REUBEN H.SLAPPEY DIES AT RIPE AGE NEW TICKET IS NAMED FOR THAT OF SHERIFF former Citizen of Ameri- cus is Dead. Since his removal trom Americus two t>r three years ago. The death of Mr. Slappey followed a long illness, and therefore, was not unexpected. Mr. Slappey was ripe in years, hav- ■^ng passed the 75th milestone in the ..long journey of useful life. The body was brought to Americus rat noon yesterday, accompanied by his sons, daughters and numerous friends, and laid beside that of his wife in Oakgrove Cemetery. Though a native of Crawford coun ty Mr Slappey was for fifty years a •resident of Schley county and regard ed It as bis home. In former years he had large farming interests there, and •was held in high esteem among neigh bors and friends. ■For sixteen years lie was county .commissioner of Schley, and perform ed other public trusts as well. ,Hls wife, who was Miss Mary Ste wart, of Schley, died a few years since while the family resided in Americus. They are survived by two daughters, Misses Lizzie and Callle Slappey, and three sons, Messrs. v\ ii- Jlam, Thomas R. and C. A. Slappey. Mr. Jarrett J. Wilson has entered the race for sheriff of Sumter county, with Mr. George Rodgers on the tick et as deputy. This conclusion was forecasted by the friends of these wellknown gentlemen, many of w'hom had urged their candidacy, and their formal announcement will be a source of pleasure to many who will give such a popular ticket their support. Both gentlemen are too well known in Sumter county, where they were born and reared, to require Introduc tion or commendation. Mr. Wilson very ably served his county as repre sentative In the Legislature, modestly declining to otter for a second term, and now devotes his time to his fann ing interests near Leslie. Mr. Rodg ers was recently elected to the board of aldermen of the city by a very flat tering vote. He holds a responsible position at the Seaboard shops here and, like Mr. Wilson, will add to the strength of the new ticket. BILL WIMBISH IS AGAIN IN TOILS FOR FORGERY Americus Negro is Cauglt by Police. Bill Wimbush, an Americus negro who recently completed a long term If Ton Bead This in the~county chaingang, is ready for another term, this time in the State penitentiary upon a more serious charge, that of forgery, with which he stands confronted. And the proof against the bad Bill Is strong and conclusive. i He got the goods upon forged ord ers upon merchants, and freely ad mits the offense. The goods have been recovered by the police, and are held as damaging evidence against him. The case against WimbuBh ft will bo to learn that the leading medl* cal writers and teachers of all the several schools of practice recommend, in too strongest terms possiblo, each and every ingredient entering into the composition of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the cure of weak stomach, dyspepsia, catarrh of stomach, "liver complaint, toroid liver, or bi iousness. chronic bowel aftectlons.and all catarrhal disease of whatever region, name or nature.

Uamostusefulagenl It Matters About the Nothing adds so much to the attractiveness of a pretty home as does pretty matting, and the season approaches when the sitting room, the parlor and sleeping rooms as well should be given their new spring dressing. From the standpoint of attractive ness 1 and sanitation, nothing equals matting as a floor cov- , — was erinsr. worked up by Chief Feagin, the best & "Old Sleuth" in Georgia, Lieut. Bar- row and Officer Johnson, who not only caught and caged Wimbush but re covered ever one of the articles which he secured upon the forged orders. These consisted of a fine suit of clothes, pair of shoes, hats and other articles for the Wimbush wardrobe. The suit of clothes were secured from the Pinkston Co. upon a forged order from Mr. M. B. Council, while the shoes and hat came from Cohen’s on another forged Council order. Wimbush also tried to work Ry- lander Shoe Co. on a forged order bearing the name of Mr. T. B. Hooks, but Walter Rylander was too w’lde- awake to be caught, and Bill fled the scene without getting the coveted goods. Th> ortlers, all of which are in pos sesion of Chief Feagin, are scrawled with a pencil on dirty bits of paper and the flap of an old gummy envel op, and upon their very face indicate a punk job. The only surprising part of It is that anyone would be caught. When confronted at the barracks with the clothes and other articles Wimbush at, first denied the story but finally, admited that he got them. The manner in which the case was worked up by degrees, with nothing to start upon but n bare suspicion, re flects great credit upon the police de partment. Chief Feagin never stop ped from the moment he jumped the game until he had it well caged. Wimbush got out of the chaingang on January 31st, and the next day or two thereafter was at his old tricks again and headed for the penitentiary. enng. The A. W. Smith Furniture Co.
