players from abroad.
Mr.. Bell is now organizing the
Americus team. Two mines, repres.
enting the S. A. L. shops and the city
of Americus will play two or three
games, and from these two teams the
club that wins the pennant for Ameri-
Gus will be selected.
There will be no trouble in getting
the necessary number of good players,
as there is ample fine material in
Americus to select from.
Mr.. Bells idea is to pay from the
gate receipts any loss player may
sustain by reason of absence from his
usual work for the afternoon. This
amount will be small, travelling expen-
ses would be light, and the club could
easily be made self supporting.
"A Arrangements are under way for the
game to be played here on May 10,
when the bankers meet in conference
at Americus. Mr.. Bell has written to
Montezuma to see if club from that
town will visit here for that day. If
not, then Albany will be requested to
send team over and demonstrate
what it can do ON the ball field against
the Americus Giants.

In Promoting The Marital interests of
the Bunch.

Americus has a colored "society"
one of Ill, more or less, and quite as
unique in itself as its methods are start
ling and deadly. This bunch of bru-
nettes, willows brett, is styled the
Sisterhood of Concatenated, Concen-
trated and Congealed Amalgamation of
Associated and Husbandless Help
meets, and its object is-Man. A few
days ago this society of man hunters
organized a picnic, to which only the
widowed members to the number of
fifteen and a like number of single
harness trotters of the buck variety
held cards. The picnic was a success,
and two husbands were neatly bagged
ere the setting OF another sun. The re-
naming thirteen, thus encouraged, are
hustling as never before, and the
society will likely go out of business by
j June 1st for lack of eligible members.

A RARE TREAT FOR
MUSIC LOVERS.
Evening of Song at Studio
of Miss Bell.
RECITAL BY JAMtS 0, BOONE.
Program for TOnight'S Entertainment
is Varied and Will Make 1t a
Most Delightful Event for
AIT Lovers of Music.
RECITAL BY JAMES 0, BOONE.

Lovers of good music are looking
forward with intense interest to the
recital tonight at the studio of Miss
Bell. The program, published in the
Times Recorder yesterday, has whet-
ted the musical appetite of the city,
and large audience, representing the
culture of Americus, will greet Mr..
James o. Boone, the artist of the
evening.
The program is a varied one, the
singer is a man of high reputation,
and the entertainment promises to be
one of the most satisfactory in every
respect that has been given in Ameri-
Gus for some time.
Speaking of Mr.. Boone's recent ap-
pearance in that city the Tampa Florida
Times say:
cone year ago Mr.. James O. Boone,
delighted Tampa audience with his
singing, but last evening there was
of the Elks' club that was not COM
pletely captivated. Mr.. Boone's voice
has improved during the past twelve
months more than his Tampa ad
mirers thought possible. His softl
almost whispered, tones of penetrating
sweetness are Incompatible, but none
the less enjoyed was the rich swelling
of the voice as demonstrated in the
martial strains of his first song, 1.-TWO
Grenadiers," ''When Love is Cone"
Little Dutch Garden Just
Wearin' for You," ooh That We Two
Were Maying." my Dreams" and
"Mother O. Mine,'' were all received
with warm applause. With Mr..
Boone's rendition ''Lilies Are Bloom
ing for You, Tampa for the first time
had the pleasure of hearing this piece,
which was written and composed by
Miss Josie Smith. 1t has sweet,
tunefuI melody that is sure to make it
popular. By request Mr.. Boone sang
"Dearie," and into this, which is one
of the songs that he has been re-
membered by since last years con-
cert, he put renewed feeling and
beauty. His chef d'ouvre was the
sycle ofVon Fielitz, whose tragically
sad love story of the monk and the
nun, Irmingard, gave the voice free
play throughout the whole gamut of
the emotions

That our American forests abound in
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness of many native plants before the
advent of the white race, This informa-
ton, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

DR.. Pierce believes that our American for

and, in confirmation of this conviction, he
points with pride to the almost marvellous
cures effected by his "Golden Medical Dis
covery," which has proven itself to be the
most efficient stomach tonic, liver invigor-
ator, heart tonic and regulator, and blood
cleanser known to medical science. Dyspep-
sia, or indigestion. torpid liver, functional
and even valvular and other affections OF
the heart yield to it's curative action The
reason tUIly it cures these and many other
