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. J. J. G-RANBERRY, AGT. REUNION. THE TWELFTH GEORGIA REGIMENT TO CONVENE OI.OKl.NU OF THE PIEDMONT. Two .Milliner I’erforiuatir 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.

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.

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.” THE STREET OARS- TREMENDOUS THE RUSH! SOMETHING DEFINITE SHOULD BE.

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.
