AMERIcus MUST GO FORWARD

Americas ranks the proud city
OF Southwest Georgia. Her fair
name Is heralded abroad for stabil-
ity, progress and good business
methods. There has not been a
business failure of any note here
for a number of years. All our
business houses are built upon
the rock of honest dealing, coupled
with the motto "to live and let
live" Yet there is no disputing
the fact that more activity is need
ed in Americas on industrial lines.
There is need for more indus
tries, and our moneyed men have
cause to be up and doing if they
expect Americas to keep pace
with her progressive and wide
awake neighbors. Letting well
enough alone, has never yet and
never will build city.
We should have an all day cleo :
trio current. We need up-to- date
apartment houses. More homes
should be built and more people
brought here to work in factories,
which our capitalists will have

Unless early and correct treatment is

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
Gent treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in 1oins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
IT cannot express the terrible suffering l
had to endure A arrangement of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and a
serious kidney trouble The doctor attended
me for year, but kept getting worse, until
was unable to do anything, and made up
my mind l could not live. finally decided
to try Lydia z. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound as a last resort, and am to-day well
woman. / cannot praise it too highly, and |
tell every suffering woman about my case. 3"

SSSsldsG1ld if Americas keeps abreast
of times. There is abundant room
for Improvement on many lines,
which The Times Recorder has
from time to time undertaken to
aid in bringing to our city.
Who will take the initiative in
this great work?
Some of our leading and pro-
gressive citizens have demonstrated
their willingness and patriotism
in their efforts to build the Yves.
tern & Gulf Railroad. They should
have the cooperation of every
citizen of the town and county.
With this road completed, cotton
would bring a quarter to a half a
cent above the price buyers are
able to pay now. This railroad
we must have, as well as the Agri-
cultural College. These two en-
terprises assured, and the rest
will come.
Let US put our shoulders to the
wheel and begin the good work,
and not stop until the desired end
is accomplished.

In Germany card playing is be-

our young women do not need card

Unfortunately it comes so naturally
that they learn it too readily with

A pITIFuL FIGURE.

At three score years aud ten. with
all the good he has done IN the long
years behind him discredited and dis
allowed in the face OF his present
wretched complication, Captain ormsby,
sits in the federal tribunal at Portland,
undone, disgraced, forlorn; looking with
bitterness upon the wasted faith that
inspired him to merge his personality
and prospects in life, in the career of
Binger Herman. There is no man in all
Oregon win gainsay the old mans claim
to all the lienency the government shall
show him. The very title he bears he
won in the early battle Of Oregon
against the savages that had to be dis.
placed to make room for the hardy
pioneers of the state, and there are
those who viii not forget the virtue of
those days when he was man among
men and leader to bootl Such spec.
tacles as this but intensity the volumne
OF disgrace under which the state is
writhing, and teach her citizens the les
son Of forhearance in behalf OF those
who have fallen from the high places.

GAN ANCHOR TO wINDwARD."

If the vital statistics of Astoria were
but kept in legal perpetuity, as they
should be, the flattering demonstration
would not be long wanting to prove her
possessed Of the biggest lot Of hand
some, healthy, intelligent childen of any
city of her size in the state. They ac-
tually swarm here; the fact of the mat
ter is, they are SO numerous as to make
the ordinary Astorian unmindful of the
potent credit of their existence. She has
indeed cast ian anchor to windward"
in the accumulation of such host of
bright and presentable youngsters, and
If she but nurtures them as is fit and
right she should, for their sakes and
her own, her future will be safe and
doubly assured.
The children we have with US always,
thanks bel If it were not for them
and the duties and responsibilities they
impose, this would be sorry world.
They will never know, until the long
and grieyous years have taught them
the bitter lessons of life, how great an
influence for good, for comfort and for
peace among men, they WELD. Their
ascendancy is incalculable, though rare
ly recognized, except in the most indi-
rect fashion; and it pays to stop and
consider this prestige once in while;
every man is better for it, if ne can
bring himself to understand the virtue
of his child's sway upon his life; the
things he might have DONE and said,
and thought, had it not been for the
gentle, unconscious actuating negative
their existence interposed; the things
he has done, and said and thought and
borne, because they lived and dwelt
close to his heart and their welfare was
the one manifest power that made for
patience and success. We do not con-

broader sense Of life's best motives, and
to do 80 carries its reward, large, and

to quality or value, but always to
quantity. The tax on 1000 cigars is
So, no matter whether they are "Pitts-
burg stogies" or the Key West brand
whose retail value is, say. 25 cents each.
The tax on "Pittsburg stogie" Is about
oneffth of the retail value; it is less
than one-eighth the value Of the Key
West cigar. The country plow.boy who
