hours of
night she rested well until 4:30
o’clock, when one of her daughters
was aroused by her breathing. Other
members of the family were called
hastily and were at the bedside when
the end came.
Their grief at the death of this de
voted mother is shared by an entire
community, whose tears of sorrow are
mingled with theirs. None knew her
but to love her, none named her bat
in praise.
Mrs. Fort was the widow of Judge
Allen Fort, one of Georgia's states
men and jurists, who passed away
four years ago . She was a member
of the Hollis family, of Marion comi
ty, one of the best known in the state,
and was married to Judge Fort in Ma
'con in December, 1876, at the home
of her relatives, Judge Thomas J.
Simmons.
Their married life, ideal in the full
est sense the term implies, was spent
in Americus, and in all the Southland
there was no,happier home. In h ! s
profession and in public life, she was
ever her husband's strong right arm,
guiding his every destiny.
Os the sons and daughters surviving
there are Misses Floyd, Mary and
Georgia Fort; Rev. Allen Fort, cf
Chattanooga; James Fort, of Wash
ington, and Hollis Fort, of Americas.
Two sisters, Mrs. Susan Taylor and
Mrs. Lucy H. Simmons, are among
the nearest surviving relatives,
though there are other kindred
throughout Southern Georgia.
And to all of these sincerest sym
pathy is epressed in the taking away
of thriir loved one.
The funeral arrangements will be
announced tomorrow morning, as the
hour of burial cannot be fully deter
mined until relatives now en route
here have arrived today.
USUAL DIVIDEND IS PAID
BY COMMERCIAL CITV
Americus Bank Declares Four
Per Cent
The Commercial City Bank cf
Americus held yesterday its semi-an
nual meeting and, after a review of
the excellent business of the past six
months, the directors declared the us
ual semi-annual dividend of four per
cent upon t.ie capital stock of $50,-
000. Although the youngest of Amer
icas banks, the Commercial City is a
very vigorous and healthy “youth,”
and has long since taken its place
among the successful financial insti
tuitions of the state. It is upon an
eight per cent dividend basis, paying
four per cent semi-annually in July
and January.
After a man has taken a few “eye
openers” it is almost impossible for
him to keep his mouth shut.

WEBSTER IS WAKING UP
ON SUBJECT OF ROADS
Proposes a Highway Through
the County
Among the visitors in Americus yes
terday was Colonel J. F. Souter, one
of Preston's well known attorneys,
who brings the cheering announce
ment that his good county, Webster,
is now fully alive to the importance
of good roads and is going to build
highways like those of other coun
ties of South Georgia.
The good roads idea prevails strong
ly there, Colonel Souther states, and
the people are already at work.
Webster has a convict gang, and
seventeen “zebras” are now on the
good roads job over there. This force
will be supplemented by the farmers
residing along the proposed high
ways, "'ho will contribute free labor
to the cause.
It is proposed to build, first, a
north and south road across the coun
ty from the Schley-Webster line
southward through Preston to the
Terrell line, a distance of about twen
ty-four miles. With this road finish
ed, another link will be built connect
ing Preston with Plains.
This will afford a fine road to Amer
icus, a distance of twenty-miles. At
present, the road from Plains is none
too good, and its improvements is
greatly desired. Farmers on the north
and south road will put their labor
ers and mules at the disposal of the
county as soon as the 'crops have
been laid by.
Sumter will gladly welcome her
good neighbor, Webster, into the good
roads counties of South Georgia.
The average man is as proud of his
opinion as he is of his honor, his
honesty, or even his pedigree.
A BIT OF ADVICE.
First—Don't Delay. Second—Don’t
Experiment.
If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest poor
ly and are lanquid in the mornings; if
the kidney secretions are irregular and
unnatural in appearance do not de
lay. The kidneys are calling for help
Sight symptoms of kdney trouble are
but forerunners of more serious com
plaints. They should be given atten
tion before it is too late.
Doan’s Kidney Pills cure kidney
trouble. They are recommended by
thousands. Can Americus residents
desire more convincing proof than the
statement of an Americus citizen who
says that the cure of Doan’s Kidney
Pills effected years ago has proven
permanent?
Mrs. D. C. Pettis, 519 i.Mayo street,’,
Americus, Ga., says: “Nothing has oc-|
eurred to change my high opinion of
Doan's Kidney Pills and I confirm all
1 said in their praise when I publicly
endorsed them in .March, 1908. Kid-1
ney trouble has never returned in my
case. Doan’s Kidney Pills were obtain
ed at Dodson's Pharmacy and I feel
that they are worthy of all the praise
that has been given them.”
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Foster-Milburn 'Co., Buffalo

Remember the name—Doan’s —and
take no other.
Prevents Worry and Fear
AT THE ‘ LAST MOMENT it was necessary to post
pone the visit to relatives in a distant city. Any
thing short of a full explanation would cause worry
and fear. What could be done ?
The Long Distance Bell Telephone solved the prob
lem. A personal talk cleared up the situation, dispelled
worry and completed plans for a visit at a later date.
In every day, personal affairs the Long Distance Bell
Telephone can save you worry, inconvenience and loss of
time. Why not try it?
