THE NAME- 1 DU ABM H SHOE STORE. THE PLACE:— 119 Forsyth St. americus, ga. N. B.—No goods charged at these ent prices, but will be charg- «d at our regular prices. JOHN R. SHAW Americus people who attend the ecumenical counci! of the Methodist church In Washington next October will see some of the antiquities of Methodism. A department of the council will be a devoted to these relics, one of which will bo a little pleco of wood from the Bethesda orphanage. It is nothing more than a splinter, but It is connected with the name of George Wbittleld-a name that stands unsurpassed in the annals of pulpit eloquence. Bishop Asbury’s old tea canister will have a prominent place. The canister Is a simple, old.fashloned concern, and would not attract much respectful at tention at a camp meeting now*a-days. Tet this old canister was the traveling companion of one of the purest and best men of Methodism. What a tale that old piece of tin could tell, were it an animate thiog! It could tell how many miles It had travoled with the bishop. It could tell hoe- many cups of tea the old clergyman used to drink at a meal; It could tell, too, perhaps, of the wonder ful self-denial of the venerable man, as aiaid peril and deprivation ho went about laying the foundations of agreat religious denomination; it could tell, too, no doubt, how the good bishop would re buke sin and sinners without fear and trembling; it could tell in a few short words, many of the noble things in the bishop's life that only a traveling com panion can know. Though old, still the tea canister is well preserved, and would still do on a pinch for a bishop's travel ing companion now. The canister bears the following Inscription: “Asbury'i tea canister—the traveling tea canister of Bishop Asbury.” Bishop Asbury’s pouch is a relic of In terest. It is a simple piece of muslin canvas tied up with an ordinary cotton string. It is a forcible reminder of the bishop's simplicity. And then the bishop’s spectacles; they lie in the glass case side against the pouch. They are the old time “specks." Their frames look as solid as tbo prow of a steamer. There is no delicate workmanship to bo seen, but simply a plain idea of strength can be gathered from them. When Bishop Asbury died the spectacles passed into the possession of Bishop Mc- Kcndree. Kov. Dr. G. C. M. ltoberts’ razor case is an old-timer. It is about the size of a small valise, and looks as though it would hold half a dozen razors. Tho case, though antiquated in looks and a little out of style, has a vigorous appear ance, and could, no doubt, be used by some successor of Dr, Roberts. The old razor caso of tho Rev. Jacob Gruber is In a fair state of preservation, It Is a curioiu looking concern, and lacks the modern ideas in Btylo. Bishop McKcndrce's clothes brush is an oddity. It looks moro like a paint brush than anything else. It is mado of tho ordinary straw, but tho top part of it is wrapped hoavily with cord. There is an interesting group of canes in the antique callcction, among which arc some which vividly recalled tho men of the times of long ago. Somo of tho canes are curiosities in Bhapo and design and many of them are but the silent wit nesses to the simplicity of the Metho- dist preachers. Among thorn are tho following: Tho Sunday cano cf lie Henry Smith. It was made from timber of the First Methodist church among the Indians at Sandusky. A cano from tho timber of Strawbridgo church at Pipe creek, one cut from Mount Lobanon by a party of Baltimoreans, among whom was Mr. William Cortland; another from the rigging loft in Now York city, In which the Methodists first worship ed bofore the building of Wesley chapel in John street; a cano from Mount Olive, once usod by Bishop Bev erly Waugh, and ono which was carried for sixteen years by Bishop Waugh, and which was cut by Rev. Dr. John I*. Dur bin, and presented to tho bishop. It lator came Into the possession of Rev. Thomas Myer and by him was presented to the Maryland Historical Society. One made from wood of the Eutaw street Methodist Episcopal church orig inal pulpit, and carried by Dr. G. C. M. Roberts; one that was once used by Rev. Paul Hitt, another that was used by Bishop Francis Burns of Africa; one cut from a cherry tree under which Straw- bridge preached, and one from Wes ley Grove, City Road Chapel, London, England, and another from the birth place of Rev. Dr, G. C. M. Roberto. Perhaps the most touching and ten der memento of the past is a little paper box that contains locks ot balr of Bishop Ashbury, of the mother of Bishop Asbury, Bishop Emory, Bishop McKendree and Father Smith. Over four score years have come and gone since Asbury was ordained a bishop, and now looks of tho hair from the heads of these great men are treasures, Indeed, and will doubtless attract a great deal of attention at the eenmenoial council, y> black-dhauoht taasameOSHpaihH. Pore spices and flavoring extract! at Dr. Eldrfdge’s Drag Store. He Lift In Haste. The worst soared darkey ever seen in these parts was the lot boy employed on Mr. C. M. Wheatley's place in this city, who on yesterday had an experience which he will not be apt to forget very soon. Tho negro bad gone into the corn crib to get provender for the cows, and had just gathered up an armful of shucks, when a peculiar sound caused him to stop and look about him. Seeing nothing, he started for the door with the shucks, when the noise again caused him to stop and look about. A movement among the shucks caused him to look downward, where he saw a full-grown rattle-snakes qulrming among the shucks In his arms, trying to get away, and jit the same time springing his rattles furiously under the darkey' The effect of the discover was truly wonderful. With a yell which any Comacbe Indian would have proudly acknowledged as hts own, the darkey dropped his wrig- gllng burden, and after exeeuting sovo- ral Intricate figures In the Terpsi chorean art, he 1 went head first through the weather-boarding of the barn like a grape shot. He hit terra firma on a perpendic ular, and those who witnessed his un seemly haste in leaving the spot say that the mud from Ids heels hit the shin gles »t every jump. The snake still Holds the fort. EXCITEMENT IN WEUSTKK. Two Men in Hiding Who Are Terrifying tho Citizens There. It’s Now a Law. The famous Twitty bill is now a law.

Two gentlemen from Webster county were In town Friday to secure help to obtain ammunition to capture two men who are doing mischief and disturbing the peace of the settlement. These men who are supposed to be es caped convicts are armed and secreted In a jungle of about four hundred acres on the plantation of Dr. D. M. Hall. One of them Is said to be either a white man or a bright mulatto and the other blaek. Last Saturday was the first time It was known that these outlaws were In the settlement by one of them shooting a negro boy in the hlp<as he was passing through s thick wood going to the spring. Several other negro boys were shot at as they passed along the roads. This aroused the men of the settle ment and a hunt was instituted. They have beon seen each day since last Sat urday but the posso was too small to capture them In such a thick jungle. Charlie BrooLj got a glimpse of one of tho men as he was retreating like a deer in a close path through this wilderness but he was out of sight before Brooks could draw a bead on him with his riflo. They woro searching for tho men again Tuesday and in passing in the outskirts of tho jungle Joe Henderson heard something snap, and looking in tho dl rection ofjtho sound|saw tho head of both men peered above a log behind which they were lying. One of tho men snap ped his pistol three times at Joe, but it would not fire, and both of them jump- ped up and ran like deers. Joe fired his single barrelled gun loaded with No. shot at them but whether he hit them or not is not known. If ho had the small shot would only have accelerated their speed. They were also seen Wednesday', tho day Gordon and Brooks wero in town, but at such a distance to be safe from their pursuars. That settlement is stirred from center to circumference and women and chil dren are frightened out of their wlta. The settlement Is sparsely settled with white people, which Increased tho fear of the weak and unprotected. Oil Or* A posso headed by the sheriff Is still after the men and every effort will be made to capture them if that Is possible, IS LIFE WORTH LIVING? Not if you go through the world a dys peptic.
