And the peaches were packed by one
of the prettiest of the young women of
Jones county. One can well believe
that; and find, too. in th** golden and
crimson perfection of these luscious
and perfect samples of Georgia's pre

rare charm of the fair packer.

With the auditorium bonds all dis
posed of and the bonds signed up by
the mayor and city treasurer, bids were
advertised for on yesterday for the
erection of the building, the bids to be
opened on August 2.
This la an appreciable stride forward
In the consummation of a long desired
and much needed municipal Improve
ment, and Is tangible evidence of the
determination of those actively In
charge to preen ahead in a vigorous
manner with the undertaking. The
plans for the building have been com
pleted for some time and applications
from contractors for coplea of these are
being received by the architects. When
the drawings have been thoroughly
Inspected the various contractors will
at once submit bids for the new
structure.
That the auditorium will prove a
YititKiM* asset to Macon is conceded
by those who have the Interest of the
at heart and who have followed
project from Its Inception to the
ent time, when the enterprise may
laid to bo auspiciously launched,
to gatherings will be attracted to
the cltv. and conventions and other as
semblies of people who have hitherto
tnet elsewhere will be glad to avail
themselves of the new Auditorium
here, ton
It will l
the city at large.
Of equal importance with the audi
torium Itself 1s the question of a site,
and In this the city In indeed fortunate,
the location decided on for the build
ing being uti ideal one. It la proposed
to utilize the vacant spare on the south
aide of the city hall for the erection
of the nudltorlum or new uddltlon to
the present building. The auditorium
proper will have a frontage on Poplar
street of elghty-etght feet. The pres
ent city hull is fifty feet in breadth,
and with the auditorium the total
frontage will be 13H feet. The latter
building will exteud along First street,
a corridor running between It and the
city hall, the two, however, presenting
a connected and uniform front. The
stei»a now In front of the city hall will
be removed to the center of tho united
building.
The architects in their plana have
trlctly adhered to any distinct
I. but have hupplly blended the
to be followed, perhaps leaving
to the Grecian than to any other

e building Is to be stuccoed, the
of reconstruction sixteen famous Re
publican conventions were held In the
old hall.
Some eight or nine years ago the
building underwent some changes and
was renovated to some extent, but with
these exceptions there have been no
changes since the structure was orig
inally built.
When the present city hall was re
stuccoed several years ago the work
was done by a former slave, who did
the same class of work on an elegant
residence of his master on Walnut
street before the war.
Buchanan escaped without being de
tained by any one. He carried his gun
1th him and disappeared before an
officer could reach the scene. Deputies
Smith and Riley of Sheriff Wescott’a
force were put on track of the negro,
but at a late hour lu»t night they had
not succeeded in capturing him.
Buchanan had been employed in
Manchester cotton mills up to the open
lng of tho fruit season when he went to
Fort Vji1I*\y and w.i < engaged In pack
ing peaches. Ho hud returned to Ma
con yesterday morning and was In the
road with his gun when the victim of
his anger balled him.
Rosa was a negro of fair and settled
reputation. He had known the assail
ant all his life and no one had heard of
any difference between the two. From
the reports gathered after the nhootlng
Ross had least expfected the terrible
ply Buchanan had In store for him.
Ross was carried to his home and a
physician summoned. It was stated
that he would not live through the
night, but at last reports he wns still
holding out In the battle for life against
the wound.
"I would cough nearly all night
long,” writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate, of
Alexandria, Ind., "and could hardly get
any sleep. I had consumption so bad
that If I walked a block 1 would cough
frightfully and iplt blood, but. when
all other medicine* failed, three $1
bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery

chitis and all throat and lung troubles.
