GOWNS WORTH A SUMTER FARM

Feminine Americus is reading with
aVldlty the thrilling story of the
trousseau of Miss Fish of New York.
VINO weds shortly, the complete har-
ness martingales crupper and all,
having just arrived from Paris. This
most wonderful ,trOusseau contains
wedding gown which alone cost $50, =
OOo, ON it are some of the rare old
laces worn in the coronation robes of
Empress Catherine of Russia. TIE
bridesmaids who will attend Miss Fish
at the altar have already received in
Vltatlons to view the trOusseau and now
every woman in high society is man
eu9ering for similar distinction.
While the figures $3.50, 900 are not
authoritative, experts who watched the
progress of making the remarkable
garments say that they could not be
duplicated for that sum. OF the six
teen gowns included in the trOusseau
ten cost in excess of $4,000 each. 1t
Is predicted that the bride will display
the most dazzling assortment of ball,
dinner, opera, street and carriage
gowns of any woman in society.

ATLANTA A BIG SEAPORT
Scheme Devised for Digging a Panama Canal to
The Capital.

as far it goes and then dig to Allan
ta. Locks will have to be put at CON
venient points on the river. This
would make it possible to run much
larger boats on the Oconee than at
present, and would make the Oconee
as easily and safely navigable as the
Savannah or the Chattahoochee.
The artist who has the matter in
hand is now gathering data in regard
to the Oconee and it may be that he
will commence active work soon in
carrying out his ideas. 1t will cost a
great sum of money, of course, to dig
the canal to Atlanta, but hardly as
much as the big ditch across Panama,
and it will be worth to Atlanta all that
it COSTS"
The plans include the construction of
an impregnable fortress on Decatur
street of sufficient strength to horn OFF
the Japanese fleet or any foreign foe
butting into the capital city.

IMITATION OF ODD FELLOWS
Increase in Cost is Probable After Next State
Meeting.

Sumter Lodge of odd Fellows is got
ting up what may be the last class of
ten to be admitted to odd Fellowship
in Americus under the reduced club
rate that has been in vogue for several
years past.
The club system was introduced
primarily to build up the order in the
country districts and smaller towns OF
the State. 1t was seized with ayidity
by the lodges in the cities as a means
of swelling their membership and in
many instances to the detriment of the
lodges, considerable undesirable class
beng admitted to mem bership through
the cheapenIng of the admission fees
and the carelessneSS OF the scrutinizing
committee.
The Americus Lodge, though, has put
through some very desirable members
i'll these clubs, and the club that is now
being organized will be no exception
in this respect. AS it may be the last
to be formed here it is probable that

AMERICUS TO UNITE IN
A TRIBUTE TO BRAVE.
Observance of Memorial
Day Here.
WILL SUSPEND ALL BUSINESS
Citizens Will Attend En- Mass The
Memorial Exercises at Cemetery
---Order of Exercises as Ar

WILL SUSPEND ALL BUSINESS

Americus Will pay fitting tribute
tomorrow to the Confederate dead, the
heroes living and the sacred cause for
which they vainiy struggled; and a
whole city will thus unite in this obser-
vance of the occasion, as has been done
for many long years

business in the city will be entirely
suspended that all may attend the ex
ercises at the cemetery.
There, in beautiful Oakgrove. six
hundred heroes of the Lost Cause are
sleeping, and tomorrow the green
mounds above them will be covered
with a profusion of flowers, while in
flights of oratory the story of their
heroic struggle will again be told.
Citizens, veterans, the military and
school children will thus participate.
The public schools, as usual, will be
given the holiday, and 700 school child
rem, bearing garlands, will take part in
the exercises.
The procession out to the cemetery

do so to place carriages at the disposal
of the society and the L. d. C. for the
speaker and others.
Despite the late spring and consequent
scarcity of flowers at this season. the
ladies will secure a quantity sufficient
for all purposes. The cemetery has
been put in perfect trim, and the
weather promises to be all that could
be desired Friday.
Hon. Herbert Grice of Hawkinsvllle,
the orator of the day, will be the guest
of Judge and Mrs. Robert l.. May

a number of years ago when Louis
Vile was the capital of the state, a
member of the assembly introduced a
bill declaring Louisville seaport town.
The bill failed to pass and Louisville
is still an inland city. SO is Atlanta,
but if the scheme of certain Albanian
matefializes, Atlanta will not be made
a seaport town, but will be brought in
close touch with the waves.
The scheme is nothing more nor less
than digging a canal to Atlanta from
some convenient point on the Oconee
and making it possible to run boats to
that city.
The Albanian who has figured and Is
figuring on the project states that he
has not discovered that there will be
any very difficult engineering prob
lens to overcome and that the plan
looks feasible to him.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it a sun bath to Sweeten it. She knows
that If her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
q churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are exactly akin to- the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil OF q foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption Of
the pure current of blood and the diSsem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
IT does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ole-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptionS scrofulous swellings,
sores. or open eating ulcers and all
bumors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
YOUR mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and despondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in Stom-
ach, conStipated or irregular DoWels, sour
or bitter riSingS after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid, or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical sci
ence for the cure of the above symptoms
and conditions, as atteSted by the writings
of leading teachers and practitioners Of
all the several schools of medical practice
have been skillfully and harmoniously
combined in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this is absolutely true
will be readily proven to yoqr satisfaction
to DR.. r. V. Pierce, Buffalo, n Y, for
q free copy of his booklet of extracts from
the standard medical authorities. giving
the names of all the ingredients entering
into his world-famed medicines and show
ing what the most eminent medical men
Of the age say of them.

Unless the subscription committee of

that $11, 900 of the $4,000 agreed upon
had already been raised and that the
balance was in sight. The agricultural
society, however, declined to issue
premium lists on such basis. The

People Who Put Off Buying Will

Yesterday brought the shoppers out,
both those of the city and those from

good weather, with rising tempera-

Trade is decidedly picking up

there will be more applications than
can be utilized.
The odd Fellow lodges of Savannah
are passing a resolution to be present
ed to the meeting of the grand lodge at
Columbus requesting that the plan of
initiating members at reduced rates by
the club plan be abandoned in cities.
Under the odd Fellows law any lodge
can initiate a man who joins with a
club of ten, for S., the usual fees being
$50. The country lodges have always
insisted upon this method of taking in
members. The Savannah lodges are
willing to have this done in the coun-
try, but they want it stopped in the
city lodges. They claim that it brings

The resolutions will probably have

tits hoped to get the cooperation of
other city lodges in this plan to do
