THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIHKS-RECORDEU: FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1901.
ARE GOING TO BORE
FOR OILSINTEXAS.
Americas Men Thinking of Investing
There.
FRIENDS ARE COINING WEALTH

AMERICUS PAYS
GRAND TRIBUTE.
To Glorious Cause For Which the
South Contended.
The recent rich discoveries of oil in
Texas causes several people in Ameri
ens to tarn their eyes towards the snn
set, and some of these may leave ere
lone to try their fortunes in oily dirt
Men there are making millions, while
here they make pennies only.
At least, that is the mav some of
them regard tbo sitnation.
Of coarse thousands of others have
gone there from every seetion of the
country, but there appears to be no
limit to the disoovery of oil lands, and
"there’s room for many more.”
An Americas merchant received vet'
terdayk letter from a near relative,
who recently went to Beaumont with
$500 in his pocket. He bought a piece
of land; the same week oil was discov
ered upon it, and he sold this purchase
for $100,000 and went home rich.
The rush to Beaumont is only equal
ed by the rush to California in "the
days of forty nine” and everybody is
going out to boro .for oil.
COLDS
The quickest relief, for a
cold, is by Scott’s emulsion of
cod-liver oil.
We all have colds, you can
try it and see. You will find
the edge taken off in a night;
and, in three or four days,
you’ll be wondering whether
that cold amounted to any
thing anyhow.
That's relief. If you tackle
it quick, the relief is quick and
complete, if you wait till the
cold is in full possession of
head and lung, why, of course,
the relief is quick if it comes in
a week.
A little emulsion won't clear
and restore your whole breath
ing-machine in a minute; don't
be looking for miracles.
We'll send you a little to try, if you like.
SCOTT & UOWNE, 409 Pearl street, New York.
NEGRO KICKED AT HANDRUFF3.

morning with a very belligerent blaok
prisoner, Glint Harris. The negro

FLOWERS STREWN ON GRAVES.
While Chieftain of Departed Braves
Tells of Their Deeds of Valor and
the Principles For Which thev Died
A Day to Be Remembered.
Once again has Americas, with all
the Southland, paid a tearful tribute
of love imperishable to the memory of
that sacred cause for which she con
tended and lost all Bave honor. An
event so significant and a cause so gb-
sred cannot fail to enlist all the nobler
sentiments of a cbivalrio people, and
to consecrate the offerings that on yes
terday were laid npon the graves of
onr hero dead.
In this tribute of love to her dead
the South stands peculiarly alone. It
is the day of her sorrow and her joy,
and she shares it with none save be
whose heart beats responsive to her
own. He only may dare intrade npon
the sacred preoinots of her holy grief.
None others may share with her the
joy of a record unsallied and altogeth
er glorious.
Her martial victories, her defeat,
and the splendid triumphs growing
out of that defeat constitute her heri
tage, to which she points as the proud
est trophy of a race upon whose foot
steps glory has attended from the birth
of the Republic to the day her star set
in apparent hopelessness and gloom
upon the fated field of Appomattox.
It was with snch feelings and memo
ries that a devoted people went forth
on yesterday to again pay holy tributo
to their dead and deck with the first
flowers of spring the graves of those
who rest in our cemetery.
Americas has rarely witnessed such
a demonstration of like kind.
At 3 o’elock business was entirely
suspended and Confederate veterans,
our devoted women, the eons and
daughters of those who wore the gray,
assembled at the library and thence
wended their way to Oak Grove oeme-
tery where, in peaceful sleep, lie more
than 300 Confederates, valiant sons of
a dozen states,
Capt.M. B. Counoil marshaled the
oolumn, at the front of which the
Americus Light Infantry marohed to
the tap of muffled drum. More than
500 school children, all carrying gar-
ands, were in tine as well.
Capt. J. E. Mathis,Mr. U. S. Lockett
and Mr. VV. D. Havnes acted as
mounted aides to Marshal Connoil
At the cometery a vast throng had
already gathered, fully 3,000 people be
ing packed around the speaker's stand
After a service of song a beautiful
prayer was offered by Rev. George W,
Mathews, of First Methodist oburch.
fSMrs. James A. Davenport, president
of the local chapter Daughters of the
Confederacy, npon behalf of that so
ciety of patriotio women, presented to
the veterans the Southern Cross of
Honor, eaoh old soldier reoeiving from
her hand the coveted emblem of
heroism.
When General Evans aroso to ad
dress the vast conoonrse his old com-
rados greeted him with a mighty yell,
whioh was taken np in applanse by ail
present.
It was a yell be had heard npon
hundred battle fields, and the speaker
was visibly affeoted.
General Evans’address was not of
great length, other featores of the pro
gram having consumed so much time
already, but for quite thirty mlnutos
he held the wrapt attention of his au
dience as he told over again the story
of "a storm-cradled nation that fell” a
atory sad indeed, bnt one whioh awakes
a responsive eobo in the heart of every
Sontherner; a story that will never
grow old.
It was not tho first time in history
when might, with bloody hand and
ansheathed sword, bad intervenod to
arbitrate the issue between right and
wrong, s in this init ance.
Right has never yet relied npon tho
sword for its ohief argument, nor has
sheer physical force ever been power
ful enough lo disturb tho equipoise of
eternal truth and justice. Munitions
of war and brute forco have settled
polieies, but amid the thunder of war
and the linzzas of vietory trntb, undis
turbed and unshaken, has calmly
awaited.tho day of vindication.
Time has vindicated the position of
tho South, if she needed any at all,and
confident of the righteousness of the
cause for whiehhe r gallant sons con
tended, a devoted people wilt ever do
thorn reverence, as on yesterday.
When General Evans bad concluded
his masterly address tho hundreds of
devoted women, Confederate veterans,
their sons and danghters, with holy
reverenoe placed wreathes and garlands
npoli the graves of their immortal dead,
There wee a floral emblem for each
grave and all of the three hundred
were decorated. It was a scene alike
pathetie and beantifnl.
The Light Infantry fired the nanal
salute of three gone, and the exeroises
thus ended.

The Doctor answered. “Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption tvrmna

monotonous record was made hoar after
hour until 9 a. m. today, when no Bigu
