A RUSH FOR STORES
AND FIVE ARE TAKEN
Great Demand Hers Yesterday For
Empty Buildings
NEW PEOPLEARE COMING HERE
Stores I hat RaTs Been Without Ten.
ants For Years Are In Demand
More Business HOases Will Be
Opened in Americas.

That more prosperous era predicted
for Americas in the event blind tigers
were voted out appears to have dawn
ed already. The owls and bats are e.
ing stirred from their hiding places in
empty stores here and new tenants are
coming
And all OF the twenly-one 'empties'
will soon be occupied by good tenants,
Many of these stores, costly brick
bindings, have been unoccupied for
three or four yearp, but this era of de-
preston now seems at au end
Yesterday morning the large store
now occupied by D. W Baeley, in
the Byne Block, was leased by him to
Ell. MCGEE, of Montezuma. Mr.
MCGEE will establish wholesale and
retail business IN Americus at once.
Mr.. Bagley will occupy the double
store on Lee street, vacated by J. II
Poole & Sons, and now without a
tenant.
Mr.. A. J. Hamil has leased a large
and desirable store on Cotton Avenue,
now empty, to L, G. Daniel, Of Tus-
caloosa, Ala, The deal is already
closed.
The large double store of Buchanan
Bros. on Cotton Avenue, long vacant,
was leased yesterday. The name OF
the lessees and the kind of business to
be conducted there is not known.
The parties leasing it come from
another Georgia city.
Mr.. w. a. Dodson, who owns a fine
store on Cotton Avenue, aud which
has been vacant several years, had
three applications yesterday morning
for it.
Another merchant, who pays $50 per
month for very handsome and de-
sirable store, was offered S75 per month
for it by gentleman from Fitzgerald
who is here for the purpose of estab-
fishing some kind of wholesale bust
ness.
There were probably other hatter-
ing offers made for vacant properties,
but the Times Recorder heard of the
several changes above mentioned.
And vacant houses why my dear
hey they cannot be had here at any
price. There are none.
A renting agent received wire a
day or two ago from party in Eufau-
la who wished to come here. The
agent had only one small house,
which, however, will not be vacant for
q month.
The situation was explained TO the
EufauIan. He telegraphed back that
he would take the house, and without
even asking what the rental was.
A brighter day, commercially, has
dawned for our city. New people,
with capital to invest, are coming to
Americas, and the city will increase in
trade and population, She has suffer
ed long, but redemption comes at last.
Let every citizen get to work now
and pull for Greater Americus.

meningitis, and was buried at this
place the following day, the funeral
services being conducted by Revs. G.

number of sympathizing friends &C
companied the young parents and the
mortal remains of the baby to Brook
haven, where naught but love and sym
patty awaited every bereaved and
stricken heart. The little one had
been ill for several days and its brief
life of little more than a year ended
after severe trial and suffering Thi ,
was not only beloved babe; but was
the one white soul of its parents home
and the only grand child of its devoted
grandmother.
How beautiful and pure was the
life, how sweet the memory of this lit
tie one! How dear the hope that some
day, somehow, somewhere, the pre-
cious little face will smile again re-
sponsive to hearts of love, now 50 sad
dened because Of its going away. Until
that time, may God keep the hearts
that loved it so true."

While we bid farewell to the old
year, let's accept the inevitaoie
and seek to improve with every oppor-
tunity-one of the which is: subscribe

The Christmas Day dinner, at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. W. c. Summers,
given as a token of love aud JOY on the
annual visit of their eldest son, FLOYD,
was much enjoyed by ha.f hundred
friends and relatives.
The Christmas tree at Topisaw
school was a successful affair. The
net value of the presents thereon was
slO5: besides w. c. Price and W. y.
Summers got fine pair OF second
hand turkey feet-not valued.
Everything in way of general deport-
ment was reasonably good down THIS
way during the holidays. Some OF the
darkies and few "suckers" of brighter
color ordered whiskey from Edgar, so
it is said.
The entertainment Thursday night
at Mr.. VIM. H. Reeves was largely at
tended and very much enjoyed; every
thing was in good order-just as. we
expected.
Two or three weddings we're in order
down this way during Christmas
times, and among them was our worthy
young friend Marcus Wooley and Miss
Walker, of McComb; also Mr.. Lucius
Connolly and Miss Carrie Redmond,
of Salisbury. Much joy to them.
Our good brother, Rev. r. j. Boone,
gave us a most excellent lecture at the
installation of officers at Topisaw
Lodge on the 9th of December. His
subject was: 1.-The 81 irit or principle OF
Masonry; its mission to the world !"
All officers were installed and a good
collection taken for the orphans.
We are due our clever friend, B. b.
Boyle, of Union, compliment for the
attention he gave our Christmas Tree
parade, in bringing down a vehicle
load of nice girls, viz: Misses Mamie
and Picnic Boyle and Carrie and Jen-
ME Bennett. Come again, Barzill.
$50 mote it be-" the boys all say.
We we're glad to meet among our
folks, during Christmas, the two daugh-
tiers of Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Wooley,
Mrs. Lizzie Burns, of Brookhaven, and
Mrs. Mamie Dunlap, of Texas.
Our reading friend, W. G. Summers,
bought seven dollars worth of books
for Christmas enjoyment and says II
pays better than buying whisky. AT,
ter years of experience and observa
ton he is inclined to recommend the
investment.

II have noticed that the sale of
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets is almost invariably to those
who have once used them" says Mr.. j.
ii. Weber, prominent druggist of
Cascade, Iowa. What better recon-
mendation could any medicine have
than for people to call for it when
again in need of such remedy? Try
them when you feel dull after eating,
when you have a bad taste in your
mouth, feel bilious, have no appetite
or when troubled with constipation,
and you are certain to be delighted

A poor complexion is usually the re-

Worthy of Imitation.

A prominent farmer and land owner
in the eastern part of the county is
selling land in small tracts-40 to 80
acres-to bona fide settlers, on from
two to four years credit, the purchaser
paying interest only on the purchase
price until payments are due. 1t oc-
ours to the writer that this is good
way for young men to provide them
selves with homes, and also good
way for those who are land-poor to re-
alize on their holdings, and at the
same time help to develop the re-
sources of the coun try. o. Z. S.
