Clothier and Furnisher, 117 Forsyth St., ^ERICTJS, - GA. Sumter County to Build n Jail Second to Few In the State—Architect Norrnian's Finn. Accepted—There Wee Much Com petition In the Bidding. The board of county commissioners yesterday closed the contract for the new jail, with cells and fixtures com plete, for the sum of »V2,600. The con tract was awarded to the Pauley Jail Bull- din g<& Manufacturing Co. of St Louis, Mo., and specifies the entire construction and completion of the edifice according to the plans prepared by Mr. G. L. Norr- raann, the eminent Atlanta architect, who superintends the erection. The successful* bidders received the award of contract over nine other com petitors, and they bear a national repu tation as a firm of integrity and fair dealing. The fact that N’orrman is the architect insures to the county a jail complete in every respect, and the fact is greatly to the credit of those in authority that every precaution for the health of the prisoners lias been taken in the way of sanitary plumbing and ventilation, and when completed, if such an institution can be a source of pride, Sumter county’s new jail will be, as is the court house, a credit to her people. It will bo-erected back of the space between the city hall and county court house, Tlio board of county commissioners erected for onr people a court house wnich is a pride to the state, and the new jail will be entirely in keeping with the ornate and substantial stylo of archi tecture heretofore displayed in our pub lic buildings.

Deputy Sheriff John Lamar went out to DeSoto yesterday morning with a burial case for the remains of Mr. T. H Scrutchin, a prominent planter of Leo county, who died on Friday night, after short illness. Mr. Scrutcliin was a highly esteemed citizen, and many friends mourn his death. Mr. Kaufman, a Hebrew who had been traveling through this and other coun ties peddling his wares, died at his boarding house on Lee street Thursday night, after a fow days illness. Tho body was taken in charge by Hawkins A Loving and the friends of the dead man, who escorted the remains to the South western depot. Tho body was sont by tho 1 p. m. train to Macon, Mr. Kauf man’s home. Pronounced Hopeless, Yet Saved. From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd, of Groton, S. D., we quote; “Was taken with a bad cold, which settled i f Lungs, congh set in and finally tor- nated in Consumption. Four doctors gave mo up, saying 1 could live hut a short time. I gave myself up to my Saviour, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet y absent ones above. My husband was vised to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds *ave it a trial, took in ail, eight bottles; t has cured mo, and thank God I am now a woll and heai ty woman."

Retailors and Jobbers of All that composed the old court house of Sumter county that lias stood for many years in tho center of the public square, linn at last lieen torn away, and nothing now remains but the rubbish thereof. Shortly after the sketch written by Judge Piisbury was published in Tue Times-Recobbeb, an old gentleman ar rived In the city, and at once proceeded to the site where the building had stood. For several momenta he stood silent and meditative, at length he apoke to a citizen, who was standing near by, follows; “Tliirty-flvo years sgo, I was a citizen of this county, and a well-to-do farmer, living In the now Fifteenth district, loved and married one of my neighbor's daughters, and fora shor time life was worth living; I was supremely happy, and thanked our heavenly Father for the many blessings that he bestowed upon me and mine.” Here the old mau pullod his handker chief from his pocket and wiped away the tears that came trickling down Ilfs cheeks. Soon my happiness came to an end, and an unprincipled scoundrel came be tween my love and me. Weeks passed after this came to my knowledge, before I spoke to my wife of my intentions, which were to sue for a divorce and leave the country. Court was in session. I came to Americus and employed Ad. Brown, who duly filed my complaint. But tlie court could not see things as I did, and would not grant me a divorce. I left the court house, vowing that I would never marry until the courthouse was either burned down or torn away. That vow I have kept; though It was hard to do. 1 left my wife, plantation and all, wandered over tho west; fought through the war and courted death. Af’er tlie war was oves I settled In Ter rell county and have lived there ever since. At this time the old man's face bright ened up, and a smile took the place of tears as the citizen asks him what he was going to do. Said he: “I have kept my vow, and as the old house lias been torn away, I will bo married next Sunday afternoon. I came here to see if It was really gone. Yes, sir, I will marry next Sunday afternoon." We want every mother to know that croup can be prevented. True croup never appears without a warning. The first symptom is hoarseness; then tho child appears to havo taken cold ora cold may have accompanied tho hoarse ness from the start, After that a pocu liar rough cough is doveioped, which is followed by the croup. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse; a few doses of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem edy will prevent the attack. Even after a rough cough has appeared, the disease maybe prevented by using this remedy as directed. For sale by W. C.
