FOURTH. NATIONAL BANK MACON, QA. WATER WAGON HASAJROLIC Mutes Run Away and Have a E\ Tim# of It All By Themselves— What They 8ay About IL If you ask the poUpeman on your boat tonight Want was tho funniest thing he has seen In a < Jong time, he wilt tell you that ft waa;the runaway of the water wagon the other night. Friday night the street sprinkling wagon, belonging to tho street aweep- lng department, was taking water from a hydrant opposite the city halL The driver had gotten down to ar range tho section of fcosp that feeds tho big tank with water, when the mules took a sudden notion to go down the atreet Being down grade, the notion was no sooner started than the weight of the wagon lent its aid, and In short order the mules and the wagon were going down Poplar street at a new automobile speed. There being no pulling to do, because of tho down grade, the muled saw that they had a picnic all to themselvea. with a clear right-of-way, nothing being on the street at that time of night, and on they went. It may be that the cool night air added to the exuberance of their spir its, and t.;e mules may have said to eac iiother, in their mulish way, "ain't wo having a time of it." Then they made a stop, and singularly enough, that atop wus right In front of where there was once, In the days gone by, you might aay In the far past, a place known as ft bar-room. It was ■> Iced, however, that fliey lingered only long enough for the Imaginary driver to gat down from hla perch and go lit and take an Imaginary drink and come out wiping an Imaginary mouth and yell out "git tup there, you aid dingbats." The Imaginary driver having sumed his perch on the wagon, off started the mules, still on tho down grade, and bless goodness. If they didn't stop again In front of another c-saloon. Joe's a Dutd'iman! Here the team halted. If mules talk, or If they could talk, they would have said this: Did you notice, my dear comrade, that wo have made tho entire trip from the city hall to Fourth street without anybody trying to get on the water wagon! Times have certainly efinngod. Either there Is no one who wants to get on tho wagon any more, or there la no one to get on. Once ihnd an occasional passenger who would stay on for a while at least, but 1 'ro we are with Just as much room a« ever, and not a man attempts to get on. How do you account for this change, my dear comrade?" “"‘.'a this near-beer. They tell that It Is neither beer nor booxc. buf a cross between the two. It seems to be a satlsfler. The water wagon pas- songer went out with prohibition." "Maybe so. Well, let's be mosey ing along. It la our duty to lay the dust, and they will be hunting around town for us." Then the driver found them, gave a Jerk, and the frolic was over. \ Letter to Juliette Milling Co., Mncon. Qa. Dear Sirs: The test of truth Is evi dence. Words In themselvea prove nothing.

Write tor full information THE SWEEPERS FAILED TD SWEEPTHE PARIS AND THE RESULT WAS THEY WERE IN BAD CONDITION FOR 8bNDAY. Those people In the city who are striving to bring about a city beau tiful out of Macon, experienced a chill yesterday morning when their eyea beheld the parka on Poplar atreet. They were two Inches deep In tho leavings of fodder and luty with which the country teams had been fed on for tha week or so past. Fortunately, yesterday was a still day, otherwise this fodder and hay and pieces of pa per and other traah would have been strewn all over the sidewalks, as It was on a previous Sunday. The street sweeping force knocks off work now at 12 o'clock on Satur day nights, and this accounts for the unkempt condition of the streets on 8undsy mornings. Inspector Nottingham says that he ! want# to Inaugurate another system of peeping the streets clean. He j thinks that If he has two squads of I five men each. Working In the day and' night time, he will be able to keep the ance. especially where the two en trances to th# city from the railroad depots, so that strangers may receive an early Immrerslon of the appearance of the city, but he Is not quite certain as to the best way to do this. Outside of the Poplar street parka the other streets of the city were look- , lng spruce and neat yesterday morn ing. Only those peeks were In bad shape. Just what la to be done about them la a problem. •o today. ADDRESS Schofield’s Iron Macon, Georgia. Works +t i.

It-Js reported that another deal is on in connection with the Macon Rail way & Light Co. Those connected with th® company say they ar® not yet in a position to tell Of any transaction pending or that has been consummat' d, but enough has been learned to warrant the statement that some day this week the stock in the Mncon Railway & Light Co. held in Macon will be transferred to the Electric Securities Company. This Is the company that Is financiering the Central Georgia Power Co. The transfer of this stock, which is only that held by Macon parties, does not in any way affect the com pany except to give It additional strength. When the transfer is made, which Is expected to be done in a day or two. there Will probably be a re organisation. meaning a new board of directors, but not necessarily new of ficers. Eventually, so It Is understood, the Central Georgia Power Co. will xbsorb all, the railway, and light and power plants, In which Macon people havo Invested much. This company hss W. J. Massre for Its president and among Its stockholders are a number of Ma con men. Don’t think the plies can't be cured. Thousands of obstinate cases have been cured by Doan's Ointment cents at any drug store. . IMPORTANT NOTICE. Southern RaHway Schedule Changes. Effective 1:00 p. m.

Finally, due consideration must be riven to the peculiarities of. the state of late, what had to be done in the silver campaign, when, in one summer, we had to convince a great many good people that what they had been laboriously taught for several years previous was untrue. Under such circumstances you would be the best posslWo leader, and with your leadership we could rest assured that only good methods would prevail. In such a contest you could do very much if you were on the bench; you could do very much If you were In active political life outside. I think you could do most as president; but you could do fry much as chief Justice, and you luld do less, but still very much, os as sociate Justice. 'Where you can light .best I cannot say. for you know what |your soul turns to better than I can. As 7 see the situation it is this: There are strong arguments against your hik ing this justiceship. In the first place my belief Is that of oil the men that have appeared so far you are tho man who Is most likely to receive tho repub lican nomination, and who is.
