CLOAKS.
Macon is taking tho liveliest interest
in the new bureau of information that
will be established in her midst and will
oisseininate her advantages and induce
ments throughout the United States.
The real estate men of Macon have taken
the bull by the horns and have gone to
work armed the determination to push
the new enterpiise through to success
The project that Macon will perfect is
for the thorough and effective advertis
ing of her inducements to home-seekers
and investors and f< r the purpose of ac
quainting them with her attractions and
advantages.
The original and primary idea is to
establish a buieau in charge of some
competent persqn, abundantly provided
with every class of matter pertaining to
the city and section, with facts and fig
ures, to answer every inquiry or sub
stantiate any claim made for the city.
Other cities throughout the south have
in successful operation bureaus of this
kind, aDd send out descriptive matter
concerning the inducements to emigra
tion they have to offer and also in aiding
and arranging for home-seekers who
come south.
Americus has every reason to form a
bureau of this description, in order to
advertise to the outside world her ex
ceptional advantages and induce emi
grants to pitch their lot among us. Such
an enterprise could be started and fos
tered by our real estate men who can
rest assnred that the mercantile classes
will accord them their enthusiastic co
operation.
Who will be the pioneer in this direc
tion and insure to Americus an agency
in whose hands the city will have its at
tractions and its many advantages ad
vertised to the very best advantage?
NKL«ON TIFT,
A'bany't Putrliircha Citizen Died Yes
terday.
They do say—that in the Isles of
Greece, Sappho suffered terribly with
catarrh. Poor giri! She had certainly
never heard of the famous I)r. Hull'i
incomparable Cough Syrup.
Winter Is Upon Ch,
And the necessity arises for a good and
substantial foot covering, otherwise a
cold may be contracted and the deadly
attack of pneumonia may ensue. At
this time of tho year the human anato
my is peculiarly susceptiblo to atmos
pheric influences, and there is no part of
the frame which demands such thorough
protection as the feet, and there is no
place at which such footwear can be pro
cured as at Arthur Inlander's, corner
Jackson and Lamar streets. For many
years lie has made a specialty of shoes,
and at present he carries a stock which
is beyond challenge. Of course umbrel
las are neoded in rainy weather, and in
this line the purchaser can be suited,
whatever may ho the price he wishes t«i
pay. And hats! there is no end to his
latest in Dunlap styles. Look for his ad
tomorrow.
Castoria is truly :• marvelous thing for
children. Doctors prescribe it it, med
ical journals recommend it and more
than a million mothers are using it in
place of Paregoric, Bateman's Drops, so-
called soothiug syrups and other nar
cotic and stupefying remedies. Castoria
is the quickest thing to regulate the
stomach and bowel? and give healthy
sleep, the world has ever seen. It pleas
ant to the tasto and absolutely harmless.
It relieves consiipation, quiets pain,
cures diarrhoea and wind colic, allays
ferverishuess, destroys worms, and pre
vents canvulsions, soothes the chib) and
gives its refreshing and natural sleep.
Castoria is the children's panacea—the
mothers* friend. nol7-eodlw-w2t

The county board of commissioners of
roads and revenues were employed yes
terday afternoon in taking measurements
for the ground work of the new jail that
will soon be under process of construc
tion. Quite a handsome sum will be ex
pended on this structure, making it
decidedly one of the most imposing and
substantial buildings of its character in
the state.
. Alii any, Ga., Nov. 18.—Honorable
Nelson Tift died this morning.
In his death Albany loses her most
prominent citizen and devoted friend.
He may be said to have been the founder
of this city, for he has been a resident
of Albany since he moved here from
Connecticut in is boyhood.
From the beginning of his residence
he has been fully identitied with every
thing that looke l to the advancement of
the town. ,
Col. Tift was a member of the last
constitutional convention and left the
imprint of his experience and wisdom
on many of the most important parts of
that work.
He was an earnest hard worker, and
had amassed a large fortune. For along
time he was engaged in the warehouse
and commission business, his’partner
being his son-in-law, Capt. T. \V. Wool-
folk, of Columbus, Ga.
He was also Interested In a line of
boats and several railroad enterprises.
He was about eighty-seven years of age.
Last week lie returned from Atlanta,
where lie hail been before the railroad
commission in the interest of better de
pot accommodations for Albany.
Mr. Tift Was very wealthy. He is said
to have owned a whole town—Tifton—
named after him. His fortune i*esti
mated at between a half million and two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars

TWENTY-EIGHTH DISTRICT INFEST

A llitf Haul.
A party of four or live men from
Americus came to Abbeville last Thurs
day, to lish in the Ocmulgee river. They
were abundantly rewarded. On Satur
day morning they returned with 000
pounds of.catfish, trout and suckers.
They were llshing for the market, and
estimated that they would realize be
tween $00 and $70 on the fish at 10 cents
per pound. The Ocmulgee river and
swamp affords a good living to numbers
of people who come from a distance to
fish and hunt.—Abbeville Times.
These fish were brought to Americus
and were put on sale, but a hitch occur
red and local fish mongers demanded
that a tariff of $10 be saddled on them,
The authorities acceded to their request,
aud in tho future fish caught in sur
rounding waters cannot be sold without
a license.
Three consecutive fires in the 28th
district, about eight miles from Ameri
cus on the Flint river, aroused the sus
picion of those residing in the vicinity
and pointed strongly to incendiary ori-1
gin. Rigid investigation resulted in the j
arrest of Russell Westbrook, col., who
was lodged behind the bars in the county
jail to await trial.
Only on last Wednesday week a large
store was burned to the ground, the ori
gin of the fire being incendiary. Messrs.
L. G. Hudson. M. J. Hass and Ebb West
brook have all lost valuable property in
this way. The people in the neighbor
hood are incensed at these outrages and
they will leave no stone unturned to fer
ret out and punish the tire fiend. Sus
picion casts a shadow on se/eral charac
ters living not very far from the scene of
the conflagrations and their movements
are closely watched, with a view qf ob
taining evidence sufficient to authorize
their detention until they can have a
hearing.
Such lawlessness should and will be
stopped, and the culprits when captured
will be made an example of

You Lave beard a great deal about tbe advance on Carpets in
consequence of tbe McKinley bill, and tho half has hardly been told-
but my opposition to a protective tariff lends me to do nil that I can to
lessen tbe burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell von
Carpets AS 10W AS YOU EVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD-
LESS OF THE TARIFF.
To enable me to do this I sell for CASH, and at MUCH
SHORTER PROFITS than I could do on a CREDIT. I will take
great pleasure in showing my Carpets to everybody.

We are surrounded by dangers all the
way from the cradle to tho grave. “ The
great wonder is,” as Pat says, “that
after getting out of our cradle, we live
long enough to reach our grave.” Thou

avail themselves of the remedy within
easy reach of thorn. Dr. Pierce’s Gol

them. •
For all chronic or lingering coughs,
weak lungs, spitting of blood, brochitis,
shortness of breath, asthma and kindred
ailments, it is a most potent remedy. It
cleanses the blood, invigorates the liver,
improves digostion, and builds up both
flesh and strength. Dose small and

Thu Bethel colored Baptist church is
now not only complete but is entirely
free from all indebtedness. When Rev.

About the first of December Mr. II.
A. Harris, the popular grocer, removes
to the corner of Jackson and Forsyth
streets, and will after that date occupy
the two commodious store rooms at that
point.
This removal has been necessitated by
the fact that Mr. Harris’ business lias
entirely outgrown his present store
house capacity, and he finds that a new
and larger house is required for the
proper distribution of his large stock of
fancy and family groceries.
It is hardly necessary to state that
this business will be transferred to an
other part of town, as all of Mr. Harris'
customers will he sure to look him up,
but to save them any trouble it may as
well be mentioned.

When a man goes wrong “there is al

When a man goes right we never hear
that there is a woman at tho top of it,
but there is.—Galveston News.
