The Arnerlcua people are still af

colds.
Administrator’s Sale.
Yesterday the Reviore place was
sold at administrator's sal* and
bought in by Judge Allen Fort,
and Mr. Merrel Callaway.
“Listed,” as the brokers say, at
“100 Doses One Dollar,” Hood’s
Sarsaparilla is always a fair equiv
alent for the price.
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Storey have

The Btreet Railroad.
Tlie Americus street railroad
company will not put the electric
cars on again until tlie first of next
March. This will he bad news for
out citizens, who have been Imping
and expecting that the service
would bo reuowed again within a
few weeks. Tills delay will be
profitably used by the company,
and by the time mentioned every
thing will be put in first class con
dition. Resides working over the
track uud renovating the cars, there
will be u change made in the source
or power.
Instead of tlie [power being fur
nished by the Electric Light Co.,
as heretofore, tlie Railroad Co. will
generate its own eleotricity. Their
engine and dynamo will be moved
from Us present location down next
to the buildings the Americus
Construction Company. It will
Like all of the time from now un
til March, to make the changes,
and then tbo company wil' be so
situated as to give Americus tlie
best street car service she lias ever
had.
Thl Rattle of Life.
Tile true hero will endeavor to
make the most of life, and to this
end the first consideration is a ro
bust constitution. Like agood gen
eral ou the battle plain, who, wheu
expecting an attack from the ene
my, will entrench himself in furli-
ticut!i/iis, =o he, when disease Is in
the atmosphere or hovering in am-
Lush amid climatic changes, will
foitify hi» system against every eu-
croachuienl the grim monster may
seek to make. Many a grand life
lias ended for want of timely pre
caution In tlie hour of need. When
fever and influenza aro abroad,
wheu the damp, chilly days touch
tlie marrow hones, when cflluvia
malm .a walk hand in hand,
then it is that tlie system should be
fortified by a use of that superb
strengthening tonic alterative of
Dr John Hull's Sarsaparilla, which
keeps the blond pure and the func
tions regulated, so thatdisease can-
no. enter the citadel of life.
The pupils of the public schools
of Americus were given a vaention
of ten days during the holidays,
the studies being resumed Iasi
Friday. It always takes several
days for the children to get over
the demoralization of Christman
time, and get settled down to work,
and the first day was a slim one so
far as attendance goes.
Yesterday a reporter dropped in
at the Jackson street school, and
found 8upt. Bizlen hard at work in
his ofllce. fixing up some matters
pertaining to the school.
“How’s attendance Professor'.’
was asked, as the superintendent
ofl'ered him a seat.
"Better than ever. Wo open
with u»arly a hundred more than
we had lust fall. In this building
we have over tiOO. Come on and
let me show you some of Hie
rooms.”
The reporter then took a peep in
every room, and found each filled
almost to overflowing with bright
faced children in cliargo ol ac
complished teachers. The lower
grades were especially filled, and
one can form little idea of the num
ber of little people in the city, until
lie sees together sucli a crowd, and
then remembers what a small pro
portion of the whole they make
up. There were Inis i f ill m, and
a finer looking body of children
could not bo gotten together.
The higher grades, too, were filled
and hero were older boys and girls
being taught studies usually not
seen outside of colleges. Prof. J
E. Mathis, tile accomplished and
able principal, is in charge of tlie
10th and lltli grades, which grades
he carries a good way in lalln,
higher mathematics and geology.
It was un Interesting peep made
into the rooms, and while harried,
enough was seen to prove that the
higli standard of the school aud the
excellent workings were in better
condition than ever.
Prof. Bizlen is an educator or
grout reputation, and no city can
boast a morn highly educated gen
tleinau. As a superintendent lie
is recognized as one of the very
best, uud Americus is delighted
with him aud his work.

ridor leading from this room to the bath
rooms was tilled as well. The depart
ment for tho opposite sex was not so
well patronized at tho start, bat was
fully filled, and thuso who did accept
of the advantages offered were of the
better walks of life. Women camo by
twos, mothers with their children, nurses
with their charges, and many others
flocked in to obtain visitors' cards with
the evidcut intention of taking their
bearings and coming again.
In the department for males there are
forty rooms. Those are largo and light,
with walls of corrugated iron, about 8
feet high and open at tho top, for the
freo circulation of air. The whole in
terior is nnir.lod white, and a more
scrupulously clean apartment could not
be found. Ilach room contains a large
tub. in which yon can have either a hot
or cold hath. Each is furnished with a
ne.it : .Lie and chair, a mirror, beside
which is suspended bmsh and comb, and
at tin- end of the tnb there is a flesh
brush and a neat wiro crate full of soap.
Half a-, hour is allowed each bather, if
a hath- comes with his own towel there
is no charge for tlie bath, aud a blue
ticket of admission is issued to him; if
he requires a towel a deposit of five
cents is asked, and lio is provided witli a
yellow ticket, wliilo if lie must have two
towels lie is required to deposit tell
cents, and a red ticket of admission is
given.
The major jiortiou of those patronizing
the baths asked for tho yellow ticket,
which must iw returned with tho towel.
In the men's quarter is au excellent
shower hath, but in the women's depart
ment there is none. There ore just half
as many rooms in these as in the men's
quarter, and from the attendance this
seems to be a wise provision, as the pro
portion of patronage must have been
three or four to one in favor of tlie males.
A great mnny visitors’ tickets were
issued, and among those who applied for
these were many prominent business
men and many ladies who are interested
in tlie welfare of tlie masses. Tho baths
are open from 1 to 7 p. in. on every day
except Saturday and Sunday. On Sat
urday they open nt 1 and close ntfl, while
on Sunday they aro open in the morning
from 7 to 10.

Grtniiluf TroUnjf Wire*.
A somewhat singular outcome of the
necessities of certain c >n«litions of elec
tric traction h;;s just msi'ic ita appear
ance. In frosty weather the firm con
tact between the trolley wheel ami tho
wire of an electric railroad is interfered
with seriously by the formation of a coat
of ico on the wire, ami the weight of tho

against the safety of tin* overhead work.

tho news?”
“No, sah, do reporters did dat.”
“You read the proof, then, very
likely.”
“Oh, no, no, no, sah, wc had de proof

The editor Iwcamo amused at tho old
darky, and determined to see in what
position his boosted proprietorship would
land him, so he questioned him in re
gard to the various positions right down
the list, and still his function remained
undiscovered.
“Well,” he was finally asked, “what
was your position?”
He hesitated a moment aud then an-
s we rod in the most impressive voice he
could command:
“I’U tell you what, boss, if you wants
to get some one to oil de joints ob you

(ieorgo W. Child* on Vocations.
My rule has been to follow faithfully
tl\at line of business for which I felt the
consciousness of l>eing adapted. In this
view I selected tho newspaper, and to it
I devote my time and talents. I follow
out the ©ne lino of business pursuit
rather than engage in many. A few
days ago certain gentlemen came to in©
to jusk me to engage with them in the
line of banking. “I am not a banker,”
said 1. “I am a newspaper man.”
••But,” they persisted, “we do not ask
for your time, but only your name, and
the use of your name to us will bo worth
$100,000 a year to you.” I did not, how
ever. accede to their request. I had no
inclination to engage with them in tho
pursuit of banking, because it was out
side of my line, and having more than
enough money to meet my modest neces
sities, and without a child iu the world,
I did not feel like taking $100,000 each
year for doing nothing to earn it.
Tlie great trouble with mankind is to
stick to that pursuit of which they have
knowledge. Some men get strangely
mired up. I happen to know a banker
in this town, with good general informa
tion, but with no aptitude for banking.
Yet ho plods along in his line, acquiring
nothing, you may say, and at times the
necessities of his business have com
pelled him to raiso money on the family
plate. Now, ho is out of his line, and
will fail, probably, until ho finds that
which is his real bent and gravitates to
it.—Interview iu Cincinnati Enquirer.

Far away beyond the plains of Meso

lies the rains of the ancient city of Nine

the palaces and walls of tho proud capital
of the great Assyrian empire stood. The
spade and scraper, first of the French
and then of the English, have cleared all

the proud princes of Assyria walked and

the books they read have ail been revealed
to the sight of a wondering world.
Tho most curious of all the carious
things preserved in this wonderful man
ner are the clay books of Nineveh. Tho
chief library of tho city was contained in
the palace of Kanyonjik. Tho clay books
which composed its contents were sets of
tablets covered with very email letters.
Tho tablets aro all oblong in shape, and
when several of them are used for one
book tho first lino of the tablet following
was written at the end of the one pre
ceding it. Tlio writing was done when
tho clay of tho tablet was soft; it was
then baked to harden it. Each tablet was
