CREDITORS STILL
PRESSING CASE,
Filed Petition For Receiver
Here.
BOTH WHITLEY AND STANDARD
Marshal Barnes Serves Paper and
SEXES Property of Both Companies
Pending an Adjustment of Affairs in
Federal Court.

United States Marshal John M.
Barnes came to Americus yesterday af-
ternoon for the purpose of seizing the
properties of the Whitley Grocery Co
and also of the Standard Grocery Co.
by virtue of an order issued by Judge
Emory Speer a day or two since.
The seizure was duly made, and
Marshal Barnes is in custody of the
properties of both companies,
The proceedings created considera>
BILE surprise inasmuch as the Standard
Grocery Co. was included in the order
of seizure, this being new organiza
tion and but recently established.
The seizure was brought about at the
instance of certain creditors of the
Whitley Grocery Co. who, through At
torney G. R. Ellis, filed an ancillary
bill asking the appointment of re-
ceiver, or else that the property be
seized and held pending q further
hearing,
The latter proceeding was adopted,
for the present, at least, and the entire
case will be fully heard at some very
near future date.
The petitioners, it is understood, al
lege that the Standard Company was
organized at the instance of the Whit
ley Company for the purpose of con-
veyiDg to the former corporation the
assets of the Whitley Company, TO the
detriment of said petitioners, hence
the action taken.
A day or two ago Attorney G. r. Ell
lis, representing the petitioners, went to
New Orleans, where Judge Emory
Speer is at present, and there secured
from him the order executed yes
terday.
Judge Speer will return to Macon
within q week, and then appoint q date
to hear the case.
Marshal Barnes, with his assistants,
will be engaged today taking stock.
The petitioners have given bond IN the
sum of $40, to indemnify the defen.
dant companies in the event the allie
cations set forth are not proven when
the case is heard on its merits.
The defendant companies have the
right to give bond and resume bust
ness, pending the official hearing OF
the case, if they so desire.

FAR BETTER THAN VACCINE.
Lettuce Said to Be Preventive of
Smallpox.

Americas people who eat lettuce
need have no fear OF contracting small
pox, as this wholesome vegetable is q
sure preventive, and there is no need
for vaccination. An eminent medical
authority asserts that any person who
eats small quantity of lettuce twice a
day, morning and evening, is as we'll
protected against smallpox as it is pos
sible for any one to be. To be sure,
one ought to be clean, ought to live in
ventilated rooms, and avoid dirt of all
sorts. Also avoid contact with people
who have smallpox. Foolish exposure
to the contagion If small pox is not to
bs thoughtof. Go calmly on about your
business. Provide small quantity of
lettuce morning and evening, and you
can feel sure that you have protected
yourself and your family in the best
possible way against smallpox.

VETERANS CALL FOR sHEckELs
Checks In Numbers Were Given Out
Yesterday.

4 Judge Aliens office in the courthouse
was the Mecca yesterday for dozens of
Confederate pensioners to whom the
Times Recorder had carried the glad
tidings that this annual stipend was at
their disposal. All of the 12O checks
have been received, and Judge Allen
is paying them out as fast as called for.
AS usual these pension checks bear the
signature of Mr.. G. It, Furlow, assis-
tant treasurer and himself a Confed-
crate veteran who is ever glad to do
his old comrades in arms friendly
turn. Most of the checks are for the
uniform sum of $50, though a few are
for 800, where limb has been lost,
any many for $50, covering lesser
disability. Altogether the pension
checks amounted to $1,000, and much
of this money is already circulating
here.

the bailif-if not the traditional wolf
from securing too intimate an acquaint-
