F. Lockwood, of Colum bus, is now finishing plans for the rebuilding of the structure at tho Cor ner of Jackson and Forsythi streets, the property 'of Mr. Charles L. Ans ley. - This Is one oLthe best known bus! ness properties In Amerlcus. For many years it occupied a prominent position In a mercantile way, but for the past year or two It has been unoccupied. It was bought In 1905 by Mr. Ansley, who bad In minds the occupying of It by his own mercantile establishment. Mr. Ansley recently decided to push his plans, complete the reconstruction and renovation of the building, and take possession of it aa soon as pos sible. Architect Lockwood was en gaged, baa completed hla plans, and work will bogln In a few days. AVhen the alterations have been completed the old building will not be recognized. It will bo In fact, a re built building. The entire front will be removed and a tine pressed brick front with great plate glass show win dows substituted The Forsyth/street side will undergo extensive changes that will entirely alter its appear ance, with addltlohal magnificent win dows there for the display of merchan dise. The floor will bo lowered to tbo Iovel of the streets, and the eqttre In terior will be renovated. AVhen com pleted tho store will be one of tbo most attractive n Amerlcus. In preparation for the removal, Mr. Ansley today announces tbe beginning of a great aale that will take In every department of his extensive stock, and will offer to tbe public some remark able bargain!. He announces bis pur pose In a half page advertisement on page 4, and cites a tew of'the host of tempting propositions tluft await the public. The clearing out of stock preparatory to removal will be pu»n- ed as rapidly aa poaa’ble, aa when the workmen begin on the building there will be no effort spared to push the alterations to completlpn. This affords an exceptional oppor tunity as It Is seldom. Indeed, that a fresh spring and summer stock .s offered at the very beglnnlo* of the season under such conditions as these Only the magnitude of the slock leads Mr. Ansley to Inaugurate tbe sale at this time. Trees Here Bending Under Weight. Fruit Finest in Years— No Insects in Evi dence Here. With 1 half a million peach tree, fruited to their capacity with healthy young peaches, the big orchards about Amerlcus give assurance now of the finest crop in years, and the owners of these magn flcent tracts of waving trees are correspondingly elated at the golden prospeot. The young peaches, now the size ol partridge eggs, are firm and of healthy appearance, and show no evi dence of the sting of the much-dread ed curcullo. • This is the bug that produces the worm which attacks tho peach, ren dering its worthless. In tbe halt dozen big orchards near Amerlcus very little evidence of the curcullo Is to be seen, and orchard owners are vigorously spraying trees In order to ward off this plague. They do not anticipate any danger from the Insects this season. And if half tbe peaches now on the trees remain, a bumper crop and brok en boughs are assured for tbe weight will be too great. Amerlcus orchards will begin ship ping the first peaches of the early va rieties late In May, and as other va rieties ripen the packing house force will be kept busy until the Elberta crop Is shipped, between July 5th and 20th. The Elberta season Is a short and busy one. Out at the Bagley-Gober Orchard Co.'s plant, where 250,000 trees will yield a fine crop this year, all prep arations are being made for handling tbe crop expeditiously. The same is true of the Raymond, Ware, Hansford and AA’addell orchards, among tbe fin est In this section. Several hundred car loads of peach es will be shipped from Americus an® the crop will be a profitable one this year. FIRE DESTROYS TWO DALTON WAREHOUSES Georgia Town Has a Conflagration.
