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.

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.

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.
