make a trip to Americas to see the
grand line of Fine Silk and Woolen
Goods, Carpets and Gents Furnishings
shown by Wheatley A Ansley, the lar¬
gest Dry Goods and Carpet House in
the Southern part of Georgia. In fact,
you can find few as large bouses any¬
where in the. country, and the great
beauty about their stock of goods is
they are all desirable goods, and not
cheap, shoddy stuffs, everything al¬
ways reliable and just as represented.
They carry the largest line of Carpets,
Curtains, Window Shades, and House
Furnishings of a similar character to
be found anywhere south of Atlanta.
Their line of Gentlemen’s Furnishing
goods embraces everything in the way
of Shirts and Underwear, Collars and
Cuffs, Hosiery, Suspenders, Neckwear,
Handkerchiefs, Gloves, etc. The prices
they are making this season are lower
than ever, and it will richly repay any¬
one in want of good goods at low
prices te go to Americus and look
through this house,
ed m a week or two. We wish their
enterprise . much . success and , will ... take „ .
pleasure in giving them all possible
aid and encouragement. Every town
should have its home newspaper, and
try to support it.

In Lumpkin, Ga., October 23, 1893,
Mrs. Elizabeth A. Williford, wife of
John Williford, deceased. She was
born April 25, 1817, in Elbert county,
Ga. Her maiden name was Burk, and
she married January 17, 1837. She
leaves two sons and two daughters in
Texas, and two sons and two daugh¬
ters in this State. She had been a wid¬

At the barter-house of some dusky
soiled doves on Wednesday night, two
men (not Africans) got into a fracas
in which one of them was badly beat¬
en with a stick and perhaps seriously
hurt. One of them (oh shama!) was a
married man. We forbear to mention
names; the shame of the affair should
be disgraceful enough without public
exposure. These brothel-supporters
should be tabooed in decent society
with their ^corrupting and debasing
influence. Young man, you should
not only not be found at, but should
not go to any place where it would
cause shame and grief to your family
for you to be found dead there.

An entertainment was given at the
residence of Mrs. M. E. Bush on last
Friday night for the purpose of rais¬
ing a fund to forward to Brunswick
for the relief and aid of the yellow fe¬
ver sufferers. The entertainment was
supplied with refreshments that were
heartily enjoyed, and everything pass¬
ed off pleasantly. We learn that about
$50 was raised for the purpose stated.
The ladies are always the benefactors
of the unfortunate, the sick and the
distressed. The survivors of the dire¬
ful yellow fever scourge will remem¬
ber with unspeakable gratitude the no¬
ble efforts of the ladies of our south¬
ern clime in their behalf.

It has been several years since the
Court lias held as long a session as
this, but it was expedient that the bus¬
iness of the.court should be pushed for¬
ward as far as possible. Some old con¬
tinued cases have been transferred to
Chancellors Court. The population of
the county decreased a ^moiety dur¬
ing the session of the court, as several
bizarre citizens of color had the vivid
picture of the Four Kings gleaming in
their eyes, but now that the crisis is
over the county will probably regain
its normal number of citizens. The
court adjourned on yesterday evening.

al C. B. Hudson having the closing ar
gument, began his address at 8 o’clock
Thursday morning, closing* about 11
a.bn.
The Judge’s charge to the jury was
able,lucid and thorough,covering every
point of law touching the case. The
jury, being a body of intelligent and
conservative men, could not fail to get
a clear and thorough knowledge of
their duty -from the Judge’s exhaustive
charge. At 4 o’clock p. m., their ver¬
dict was made up, and as they filed in¬
to the court room,.tbe.patient waiting and anx¬
ious people around crowded
into the room to learii the fate of the
prisoner. .-.
When the-verdict was read by the
Solicitor General no demonstration
was made by anyone, but the smiles
that played over the faces of hundreds
of spectators betrayed the joy that was
in their hearts.
On reaching: the street once more a
free man, Dr. Peek was the recipient
of many congratulations from the
many friends who hastened to grasp
his hand.
Judge It. F. Watts made the crown¬
ing speech of lfis life, and many high
and weil-deserved encomiums were
showered upon him. The Solicitor;
General' also made one of his charac¬
teristically strong and eloquent speech
68/
Col. Thornton and E. J. Wynn Esqrs.
also received their deserved share of
praise. It was able counsel on both
sides; and a hard fought battle, inter¬
spersed with ingenious tactics was the
natural result.
The high encomiums passed upon Dr.
Peek by his counsel were fully endors¬
ed by friends and neighbors who have
known him intimately for many years.
The verdict pleased the masses of the
people as well as the defendant, and
Dr. Peek once more went to his family
a free and happy man.

Mr. Joseph Barlow, of Orange coun¬

Mr. W. D. Davidson of the 21st con¬

the near future, that is, if a certain
young lady don’t block him.
Our N. P. has resigned, and Judge
J. G. McRee is going to move to Oma¬

tice, and Omaha gains a good citizen.
Our high Sheriff is also going to re¬

'—The colored parsonage is now va
cant; it knows parson Ware no more,
He was an A grade preacher, a mail of
fashion; his latest fad was a pair of
goggles; but alas! on Wednesday last
there came two messengers from Bue¬
na Vista in quest of the goggle-eyed
parson. They captured Ware and or¬
namented his wrists with a beautiful
pair of bracelets, but Ware did not
seem to take that pleasure in bracelets
rtiat he did in goggles, and persuaded
his eapters to remove them long
enough for him to eat his supper, and
immediately after taking his evening
repast he bade them an inaudible
“good-night” and traveled witli the
wind.
If people don’t believe there will be
hogs killed in the 21st this winter, just
call on Dr. Z. S. Uuflin at Cofflnton .
Mr. A. L. Mathias will open up the

Deafness Cannot be Cnred
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf¬
ness, and that is by constitutional rem¬
edies. Deafness is caused by an in¬
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re¬
sult, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever ; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars;
free.
