The Journal, published at Stafford,
reports that the Archise Copper COM
pany, operating in the Lone Star
district, only a short distance from
Stafford, has recently made strike
that promises to be of some benefit
to stockholders. At d distance of
$50 in tunnel being driven, the
miners discovered a 6-foot vein of
low grade copper ore that is expected
to give handsome gold and silver as
says. j. E. Carpenter, manager of
property, made a hurry trip to the
mines to investigate and announced
that he was more than we'll pleased
with appearances. Arrangements are
being made for 6-inch air pipe to
properly ventilate the tunnel Oper-
ations have been going on at this
property for some time and it will be
gratifying to the manager to be able
to report that he has at last met
with much encouragement.

Former Citizen of AmeriCuS
Dead.

Mr.. Orin C. Willis, formerly of
Americus, but for the past two
months a resident of Knoxville, Tenn,
died there yesterday morning of
pneumonia after brief illness. Mr..
Willis was well known in Americus

here. For some time he was con-
nected with the fire department, but
two months ago went to Knoxville to
take a railway position. He was
about twenty-five years of age and
unmarried. During his illness in
Knoxville members of the Order of
Eagles, to which he belonged, ad-

former home at Doerun, for inter-
ment. Chief Macarthur of the Am
ericus department, will join the fun
eral party upon arrival here.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING
A Multitude of Buyers in
the City.

II was expected that the final Sat
urday preceding the Christmas holi-

buyers, but the uncounted thousands

trix. Every train arriving here dur
ing the day came crowded to the
platform, the / 80 Central train from
Columbus bringing a perfect stream
of dollar laden humanity as did the
morning SeabeGrd from Cordele and
Helena. Every country road leading
to Americus was filled with cotton
wagons coming this way, and the
sale of the bales meant something for
Santa. The retail stores we're crowd
ed throughout the day, and business
was at the flood tide, despite the
fierce weather There are yet two
days for holiday shopping, and AM
mericus merchants hope only for
