xaerB is no let up of the grip in
Americas, bat while hundreds are ill
with the insidious disease there have
been no fatalities.
So far but one citizen has volunteer
ed to take stock in that proposed cot
ton factory. Certainly not a very aus
picious beginning.
i! T. Hawkins, charged with vio
latin'’the local option lawp, will be
■iven’a committal trial before Justice
tiraham this afternoon.
It is said that two or three towns in
this immediate section are infested
with smallpox-hundreds of cases,
nne had best be careful.
Sow that our neighbor, PrestoD,

ty years, Americas people with the
grip can get “medicine” there.
Eggs are now within the reach of all,
whether or not the grocery man 1b
looking. Country wagons sell them
st 10 cts. and grocers at 121 cts.
A fertilizer plant affording employ
ment for two hundred men is as good
ss a cotton factory. Americus will
hsre this, but there’s room for the cot
ton mill as well.
Four wagons loaded with country
rsisod hay and another with fine home
raised hams made a picture of prosper
ity on I.amar street yesterday. And
there are others.
The extremely cold weather or some
thing else kept the people ont of town
yesterday, and the streets presented
something of a Sabbath-like appear
ance for a while.
The tuneful mule and pungent gu
ano continue to leave Americas for the
cotton patch in the country. It iB in-
deed a strong combination to do battle
for King Cotton.
SheriffE. I,. Hell went to Milledge-
ville yesterday in charge of Mr. R. C.
Harris, who was adjudged insane here
several days ago and ordered sent to
the State Sanitarium.
That cotton factory and second
gusuo factory to be built in Americus
will not block the route of the Bruns
wick & Birmingham Railway. It will
be built to run bv both.
Several stores here are displaying
lines of gaudy valentines, and the
hearts of the love-lorn swain and the
other giddy yonng thing are filled
with happy anticipation.
The uew regiments to be recruited
in Atlanta will afford any Americus
youth who desires to go to the Phil
ippines abundant opportunity. Bat
ire there any such here?
Rev. S. C. Dean is still at Gulf Port,
Mise. and a letter received from him
receutiy by a frien I here announced
that he would scarcely return to
Americas before next week.
Americus is going to do something
this year in the way of building np
her manufacturing interests. The
necessity of such a step is apparent,
and our people must do it.
1 ’tie of Sumter's best farmers said
yesterday that he would be glad to get
' cents for bis next ootton crop.
While anxious for more he will be
alad to make such a deal now.
A hundred oities tremble with fear

smashing Kansas joints child's play
compared with fighting “tigers.”
A shrewd citizen who bought a piece
of realty at public sale yesterday was
ottered a profit of $20) on his invest

Tho many friends of Mr. A. K.
