and Brick.
January 1, next, Is the date
by the Government for tho comple
tion of the new Federal building In
Amerlcus.
Though this Is regarded by experts
ns allowing a wide margin of time,
It does not mean that the completion
of the handsome home of 1,'ncle Sam
will be delayed until that date. fh-
deed, it Is expected that representa
tives of the successful bidders will
arrive In Amerlcus soon to get every
thing here in shape. In the mean

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 22.—Nearly 25
per cent of the then living Confeder
ate veterans died during Hie last
year, according to reliable records and
persons In close touch with the vet
erans, declare that their death rate
Is now fixed at about that figure.
On the basis of this estimate Is the
report of the superintendent of the
Soldiers' Home here, which was made
to the board of trustees yesterday, at
the annual meeting of that body.
During the year there were
deaths at the home, while the mini
her of inmates averaged only a few
more than a hundred.
According to Capt. "Tip" Harrison,
who is probably the best informed
man in Georgia on matters relating
to the veterans, the death rate In or
ganized camps of survivors, and ah
shown by the pension rolls and other
records, was about the same.

HAPPY BOB BOUGHTBY
SLOAN Of MACON
Happy Bob, the trotter owned by
Mr. G. C. Hall and the swiftest that
ever went over the course here, was
sold yesterday by his owner to Capt.
Sloan, of Macon, the consideration
stated being $2,500. Happy Bob, a
Kentuckian of the blood royal, has
been In Americus for a year or two
and has since developed wonderful
qualities as a trotter, winning purses
on the track of the Amerlcus Driving
Club, and upon other courses as well.
Having thus disposed of his fleet
stepper, Mr. Hall proposes devoting
hie entire time to his business

Joyful relief in five minutes.
It Is such a remarkable cure, and
so positive in its action, that Dodson's
Pharmacy goes so far as to guarantee
It to cure catarrh or money back.
A complete outfit, which consists of
a hard rubber I locket inhaler, a bot

for filling the Inhaler, only costs one

Hyomei is a healing, antiseptic bal

of Australia, where diseases of the
respiratory tract are unknown.
All the sufferer has to do is to
inhale the antiseptic air of Hyomei
over the inflamed parts where the
germs are entrenched, three or four
times a day.
It cures coughs, colds, asthma, hay
