To Those Who Doubt.
THAT a majority of our buying public have implicit
faith in our advertisements is daily proved by re
sults. That there are some people in this community who
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
store reaches out for the doubting ones, and desires to prove
to them that in all its advertising, it states facts,—only facts
—plain, pure and simple.

■ THE PRICE OF COTTON
IS GOING ON HIGHER,
; Nine Cents Was Paid in Americus
Yesterday.
STAPLE IS COMING IN FREELY.
Warehousemen and Buyers are Busy
i Now.—Nearly Half Hundred Bales
i Received Yesterday —Think Price
Will go Higher Still.
l
[ The cotton season in Americus may
i be said to be well on now. Wagon
loads of the fleecy came in yesterday,
’ and the six cotton warehouses were
easily the busiest places in the city as
the bales were rolled off, sampled and
i sold to the ready and expectant buyer.
And the price received by the farmer
’ made his heart glad.
Just a year ago good cotton was sel
[ ling in Americus and other interior
- markets at 5 to 5A cents. Yesterday
’ the same grades brought nine cents m
, our warehouses.
( Receiving twice as much as the old
. price, and a great deal more than he
i expected to get for cotton when this
crop was planted, it is not surprising
that the farmers feel good. The only
drawback is the short crop, as there
will not be as much to sell as expected.
The effect of the drought is really
distressing, and the output will be les
sened at least a third fromjthe prospect
of three weeks ago.
The yield here will be no greater
• than last year, if as large.
The dry weather is causing the bolls
to open rapidly and picking is going
forward at a great rate. The market is
active, with good demand for cotton,
and farmers are letting it go at pre
. vailing prices. Of.nearly a half hundred
bales received here yesterday the
greater part of it was sold at prices
ranging from 8j to 9 cents.
There are several new buyers in the
Americus market this season, and, as
heretofore, the “top of the market’’
will be paid for cotton.
ALWAYS CATCH A CROWD HERE.
Many go But Few Come Here on
Excursions.
Many cities hereabout are profiting
by the cheap excursion and Americus,
as she has ever done, is pouring gold
into their coflers. It is not to be de
nied that the oeeap excursion is a good
thing for tbe people as well as for the
railroads, and the only real regret is
that our city never derives any of the
benefits. Within the past week there
have been two excursions to Savannah
and one to Macon, with another to
Montgomery next week. Throughout
tlje summer season our people have
gone by hundreds to other cities on
these cheap excursions, and their
merchants boast of the great trade that
is brought them in this manner. They
never petition the roads for such fa
vors but seem to get them jast the
same. Surely the roads would do as
much for us, if properly approached by
Council or a petition from Americus
merchants. Let’s keep on riding and
visiting the other cities, as we are now
doing, but at the same time suppose
we look to our own material interests
on the line suggested and ask both the
Central and the Seaboard to lend us a
helping hand at an early date.
Story of a Slave.
To b bound hind and foot for years,
by tbe chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George D. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: “My
wife has been so helpless for five years
• that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of Elec
, trie Bitters, she is wonderfully improv
ed and able to do her own work.” This
supreme remedy for female diseases
i quickly cures nervousness, sleepless
■ ness, melancholy, headache, backache,
j fainting and dizzy spells. This mira
cle-working medicine is a godsend to
’ weak, sickly, run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents. Sold
by E. J. Eldridge, druggist.

i AMERICUS NEGRO AN INVENTOR.
Has Patent Which May Eventually
Bring a Fortune.
Tom Westheimer is a very bright and
intelligent colored barber here, but in
dustry instead of loquacity is his strong
point and wherein he differs from
others of his profession. Tom has in
vented and patented a device which
may be attached to any fire grate, and
which insures its lasting qualities in
definitely. It is an adjustable bottom
for the coal basket, and when burned
out can be replaced at small cost with
out tbe loss of the entire basket. He
has applied for letters patent, and all
who have seen his grate pronounce it
excellent.
TO CLENSE THE SYSTEM
Effectually yet gently, when costive or
bilious, to permanently overcome habit
ual constipation, to awaken the kidneys
and liver to a healthy activity, without
irritating or weakening them, to dispel
headaches, colds, or fevers, use Syrup of
Figs, made by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only.
