2 Q. T. SULLIVAN,
Nuptials of Miss Eunice A. Ray and

The beautiful country resilience of

scene of a very pretty wedding yester

nessed the impressive ceremony.
Miss P.uba Bay was maid of honor
while two younger sisters of the bride,
little Misses Sarah ana Jeannette Ray.
completed the list of her attendants.
Mr. J. K. Lane, of Arlington, was best
man of tho occasion.
Miss Callaway, of Albany, rendered
the wedding march, to tho strains of
which the bridal party entered the
parlor and stood in the presence of
liev. George W. Mathows.
The marriage ceremony was one of
tho most impressive over witnessed.
After congratulations had been ex
tended, the guests wore invited to par
take of a sumptuous wedding dinner.
At 1 p. in. Mr. and Mrs. Graves were
driven to the depot, where they board
ed the Central train for Arlington
amid tbe sincere good wishes of many
friends.
The bride of yesterday was one of
the fairest young women of Georgia
and endowed with all the rare traits
that combine to render woman perfect.

cessful business man of Arlington.

Troops Return Yesterday From Their
Outing.
The Americas Light Infantry march
ed iu from the Bainbridge encamp
ment at noon yesterday, duet laden
and a bit jaded hut withal very well
pleased with their week’alstay in tbe
city of tents.
The encampment was a success from
start to finish.
Nine or ten of the twelve companies
making op the Fourth Regiment were
present, besides two companies from
Alabama and one of artillery.
The latter command, a portion of
tho famous Chatham Artillery of Sa
vanuah, carried three or four field guns
and a Gatling, and its part in the re
cent sham battle was a conspicuous
one, as might be supposed.
The Americus Light Infantry ar
rived at noon yesterday, coming by
the regular Central train. The Co
lumbus companies likewise came this
far with the A. L. I boys.
Tho men marched up from the depot
in heavy marching order and looked
like vetorans with their soldierly Btcp
and warlike equipment. Capt. Clarke
marched the company to the annoy and
dismissed it.
Tuo men have only the highest
praise for Bainbridge and the hospi
tality of her good people.

MORGAN ON THE COTTON CROP
Americus Man Says Conditions are
Flattering.
A recent issue of the Savannah News
contained a column interview with Mr
Irving Morgan, which was most inter
esting on the cotton situation, Mr.
Morgan was reared in Amerious, and is
connected with the well known firm of
CuttB & Co. of Savannah, and his long
experience in tho cotton business will
warrant that hia observations on this
subject be credited with special inter
est. Mr. Morgan has returned from
an extended trip through the cotton
belt and reportB crop conditions most
llattering in most of the cotton grow
lug stateB. Georgia only is excepted
Mr, Morgan is now holding a respon
Bible position with his firm, and per
baps is the best posted man of his ago

If warm weather makes yon feel weary
yon may be sure yonr system needs
oleansing. Use Prickly Asn Bitters
before the hot weather arrives; it will
pnt the stomach, liver and bowele in
order and help von through the heated
term. Dr, E J. Eldridge.
JULY PEACHES ARE PROMISING.
Better Quality Will Be Shipped Hence
Then.
Mr. H. H. Singletary, whose peach
orchards at La Crosse, six or eight
miles wost of Amerions, are the largest
in this section, was in the city yester
day on business. Mr. Singletary has
many thousand fine trees in bearing,
though the continued rains recently
injured the early frnit not a little. He
has made numerous shipments of the
earlier varieties, whioh he says usually
bring better returns than later ship
ments. The Eibertas are all right,
Mr. Singletary says, and if the weath
er continues dry will soon be in prime
condition for shipment. Elberta, the
queen of peaches, will go north in two
weeks to delight the yankee heart and
palate and bring dollars to the coffers
of his brother in Dixie.
THE MODERN BEAUTY.
Thrives on good food and sunshine,
with plenty of exercise in the open air.
Her form glows with health and her
face blooms with its beauty. If her
system needs the cloansing action of a
laxative remedy, she tisos tho gentle
and pleasant Syrup of Fig*, made by
the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
IT BLISTERED THE BRICKBATS.
And Swearers Swore Roundly at the
Heat.
There was nothing in yesterday’s
weather calculated to recall the snow
scenes in Americas last winter, and
some 1*1 citizens with nothing else to
do or talk about cheerfully reminded
the news man of that fact. It wob that
robnst and energetic variety of weath
er that blistered tho brickbats and
brought freckles to the rotund cheeks
of the telephone poles along the street.
And great was the swearing of tho
kicker. You may approximate the
stars in a nail keg, bnild ootton facto
ries in Americus, hang tbe ocean on a
grapevine to dry, wipe the nose of a
cyclone with a towel, cut off the tail
end of a tornado for a keopsake, pot
the sky in a gourd to soak, unbnckle
the belly band of eternity and open up
the sun and moon as health resorts,
but never delude yourself with the
idea that you can skate through this
mundane sphere without colliding
with tho hot weather kicker.
Didn’t Marry For Money.
The Boston man. who lately married
„ sickly rich young woman, is happy

Pills, whioh restored her to perfeot

We do not advertise cut-price
sales the year round, as some mer
chants, but when we do you can
always depend upon finding exactly
what is advertised.
There are times when it is good
business to make reductions, and
this is one of the times.
We have had the largest cloth
ing business this season we’ve ever
had, but we have more goods now
than we want. We want to put our
stock in better condition.
Many lines are broken in sizes.
Collectively these lines comprise
every size in demand. You cannot
fail to be suited. These CUT RRICES
apply to most of the stock, and es
pecially all broken lots and a num*
her of lots that have not moved as
fast as we expected. Don’t know
why. We think they are as stylish
as those that went quickly. We
know one thing will move them and
that is AN EXTRAORDINARY LOW
PRICE.
