General Breakdown Caused by Dsn-
cient Blood Quickly Corrected BY
This Tonic Remedy.

A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time 60 feel better
soon. This il a mistake, for every ono
of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment Is necessary and for this
purpose there IL no better remedy than
DR.. williams Pink Pills.

SAHARA GROWING DRYER.
French Observer Says the Gases Are
Shrinking and Will Disappear.

G. r Gautier. a French explorer, Is
authority for the statement that the
Sahara is continuously becoming drier
to such an extent that the GASES are
perceptbly drying up and will disap-
pear altogether in relatively short
time He quotes historic records and
physical signs 20 show that springs
were at one time more plentiful than
now, and that the extent of the
patches where vegetation flourishes
were much greater even 50 to 100
years ago.
As the climate of the region has uD-
dergone no change in perhaps thou
sands of years. he believes that the
disappearance of the water must be
due to purely mechanical causes. He
considers that 1t is due TO the con.
tinual advance of the great sand
masses to the north, thus forming an
impenetrable barrier against the wa
tershed of the Atlas mountains N Y

The New Orleans PIcayune of
Sunday, April 20. says:
The growth of Winfield during
the past four years has been
remarkable. From a village of
scarcely 800 inhabitants four
years ago, WINFIELD to-day has
a population of nearly $500
souls. Judging from the great
railroad activity in this vicinity
the future of Winfield IS well
assured, and it is safe to predict
that the town will more than
double its population in the next
five years.
Winfield, the county seat of
VIM Parish, is situated in one
of the best timber sections of
Louisiana. The railroads enter
ing the town at present are: The
Louisiana Railway and Naviga-
ton Company, the Louisiana and
Arkansas, and the Arkansas
Southern, or the Rock Island,
which road will soon have the
bridge completed across the
Ouachita River, and will then
run trains from st. Louis and
Kansas City to Winfield. and
south over the new Eunice
branch, where connections will
be made with the Frisco.

cost of $4,000. The present
Mayor of Winfield is the Hon.
G. M. Bevill, under whose adj
minlstration the city Is fast
forging to the front.

Sulphur Timber and Lumber
Company, and the plant of the

Dalton-Clark Stave Company.
A new planning mill will shortly
be erected by the Seldom and
Wright Planning Mill Company,
which company is capitalized at
s25, 900.
A new forty-ton Ice plant has
just recently been completed at
a cost of $4,000, and will be in
operation within the next few
days, thus enabling the citizens
to patronize home industry.
The rapid growth of Winfield
is due in large measure to the
Winfield Progressive League,
whose officers have worked in
cessantly for the upbuilding of
1.-THE town. The officers OF the
League are as follows: DR.. /. E.
Isles, President; M. G. Bagwell,
Vice President, and J. ID. Pace.
Secretary, whose untlring energy
has accomplished much for Winn-
field. Ii fact whenever there is
i progressive movement of any
kind, Mr.. Pace is ever ready to
lend his energy in that direction.
Mr.. Pace Is having a railroad
built from Winfield to the oil
field, . distance of three and
one-half miles. which it is under
lstood will be completed by
| August. The name of the road
Lis the Winfield Oil Well Railway.
Mr.. Pace proposes to build an
up-to-date hathhouse at the
terminal of the road, where there
is a splendid flow of salt water
from one of the old oil wells.
The building will cost $500.
3 There will be two swimming
pools twenty-five BY fifty feet,
!, and ten bath rooms on each side
and arrangements will be made
. for hot and cold water. The
place will be made as attractive
} as possible, and will be for the
j. convenience of the public in both
winter and summer.

; tons that are in evidence.

3 have been indications of oil in

There is a movement on foot
to organize a Winn Parish Far
Association for the purpose of
having a parish fair each year in
Winfield. The farmers are very
much interested in the propo-
sition, and it is more than likely
that a permanent fair association
will be organized, which will, no
doubt, be stimulant to the
farming industry in this vicinity.
The test of a town is its finan-
cial pulse. In the Bank of Winn-
field. capitalized at $4,000, and
the Winn Parish Bank with
$4,000 capital, the growing city
of Winfield is amply supplied
with banking facilities. The

Parish Bank is M. M. Fisher.

GOING AFTER THE PRIZE
Sumter Light Infantry Drilling for
the SIOO at EufauIa.

There is 500 prize offered at the
Eufaula Chautauqua for the best drilled
military company of twenty four men
taking part in its exercises on its
military day.
Americus is going after that prize
and expects to bring back the scalp
attached to it's belt as the trophy OF
1907.
The men are drilling every other
night for that purpose. They are go
ing to Eufaula to illustrate and adver-
tise Americus. A little later on they
expect to drill every night except
Saturday. They are in earnest about
the matter and from the way they are
improving in the manual of arms and
in the marching tactics the companies
that go up against them on the drill
field will have to be Cracker jacks" to
win out.
1t is probable that quite number OF
Americus folks will go over to Eufaula
on military day there. Next to the
Albany chautauqua thel Eufaula affair
is the most popular in this section.

THIRD OF A FRUIT CROP.
Railway Officials Think this Estimate Very Near the
Mark.
Mark.

From official statistics gathered by
railway officials every indication is
that the peach crop of 1907 will be
about one-third what it was last year,
the recent cold weather injuring the
crop to such an extent that in many
Vicinities the crop will be less than 10
per cent of that of last year.
Industrial Agent Mallory of the
Central of Georgia, which traverses the
principal peach growing districts of the
state, spent yesterday at Fort Valley
and other central points in the peach
belt for the purpose of making per-
sonal inspection of the damage done by
the recent freeze.
The damage to the peach crop does
not seem to be general, but is rather
confined to certain districts. Mr.. NAL
lory believes that while the report that
the crop was completely destroyed in
certain districts was a mistake the
damage was very severe in some Sec
tions.
The effect of the freeze in the vicinity
of Fort Valley and Marshallville will
be that the peaches will be of the alb
normal size, with splitting kernels and
in most cases 1opsided.

ask t. commissioners to give a small

AMATEUR BALL IN AMER|CUS
Plans Suggested for the Organization of Good Local
Team.

Americus may have some first class
amateur base ball this season, after
all. If the plans bing laid by Mr.. T.
l.. Bell go through, and there is much
likelihood THAT they will, Americus
may be one of four towns constituting
an amateur league, to play series of
weekly games during the summer.
MIR. Bells idea is for Americas,
Cordele, Albany and Montezuma to
form a league.
These towns are so located, and
with such railroad schedules, that it
will he possible for the teams to meet,
play ball, and return home the same
night, taking only a half day away
from their business occupations.
With no long trips, and such a little
loss of time, it is believed a league can
be easily perfected. While it will not
give as much ball as many would like
to have it will give at least an occa-
sional good game between teams hav-
ing local rivalries to stimulate them
to put out their best efforts.
1t would be far more interesting
ball than professionals put up, in some
respects, as there would be the ele-
ment of personal interest that never
attaches TO team made up of hired
