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?

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.

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.

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 INCENDIARY TORCH. TWENTY-EIGHTH DISTRICT INFEST ED BY A BAND Of Inrendiarle. Who Have Applied III. Torch PromUcuoo.lr-Two ll.ro. and a Store arc Fired The People .re Oil*- 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 SAFE AND EFFECTIVE, Ay.r't Pills are Indispensable as a family medicine, both for children and adults. p or constipation and all Irregularities of the stomaeh and Iwwels. they have no erpial, and being suitar-coatod. are pleasant to take and long retain their virtues. ■ Aver s Pills have been used In my family 1 •• I have taken Ayer’s Pills for rheum* for over thirl, years.

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 sands aro out of health—morose, mor bid and miserable, because they do not avail themselves of the remedy within easy reach of thorn.

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

But the colorrd divine sur mounted all obstacles and now the church is not only paid for, but an addi- Au Important lieiiiovxl. 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.
