T. D. HoDEY SPENDS A MINUTE
IN THE TICKET OFFICE AND
LOSES TWO eRIPs-P. X. sHIR-
LEY ANOTHER VICTIM.

T. D. Bodey. an auditor of the Cudahy
Packing company, with headquarters in
Atlanta. in spite of the fact that his stay
in Birmingham last night was but for a
few minutes, was fobbed of two suit cases.
one of which contained his personal eff
fects and the other important papers.
which TO him were very valuable.
Mr.. Bodey reported the matter to the
police, and efforts. to apprehend the thief
are being made. 1t seems that Mr.. Bodey
stepped from train and ran into the
ticket office to see about a reservation
for berth space in another. When he en-
tered the office he laid his grips on the
pavement on the outside. When he re-
turned they were gone. The loss is a seri-
Gus one. and reward will be offered for
the capture of the thief. and the return
of the property.
p X Shirley, a student of the Fifth
District Agricultural school at Wetumpka,
reported a similar case to the police. 1t
seems that when the Bryan parade passed
he left his suit case in the lobby of the
Metropolitan hotel. When he returned it
was gone VIII Outlaw, negro porter
employed at the hotel, was arrested on
suspicion of being the thief in this case,
but the property was not recovered.
The police declare that it is the case
every fall that thieves make themselves
busy in taking articles of clothing as a
protection against the coming of winter.

CUTICURA REMEDIES
/ HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

SIN reply to your letter I write you
ny experience, and you are privileged
o use it as you see fit. Last year,
fter having my little girl treated by a
lery prominent physician for an obsti-
late case of eczema, | resorted to the
Cutioura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cutioura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cutieura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
it'costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

perature aud the sizzling citizen is al
ready willing to to make sworn affidavit
that he has never seen q more fervent
time. Recently the complaint of too
much rain has been long and loud, but
if the kIckers wanted something hot
they are getting it all right. The suns
rays have that searching tendency that
penetrates the gauze shirt and par boils
the son ofman while his waits. Nor
can he fl se from the felvent smile of
Sol, for even in the recesses of his
home the mercury mounts to the top
of the tube and there is no balm in
Gilead. The linen suit is a mockery,
and the book beer a deIusion and a
snare. The voice of the son of man is
lifted up in the wilderness, and the sun
in the azure blue smites him q mighty
smite. Verify, he is cooked to turn
parboiled, fried and fricaseed as he
fiieth vainly for cool nook that exist

Jesse, Mr.. E, B. Wooten of Tarboro, N
G will assume control of that splendid
property one month hence. The lease
made is for five years.
Mr.. Wooten comes to Americus Sep
TENDER 1st to assume charge.
Several days ago, Mr.. Wooten came
to Americas and thoroughly inspected
the property as we'll as looking over
the fold here, and upon returning
home decided to close the deal.
Mr.. Wooten is a very capable hotel
man of many years experier ce, and the
local company is doubtless pleased
with the selection made. He comes tc
Americas very highly recommended,
financially as we'll as experienced hoteI
manager
For many years he has conducted
the principal hotel in the North Caro-
lima city from whence he comes, and
which erjoys most excellent reputa
ton as one of the best kept hostelries
in the state.
And this experience and energy he
brings to Americus. .
AS stated already, the lease is for the
term of five years, the annual rental
being $4,000.
Immediately upon the new lease be-
coming effective the hotel company
will make needed improvements in the
building, spending at least 81, SOC
thereupon. This need has long been
recognized and at last the work is to
be started.
1t is proposed to put the hotel in
good condition, including the stores on
the ground floor.
The fact that the property was in lit.
igation for long number of years,
ere the company won out, was respon
sIbIe for the delay in lettering the
physical condition of the property and
making 1t in keeping with its very
handsome appearance.
That this is finally to be done is a
subject of congratulation TO the people
of Americas and to the travelling public
as we'll.
