SEE ABOUT THE PIPES AGAIN.
Freeze May Catch Americas Mapping
as Before.

= :"
as Before.
AS freeze may follow this rainy
spell it may be wise for Americus peo-
pie to look after Their water pipes and
not get caught mapping, as was the
case last week. On cold nights citi-
zens should turn the water from the
pipes to prevent freeing. Such pre-
caution saves world of trouble and ex-
pense and water can be turned on in
the morning without any discontinue.
Many people leave the water running
at night. This is positively againt the
city ordinance. 1T allows the escape
of hundreds of gallons and prevents
the water works from obtaining pres
sure TO be used in case of fire. The city
authorities are very anxious that pro-
perty owners and tenants should not
leave water running at night. There
is far better way, and, where pipes
are outside of the house, the water in
them should be drained off at night,
then the faucets should be opened.

BIG ORCHARDS NEAR AMERlcUs.
Fruit NJ n Here Win Plant Out More
Trees

Americas fruit growers and those in
this immediate section shipped more
peaches last season than ever before,
and made good money at the business
This year their orchards will be largely
increased. While fruit growing is com
paratiyeIy new venture in Georgia, it
is rapidly growing in popular favor.
Last year there were shipped from
Georgia 1.7O0 cars, which represents
$4,000 crates of peaches, and if the
weather is f.vorable to the trees this
year this amount will be increased to
100000 crates. In south Georgia the
favorite variety is the Early Bell, but
in north Georgia the Eiberta holds
popular favor.

PROSPERITY in CUBA.
PREDICTIONS OF DISASTER
HAVE NOT BEEN Full
FILLED.


Washington, May 22-Senor CUES.
ada, munster from Cuba, is very en-
ihusiastic over what has been accomp-
iishsd by the Independent government
during the year, and especially be-
sause all the predictions of disaster
have failed of realization.
''In the year that Cuba has been
nnder government of her own" said
fhe minister, there have been no dis
srders, no scandals and a prosperity
which shows an honest, capable and
efficient administration. When the
United States turned the island over a
yeAr ago there was about half a mil
lion dollars in the treasury. Now
there are $1,000. 900 surplus, and all
debts and expenses paid. The year
has been most gratifying to Cubans
and all who are interested in her con-
tinued prosperity and welfare.

CAUTIONi


This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase the only remedy universally
known and remedy that has had the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and
treatment of consumption and throst
and lung troubles without losing its
great popularity all these years, you
will be thankful we called your atten-
tion to Boschee's German syrup.
There are so many ordinary cough
remedies made by druggists and 9th
ers that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe coughs,
bronchitis, croup-and especially for
consumption, where there is difficult
expectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The 20 cents size
has just been introduced this year.
