A Night Alarm.

Worse than an alarm of fire at night
is the bras'y cough of Group, which
sounds like the chiIdren's death knell
and it means death unless something is
done quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar
never fails to give instant relief and
quickly cures the worst forms of Group.
Mrs. P. l.. Cordier, of Warrington, KY,
writes: "My three year old girl had a
severe case of Group; the doctor said she
could not live. I got bottle of Foley g
Honey and Tar, the first dose gave quick
relief and saved hsr life." Refuse SUBJ

A Splendid instrument to Be Given
Away, Free.
When the Times Recorder saw
beautiful new piano unloaded at Dun
cans Store yesterday il curry was
made as to the meaning, for while
Duncan sells everything in the dry
goods line it was hardly thought pos
sible that he would branch out in q
musical way. Mr. Duncan explained
that this handsome instrument was
purchased by him for one of his Gus
tomers-just which one, however,
luck must determine. The piano, a
very handsome upright, is just from
the factory, costing $3.50. BEGINNING
this morning, every cash purchaser of
dollars " orth of goods at Duncan
receives a numbered ticket emitting
him or her to chance at a drawing
for the piano. If one buys So worth,
five tickets are given, or a ticket for
every dollars worth, no matter the
amount The ticket bearing the lucky
number is to be placed IN sealed en-
yelope in the vault of the Bank of
Southwestern Georgia, this insuring
absolute fairness. 1t costs not PEN
ny to get a ticket for this drawing,
and someone is going to get splendid
$3.50 piano absolutely without cost.

ping lick up on the head with an axe.
Frazier sank to the ground in an al
most dying condition, while Wilson
dropped the axe and ran.
It is not known whether the trouble
between Frazier and Wilson was of
very serious.nature, or what the PROVO
cation, if any, for the assault.
Mr. Wade Frazier reported his
brothers. condition as most critical at
the time he left home, stating that he
did not expect to find him alive
upon his return. The scene of the
tragedy was upon the Frazier place,
twelve or fifteen miles from Americas
on the road to Friendship.

Other Sales of Real Estate Are Made
Yesterday

Other Sales of Real Estate Are Made
Yesterday.
Two more sales of residence proper
ty were reported yesterday and in
each instance the realty sold brought
fine values while at the same time the
purchasers were doubtless we'll pleased
with the bargains secured.
In each instance pretty and desira-
bic home was purchased.
Mr.. e. E. McNulty purchased from
Mr.. Thornton Wheatley the cottage at
the corner of Lee and Furlow streets,
nearly opposite the home of Mr.,
George D, Wheatley. The house is q
small one, though the location is most
desirable.
The purchase price was $4,000, the
sale being effected through Mr.. J, B.
Fielder, real estate agent.
The other dwelling sold was No. 613
Church street, and owned by Mrs
Margaret G. Evans. The property was
purchased by Mrs. G. F. Crisp as an
Investment, and was cheap at the price
paid for it, said to have been 81, 1926.
And thus the sales multiply, for
Americas real estate has not been in
such demand in ten years past. Tire
minds one of the boom days of 1890.
But there is no "boom" on here; II
IS simply the steady, rapid and sub
stantial growth of the city, and people
know that there is no better invest.
ment than we'll situated realty here.
Nearly half a hundred sales have been
made recently.
And ia every instance at figures ia,
in advance of what property could
have been bought at year ago. Amer
lcus is on solid basis now.

THE SEASON OF LENT BEGINS.
In Americus, as Elsewhere. It viii Be
Observed,

With yesterday, Ash Wednesday,
the season of Lent began. There was
an interesting service yes terday morn
ing at Calvary Church, conducted by
the rector, Rev. L. G.. Fl. Williams.
During this Period of forty days, the
worldly minded Will lay aside for the
prescribed time unnecessary pleasures
and refrain from Indulgence in pas
times that can be deferred or avoided.
The votaries of fashion will lay aside
the trappings of JOY and don instead
the garb of humility, and for the next
40 days the churches will be attended
by large classes of people who, while
they make sacrifices of pleasures, can
have opportunities of laying in stores
of grace. During the continuance of
Lent there will be few social festivi-
ties among the members of the Chris
tian denominations, as there will be
general observance of the penitential
season,
