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 it's stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, re quires 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 patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
dong its 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.

COMPANIES ARE TAKING STOCK
Assets of Whitley and Standard Com
panies Listed.

pdHI0S LISLGQ.
The action just taken by certain
creditors of the Whitley Grocery Go.
in making application in the United
States court for the seizure of the
property of that company, and like
wise that of the Standard Grocery Co.
was generally discussed upon all sides
here yesterday.
The full story of the proceedings was
given in the Times. Recorder.
During the morning United States
Marshal B BArnes, assisted by Mr.. Whit
ley and hers of the company, made
an inventory of the books, while the
stocks of goods will also be listed.
This will require considerable time,
especially in the case of the Standard
Grocery Co. as there is large stock Of
goods to be gone through and valued

It is not fully known yet whether
the two dt f9ndant companies will give

the hearing of the case in the courte,
or await the final decision there.

MEASURE IN STREETS
And Guesses are Made as to Meaning
Thereof.

At one particular period of the idle
hours yesterday between q. m. and 8
p. m. two mysterious men, bearing a
tape measure hundred feet in length,
came up Cotton Avenue, carefully
measuring that street.
They then turned into Forsyth and
likewise into Jackson, measuring the
street as they wenss
Instantly Cotton Avenue was agog
with suppressed excitement and the
old stove in the warehouse was quick
ly deserted as the whittlers all came to
the front gesticulate, to expectorate
and likewise to calculate.
What were those men with the meas
uring line doing? The question was
put directly to the men themselves,
but they did not seem to know.
Then the Avenueites, with Col, Lit
tleton as chairman, went into caucus.
The preponderance of opinion was
that the men were making quiet sur
vey for street railway. At this sug-
gestion hackman offered his rig to o
quick buyer, while Col. Littleton's
PAGER ''Bullet" was marked down 10
points.
A measured racetrack for the candi-
dates was also suggested.
The thought of direct route to the
sea for the Atlanta feet was declared
rather improbable.
In the meanwhile the street meas
urers were disappearing rapidly IN the
distance. By resolution adopted, q
fanking party of determined men was
despatched to capture the invaders
and find out their object, or die.
But the unexpected event thre v the
Avenue off its balance during the re.
mainder of the afternoon.

DEATH CLAIMED MRS. RRlNsoN.
Beloved Woman Passed Away Here
Yesterday.

Beloved Woman Passed Away Here
Yesterday.
In the death of Mrs. Martha Brinson,
which occurred here at o'clock yes
terday morning. this community sus-
tains the loss of one of it's purest,
noblest and best women; one whose
life was devoted to golden deeds of
kindness and made lighter the burdens
borne by others about her.
The end came peacefully, as one
sinking to sleep after arduous toll.
The illness of this good woman was
only of two weeks duration, pneumonia
resulting later. But the end found
her prepared to answer the call of Him
whom she had lorg and faithfully
served.
Mrs. Brinson was the reIict of the
late D. K BrinsoD, former promin-
ent citizen of Americus. She was
Miss Van Valkenburg, and when yet
an infant her parents removed from
New York to Macon. The greater part
of her life, however, had been spent
happily here in AmerIcus.
A consistent member of the Baptist
church hero and ever identified with
work in its behalf, her life was one of
charity, kindness and benevoIence.
The deceased is survived by two
daughters. Mrs. Arthur Rylander and
Mrs, J, L. Montgomery; two SOM,
Charles and David Brinson. Among
her surviving sisters are Mrs. s. P.
Richards and Mrs, r. G. Black, of At
lanta, Mrs. MeAfee, of Americus, and
Mrs. Arnold, now of Savannah.
The funeral services will be conduct
ed at 3 o'clock this afternoon from her
late residence on Taylor street,
The pallbearers selected are: Messrs,
J. b. Dunn, G.. W. Stallings, E. 7.
Mathis, J. B. Fielder. M. Galloway and
Geo. 81. Seig, who will meet at the

My naby had Eczema so bad that it's
head was a solid mass of scabs, and it's

Salve. The Eczema is cured, the scabs
are gone and the little ones scalp is
perfectly clean and healthy, and its hair
is growing beautifully again. I capnot

When You Rave a Cold.

The first action when you have cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
Remedy liquefies the tough mucus and
causes it's expulsion from the air cells
of the lungs. produces free expector-
alton, and opens the secretions. A CON-
plete cure soon follows. This remedy
will cure severe cold in less time than
any other treatment and it leaves the
system in natural and healthy con
dition. 1t counteracts { any tendency
toward pneumonia. For sale by all
druggists.
