TI10 two year old girl baby of Mr.

Mr. Worthy Gives It up for Another
Place.
Mr. W. B. Worthy, who for twenty-
six years has .been bookkeeper and
salesman at J. W. Harris’ hardware
store, gives up today to take a similar
position with the Sheffield- Huntington
r °. Dor more than a quarter century,
since August 1881, he has been with
'his honse, so long, in fact, a* to seem
a part of it. His friends hope his ten
ure of the new position assumed today
will be quite as long and pleasant.
CONDITION OF COL. J. R. WILLIAMS
Is Calculated to Arouse Some Ap
prehension.
While Col. James It. Williams was
resting more comfortably yesterday
than on the day before, his general
condition la calculated to cause some
slight apprehension among his friends.
His ailment, it' is feared, Is gastritis.
His brother, Dr. Beauregard Wllllama,
W Houston, arrived yesterday and will
remain with him for several days.
Hundred* or warm friends of this ge
nial gentleman will hope for hla very
early recovery. ” ,

George W. Buudrlck, the celebrated
murderer who on November 9tb last
escaped from the Americas jail and,
after dodging the ofllcers for nearly
six months finally surrendered two
weeks ago in a California town, Is even
now on i-is way to:Georgia.
The guards, with their prisoner, will
get hack next Tuesday.
Bundrlck was fully Identified by the
Crisp county ofllcers and made,no-klck
upon coming back to the scene of his
brutal crime, prebapsto pay tbe penal*
tv therefor.
A telegram to the Cordole Post an
nounced that the departure of the
officer* with their prisoner had been
delayed lour days by a snow storm,
which probably blocked the railroads
in that section.
Of Bundrick's return to Cordele the
Post has the following:
“The jail has been recently cleaned
out, and la now In splendid sanitary
conditio!. No prisoners have been
confined ttfere lor some time.
“One of the Diebold steel cells will be
used. Tbe autborites have firmly de
cided not to again trust Bundrlck out
ofthecountr. He will be lodged in
the new county Jail as soon as It is
ready to receive him.
“It Is said by tboae who know the-
man that he will scarcely be recogniz
ed when be reaches here.
“That he is no longer tbe stout and
robust man that he once was, but that
hit health has failed, and that he now
is nothing more than a skeleton.
“No announcement has been made as
to what steps will ,bo taken when Bun
drlck arrives. It Is thought, however,
that be will not be detained long In
prison, inasmuch as he has expressed
himself willing and anxious to pay the
penalty of his crime as quickly as pos
sible.
‘It Is probable that a special sesslo
of court will be convened at once, and
that he will be resentenced and banged
at an early date,"

So .this city Is going to introduce
something new In the way of celebra

Americus Is going to have a corner

tion, for one and the same building, at
one and the same time.
If that is not unique aud ont of the
ordinary, what 1st .
Corner atone laying! are frequent.
So are opening day exercises.
But whoever beard of tbe corner
stone being laid at the same timo the
opening day celebration la on.
That is what It la now' proposed to
do ibr tbe Third District Agricultural
College. v,
Messrs. Childers and Ray, of tbe
committee having the matter of a prop'
er celebration In charge, visited tbe
college building yesterday and had a
talk with the contractor.
They were advised that It would be
possible to arrange for the cornerstone
to be omitted trom the building until
tbe opening day lu August, when the
college building will be completed and
ready for tho inspection of tbe Third
Georgia district.
This was highly satisfactory. The
committeemen then bit on the happy
idea of uniting tbe comer stone laying
ceremonies with tbe opening day c^le
bration already decided on.
So It la probable that thecorner atone
of tbe agricultural college will not be
laid until itho building Is completed,
and that a doable program will be ar
ranged for the occasion.
It is proposed to make it a memor
able event, one worthy of tbe great ed
ucational stride the district It taking

People from all over the Third will

career under tho most gratifying aus
