boar him breathe all over the house "
says F. D. Reynolds, Mansfield, O

lutely safe and acts Immediately. For
coughs, colds, Group, grip, bronchitis
and ali other throat and lung troubles
it is certain cure. Very pleasant to

Take No Substitute.
FACING A COAL FAMINE HERE,
Supply Was Exhausted and Many
shivered Yesterday.

Americas people who went forth
yesterday in the chilling blasts to buy
coal returned home empty handed.
The local supply was practically ex-
hausted, all of the yards here having
scraped the bin bottoms since the re-
cent bad weather set in. 1t has been
very difficult to get coal from the
mines and Americua does not suffer
alone by any means. Even with
prices advanced it is difficult to get If,
so great is the demand everywhere.
It IS understood, However, that aship-
ment will reach Americus tomorrow,
thus in manner relieving the situa-
ton. Wood wagons were chased upon
every street yesterday, and when OBJ
tainable wood took the place of coal in
CRATES and furnaces.

If there is one minstrel man more
than another who possesses the kindly

march to the cemetery to decorate the
graves of our soldier dead, big hearted
George Wilson rendered the Memorial

ing heroes. It was IAN act of tender
kindness aver forgotten in Amerlcus.

EVERY ONE WANTS HIS MONEY.
But Encountered Some Difficulty In
Cashing Checks.

Cash1ng Cnecks.
People with checks as good as gold
and aggregatlng perhaps $50, 900 or
$40, 900 in value found much difficulty
yesterday in getting them cashed.
Not that the checks were not as good
as Government bonds, but simply be-
cause the banks were closed and cash
was very scarce.
For this reason many even regretted
that G.. Washington was ever born.
1t was payday with the railroad and
likewise payday for the Confederate
veterans. Payment was made in
checks, and these checks must be
cashed ere it could be spent.
The Seaboard paid out probably as
much as $25, 900 in checks, while tie
checks of the Confederate veterans
amounted to 81, 900 or S., 900 or more.
Merchants cashed them as long as
there was cash in their tills, but the
supply drawn from the banks the day
before was soon exhausted.
One merchant had $1,000 on hand,
and paid it out for railroad checks.
Probably such a..condition will never
occur again. Tt was legal holiday,
the banks were closed, and other
sources had to be drawn upon. But
everyone managed to get what money
tkey actually needed, and will pull
through until the banks open for bust
ness tomorrow.
George W. might considerably cele-
brate his birthday on Sunday here
after.
