A LEAGUE IN SOUTH GEORGIA.
Dawson and other Towns Are Expected to
Get in the Game.

From the Americas Times.
Americas good neighbor, Albany,
is already in the field with a cracka-
jack baseball team, ready 10 bid de-
lance to all south Georgia, and Amer
icus wants to be IN position to hurl
back the challenge and, moreover, TO
do up her vain but plucky little
sister in a passage. Albany is going
to maintain mi-professiOnal team
and play winning ball, and while
Americas will have nothing but
"home talent" we VIII tackle her just
the same. Already Albany has sign
ed two professional pitchers, and other
players will be added at an early date.
Several college baseballists will also
lend themselves TO strengthen the
team. Games with Columbus, Macon,
Cuthbert, Dawson, Thomasville, Val
dosta and Quitman have already been
arranged. Let Americas organize at
once and proceed to get in the game"
and take the starch out of our prissy
little neighbOr down the road.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-

you have Il rumbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the
suit, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO its normal condi-
ton hearing will be destroyed forever 4 ne cases
out OF ten are caused by catarrh. which moth

PROSPECT OF PEACE.

IT. appears now that there is pros
meet for an early end of hostilitles be
tween the British and Beers in South
Africa. The former have offered cer-
tain terms of ~ ..eement which it is
likely the Afrikanders will see ut to
accept. From reading the peace pro-
posals it would seem that neither SIDE
has gained or lost very much OF a vic
t.Nry: the result is more in the nature
of = dog fall.
Doubtless the end of the war is
consultation devoutly hoped for.
The Hoers have fought with untir-
ing bravery amounting to desperation,
but they cannot fail to realize how DOW
erful is the nation they are opposing.
The British, while brave themselves
and stubborn TO the last degree, have
fonnd the indomitable followers OF
Kruger about the toughest proposition

heartily gladlif the war should close

Early last night trouble occurred in a
house in the extreme northwestern sec

Ivles fastened to the scene, previous to
which Officer Gill had started for the
location. There seemed to be a row
among the members of the family which
had recently removed to this city from
Washington. The mother, two sons
and woman who, it was alleged, one
of the sons had been living with, were
participants in the trouble, and liquor
drinking seemed to be in evidence. One
of the men and the woman were arrest
ed and the mayor this morning fined
them $40 each with the understanding
that when the woman shall have paid her
fine she must leave town.

Narrow Escape.

Freight Conductor Hugh Shacklett
met with a thrilling experience, and
luckily escaped being crushed to death
in an accident which occurred one day
last week at the coal bins at Strasburg
Junction. -Four loaded coal cars were to be
placed in position, and Conductor Shack
lett was at the brake on the end of the
first car going up for the purpose OF
stopping it at the proper place. Steam
from leaky valve blinded the engineer
and prevented him from working the air
brake promptly. The cars in conse-
quence went ahead at lively pace,
collided with light bumper and fell to
the ground. Mr.. Shacklett was caught
beneath the demolished car and buried
under pile of coal. 1t took some time
to rescue him, but fortunately he was
not seriously hurt though badly bruised.
Mr.. Shacklett struck to his post and
made every exertion to stop the train.
He is well-known in this city.
