COTTON MILLS BUYING STOCKS

Supply Short and Must Be Replenished
Soon.
The entire warehouse receipts of cot
ton in Americus during any season
would not supply the cotton mills of
Columbus aIane. AS evidence of this
fact it is said that the Columbus mills
are now in the market for supplies of
cotton and will thus get the best
quality of the new crop The mills Of
that city consume between 10000 and
90, 900 bales annually, or probably the
entire wagon receipts of the city. Were
this the case generally in the South
there would be no trou Die about the
price of cotton.

Stand by Your Town.

1t is not the site Of a town, but its
character that makes desirable place
to live. A live and prospectus town is
a desirable one. and town may live
and prosper and yet be small. Every
citizen in a town should be interested
in its prosperity. One OF tbs ways to
help a town is to speak we'll of it. 1t
is true patriotism to stand by your
own town and interest as we'll says an
exchange.
Another way TO hel p your town is
to do all YOU can to beautify il.
Beautify your own property all YOU
can, then do all you can to beautify
your streets. Be friendly with every
body and courteous to strangers.
Your ciyility will help make good i'm
pressiOns and will be carried away
and cherished. Never forget you are
part of the town and that your own
department helps to make up the
stanger's estimate of the place. Sell
all YOU can and buy all you can at
home. Every dollar that is sent or
carried away from the town makes it
that much poorer. If you have the
means invest in something that will
give somebody employment. Do not
kick at proposed improvement simp-
" because it is not at your door. a
town tfat is always improving is also
spreading itself out. If a rich man
starts project, encourage him, il a
Door man starts one, help him. Don't
be afraid to thrust your hands into
your pockets to help public enter,
prise. More towns have been killed
by such refusals than other fwsys,
The citizens of any prosperous town
are always public spirited and united
Stand together, work together for the
interests of the whole town. Always
stand ready to do your part. Dom
grumble and spend your time in proph
esying failures, but help to make
every enterprise a success, be it grea
or small. Be energetic and enter
prising and your example will b'
initiated.

Sharply sprinkTed With Bird Shot.

G. H. Wagner, who is here from In
diana visiting former friends, had an
experience Saturday that will ever re-
mind him of his first trip to the Sunny
Southland. Mr.. Wagner, in company
with Mel Graham, of Jennings, Jas.
and Ed. Bower and Theron Plumb,
went quail hunting Saturday and were
several miles north of Welsh. The
boys became scattered. A quail flew
up and Graham let go at the bird
without taking into consideration the
safety of his companions, and as a
result winged two of them at one shot.
When the smoke had cleared away
Graham at first thought he had been
surrounded by a band of Comanche
Indians from the war whoOps that
we're emanating from the tall grass in
the direction the quail had fallen, but
he soon realized that the bird had not
stopped all of the leaden missiles.
Mr.. Wagner and Jim Bower were
standing only few feet apart and
within range of the gun. One shot
struck Wagner in the center of the
forehead and another in the leg, while
Bower was hit in the cheek directly
under the right eye and his upper liz
was pierced.
They came home ard that night DR.
Cooper removed the shot and dressed
the wounds of Mr.. Wagner, but MIR
Bowen is carrying his as a souvenir O
the trip.

HARDWARE STORE BURGLARIZED.
EnIyeS and Razors TO the Amount OF
Over $3.50 We're Stolen.

Burglars began their new year oper-
atoms in Welsh Sunday night and
their nefariOus avocation was applied
on an old, time onored victim, H. A.
Davidson in whom the light fingered
gentry have implicit confidence Of
keeping just what they want.
In opening up Monday morning it
vas found that the rear doors sof Mr..
DaYidSon'S hardware store had been

CATION disclosed the fact that the show
cases containing his most valuable
knives and razOrs had also been tam
perad with and the contents removed
tberefrom.
About hundred and fifty pocket
knives and two dozen razors were
stolen, the actual loss having been es-
timated at about $50.
As usual there is no clew to the rob-
berry. Entrance was gained by forcing
the rear door and the instrument used
vas piece of brake taken from a
box car, which leads the authorities
to believe that the burglary was COM
