BURNING OF JoHNsoN's STORE.
An Early Morning Blaze Down at
Huntington.

The storehouse of Mr.. James John
son at Huntington, eight miles east of
Americus, was destroyed by fire early
yesterday morning together with the
greater portion of the contents con-
sisting of meat, corn and general pro-
duce. By hard work some of the ar

considerable. A herd of goats hud-
died beneath the building were roast

able to escape. The fire is supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary.

THE CROWDS CAME YESTERDAY

Again

Yesterday reminded one of busy
day in October. The largest crowd OF
the new year filled the streets, people
coming from a half dozen nearby coun-

more business than in quite while.
The appearance of several wagon loads
of cotton upon the streets served to
brighten the picture, despite the fact
that it does not bring, by $40 per bale,
as much as it did in October. But the
farmers and people generally were here
to buy goods and the merchants had
little to complain of for an early spring

Ants That Fight Spiders.

Few more wonderful adaptations are
seen in the whole round of nature
than the webs spiders spin to entrap
the wary ant. They are not high hung,
lacy affairs. caressing every breeze, but
low set, silllen tubes stretched in the
grass, the crevices of rock or about
tree roots. Ants of every size creep
heedlessly into them. The - lers eat
them with relish, but occasionally q
very little spider and very big ant
engage in a duel to the DEATH If the
spider can bite, the ant can sting, and
does it with n right good will. The
spider does not try to get rid of such an
ant as he does of a wasp or bee too
strong to be safely attacked. Such an
insect, which threatens destruction to
the web, is often cut out of it by the
web builders. The entangling cables
are not loosed, but the web rays neatly
shipped in two, first those underneath
and at the very last the highest fila
ment Often the letting go of such a
captive means destruction to half the
nest. But some spiders are wiser than
some people. They know not merely
when they have enough, but when they
have too much.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man of
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
1915 pound, and another costs $3.50 a
gallon, while large share of the so call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition OF
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents bottle, and when
a dealer tries to sell a substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. Anu 6ulS 10 uouciJ VI 'O
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit of Mr.. Majors ad-
vertising, which now amounts to over
$4,000 month throughout the country
