liDS GIVEN A NIPPING
BUT INJURY IS LIGHT
frost and Ice Appear in
Americas.
Frost plentiful, with Ice in evidence
as well, was tine spectacle that greet
ed the orchard owner here yesterday,
and caused grave fears for the safety
of the peach) crop. However, the
cold was not extremely severe, and
It is hoped that no very material dam
age was done.
This, however, cannot be determined
definitely for several days yet; per
haps for several weeks.
Tbe fact that the open blooms bad
been very thoroughly dried of mois
ture by the high winds prevailing dur
ing the past two or three days ma:|
nave the fruit crop.
Orchard owners who examined the
tender buds during ttle day stated
that they found but few killed, or dis
colored by the cold. Still the young
Teaches may drop from the trees even
after they have attained the size if
bird's eggs, as has been the case here
In seasons past
Only the Elberta trees are In full
flower, the Helleya and Georgia
Belles not yet having bloomed fully,
though in bud- These varieties are
doubtless safe, while the Elbertas may
be uninjured as well.

WOULD HIVE BUILDING SITE
TO SECURE A FACTORY
Americas Man is Willing to Do His
Part
While Americus does not want _
cotton mill, as oftlmes demonstrated
In the flat refusal of citizens of large
means to take stock in such an enter
prise, it Is none the less refreshing
to meet a man occasionally who Is
ready to do even more than his part.
There are several of these hero-
men of moderate means who are will
ing to push the town forward In such
an enterprise, even when It would help
the rich fellows who will not do so
much, themselves.
But there are not a sufficient num
her of this “poor but willing" class
to secure a factory.
One enterprising citizen stated yes
terday that he would not only donate
a building site of twenty-live acres
within the city limits or Americus an-;
splendidly adapted as a factory site,
but would go down in his pocket for
a $5,000 cash subscription as well.
Yet there are men here worth ten
times—yea, twenty times as much as
this public-spirited citizen, and who
would not give a dollar towards build
ing a factory.
They would like to see one built;
they say “Americus needs more man
ufacturing enterprises.” Certainly
these would boost their realty
values amazingly, and they only ho;.e
that the little fellows will get-
aether and build a mill, or something
else.
Would that Americus had more citi
zens like the one above quoted and
—fewer of the brand of splderr w!i*o
weave webs only.
The recent rains in the country have
had fine effect, especially upon the
Hundreds of pretty farms about Amer
icus and throughout the county. It Is
generally regarded that the present
season Is the best the farmers of this
section have had for planting tlselr
crops, and it Is said that hundreds
of acres of corn have been planted in
this county during the last week. The
-farmers say that the corn crop this
year Is going to be much larger than
last year, due in a measure to the en
couragement that is being given to
corn raising through the corn contest
arranged by the Amercus merchants
and those in tho county schools. Or
dinarily the prices that cotton brought
last year would cause farmers to In
crease their acreage in cotton this
year, but meat and grain here were
so high that a majority of the farmers
will pay more attention to those things
and not so much to their cotton.
SISTER Of R t AlLISO.N
DIES IN NAGOOCHEt
Large Family is Bereft By
Death.
HEAVY FINE ON ELLEN N
IMPOSED BY COURT.
Mulcted For $10,000 on
Guilty Plea.
Mr. R. E. Allison returned to Amer
icus yesterday morning from Nacoo-
chee Valley in the North' Georgia
mountains, where he was called on
Monday last by the sudden death df
his sister, Mrs. Jeff B. Allison, who’
passed away on Sunday evening after
an illness of a few hours only.
The funeral occurred there Tues
day, and was largely attended by sor
rowing relatives and friends.
Mrs. Allison was in the prime and
vigor of womanhood, being In her
39th year, and her death casts a
gloom over the valley where she so
long resided..
She was a daughter of L. R. and
Martha Allison, and was first married
to James Bramblett. Her surviving
husband Is J. B. Alliison with ten
children, five boys and fl evglrls, one
a babe of six months.
Mrs. Allison was a woman of strong
personality; a true Christian and de
voted wife and mother. No woman
was more beloved among her host rl
friends. Among her brothers Is Mr. R
E. Allison, of Americus, who has the
sympathy of all here In his recent be
reavement.
The store of the Allison Company
here remained closed Monday as a
mark of respect to the deceased.

that the two staid old steeds that pull
tbe hotel omnibus from the depots to
ths hostelry had enough.ambition to
run of their own free will, but the
sprint made a night or two ago puts
them In the Marathon equine class.
Six fat drummers boarded the bus
at the Central depot, the last one
Camming the door behind him. This
slam Is the starting signal, and the
horses woke up. oblivious of the fact
that the driver was still in the depot
exchanging the compliments of the
season with a friend. Up the long hill
they dashed, the occupants of the old
ark grabbing at the hand straps.
Suddenly one of them discovered the
fact that there was no pilot at the
lines, and out of the bus he came
head first, preferring possible death
that way to death) In a runaway.
Five of the six passengers thus tum
bled out, and the sixth was chill .’d
with fear when the bus drew up Ir
front of the hotel In perfect order.
