THE AMERICAS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, JULi 3, 1891. “GIMME DAT MEAT!*’. BOLD HIGHWAYMEN HOLD UP • WELL-KNOWN NEGRO JltOrkH, Cut, Knock,*! ml Kritm-d o( HI, umlon. by Tto*. Sfto-ottort I'.rkic* -Nrur the S*|imr,. Atone* ITtoAw u Klcctric I.lght. "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. llsr.ti. Hut - 1 “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. The Newt In De«oto. j Letter List. DeSoto, July 1.—Mr. G. W.

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.
