BUILDING BOOM.
Mr. C. M. Wheatley Is probably
.the best informed man in the city
on the matter of the amount of
building now In progress, and the
amount which will be done during
the coming year.
His figures eveu exceed that of
other persons who have attempted
to figure out the building boom now
in progress in Americus. He esti
mates the amount to be expended
in residences this year at over $750,-
000.
These figures do not include the
many stores, new hotel, or the pub-
llo buildings which will be erected
here.
“I should think that over five
hundred residences will be erected
in Amerleus this year,” he said yes
terday. "The average cost of these
will be fully fifteen hundred dol
lars. Last year over four hundred
residences were erected, and It may
bo possible that the number may be
even greater this year than I have
stated.
"A great deal of work has already
been done this year, but still It is
hardly possible to judge by what
has been done. The building sea
son generally commences In April
and lasts until Oetober. The work
done in April alwayi.exceeds that
done in Marolf and that done In
March la greater than that of Febru
ary. This renders It diflloult to
form any conclusion, judging by
what has been done already this
season.”

They are beauties and no mistake,
and the A. L. I. will present ob flue

Col. 8. H. Hawkins has had tho

By reference to a notice in anoth
er column it will be seen that appli
cation has been made for a charter
for the Oliver Buggy and Wagon
Compauy, with a capital stock of
twenty-five thousand dollars. The
Incorporators are Messrs. A.T. Oli
ver, W. E. Hawkins and J. B. Fel
der. Mr. A. T. Oliver, whom we
presume will have charge of the
works, is au experienced workmeu^
having practical knowledge of the
manufacture of eveiy part of a bug
gy nud wagon, and has been con
ducting a successful business fora
number of years. His buggies are
known ail over Georgia
models of beauty and slirngth,
aud Ills sales have only been
limited by his capacity to manu
facture. With tbe reputation be
bus achieved there will be no trou
ble in selling all the buggies and
wagons the company can manufac
ture. We understand the compauy
will erect large and commodious
shops and push the business for all
ttiero is In it. Americus Is well
situated for a manufacturing enter
prise of this kind, as it has at its
doors the best quality of hard
woods necessary for the manufac
ture of buggies aud wagons, aud
has the best of shipping facilities.
We are confident that It will onlv
be a short time before the company
will have to enlarge its facilities to
meet the demand for its work.

Americus is soon to have a furnl
ture factory. The machinery lias
been contracted for and the build
ings will soon be erected. As show
ing what such manufactories will
do for a town, we cite the case of
Grand Rapids, Mich., which Is
known throughout the whole coun
try as the centre of furniture
manufacturing. When the first
furniture manufactory was estab
lished It was a village. Now
It Is a large city, tbe furniture fae
tories alone employing 12,000 men
Tbe sales of furniture from the fac
tories amount to ten millions of
dollars per year. Wbat Grand
Rapids has done Americus can do,
and for that reason we wish the
new furniture conmany succeas, be
lieving it to be a beginning in the
right direction. - <
Memorial Day.
The fallowing letter from .the
Confederate Veterans' Association
has been received by Judge A. V.
Speer, who requests its publication:
“In view of tbe fact that the
Fulton County Veterans' Associa
tion has Inaugurated a general
Confederate Veterans’ mass meet
ing, to be held in Atlanta, from the
25th to the 27th of April, for the
purpose of having a reunion of our
old comrades-ln-arms and cele
brating Memorial Day, and laying
the corner-stone of the Confederate
Veterans’ Home, we have decided
to address the Ordinaries of every
county in the State, requesting
them to oxtend a cordial invitation
to all of the old soldiers In said
counties to come to Atlanta at said
time to assist In tbe celebration of
said memorial and other services.
Invitations have been extended to
all of the old Generals of the Con
federacy, a large number of whom
have accepted, among them Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston.
"All organized bodies of eight or
more will be furnished with tents,
250 having been pitched in Grant
park in this city for the accommo
dation of visiting veterans. A cor'
dial invitation Is extended through
you to all brother veterans, and we
Btncerely hope that you will exert
yourself in notifying all of our old
comrades in your county. Pleaso
let us know how many to expect.
Americus* Boom.
The prospects ot Americus aro
brighter than ever before. Buildings
are going up ou all sides. Next
week work will be in progress
on the large factories, the machine
shops and the furnlturo factory.
Ground will be broken before the
first of May for tbe twenty thou
sand dollar Baptist church. Before
August work will be In progress on
the hundred thousand dollar hotel,
the Alliance cotton factory, the new
city hall and. the college. A con
servative estimate places tho num
ber of residences now in coorse of
erection at seventy-five. Over
three hundred thousand dol-
dollars will be expended In build
ings this summer. And tbe best of
all is that this progress Is entirely
due to Americus men. Not a dollar
has been solicited from outside
cities to build np Americus. The
boom Is a substantial one. The real
estate sales weekly are avergiug
twenty thonsand dollars, and thus
far there has been an absence o
any Injurious speculative tendenoy
on the pert of purchaser*.
The preliminary arrangements
for the new hotel are almost com
pleted.
Yesterday tbe building commit
tee of the Improvement Company
decided upon a plau of tbe struct
ure to be recommended to tbe board
of directors for acceptance.
Mr. G. L. Norrmann, of Atlanta,
is tbe architect whose plan was de
cided upon. All who have seen it
are loud in their praises ot tbe ex
terior beauty and the perfection of
the exterior arrangements.
Tbe plan has not yet been shown
to the public, and will not be until
the directors have taken final ac
tion.
It Is of Italian architecture, aud
entirely original in design^ being
marked by that strong individual
ity characteristic of Mr. Normanu's
work. Every detail has been pro
nounced perfect by those capable
of judging work of this kind.
The building will have three
fronts, the main front, however,
being on Lamar street. It Is the
intention of the Improvement Com
pauy to run a new street, north and
south, through the old court house
Bite. This street will be fifty feet In
width, aud will be at a point forty
feet east of the Recorder building.
The building is designed to have
one hundred and fifty sleeping
rooms, and ten store roomB. Mr.
Normann estimates the cost of the
structure at a maximum cost ot
eighty thousand dollars, and Is con
fldent that it can be erected for even
a less amount. Americus will urn
doubtedly be able, on the comple
tion, to boast of the finest hotel
structure, and the most compiete in
its arrangements, in Southwest
Georgia.
GUS WRIGHT DEAD.
There is danger in Impure blood.
There Is safety In taking Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, tho great blood puri
fier. 100 doses one dollar.
Gus Wright, the crazy negro ar
rested at Mr. T. F. Logan’s place,
ou Wednesday night, died yeBter
day in jail.
Wright had been confined In the
guard house, but his ravings were
so intense that it was deemed ad-
vlsable to take him to the county
jail, wbere It would be Impossible
for him to do.damage to himself.
About ten o’clock yesterday
morning Sheriff Bass and Dr.
Raines visited Wright In bis cell
He was loose, having managed to
release himself from the chains In
which he had been manacled. Ow
ing to the dangerons symptoms he
exhibited, it was deemed no' advls'
able to enter tbe cell.
About twelve o’clock Sheriff
Bass entered the cell aud found
the negro dead upou tbe floor. He
had undoubtedly died from the ex
haustion following his convulsions.
The body was removed to the negro
cemetery and Interred without auy
medical examination.
Home persons believe that the
negro died of hydrophobia, but It Is
generally thought by those in a po
sition to know that be wsb suffer
from spinal trouble. Wright has
been afflicted with these spells for
several years. His conduct on the
Tillman place, sometime ago,
where he was employed, was of the
same character as that Immediate
ly before his death. He had terri
fied tho negroes on the place by hla
strange freaks of madness. Only
recently he was released from the
ohaln-gang, where he served a term
for an assault committed while on
the Tillman place.
Fraternal Mystic Circle.
Such is the title of a new secret
beneficial order which is being In
troduced In this stato by Mr J. E,
Wyatt, Special Supreme Deputy of
the order. Mr. Wyatt la now in
this city for the purpose of institut
ing a lodge and has already secured
a number of our leading citizens as
charter members. This order is
somewhat similar to tho Knlghta
of Honor and other orders, In that it
Insures the life of Its members for
tbe sum of $3,000, but differs in the
fact that it pays halt of the sum In
sured whenever a member becomes
disabled by accident or Bickness,
and thus provides against want at
the greatest time of need. It lias
many good features which must
commend It to those who wish to
insure their lives at the smallest
possible cost consistent with securi
ty, and we arc confident that its
merits have only to be explained to
■eeure for It a large membership In
this city.

Ex.Speaker Carlisle has written
a reply to Senator Dawes’ recent
article on the first year of the ad
ministration of President Harrison,
which will appear In the May mim
ber of the Forum. He recalls the
campaign promises of tbe Repub
Bean party, aud reviews Its action
since it came into power. Ip tbe
same number there is a review of
Sir Charles Dllkc’s recent book
“Problems of Great Britain," by
Mr. Goldwin Smith, who gives
special attention to the portion of
Sir Charles’ book that treats of
Canadian problems. Mr. C. Wood
Davis, ot Kansas, who had an art!
cle in tbe last number of the
Forum to explain why the
farmer Is not . prosperous, tot
lows it with another article
to show that the Increase of popula
tion is greater than the Increase of
farming areas, and thatconsequent-
ly, at no distant day, the agrloul
tural produets of tbe United States
will not bo more than the people ot
•he United States will require for
tbelrowu consumption.
LaBt yearJ2,000,000,000 bushels of
wheat wore raised lu the world, so
far as records show. Of this Uncle
Sam furnished 490,000,000 bushels,
or about one-fourth. It is rather a
remarkable fact that the little ooun
try France came next, with 806,000,'
000 bushels. The reason Is that
French agriculture Is In such a high
state of development that Its results
are a matter of surprise to Ameri
can farmers. Great big India comes
next with 237,000,000 bushels; Rus
sla follows with 188,000,000 bushels
but including Poland, a wheat rais-
lug country, the figures are 300,000,'
000. Little lazy Italy furnishes
100.000,000; mean little Portugal
comes poking along with 0,000,000
frozen Denmark turns out 5,000,000.
They find enough land In Switzer
land to raise 2,500,000 bushels. Spain
furnishes 73,000,000 bushels; Ger
many 84,000,000 bushels; Hungary
95,000,000 bushels; Asia Minor 37,-
000.000. Away off in Persia the yield
is 22,000,000.
How to Grow Boaotlful*
She knew It was necessary to be
come beautiful in order to be con
sidered attractive, and so she made
tbe art ot beautifying a study. She
felt It wiser to be plump ana hearty
thau to be thin and delicate. To
tbia end she knew good health was
essential. She bad suffered from
backaches, sldeaebes and bearlni;
down pains, and was restless untl
she found the medicine she needed.
It improved her appetite and diges
tion. Her habits became regular.
Her flesh Increased and became
more firm and solid. Hsr com
plexion became clear and beautiful
and free from pimples. Her lips
grew red and ber cheeks grew rosy,
She did not know an ache or pain,
Exercise gave her pleasure aud she
became the life of her companions.
She could ride a tricycle lor many
miles and never seemed to grow
weary. Her laughter was catching
and all the young men loved her.
She is now a happy wife and moth
er. Who was she? What was her
name? Well, no matter, let us
know the medicine she used. With
pleasure, with pleasure, sweet girls.
She used Dr. John Bull's Sarsapa
rilla. If any there be among you
who aro Blckly, go quickly and do
likewiso.—Mansfield Independent.
Tbe Farmers Alliance Is evident
ly making an Impression upon tbe
politicians. Senatbr Hlsoock has
Introduced a bill to allow national
banks to issue circulating notes for
the full one hundred per cent, on
the Government bonds deposited,
and ninety per cent, on the State,
railway and municipal bonds, of
marketable value, where interest
had been paid for ten years with
out forfeit, and upon warehouse re
eelpts for cotton, pig Iron and
wheat. That is giving the Alliance
all It asks for and a little more.
The alliaucemeu of Kansas have
gone on tbe political war path and
are after the scalps of tho congress
men who bavo been favoring a high

It la a strange freak of nature how
many people will yowl for free wa
