"tJisBa* dss meat, damn you, or we'll
kiHyoa!"
Tbos*, orert, the words that sounded
upon the tympanum of Ben Patterson’s
ear* just about dark yesterday afternoon.
They were uttered by a powerfully built
negro, whose tone indicated that he
meant exactly what he said, and they
thrilled Ben completely.
No sooner did he hear them than he
recognised the fact that he hail stumbled
upon a highway robbery. And what
was more important to him be realized
that he was the man who was to be
robbed.
Ben Patterson is a hard working negro.
He iB well known in Americus and has
the respect of all. After he completed
his day’s work yesterday he came to the
city and bought ten pounds of meat,
which was to furnish rations for himself
and family for some days to come.
Taking his purchase in his arms he
started home. lie lives in the northern
portion of tne city and the nearest way
to his destination lay along Jackson
street, by the works of thu Americus
Construction Company.
He was crossing the Southwestern
railroad, just the other side of these
works when the command already told
of greeted him.
It was about 7:30 o’clock and as it was
scarcely dark ho could see two stalwart
negro men advancing towards him.
'Wishing to avoid trouble and to save
his meat Ben mended bis gait when he
I^pard the greeting and saw the men
who gavo it. But the two negroes hur
ried up also. So close were tfypy upon
their prey that they soon boro down
upon him.
A struggle ensued and Ben was about
to get away when ono of his assailants
drew a knife and dealt a blow, cutting a
long and ugly gash in his right side.
The other knocked him down. They
then secured the meat and went through
tijeir victim’s pockets to see what else
they could find.
Ben attempted to call for help, but as
he did so a large hand was placed over
his mouth, while the negro who had the
knife put it to his throat and swore he
would kill him if he gave the alarm.
Thoronghly overpowered and badly
frightened, Ben Patterson was forced to
siftmit to being robbed.
The robbers found nothing in Ben’s
pockets worth taking, so they took the
meat, all that ho had, and hastily made
th(ir escape.
Ben lost no time in coming to the
business portion of the city—only a few
blocks distant—to report what had hap
pened and have his wound dressed.
The cut is not by any moans a serious
one, but it was a formidable looking
gash. The attack was a bold one, there
being a number of houses near by and
two electric lights blazing a short dis
tance olT, while it was not yet dark.
It is the opinion of their victim that
the robbers arc strange negroes. Bon
knew neither of them, hilt would know
them if he were to seo thorn again.

“No,” said a well-known statesman,
'“l (hall never believo that woman has
the proper judgment and sense to cast a
ballot, or interfere In politics while slio
is so weak-minded as to passively siif-
Jer, year after year, from diseases pecu
liar to females, when every newspaper
she picks up tells of the merits of Dr.
Pierce,* Favorite ^Prescription. Not to
take advantage of Tills remedy is cer
tainly ah indication of mental weak
ness!”
There is a wholesome kernel of truth
Injide the rough shell of this ungallant
speech. The “Favorite Prescription" is
invaluable in all uterine troubles, In
flammations, ulcerations, displacements,
nervous disorders, prostration, exhaus
tion, or hysteria. For run-down, worn-
out women, no more strengthening tonic
or nervine is known.

Ladies
You are invited to call on Tully Bros,
and see how they make old feathers bet
ter than new by their new steam feather
process. Their work is first-class or
they make no charges. Wm. M. Tully
will call for your feathers and return
them the same day. Give them a call as
they will he in the city hut a short
while.
Ben Bussell is making the Waycross
Reporter hum. It is one of the best
weeklies In the state, hut how could it
be anything else with the gifted Ben at
its helm ?
We Are a Nation of Liar*.
This is what Wm. M. Tully says.
Some of us are so anxious for the soft
things of life that we want to go every
where on “feathery beds of ease.”
Some of us realize this wish hut when
we do we want those beds of ease reno
vated. If not they will be beds of dis-\
ease.
Remember that when you get up in
the morning feeling tired and languid
and without energy don’t say “I believe
I got ’er chill.” It is simply because
you have been on a bed where you have
been breathing the germs of disease for
eight hours.
It is enough to scare you out of ten
years’ growth to know that you have
been sleeping on the sanctified remains
of a dead rat, whi<^h you are apt to do if
your mattress was made up of unclean
feathers.
Wm. M. Tully can save these years to
you by thoroughly renovating your mat
tress and re-covering It again with now
ticking for less than you can buy the
material. You would be sur
prised to see how beautifully white they
can make your feathers. They are ex
perienced men. Wo all join fervently
with him who said “blessed be the man
who invented sleep.”
*Wo also say thrice “Blessed is •be
who secures to us calm and undisturbed
slumber.” Wm. II. Tully does this and
at remarkably small figures.
If you sleep well you arise a new man
ready to meet the day’s battles, and
when you are done lie nown to an elysl-
an of peace on a clean, now, soft feather
bed bed.
If the daughter of a Fife can be christ

A Disfigured Countenance.
Many people who would scarcely no
tice an armless or legless man will in
stantly detqct and remark on any blem
ish of the human face, and dive into all
sorts oPspeculations as to its cause and
attendant circumstances. If you doubt
this assertion become possessed of a dis
colored optic and noto how much atten
tion it will invite. A black eye is gen
erally avoidable, hut blotches, pimples,
and other scrofulous and eruptive marks
steal upon us without warning, and are
frequently the first intimation of the
fact that our blood is going wrong. A
prompt and systematic use of P. 1*. P.
(Prickly Ash, Poke 1 Root and Potassium)
will purify the blood, cleanse the skin
and give back to the face natures famil
iar, ruddy signs of health. Get it of
your druggist.
Mr. Gladstone is over SO years old and
is failing fast. The grand old man will
soon pass away and the world will lose
one of its brightest lights.
To the Public.
All feathers called for and returned
without extra charge, you must not stop
for money for you can have your beds
renovated and pay toll out of them and
then have a larger bed in hulk when
you get It hack. Get the dirt and filth
out of your beds and pillows.

Of Tully Brothers.
