A third set Of stanzas was communicated
to Mr.. Lewalter by teacher Of languages
in Cassel named Eisentrager, who had
lived many years In America. Some Of its
verses are as follows
Yankee Doodle is the tune
Americans delight in.
1T Will do whistle. sing or play,
And just the thing for fighting
Yankee Doodle. boys. huzza

And when ones got pumpkin pie.

Our girls are fair our boys are tough
Old folks are wise and healthy.
And when We have everything enough.
We count that we are wealthy
The land We till is all our own.
Whatever the prize we paid 1t.
Therefore we'll fight till all is blue.
Should any dare invade 1t.
Finally, he has the words regarded in
this country as the nursery version, but
which are the only ones generally known
and sung in the British Islands:
Yankee-doodle came to town
A-riding on a pony,
He stuck a feather in his hat
And called it macaroni.
Yankeedoodle. boys. hurrahi

Mr. Lewalter devoted considerah lie energy
to tracing the history of the song.
He adopts the view that the version COM
monty sung here, as given in the Farmer and
Moore collection, is the original one. He
attributes the authorship to one DR.. Scham-
burg or Schuckburg or Schuckberg. sur

cENTRAL's TRAIN NOT LOCATED
Wires Down and Nothing Known of
It's Whereabouts,

us WNuGISdbOuk$s
The Central Railway authorities were
looking for one of their trains last
night and wondering where it could be.
This was the passenger train leaving
Atlanta at o'clock yesterday after
noon for Macon, where it connects
with the Southwef arn train for Amer
icus. The train left Atlanta one hour
late, but since that time nothing could
be heard from it. ALI wires were down
between Macon and Atlanta last night.
The train is supposed to have struck a
washout at some point and stopped,
but this fact could not be communi-
Gated, as there were no wires in opera
ton. The Central's train from Macon
pulled out for Americas and Albany
late last night after hearing nothing
from the lost Atlanta train

BUSINESS MEN, attention.

Would you invest part of your
money each year in business,
under a contract not to take out
any of your profits until the end of
20 years, and to forfeit all your
profits if you died prior to that
time?
We think not.
That is exactly what you do
however when you take policy
of life insurance on the 20 year ac-
cummulation or 20 year distribu-
ton plan, as issued by most of the
companies.
Why not apply the same bust
ness principles to your insurance
and take an annual dividend policy
in the UNION CENTRAL LIFE
which is paying better dividends
here in Americas right now, than
any other company2 There are no
better contracts issued.

VALUES CONTINUE TO ADVANCE
Americus Pays Seven and Half Cents

Americus Pays Seven and Half Cents
for Cotton.
Seven and half cents was the price
of good cotton in Americas yesterday,
another ten points advance in failures
putting values up to that notch. Thus
within the past two weeks the market
has advanced nearly cent a pound ;
fully three fourths of cent; and the
end is not yet. Holders of spot cotton
are sitting steady in the boat and will
await the time when more equitable
prices are offered before selling their
bales. Eight cents for cotton is an
early probability, and in view of the
fact that nearly half the crop here was
sold around ten cents earlier in the
season it is believed that eight cents
now will turn out good portion of the
crop held, thus bringing up the aver
age price to fair figure.
