Immediately.

Having accepted position with the

the resignation of Mr.. Lott Warren, [
am compelled to close out the entire
stock of goods of the E, d. Shelf cid
Co. at once SO that [ may enter into
my bank position by Jan. 1st In
order to accomplish this I realize that
we must sacrifice the goods to get rid
of them in so short time. Thus we
will do. We all know that merchant
who is in business to stay must charge
a reasonable profit on his goods or ul-
timately fail. Ipropose to sell out our
entire stock at less than New York
cost, and much less than any merchant
can afford. 1t will pay you to buy
now at least years supply. You will
not have such an opportunity again
soon. Come and see us right away be-
fore the stock is badly broken. AT
present our stock of shoes and cloth
ing is complete, and quality second to
none in this city. While our dry
goods stock is small there are yet
many fine pieces of goods to be dis,
posed of. We will sell the entire stock
in a lump or in lots, at retail, or, in
fact, any way to suit the buyer. Re-
member, this is your chance now to
get what you want for this stock must
be sold right away. Very respectful

MINISTERS LEAVE
FOR CONFERENCE.
Last Sunday For Many in Their Pres
ent Charges.
SERVICES AT CHURCHES TODAY
No Probability of Change in Minis
tiers Here as All Are Serving Their
First Year in Americas Services
at Churches Today.

This is the last Sunday before the
annual meeting of the South Georgia
Conference, which assemblies this week
at Cuthbert and closes the conference
year next Sunday.
The meeting will be largely attend
ed, the people of Cuthbert having pre-
pared for the entertainment of 400 or
500 delegates.
The ministers here, Messrs. Mat
thews, Jenkins and Presiding Elder
Read, will attend. There is no proba-
bility that any change here will be
made by the Conference, as these min
listers are just closing their first years
work in Americus.
And all will doubtless make good re-
ports to the Conference.
Mr.. Matthews will occupy his pulpit
today at First Methodist church, as
will Rev. @. r. Jenkins at st. Pauls,
East Americus. There will be foil
attendance at both.
Rey. r. L. Bivins will occupy the
pulpit at Furlow Lawn Baptist and
Rev. L. G. Henderson that of the Pres
byterian church.
"Are Baptists guilty of what people
term close communion, and if not, why
not?' will be the topic of Rev. S. O.
Dean at First Baptist church this
morning. This subject was announced
for last Sunday, but the inclement
weather interfered with the services.
At 7:45 o'clock tonight, at this
church, a special Thanksgiving service
has been arranged in part as follows;
Voluntary, by choir, invocation by
the pastor, song by congregation,
scriptural reading thanksgiving" by
the pastor, music, etc.
"What should we be thankful for as
a people?" will be the subject discuss
ed by Mr.. J. A. Ansley, Jr.
"What have we to be thankful for as
individuals?" will be the subject of a
short address by Mr.. George P. Sieg.
"What should we be thankful for as
a church," will be discussed by Mr..
Henry Wetteroth and Judge j. A,
Ansley.
There will be special musical pro-
gram prepared, and the general public
is cordially invited to attend and en-
Joy this very interesting Thanksgiving
| service.
Rev. Father Merriwether will con-
duct the usual service at the Catholic
church today.

Soon Come to Close.

The second week of Sumter superior
court, beginning tomorrow, will see
the Jail cleared of prisoners and prob
ably the greater portion of the crimi-

The criminal docket will be the light
est in several years, there being very
few felony cases and none that will re-
quire any great length of time in trial
The grand jury has returned ten or a
dozen indictments, a majority of them
for misdemeanor offenses which will
be tried in the county court. There is
not murder case to be tried and only
one for assault with intent to kill.
Judge Littlejohn is anxious to end the
session before the Christmas holidays
and it now seems that he will be
able to do this without difficulty, thus
obviating the necessity of an adjourned
term in January.
