'T'HAT a majority of our buying public have implicit

do not believe in the truth of any printed statement “goes
without saying. They are not to blame for this, perhaps,
however, “a burn child dreads fire,” you know. So an oft
humbugged buyer is shy of being humbugged again. This

EXPENSES COULD BE REDUCED
If the City Owned and Operated a
Light Plant.
Quite recently the question of cheap
er lighting for the city hall has been
under discussion, with the result that
it was ascertained that the city could
saye money by owning and operating
a small dynamo in connection with the
machinery at the pumping station,
where power, without extra cost, could
be obtained. The total cost of an in
dependent equipment, ready for use
and capable of lighting with 85 lights
the pumping station, the city hall, fire
department and clock tower, would
have been S4OO. The cost of operating
same would be only nominal, as this
could be done by the engineer at the
reservoir. As it is, the Council pays
about 8500 per annum for lighting the
hall, fire department and clock. The
proposed investment will not be made,
however.
The Appetite ot a Goat
Is envied by all poor dyspeptics whose
stomach and liver are out of order. All
such should know that Dr. King’s New
Life Pills, the wonderful stomach and
liver remedy, gives a splendid appetite,
sound digestion and a regular bodily |
habit that insures perfect heatlh and
great energy. Only 25c at E J El
dridge’s drug store.
TOOK A RECESS UNTIL MONDAY.
Proceedings in County Court Finished
For a Time.
When the county court adjourned
yesterday afternoon it was until Mon
day morning next, when civil business
will be entered upon. County Judge
Crisp has been trying misdemeanor
cases for three days past and has dis
posed of quite a batch of them. After
hearing civil business Monday and
Tuesday next he will again start upon
misdemeanor cases and continue same
until that docket is finished.

PEARS FETCH A FANCY FIGURE.
Americus Shippers are Getting Good
Returns.
The much derided and despised Le
Conte pear is outstripping tne Elber
ta peach just now as a shipper and
most excellent seller. Returns for
shipments made by Americus growers
indicate a pear famine in the East, and
fancy prices are the result. Mr. E. D.
Ansley, one of the largest shippers in
Americus, has sent forward several
carloads within the past week, finding
an excellent market at interior points
in Pennsylvania and New York state.
From one orchard out near Rees Park
he has shipped nearly 2,500 bushels,
and has not yet finished harvesting the
crop there. The prices paid are most
satisfactory, sometimes being as high
as three dollars per barrel, less freight
and expenses. Pear blight has injured
the trees here to a considerable extent,
but even with such a backset the yield
of fruit is very large and will net the
growers more money than did the
peach crop in this section of the state.
More attention will be given the partly
neglected pear orchards another sea
son.

A Life and Death Fight.
Mr. W. A, Hines of Manchester, la.,
writing of his almost miraculous escape
from death, says: “Exposure after
measles induced serious lung trouble,
which ended in Consumption. I had
frequent hemorrhages and coughed nignt
and day. AU my doctors said I must
soon die. Then I began to use Dr K'ng’s
New Discovery for Consumption, which
completely cured me. I would not be
without it even if it cost $5.00 a bottle.
Hundreds have used it on my recom
mendation and all say it never fails to
cure throat, chest and lung Troubles.”

WOULD DRAW A GREAT CROWD.
Suggested That Americus Invite the
People Here-
Inasmuch as our successful carnival
of last September will not be repeated
this year someone has suggested, as
the next best thing to attract a few
thousand visitors, a monster barbecue
for the people of Sumter and surround
ing counties. | Ist. is Labor
Day and a general holiday, and this
has been suggested as a suitable date
for the big ’cue in the event our mer
chants consider the proposition favor
ably. A programme of entertainment
could easily be arranged, cheap rates
on railroads secured, and this, with a
monster feast for the multitude would
bring a great crowd here on Labor
Day. What say the merchants and
business men regarding the ’cue?
If you nave no appetite for your
meals something is wrong with your
digestion, liver or bowels. Prickly
Ash Bitters cleanses and strengthens
the stomach, purifies the bowels and
creates appetite, vigor and cheerful
ness. Dr. E. J. Eldridge.

NEGROES HELD FOR BURGLARY.
Suspects Who May Be Wanted in
Putnam County.
Two negroes were arrested here yes
terday by Sheriff McArthur upon the
strength of information sent him by
the sheriff of Putnam county, where
Ike Stephens and Charles Peavy are
wanted for burglary. After their ar
rest the negroes admitted that they be
longed in Putnam county but denied
being the individuals wanted. The
sheriff of Putnam may come here today
to see if the men are the right ones.
Coming Back to Americus.
Mr. Merrel Callaway, jr., who holds
a position with the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway, will return to Americus next
week to accept a clerical position at the
Seaboard shops. His Americus friends
will be glad to have him back again.
Takes a Larger House.

LOOKING FOR SEVERAL BALES.
More New Cotton is Expected Here
This Morning.
Americus warehousemen expect to
see a number of new cotton bales
brought in this morning, Americns
has already received the second bale of
the new crop marketed in Georgia this
season, and others from Sumter coun
ty farms will be placed along with it
today. The dry and extremely hot
weather since Tuesday last is causing
cotton on light and sandy lands to open
and farmers will gather this while
prices are still on a high range. One
warehouseman here expects to receive
three or four bales today, while some
of the others may be equally as fortu
nate. There is no spot market as yet,
though a good price will be paid by
local buyers for any cotton that may
be brought in now.

TO BEGIN WORK IN SHORT TIME.
Curbing of Residence Street Not Long
Delayed.
If residents of College and Lee
streets will but possess their souls in
patience a little while longer they may
witness the beginning of the work of
curbing those thoroughfares, already
so long delayed. Supt Ansley said
yesterday that a start would be made
in a short while, now that the granite
blocks are at hand. He will begin on
College street, and expects to complete
the grading and curbing there within
twenty days. The forces will then be
distributed along Lee street from the
artesian well to Furlow, a distance of
nearly a mile, and the much needed im
provements made there as well.
