THE AMERIOUS WEEKLY T1MES-RECOLDER: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER C, 1891.
CARPETS! REGS! MATTINGS!
Some Beautiful New Styles JutT Added to
th : Large Stock ox Hand.
You have heatd a ereat deal about the advance on Carpets in
consequence of (he McKinley bill, and the half has hardly been told ;
but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do all that I can to
lessen the burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell you
Carpets AS IOW AS YOU EVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD
LESS OF THE TARIFF.
To enable me to do this I sell for CASH, and at Ml CH
SHORTER PROFITS than I could do on a CREDIT. I will take
fjreat pleasure in showing 1 mj' Carpets to everybody.

Night
At an Early Date—The Twelfth Georgia
Regiment to . Ke-assemble In the City «»f
Americus—All Comrade* Invited to Par
ticipate.
Messrs. II. T. Davenport, Jno ii. Fel
der and J. A Ansley have been appoint
ed a committee to perfect arrangements
for a reunion of the 12th Georgia Regi
ment in Amcricus at an early date.
The old Twelfth of Georgia has an
army record for bravery and duty ex
celled by few regiments in the Confed
erate service, and a reunion of its mem
bers will bring to each recollections
which, while of sadness and grief will
serve to recall the memories of men with
whom they stood side by side in the
time of trouble and blood-shed.
The committee extends to each and
every member of the old Tweflth a most
earnest and cordial invitation to partici
pate in these exercises, and want it dis
tinctly understood that a written invita
tion is not necessary.

Death of Walter Crisp.
At ten minutes past nine o’clock Mon
day night, Walter, second son of Hon.
and Mm. Chas. F. Crisp, died of typho-
malaria, in the eighteenth year of his
age.
Taken from earth in the very morning
of his bright young manhood, words fail
in an attempt to depict the sorrow that
has fallen upon thn whole community,
for he was known by all and loved by
everyone who knew him. Generous and
open-hearted among his friends, genial
and pleasant to all. In social intercourse
light hearted and brilliant, but with that
kindly humor that left behind no hurt
or sting. Courageous, upright and with
a manly fearlessness of expression that
compelled respect and admiration, yet
with that tender delicacy of manner
which marks the true gentleman. There
is a sad vacancy in the social circle of
which he was a so prominent figure that
cannot be filled.
To the grief-stricken parents and fam
ily is extended tho sympathy of many
warm friends who now mourn with
them the loss of this bright young pres
ence.
Death of Mr. John Turpin.
Mr. John Turpin, a worthy and highly
respected citizen of Americus, passed
away Tuesday and joined the silent
majority beyond the great unknown.
Mr. Turpin had suffered a long illness,
and all that loving hearts and kind
friends could do was done for him, but
the grim destroyer Death came and re
leased the weary body from pain, and
tho soul passed from earth to meet its
maker.
The grief-stricken wile and little
daughters have the sympathy of many
friends.
and One M
(if Kins Solomon.
Atlanta, November 4.—The engage
ment of the great King Solomon in At
lanta is draw ing to a close to the regret
of all who have seen the brilliant pro
duction.
The last matinee performance, but
one, takes place this afternoon.
The last night performance occurs to
morrow night.
The attraction has been eminently a
successful one, and all who have wit
nessed it have been delighted.
The closing performance will proba
bly be attended by larger crowds than
ever, for all who have not seen it will
certainly want to do so before it leaves.
This afternoon's performance occurs
at 5 o’clock.
To morrow afternoon the performance
commence at 7 o’clock.
Friday afternoon the concluding pro
duction will be given from 4:30 to 0.
The members of the King Solomon
troupe have, outside of the regular per
formances, furnished some excellent and
attractive entertainments.
By these are meant the acrobatic ex
hibitious of the athletes in the troupe
and the skirt dancing of some of the
girls.
Either of these have been fully as good
as could be seen on any opera house
stage.
The special skirt dances, the last of
which will occur to-morrow and Friday
afternoon, are danced by Misses May
Deys, Sallie Watson, Nor all Parkhnrst,
and Josephine Julinus.
“The power of music, all our hearts
allow,” but there are a few ignorant
persons who have not learned yet that
all colds are cured by Dr. Bull’s Cough
Syrup. Buy It and try it, 25 cents a
bottle.
OLD LOVER*S
A Queer Wedding Occur* To-Night—Th
Groom 1*44 and the Bride 70.
Atlanta, November 4 —The queerest
wedding that has ever been known will
take place to-night.
Iliram Lester, aged 124 years, and
Mrs. Mary E. Moseley, aged 70, will
unite tbeir destinies.
If appears that tho wedding will be for
the financial benefit of the old couple,
and a charge of twenty-five cents will
be made to see the knot tied. It will
be a sort of marriage for the gate re
ceipts.
But old Hiram says he loves his wrin
kled bride. He first met her when he
was an inmate of the poor-house at
McDonough, and she was the matron
When the poor-house was changed in
to a farm, and Mrs. Moseley lost her job,
old man Lester paid her regular visits,
and has been paying her devoted atten
tion for ten years.
Hiram Lester is probably the oldest
man living in the world. A few months
ago the Journal published an account of
his life and printed his picture. Tho
sketch was written by Dr. J. W. Lee,
and for that reason he was asked to per
form the marriage ceremony, but he de
clined to help the “side” show.
Dr. I. L. Gunter of Henry county has
consented to perform the ceremony,
which takes place to-night at 9 o’clock
in the Edgewood avenue theatre.
Hiram has intimated that he intended
to kiss Mary smack in the mouth just as
soon as she is “all liis’n.”

In this city in the interestsof the colored
race.
The sheet is well edited and well
printed, and if it receives the support
from its own people to which its merit

powerful factor in the upbuilding and
advancement of the negro in the south.

all personal feeling in the matter and
co-operate for the general good.
The proposition made to the owners
after the receiver’s sale will probably be
accepted if reiterated, and with careful
study it appears to be, for both sides,per
fectly fair.
The guarantee of ii per cent, interest
on the purchase price secures to the
bondholders a first-class income from
the investment, while the indemnity
from the damage suits promised them
makes of the stock a sure call.
There is no doubt that the owners
now see their mistake in not accepting
the first proposition made them, as by
the letter quoted yesterday they now
are anxious to deal with our people on
the original terms.
Of course the appearances are now
against the spirit of good faith in which
they recently proposed to deal, but it
must be considered that the operation of
the line is a necessity, even if the terms
be not so advantageous as they might.
Cannot some good, conservative citi
zen go to work and secure the necessary
company which will operate the now
worse than useless line.
The spirit of the citizens, meeting
Tuesday evening was that tho road be
operated or removed from the streets,
where, in its present hindering position,
it only amounts to an obstruction.
W. C. Russel], druggist desires to in
form the public, that he is agent for the
most successful preparation that has yet
been produced for coughs, colds and
croup. It will loosen and relievo a
severe cold in less time than any other
treatment. The article referred to is
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It is a
medicine that has won fame and popu
larity on its merits and one that can
always be deperded upon. It is the
only known remedy that will prevent
croup. It is put up in 50 cent and $1
bottles.
