SACRIFICED

Owing to contemplated change
in our business early next year, it
becomes necessary that our stock be
cleared out and instead of waiting
for the usual late January sales we
have decided to throw the entire
stock or the market now at a great
sacrifice This is unquestiOnably
the finest stock of Dry Goods, Cloth
ing, Ladies' Tailor-Made Suits, Car
pets, Rugs Mattings and everything
pertaining to the business that the
people of Americas and all Southern
Georgia ever had an opportunity to
buy at such enormous reductions
right in the midst of the best part of
the season. Our object in putting on
the sale now is that the stock is so
large it could not be closed out in
few days time after Christmas. Most
people buy the greater part of their
winter goods before Christmas so in
order to accomplish our purpose it
must go now.

FORECASTINC BIG FLOODS.
Most Destructive Inundation for
Fifty Years Accurately Foretold
by Weather Bureau.

Early in 1897 kilograms were posted
in a hundred cities along the Missis-
sippi. warning the inhabitants to pre-
pare for tremendous floods. These
warnings, says j. e. Watkins, In the
Technical World, went so far as to
name the exact date-sometimes w
or three weeks off-when the coming
food would be at its height, and even
stated the number of feet above low
water mark the water would reach.
They were signed by the chief or the
weather bureau at Washington.
The inhabitants Of Cairo, New Or
leans and of the towns and cities be-
tween read these sensational messages,
looked out at the shrunken Father or
Waters flowing calmly along within
its banks and shifted contemptuously.
They were not going to be scared by a
lot of fool scientists in Washington!
Only a comparatively few timld people
were at all alarmed or even impressed.
These went so far as to move their
valuable property up onto high ground,
and were well laughed at for their
pains. Even the newspapers took the
matter up, and scolded the govern
ment for allowing the weather bu-
reau to brighten neerlessly a lot of
silly old women.
Finally the date set for the coming
of the flood arrived, and with 1t came
the water. The greatest flood for more
han half a century swept down the
Mississippi and overlooked more than
/ 10 900 square miles of land. The main
streets of a hundred towns and cities
were under water; and, at some points
practically the only property not dam
aged was that Of the ridiculed people
|, who had needed the despised warning
: of the weather bureau. AND 1t was es
timated that property to the value o
t SIS, 900, 600 was saved, which woul'
: certainly nave been destroyed but TO
fine advance notice which its owner
had been wise enough to heed.

CRY with a dense pelage of fine quilts.
Every caribou, indeed, wears a o

CT feature seems on the water rather

caribou, says a writer in Scribner's
Magazine.
Their speed afioat is SO great that 1t
takes the best of canoemen to overtake
a vigorous buck. A good paddler Is
| supposed to cover about six miles az
hour, so the caribou probably goes
five. There are many kinds of wood
land and rough country over which
tho caribou cannot travel SO fast as
this.
What wonder, then, that they are
so ready to take to the water as soon
as they find 1t in their course. Mr..
Mum assured me that several times
he saw caribou swim a broad bay thai
was in their line, though a trifing de-
lection would have given them easy
walking along the shore to The same
