aid possible to further the project.

people complain of the scorching sun
how 1t beats down upon the heads
of those who will journey to the rest

cem.tery. They unite in saying they
would oftener visit the place were 1t

STORY OF GRATITUDE

1t is one thing to read about graft
tude being paid with principal and
interest and another question to
meet the real thing face to face.
Many moons ago CAPTAIN George
Bartlett needed the pleadings of a
young man who came to his door,
to ask for assistance to reach Allan
tic City. The Captain handed the
chap q dollar and soon forgot the
incident. Quite recently the good
hearted old seamen received an en-
velope from the post office; enclosed
therein was S. bill. No signature
was attached to the brief note OF ex-
PLANTATION. On the paper was writ
ten: Take this bill, it is principal
and interest on the one dollar which
you gave q poor young man years
ago."

MONSTER PROGRAM
IO Be CIRCULATED

1t is doubtful whether this old
town has ever seen a program ior
an entertainment as large as the one
promoted by Mr.. Robert L. Race in
aid of the "piano fund" entertain
ment, to be he'd In Red Mems Hall,
on Monday evening, May 9th. The
program is not the only big thing
connected with this show; to clinch
his assertion one needs but to ask
of the young folks on the streets the
cause OF their tired appearance; they
will invariably tell you that the rings
around their eyes, and the drawn
OF their faces are due to
)vertime spent at rehearsals under
the direction ef Mr.. and Mrs. Race
and other able assistants. The COM
plainants are easy kickers; they
should not mind the extra work; but
let them complain, their auditors on
the 9th will be the gamers. Are
you going?

OPPOSITION O THE
SHORE boulevard

Editor Press: The Boulevard scheme
is again being agitated and de-
mands the attention of our citizens.
It would be of the greatest value to
PIeasantville, especially to those who
are fortunate enough to own land
through which this magnificent high
way will run. New stores will BE-
erected, and beside attracting all the
driving, 1t will cause the Shore Road
to be relegated to the status OF
back street. Ofcourse, we grant that
a comparative few who have had the
forethought to purchase what then
appeared to be scrub and undesirable
land, Will be at first the beneficiaries,
but the business of the town will be
on the bustling busy thOroughfare.

GEORGIA MAYORS HAVE ADJOURNED
Next Annual Session to Be Held in
Albany.

In Americus yesterday were the
chief executives of a half dozen South
Georgia cities, returning home from
the annual meeting of the State
League of municipalities, held this
week at Athens. Unfor rtunately,
Americus was not repl esented at this
very representative gathering, as our
several conncils have always declined
to have Americus join it. The next
annual meeting will be held in AL
bany, which was well represented at
the Athens meeting. The following
officers were selected: President, j.
A. Sims, of Richland, first vice presi-
dent, H. V. Coward, of Dalton; second
vice president, John w. Maddox, of
Rome; third vice President, j. D..
Monk, of Moultrie; fourth vice presi-
dent. T. H. Fisher. of Fort Valley
secretary and treasurer, Bridges Smith
of Macon, elected for life. A strong
address on immigration was made by
John A. Betjeman.

What Do They Cure?

The above question is often asked con-
corning DR.. Pierce's two leading medi-
cines, "Golden Medical Discovery and
"Favorite Prescription"
The answer Is that "Golden Medical
Discovery is most potent Alternative or
blood-purifer, and tonic or invigorator
and acts especially favorably in cura-
tive Way upon all the mucous lining sur
faces, as of the nasal passages, throat,
bronchial tubes, stomach, bowels and
bladder, curing large per cent. OF catar-
rhal cases whether the disease aHects the
nasal passages, the throat, larynx, bron-
CHA, stomach las catarrhal dyspepsia, },
bowels Gas mucous diarrhea), bladder,
uterus or other pelvic organs. Even In
the chronic or ulcerative stages OF these
affections, it is often successful in affect
ing cures.
for the cure of one class of diseaseS-thoSe
peculiar weaknesses, arrangements and
irregularities incident to women only. 1t
is a powerful yet gently acting invigorat-
ing tonic and nervine. For weak worn
out, over-worked wOmen--nO matter what
has caused the breakdown, "Favorite
Prescription will be found most effective
In building up the strength, regulating
the womanly functions, Subdulng pain
and bringing about healthy, vigorous
condition of the whole system.
A book of particulars wraps each bottle
giving the formula or DoGh medlclneS ana
quoting what scores of eminent med
ical authors, whose works are consulted
| by physicians of all the schools OF practice
as guides in prescribing, say of each in
gredient entering into these medicines.
The words of praise bestowed on the
several ingredients entering into Doctor
Pierce's medicines by such writers should
have more weight than any amount OF
non professional testimonials, because
such men are writing for the guidance OF
their medical brethren and know whereof
they speak.
Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non
secret, and contain no harmful habit
forming drugs, being composed of glyceriC
extracts of the roots of native, American
medicinal forest plants. They are both
sold by dealers in medicine. You can't

EXCELLENT ORDER is PRESERVED
And Memorial Exercises at Ander.
SOnViIIe Enjoyed.

The aftermath OF "Andersonville
Dav' from the Americus point of view,
was in pleasing contrast yesterday to
former occasions there. The memorial
exercises on Thursday were conducted
by the Fitzgerald army post. The
special train did not arrive until 11:15
a. M, which made the exercises at the
cemetery late. After strewing the
flowers on the graves of the union
dead, the address of the day was made
by Rev. Miller, of the Methodist Epis-
copal church of Fitzgerald, Ga. The
visitors of Columbus, Ohio, voted the
Memorial day at Andersonville a
success. While the crowd this year
has not been as large as in previous
years, it was crowd that was orderly
and we'll behaved. Mrs. Eliza J. Crys-
ler, national patriotic instructor of the
w. r. c. of the United States, was also
present at the memorial services.

SLIGHT ADVANCE IN ENVELOPES.
Is Expected After Fiscal Year Closes
June 80.

Americus business houses using the
stamped envelopes may
haye to pay little more for them after
the close of the fiscal year June 30th.
This advance will not be very great,
running not more than five or ten
cents per thousand on the envelopes
usually sold here. It is not generally
known that any person ordering as
many as five hundred envelopes may
have his name and address, with a
request to return in a certain time,
printed in the upper left corner entire
ly without charge. This is done by
the postoffice department to encourage
the placing of the sender's address on
the outside of all letters so that in
case of non-d delivery, the letter can be
returned to writer without having to
go through the dead letter Office.

Yards, Streets and Alleys
Cleaned,
CONDITIONS HERE DEMAND IT.
Sanitary Officer Should Enforce to
the Letter the Regulations of
That Department-.-kiII Out
Germs of Fever.
CONDITIONS HERE DEMAND IT.

Now that the city council has gap
pointed sanitary inspector, who will
do duty throughout the summer season,
it would be well for the authorities to
order general and thorough cleaning
throughout the entire city.
This should be done, and without a
days delay.
Already the summer season is we'll
advanced but sanitary conditions have
probably been neglected to a greater or
less degree, hence an unusual amount
of sickness.
Every back yard-and some of the
front ones-in Americus should re
ceive a visit from Inspector Parrott
and put in such sanitary condition as
will insure good health in the COM
munity. And this should be done i'm
mediateIy.
If there are hog pens-the greatest
breeders of disease in the world-root
them out.
There is city ordinance against the
maintenance of hogpens in the city, or
the keeping of hogs upon ones premi-
ces. This ordinance should be rigidly
enforced.
There is perhaps no more sickness in
Amer1cus than in other cities of like
size, and the few cases of fever here are
probably due to the unprecedented
climatic conditions prevailing this
spring. Fever cases are general all
over the State.
But other forms of disease can be pre-
vented by the enforcement of sanitary
laws. And Americus needs to enforce
them.
