NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From erie

The 6fr1cken Rose FROM GR1eKS
What a fortunate provision of nature
it is that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be it's
grief to discover, in the height of its
blooming glory, that canker fed at its
heart, and that it's beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women, but thanks to the in
designations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows into
the hair follic1es. Newbro's Herpicide
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as ma
ture intended. Sold by leading drug
gists. Send 10c. in stamps for sample

OF A BANK BUILDING
At EIIaViIIe is Determined Upon BY
Bank Here.

The Bank of Southwestern Georgia,
which for q long number of years has
maintained an agency bank at Ella
vile under the excellent management
of Mr.. j. a. Walters, has determined
to erect handsome building there for
the conduct of its business.
This conclusion was fully reached
yesterday morning when a number of
the banks officers went up to EllsYille
and looked over the field carefully, re-
turning to AmerIcus at noon.
In the party were President A. W.
Smith, Vlce~President G. III. EIdridge,
and Messrs, W. A. Dodson, r. J. Per-
ry, G. L. Ansley and Henry r. John
son of the board of directors. A COM
mittee of citizens met the visitors.
And the fact that the bank is to erect
a handsome building is subject of
congratulation among all.
The building will be of brick or
manufactured stone, and will be given
a new equipment throughout includ-
ing an electric burglar alarm system
such as that recently installed here,
In all its appointments the bank will
be entirely new and up-to-date.
As the busy season Of the year is
now at hand it will be some time, per-
haps, ere the erection of the new bank
building is begun,
The establishment of this agency
bank at Ellaville many years ago hs:
been a very strong factor in the com.
mercial development of the town and
added materially in all its business
interests. This has been particularly
true of the cotton trade.
The Bank of Southwestern Georges
is ever progressive, and at the same
time conservative, and is to be con
graduated upon this latest stroke o.
excellent business enterprise.

Board
George Bundrick, the Crisp county
prisoner and one of the two white men
confined in the Americus jail, is very
hopeful of the result of the appeal of
his case recently to the Prison Com
mission. As is well known, Mr.. Bun
drick is under sentence of death for
the murder of John Shrouder, another
citizen of his county, some ago. Re-
Gently the Supreme court passed upon
his case and sustained the sentence
imposed IN the lower court. Several
days ago the case was appealed to the
Prison Commission, where it is still
pending. The appeal for clemency lie
backed by numerously signed petit
ton of citizens of Crisp county, and
Mr.. Bundrick hopes that he may yet
escape the gallows.
