AMERICUS. OA., JAN. 25, 1901.
Miss Gcttaman, of Oak Grove, Mo.,
recently got a man anil changed her
name.
Forliaps it is just as well that the re
mains of the late John Brown are not
buried in Kansas. .
Mr. Cleveland talks more like a man
who has just had a terrible nightmare
instead of a good dinner.
Gen. De Wet would have it Under
stood that the sort of peace he would
have is worth fighting for.
The white lilies that adorned the
desk of Senator Qnay were doubtless
meant to represent pnrity.
The fact that JefforBon Davis has
jnst been inaugurated Governor of
Kansas does not seem to have jarred
the universe.
The New York woman who masquer
aded as a man could not have turned
the trick in Kansas, whore whiskers
are the real test.
Wherever the name of woman is ven*
crated.tribute willbe paid to England's
aged IueeD, who his passed through
the valley of the shadowjof death.
She willjho recognized in history “as
one of the world's greatest women.
For sixty-four years she has been the
titular head of one of the most power
ful governments of earth, and during
that time her great influence has ever
been for peace,for progress, for justice.
She has harbored no favorites. No
clique lias been built up around her
throue. She has promoted uo uu-
destrves over the heads of deserves,
Her heart was pure. Her person
pleasing. Her manner gentle. Her
rule was royal, for in the heart of every
loyal subject in her vast domain there
was an ever abiding reverence for'The
Queen."
What part she has had in shaping
the destiny of other empires none save
her Ministers know,but it has not haeu
small. When so groat a mau as Glad
stone placed the name of Labouchere
on his Cabinet list she erased it. She
rould have none of the radical.
When Lincoln was ready for war
with England because of the Trent
affair, she and her husband tempered
the reply that otherwise would have
meant war; and when the I’ashoda in
cident was at its sharpest, she told
Lord Salisbury plainly there must be
no war.
Her influence was all against the
South African war, but she was won
over reluctantly, convinced it would be
a small affair and of short duration.
Her greatest possession was her com
mou sense. This, together with her
goodness gave her the wonderful equip
ment to deal with the multitudinous
questions, society, etiquette, fnmilv
troubles, scandals of court and nobility,
and perplexing affairs of State, con-
stanlv brought before her.
She nobly wore the title "Queen.’

It often happens that people sing
jubilantly at church. "We shall know
each other there," who refuse to know
each other here.

The ship subsidy bill is bad in prin

methods by which it proposes to put

Senate has more respect for Hauna’s
political authority than it has for the
American people it will keep tho sub

nriilS event is a distinctive feature of this store. No other store does it in
I the same radical way. The clearance is decissive; the prices are startling
but our policy demands that our stocks are clean at least once every year. You
can’t buy goods here more than twelve months old at any time. The fact that
styles change but little temps stores to sell nothing but bad stock at a bargain.
We sell everything good and indifferent, that is in small lots or has not lately
come to us. March ist everything shown you here will be absolutely fresh and
new You like such a clean swept stock we’re sure, of course the stocks are
broken-you except that. This sale is made up from odd lots yet it is a tremen
dous collection when all are grouDed together we have something like seven
thousand dollars worth of odd lots It includes certain lots large.or small from
practically every line we sell. The movements is of interest to every man, wo
man and child in Americus and Sumter County, and to all outside who can get
here promptly enough to share the offerings. Some lots may be gone in a halt
dav; but there will be quite an interesting collection for those who come any
time this week—not to compare with the bargains that will be seenred tomor
row and next day; but still better than will be found in any bargain sale out
side of this store. Dont let ordinary things prevent you from attending this
sale if sterling merchandise at half it value is interesting to you.
