Much could be said of this mu sical body in the matter of praise, but the reputation borne by the Robley company makes this un necessary, Go out and hear them at the U. B. I. this evening.

Dublin, Gn., Jan.3l.—The Jack-J son stores were completely de- j stroved by fire last night. The; flames were bursting through the roof when the alarm was sent in. It was impossible to save anything 1 belonging to the stores. Owing to hard work Keen Brothers to the south and \V. V. \Vestbrook to the north were saved. The heat broke the windows in Kittrell’s store opposite, and fora time the Four Seasons Department | store, carrying a stock of goods j valued at $120,000 to $130,000 was ' in danger. Keen Bros., The Courier-Dis patch, Tavlor-Coleman Pharmacy and the old wooden hotel were in direct line of the fire, but fire walls prevented a further spread. Sparks blew everywhere and it I was feared at one time that many buildings would be destroyed. Wa ter froze on the street as it fell, and firemen had a hard time put ting out the fire. They did most valiant service. the Jackson stores carried a stock of goods valued at $25,000 to $50,000 and probably had a good hue of insurance. Just how much cannot yet be learned. The building belonged to F. G. ‘ Corker, Esq., and C. S Pope, and was fully covered by insurance. The building was not worth more than $4,000 or SO,OOO.

When Governor Smith signed j the warrant Thursday of last ! week for the payment of pensions ; jto confederate soldiers and wid ! ows of Georgia, he drew from the ! jst ate treasury the largest amount [overdrawn from that institution | by a single signature. This warrant called for $989,579; which will pay all pensions duo by l be state for 1909. Comptroller General Wright stated yesterday that this was the j largest treasury warrant which ho j Imd ever countersigned during his long incumbency of the office,and Iso far ns his knowledge went, it ! was t lie record warrant drawn up- I on t Im treasury. There have been public school I warrants for almost half a million I dollars, but the public school J ; fund, though twice as large as the I I pension fund, is paid out in 111- j Htallmonts, and tho largest single 1 payments made are only about half the size of the pension war rant drawn a few days ago. Under the old annual payment plan, when tho counties were paid at various times extending over a period of six weeks, the pension warrants were also drawn in in stallments of several hundred 1 thousand dollars each 'l'liis warrant was presented at the treasury by Pension Commis sioner J. VV. Lindsey, and State Treasurer Park prepared the j checkstho next day. It. was Commissioner Lindsey’s hope to be able to mail out all tile checks Friday night, anyway by j Saturday at lutest,. Every Ordi ! nary m tho state will have the ! pension check for hie county, therefore, by Monday, Feb’y Ist, and will be able to promptly pay tho pensioners. Montgomery county’s pension ers will receive out of this vasi sum of money $7,895.

Smith on the Board of Governors for the pro posed tuberculosis sanitarium has ! given the movement to build on .St. Simon’s, a decided boom. Be cause of its superior climate Jekyl Island was selected years ago as I u winter homo by a score of Eastern capitalists, the chief rea son, it is claimed, being that in j valids rapidly recover when brought to Jekyl. St. Simon’s, having all of the advantages of Jekyl, it is held, is an ideal loca tion for a sanitarium. If an is land site is accepted by the board I a large tract of land will proba- I bly be given to the state by tbe | present owners. The land is val ued at several thousand dollars and already has a building which could be used to advantage for the first year of the operation of the sanitarium.
