WELCOME TO OUR VISITORS.
It is the pleasure of the Times-Re
corder to wish the thousands who visit
our city to-day a royal welcome and
many happy returns of this merry
Christmas occasion. There is no good
reason why our people should not be
specially joyous on this dawn of a new
century.
Americus has enjoyed an unusually
large measure of prosperity during
the year which is now fast drawing to
a close. God has been bountiful in his
blessings to us. The crops have been
large and the farmers have received
good prices for the products of their
honest toil, while labor has found
steady employment at remunerative
wages. Again the new century, soon
to begin, seems full of promise and
prosperity for us all; therefore, our
people should celebrate its propitious
opening with appropriate ceremonies.
To our distinguished Govern
or, Allen D. Candler, and his mili
tary escort, Commissioner O. B.
Stevens, Attorney General J. M. Ter
rell, Secretary of State Phil Cook, and
our able and popular congressman,
Hon. E. B. Lewis, the Times-Recorder
extends a special and royal welcome.
The city is theirs to-day and every
citizen of Americus from the humblest
to the highest in social and public
life will join in wishing long life
and prosperity to our honorable public
servants.
The Duke of Manchester continues
to furnish the New York newspapers
with daily stories. Among the latest
items of interest concerning him is the
report that his father-in-law, Eugene
Zimmerman of Ohio, railway president
and Standard Oil magnate, has just
paid $130,000 of his debts and given
him a round sum of cash with which to
begin life as a married man. Another
item also is that the Duke stands near
ly six feet high, weighs 203 pounds,
and can eat three pounds of steak at a
sitting. Many persons have an idea
that most modern dukes are hollow
cheeked and spindle shanked. This
voung fellow seems to be the opposite.
ONE KILLED; ONE WOUNDED
Eight at a Church Results In Mc-
Elroy’s Death.
Nashville, Dec. 27.—Edward McEl
roy was shot and instantly killed and
Constable Whitford was shot in the
neck by Sylvain McLannahnu, at Trin
ity church, 4 miles west of Dover.
While an entertainment was being
given at the church McLannahan and
Roy Woodford became involved in a
quarrel at the door.
They left the church and engaged in
a scuffle. McElroy came up and ad
vised them to stop, saying they were on
the church grounds. One of the men
cursed McElroy, who returned to the
church, and, seeking Constable Whit
ford, accompanied the officer to the
scene. McElroy said that one of them
had used bad’ language to him and
would have to retract. /
McLannahan thereupon drew his pis
tol and shot McElroy dead. Constable
Whitford made an attempt to arrest Mc-
Lannahan, when the latter turned upon
him and fired three shots. One bullet
lodged in the back of the constable’s
. neck.
Tortured and Robbed.
Marietta, 0., Dec. 27. Abraham
Johnston and wife, both over 80 years
old, were bound, tortured and robbed
about midnight at their home, a shorty
distance below Marietta, on the West
Virginia side. Their assailant, a gigan
tic negro, gained entrance to the house
stealthily. After securing all valuables
he left his victims still bound. Mrs.
Johnston is almost totally paralyzed
from the shock and her husband is badly
injured.
Attempted Assassination.
Interlachen, Fla., Dec. 27. —An at
tempt was made to assassinate Town
Marshal Baker. While standing in a
store he was fired on twice by some ont
in the rear, inflicting wounds which
Hay prove fatal.
BAB BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.
The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per
manently the ugly blotches and the
disfiguring pimples.
