THIS DISPLAY IS MAGNIFICENT
Never Before Has it Been Eaualed in
Americas.


April will be q mouth of weddings in
Americus and already society is upon
the qui vive in happy anticipation of
the numerous occasions of prominence,
matrimonially, already announced, to
say nothing of others to occur in the
very near future.
And in picturing the wedding scene,
the brilliant array of wedding gifts
loom pin the background.
Equally perplexing to the planning
of the wedding gown and the multitu
dinous details of the occasion is that
confronting the invited guests. what
shall / give as PRESENT."
And right here the Times Recorder
comes to the rescue of the perplexed
and indecisive donor.
In years agone a wedding present
was not considered of great moment; a
plated cake basket, the inevitable
pickle stand or small bit of iswelry
suficing. But this is a practical age;
an age of utility, and such useless ar
ticles as these are never considered.
The wedding present must combine
beauty and utility alike.
Gut glass is the most popular, as we'll
as the most acceptable of many articles
within the limit of the average purse.
In cut glass one can select gorgeously
beautiful bowls, tankards, pitchers,
vases, tumblers, goblets, water bottles,
rose bowie, cream trays and orange
bowls, of varied styles and designs.
All these, and other designs in end
less profusion and rich beauty, can be
seen artistically displayed at the A..
W. Smith Furniture Co.. q store.
There, too, Is found superb hand
painted china in chop trays, salad
bowls, chocolate pots, cake plates, eel
cry dishes, tankards, cups and saucers.
What more than q rich set of china,
or china cabinet, would delight the
fiuttering heart of bride?
What could be more acceptable than
an exc 1lsitely decorated lamp in all the
rich colors prevailing? Or perhaps you
would select dozen or half doz an sill
yer spoons, ivory handle knives,a cary
ing set, rattan divan or rocker.
At this vast emporium Bohemian and
Japanese vasep, Jap jardinieres. pedes-
tals, odd pieces of rich china, are in
endless variety.
Mr.. A. w. Smith, the experienced
buyer for this vast stablishme mt, makes
his purchases in person and deals di-
rectly with the manufacturer. He thus
saves the enormous profit of the whole
sale dealer, and his custom ers in Amer
icus get the benefit of this saving.
Just now the lines of suitable, USE

constitute in their entirety q peri sct

Mecca of scores of buyers in few days

1t is a blending of the beautiful, the
ornamental and the useful. Values are
most reasonable, and no house in
Americus off,rs such inducements, or
such superb goods from which to make
selections

SANTA FE NOR TO GET LINE.
yyinchen Denies That Rock Island Is
to Sell St. Louis Road.


Emphatic denial was made yester-
day in Chicago by President B. L.
Winchell of the Rock Island of the re-
ports that have started up afresh to
the effect that the Santa Fe is about
to conclude negotiations for the pur-
chase of the Rock Islands st. Louis
and Kansas City line.
1.-THE Rock Islands St. Louis-Kansas
City line" he declared, has not been
sold to the Santa Fe, or to anybody
else, for $14, 100000 or any other sum,
and there is no likelihood that it will
be. Since the purchase and COM
pletion of that line by the Rock Island
it has been meeting fully the expecta-
tons entertained regarding it at the
time the purchase was made, and
there is no reason why the Rock
Island should wish to dispose of it,
Mr.. Winche1l also denied the report
circulated short time ago that an ar
rangement was likely to be COM
pIeted between the two companies
named under which the Santa Fe
would be given right of way over the
Rock Islands ST. Louis-Kansas City
line and the Rock Island receive in
return right of-way over the Santa
FEES Kansas lines between certain
points He said the only foundation
for that report was that when Mr..
Nudge left the Santa Fe for the Rock
Island he took Mr.. Ripley, his former
president with him when making a
tour of inspection over the line. There
was. he said, absolutely no truth in
either report.
Outside opinion gives as the reason
of the proposed sale that since the
purchase of the Alton by Rock Island
interests the road has no use for two
st. Louis-Kansas City lines.

BIG BUSINESS IN TICKETS.
Millions of Dollars Handled by Pas
senger Mileage Bureau.

Through the agency of the Central
Passenger association mileage bureau,
the railroads in the territory of that
organization have received during the
last eight years a total revenue of
$54,O0O,000. OF this vast sum the
railroads, also through the bureau,
have returned to the purchasers of
the 1000 mile interchangea bic mile
age book the total sum of SIS, 000,00
These facts developed during a recent
meeting of the Central Passenger as
ISOLATION, when the railroads in the
state of Michigan made application
and were admitted to the Central Pas
senger association bureau. The appli-
ca ton was preceded by the dissolution
of the Northern interchangeable mile
age bureau formerly maintained by
the Michigan roads. The new mileage
thus added to the bureau and. over
which the 1000 mile book will here
after be good amounts to between
5000 and 1000 miles.
1t was stated in the meeting that
1000 mile books are sold daily by the
bureau and will hereafter be good IN
all territory north of the Ohio river
and east of Chicago and st. Louis to
Pittsburg and Buffalo. The pur-
chasers pay $50 for the books and se-
cure a rebate of $40 upon a return Of
the cover. The $18.000,000 thus dis
bursed by the bureau has been
handled without the loss of a single
dollar, which is an unparalleled feat.

Kennewiclk Irrigatfng Canal

Is located at the very gateway Of tha-
Yakima Valley. which is admfttedIse-
one of the best irrigation propositions
in the United States Standing as ie
does, at the extreme east of the valley,
and almost at the junction OF the
Yakima river with the Columbia, IL,
has season which is from two to-
three weeks earlier than the upper
part. Small fruits and berries are am
especially profitable crop, and on ac=
count of their ripening early, com--
mand the highest price in the market.
For the same reason. canteioupes are
grown at Kennewick in great profu-
sion, and inasmuch as they ripen from
two to three weeks earlier than the
Colorado canteloupes, they are in great
demand.
Land can still be purchased at rea-
sonable prices, but it is being very
rapidly taken up, and those who wish
to locate in this valley had better Sc
cure their land there at as early a date
as possible.
The climate is very mild and health
full, and is particularly beneficial to
persons afflicted with bronchial OF ca
tarrha1 troubles.
