THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES RECORDER. THURSDAY, MARCH 10.1010 ' BIG BUILDING TO TAKE PLAGE Of OLD STORE. Improvement at Church and Lee Streets. The old Mims store at the corner oi Cliurchi and Lee streets, and one n( the landmarks ot Americus, Is to be swept away In the general inarch ot progress and a new and modern brick building will soon occupy that very prominent and desirable corner. Such Is the statement given out, and It carries with It pleasure to ev ery one In Americus. The property, owned by Mr. W. T. Minis, has been sold to parties here, It is said, and plana for the building that will supplant It are being pre pared. The purchaser ot the Mims corner has not fully disclosed his plans ns yet, although It la understood thiat two large stores will occupy the ground space, while this floor above will be arranged as apartments, for which there Is a growing demand here. It is said that contractors will be gin work upon the new building with in sixty .lays and complete It during the summer. The new structure will hare a frontage both on Lee and on Church streets. Mr. Mims will con tinue to occupy his store there for tho present. The price paid for this property reflects Increasing values on well lo cated’realty here. SUM CHANCE II SUMS fOR CROP OF FRUIT. Fearful That Late freeze Will Kill II. Americus peach growers "view with alarm" the prospect for a fruit crop since tk» recent warm weather set In, starting the trees to bloom pre maturely. The outlook within the past ten days has changed materially and growers are alarmed in conse quence. Tens of thousands of trees In the Americus territory are In full bloom, and within a week every orchard will resemble a blooming garden. Up to a week ago the trees had not advanced far, but the few late hot days has caused the buds to swell rapidly. Ochard men about Americus Qo not anticipate continued warm weather. If this were true It would be all right, but they well know, or believe, that a late March blizzard will play havoc with the crop between tMs date and the March full moon. The peach industry In this section of the state Is a big Item and Its death or Its life means much to the growers, ranking next to the cotton crop In volume and value. THINK OF Mexican Mustang' Liniment AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU. Relief from pain that might otherwise cause you hours of agony. Tired out muscles eased up and made ready for another day’s work. Lameness in the back and shoulders promptly cured and stiff joints limbered up. Bums, Scalds, Cuts and Mashes ren dered painless and quickly healed. Rheumatism, Lumbago and Sciatica robbed of their anguish and banished forever. Ulcers, Old Sores and Open Wounds healed promptly and permanently. The first application of Mexican Mus tang Liniment subdues the pain but it continues its work until every quivering nerve is soothed and quieted. The great penetrating power of this famous remedy enables it to do this quickly and positively. In all cases of Sprains, Bruises or Lame ness. Mexican Mustang Liniment should be rubbed in persistently. The antiseptic qualities of this old relia ble household remedy make it safe and sure. Price » 25c, 50c, $1.00 per bottle, LYON MFC.

While the exterior of the now poat- office building presents an appearance of completeness, It will be many weeks yet ere It will bo ready for Uncle Sam to walk In and hang up his hat. A groat amount of work still remains to lie done, and during the past week somo delay In tho arrival of fixtures and material has necessitated a fur ther postponement of the opening date, Tho marble floor In the lobby Is yat to ho laid, while tho 3S0 mall boxes and drawers have not yet arrived from the factory, to say nothing of the work of putting them In. The Interior work, like that upon the outside, la being done with great care as to detail, and while tho progreis Is slow the bulld og will prove all the handsomer and ore satisfactory when entirely fln- ishetl and turned over to the postof- "» department. Worse than an alarm of Ore at night is the metallc cough of croup bringing dread to the household. Careful moihers keep Foley’s Honey and Tar In the house and glvo It at the first sign of danger. Foley’s Honey and Tar has saved many little lives and Is the only safe preparation for children as It contains no opiates. Sold by all Druggists.
