ROBLEY MALE’QUARTET ;
THIS EVENING. |
Possibly the best in the way of
a musical entertainment to be held
here this season will be the ap
pearance of the Robley Male
Quartet at the auditorium of the
Union Baptist Institute tins eve
ning.
This splendid company comes
as one of the most select numbers |
in the Alkahest System, and they
should receive a full house. Each
member of the company is a mas
ter and an artist, and their fame !
as musicians equals that of any
similar body in the country.
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.

LEG OF MAN FOUND
IN WHALE’S STOMACH,
A special from Messina, dated
January 28, gives the following!
account of the discovery of a
man’s lower limb in the stomach
of a very large whale recently
captured on Catania coast. It says :
“An enormous whale has been
captured on the coast of Catania,
and in its stomach was found the
leg of a man with a shoe on the
foot. The shoe indicated that it
had been worn by an Italian sailor,
who probably was a victim of the

THE JACKSON STORES
AT DUBLIN BURNED.
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.
ENTERTAINED IN HONOR

Qute a party of young peoplt

delight. Miss Maggie Brewton,

I LARGEST WARRANT EVi.FI
,| SIGNED BY GOVERNOR.
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.

BRUNSWICK WANTS SANI
TARIUM ON ST. SIMON'S.
Brunswick, Ga., Jan. 80.—Ttia
appointment of Health Officer Dr.
J. A. Butts By Gov. 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.
