Mr.. Frank Wilson, prominent mill
man living near Americas and brother
of Representative Jarrett j. Wilson, is
at the Americas Hospital as the result
of most peculiar accident which may
cost him an arm, although hope is ex-
pressed that amputation will not be
necessary. While driving in his buggy
Mr.. Wilson shot and wounded crow,
throwing the bird in the bottom of his
buggy. Mr.. Wilson'S gun was still
cooked, a fact he had not noticed, and
as the wounded crow tossed about in
the buggy the tip of its wing struck the
trigger, firing the gun. The entire
charge struck Mr.. Wilson in the right
arm, tearing away the flesh but not
breaking the bone. He was brought
as soon as possible to the hospital here,
where his wound is receiving the very
best attention. The accident is one of
the most peculiar ever reported here.

PARsIFAL ON THURSDAY NIGHT
Am CIRCUS Will Witness This Greatest
OF Dramas.

''Parsifal'' is rightly called a
mystery drama, because it illus
trates, by means of allegory and symbol
the secret of redeeming love. Yet al
though correctly named mystery
it is in no sense the same as understood
by this name as applied to the early
mystery plays of the Christian
church. In those plays, devoid of
scenic embellishments, and even of
appropriate costuming, the action was
stilted and the players seemed merely
to chant with monotonous articula-
ton whatever dialogue was contained
in the text. This method served the
purpose of the time, but it would now
serve only as reminder of the methods
pertaining to the drama of those days
and would simply be appreciated as
such. ''Parsifal,' on the contrary,
while still being a mystery play, is
redolent with life and color, natural
and spirited in action, and in every
paticuIar much the same as the better
class of the drama of the day. 1t is this
harmonious ombination, combined
with the beautiful story of the play it.
self, that renders ''Parsifal'' the ire
sistible and absorbing spectacle that
has made it famous throughout the
world.

MARRIAGE ON SUNDAY EVENING
Miss Tompkins and MIR. Harris Are
Thus United.

At o'clock Sunday evening, at the
residence of the brides parents, Mr..
and Mrs. w. j. Tompkins, on Brannon
avenue, Miss Bessie Tompkins and
Mr.. James Harris were united in mar
riage, Rev. j. P. Wardlaw receiving
the VOWS of the handsome young couple.
The marriage was in the nature of a
surprise to the many friends of Miss
Tompkins and Mr.. Harris, so well had
their secret been kept, but the congratu-
lations yesterday was none the less
numerous or sincere. The bride is a
pretty and charming young lady, a
grand daughter of Hon. John V. Price
a pioneer citizen of Americas, and is
admired by all for her charms and
many graces. Mr.. Harris is well
know and popular young business man
of this city and esteemed among all.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris are now 'at home"
at the Allen House.

PRICE UPON HIS LIFE IS FIXED
Sad Picture Is Witnessed Here in
Americus.

A scene calculated to stir the emo
cast iron dummy was presented on
Cotton avenue yesterday, eVidencing
as it did the ingratitude of man.
Anchored to post, and in peaceful
slumber oblivious of the jeers of the
mob, leaned a mule whose age. like
that of an antique maid, was an uL-
known quantity. The mule, per Sc,
would hove attracted little attention
but for huge banner waving from his
hurricane deck upon which was embla-
zoned the legend Your mule for $780,"
This was the straw that broke the
camel's back, figuratively speaking,
and likewise developed a fracture in
the vertebrae of the silent sufferer.
Doubtless the faithful animal had borne
his master in safety through the Civil
enemy, had been a harbinger of
peace in the cotton patch since 1865.
Now in his old age, when his nimble
heels have lost their cunning and dead
ly accuracy and his voice is not as res
onant as when Sherman came to Geor-
gia, he is turned from the roof-tree of
the farm and, with attenuated hide
screening his bonetical interior, exhib-
tied in the market place at paltry
price. Poor patient, silent, unobtrusive
orphan; hard indeed is cruel fate.

The Americas public schools reached

lack of room. 1t was the opening of
the schools after the holidays, and not
only did all the former pupils report
for duty but thirty or forty new ones
as well. Alro a1y the schools were
filled to the capacity point and, regret
full though it was, Supt. Miller was
compelled to deny the new applicants
admission. Already the attendance is
the largest in the history of Americas
public school system and reflects un-
mistakably the city's rapid growth.
TIE city authorities are now confronted
with the problem of providing other
school buildings, as the city's educa-
tional facilities must be adequate to
the rapidly increasing demands.

grip, unless he has had the actual ex-

tai agony, or which so successfully de-
fies medical aid. All danger from the

The finest contour of a female face, the

now known, is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root Of the
hair, where it saps the vitality. The lit
tie white scales the germ throws up in
burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.
