GUERRY ORATORS IN AMERICUs
Macon Attorneys Come Here in His
Behalf.


The cause of Mr.. Dupont Query was
very earnestly pleaded in Americus
last night by two Macon attorneys,
Judge John P. Ross and Mr.. Buford
M, Davis, who addressed an audience
assembled at the corner of the Bank of
Southwestern Georgia.
It was by no means large audience
of voters, but the speakers were listen
ed to attentively and their remarks
literally applauded.
The colored brass band discoursed
several spirited airs and aided materi-
ally in assembling the appreciative
audience. Many prominent citizens
were in the crowd,
Judge Ross, the first speaker, was
introduced by Dol. W. T. Lane and
spoke perhaps an hour. LIE extolled
at length the virtues of his candidate
and defined his position in the cam
paign. Mr.. Ross is an interesting
speaker and entertained his hearers,
He was followed by Mr.. Buford
Davis, who spoke upon the same lines.
The meeting lasted for an hour or two,
the gentlemen being accorded q
respectful hearing throughout.

STORM OF RAIN AND
HAIL IN THE CITY,
Trees Uprooted and Some Buildings
Damaged.
RAINsTORM CAME UP SUDDENLY
And Some Slight Damage is Inflicted
Here Trees Upset, Sheds Leyeled
and Tent Blown Down-A Splendid
Rain Follows.

A Windstorm of considerable severity
struck Americas at 1 O'Clock Yesterday
afternoon, followed by rain and hail.
the three agencies combined creating
some little uneasiness as many feared
that small cyclone had burst upon
the city.
Trees and fences were Ieveled, sheds
blown down and other lighter damage
inflicted.
The storm came almost without
warning, and ere they knew it people
upon the streets were scampering out
OF the rain and lodging falling trees
and flying tin roofs.
Almost at the first fearful gust the
Baptist tent on the hotel park collapsed
and spread out over a quarter acre OF
ground. In all portions of the city tin
roofs were rolled up like cigarette
papers and blown from buildings.
while big trees toppIed.
Everyone sought place of safety
from the dreaded "cycIone."
At the Burkhalter place on Church
street several large trees were blown
down, one, a large oak, barely missing
the dwelling. The shed in front of
Buchanan Bros Store was lifted.
The hail was of short duration and
did but little damage, more than Offset
by the fine rain. It was the first in
just four weeks and will relieye the sit
uation inmeasureably. The rain was
local, extending but little ways from
the city.
But now that the back bone of the
drouth is broken general rains here
may be expected.

800 Reward, 300.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there IS at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure In all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
C institutional disc ase, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patent strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
it's work. The prOprietors have SO
much faith in it's curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

A DOZEN TRUE Bills FOUND
Charging Violation of The Local OPP
ton Laws.


The blind tiger is on the run and the
grand jury is after the wary though
sightless beast with a long pole. AS
was generally supposed, the grand
jury now in session held back the batch
of indictments found from day to day
against persons charged with selling
whlskey in Americas until yesterday,
when quite batch were sent to the
clerks desk. There are perhaps a
dozen true bills, half of them against
we'll known white citizens and the
others against negroes. Several of the
latter were arrested yesterday after
noon and the cases will come to trial
next week. This does not end the
tiger hunt, however, as the grand jury
is still beating the bushes and stirring
up the sightless beasts.

Big Concern Chartered to Develop
Sugar Lands In Our Neighboring
County.

Austin, Texas, November Is
The charter of the Hidalgo Canal
company was filed with the secre-
tary of state this evening. The
capital stock of the company is
100000 and its headquarters at
Hidalgo. The incorporators are
William Briggs, H. W. Lantz, W.
F. Sprague and F. NJ. Carfall. The
purpose of this company is to cut
irrigating canals, construct reser-
voirs and to develop the rich Rio
Grande valley in Hidalgo county.
The alluvial soil of the Rio Grande
valley is very fertile, so these incor-
porators say, and with supply of
moisture will produce sugar cane
equal to any land in Texas.
