"I can do as much work as I could forty years ago. I think all old people, who feel the offects of age, should bene fit their health by using Peruna.” \ III the Best Part of His Life. Mr. j. B. Prince, R. R.2, Cattaraugus, N. Y., writes: “I am not very well sat isfied with the picture that I am sending you, but when the reader ldoks at this picture if he could only realize that the original suffered for forty-live years, the best of his life, until yonr kind advice and prescription cured him, he would know from whence these wrinkles came.

During the hour and a half stop practical talks will be made, while the exhibits will also be offered for examination. * In the circular letter sent out by President Soule, of the College of Ag riculture Is the following Information: "The S|>eclal Educational Train and March by the State College of Ag riculture in connection with the carious railroads Is expected to reach Amerlcus, on March 6 About 12 o'clock, noon.

Amerlcus warehouses have received already nearly 32,000 bales, brought by wagon alone, while compress re ceipts are large as well. Up to this time the receipts at the press aggregate probably 43,000 bales. This fact in itself evidences a good crop In this territory. Last season the AmericuB press handled probably 50,000 bales. With 43,000 already re ceived there this season, the total of *hich Is to be operated In February the 1907-8 crop should ’ easily reach 60,000 bales. Besides the 3,000 or more bales In Amerlcus warehouses, probably *. total of 10,000 bales is held in fife smaller towns near Amerlcus, all'of which will eventually come here. A great deal of this cotton has been sold long since and Is awaiting shipment. Other big lots are strongly held for higher prices. . And present quotations will cause some of it to come out.

TAVLOR IS DEAD AT HOME HERE Aged Citlzeir Has Passed Away. Captain Eleazor Taylor, one of Sumter's oldest and most highly es teemed citizens, passed away, at 9:30 o'clock on Saturday morning at his residence on Church street. Captain Taylor had been 111 for some time, and his death was not unexpected. The passing of tl)ls aged citizen, who long since, had reached the al lotted three score and ten years removes another of that exalted class ot men representative of the chlval- rle South. As soldier and citizen. In war and in peace, he was esteemed a man of highest Integrity. Although a native Alabamian, he came to this section ot Georgia when quite a young man and has. ever since been identified with its growth and development. Twenty-eight years ago he .came to Amerlcus to reside, and since has claimed citizenship. For many years he engaged In ag ricultural 1 pursuits, having a large plantation In Lee county, but in re cent years he lived quietly here. Hts record as a Confederate soldier was a proud one." He went to the front os captain of his command. Company H., Forty- sixth Georgia', from Marlon county. His popularity as an officer was evi denced in the fact that his company exceeded the required number ot men, and Us division was made neces sary. When General Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Captain E. Taylor was the senior ofiicer In command of his shattered regiment, holding the position of his colonel, slain. While a young man he married Miss Hollis of Marlon county, who has since been his loving, tender help meet. She, with their two daughters, Mrs. Sallle T. Fort and Miss Susie Taylor: and two sons. Messrs. James and Jeff Taylor, survive him.— The funeral services, conducted by Rev. Allen Fort, were held at -3 o'clock Sunday from the resi dence on Church street. ' Complete In every detail and a full force of busy employes, ericus' fifth fertilizer plant, that of the Home Mixture Fertilizer Co., and capitalized at $21,000, began opera tions yesterday and ls already turn ing out the finished ..product. 1 Mr. Roy L. Parker is In charge as general manager, and Is quite proud of the complete and up-to-date plant over which lfespresldeB. "Home mixture" fertilizer, a staple brand, ls being made there. The new factory occupies the site of the old cotton compress at the foot of Church street. It fronts both upon the Seaboard and Central Rail ways, thus affording excellent ship ping facilities, and is accessible from the business district likewise. The new phuft is fully equipped with the most modern and up-to-date ma chinery for the manufacture of com mercial fertilizer, and Is indeed a model one of Its kind. Operations were started yesterday as stated, and probably 6,000 or 6,000 tons of "Home Mixture” guano will be made. The plant will not be opera ted at even half its capacity, owing to lateness of the season and prevail ing business conditions generally. The enterprise is established by Amerlcus and Columbus capitalists, the MessrB. Council and Messrs. Har- rold being interested here, while Messrs. Bussey and Bullock represent largely the Columbus Interests. Mr. Frank Harrold Is president,-Mr. Thos. Harrold vice-president, and Mr. L. G. Council secretary and treasurer. As stated, this Is the fifth big fertilizer plant in operation In Am ericas ; the Homs Mixture, Tennessee Chemical; Amerlcus Oil Co., Planters Oil Co; Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co., representing a total Investment of a qunrter million dollars. And this latest enterprise will meet with the seme gratifying success ac corded the others here. CITY LOOKING TO GONGRtSSMAN LEWIS for Addifiesial a Appropria tion for Postoffice. Nothing has been heard from Con gressman Lewis at the present ses sion of Congress in regard to an Increase In the appropriation for tne new postofflee building for Amerlcus. It was understood among his friends In AmerlOps that efforts were to be made os soon as possible looking to wards an Increase In the appropriation by $60,000. A suitable site has already been bought and paid for, but the residue of the present appropriation Is not considered sufficient to put up the kind of postofflee building commensu rate with the size and commercial im portance of Amerlcus. Information on the subject Is In great demand In Amerlcus Just now and some move on the part of Con gressman Lewis Is awaited with much Interest by his friends here, who are trusting to him to get busy at an early day. It has been suggested that the build ing be started with the money al ready appropriated, and trust to Con gress for the remainder of the funds nCCessary to complete the postofflee, but this scheme does, not meet with approval. The friends of Congressman Lewis in this section—and they are many— are confident that he will take steps In the near future to secure the addi tional $50,000 needed to complete the building as Is desired by this city. Such a structure would be sufficiently large to accommodate the growing business of Amerlcus for many years. AMERICUS IS SriLL IN THE GRIP OF LAGRIPPE Dozens of Gases Prevail Here Now. From Leeton to Leztervllle on the north, from East Amerlcus to Muckn- lee’s stormy banks, Amerlcus sneezes' snorts and wheezes, coughs and cuss es In the throes of la grippe. In almost every household la the city there are one or more cases of this distressing malady, and the rainy weather: Is causing It to, spread rapid ly. The old and favorlto panacea for la grippe Is hard to get Just now and anyone with a pint of It In Ills possession Is n good Samaritan In deed If he can bo held up for the It cesslvely damp and changeable weatli er of tho past few weeks.
