FOR ITS NEW FINE BUILDING

Have you been importuned, on the
streets, in your Office, or at your home,
for penny, by some bright faced ur-
chin with long strip of paper in his
hand?
If you have been you have met one
OF the advance agents of the Y. NJ. c. A.
building, one of the boys or girls who
expects to be instrumental in furnish
ing the 9,000 bricks, more or less, that
the penny fund is expected to buy for
that structure.
Hundreds of school children have
been supplied with the MANILA paper
strips on which they are to paste the
foot of pennies they secure. But ex-
aminatiOns in the schools have kept
them too busy to put in much time on
the collection. After tomorrow, when
will be turned loose on the commune
ty. When they get through it will be
hard matter to find penny in Amer
| lcus. This city will be swept as clean
of copper coins as middle Georgia was
Of supplies after Sherman's army
| passed.
The revised plans for the building
have not yet been received. The arch
itect submitted drawings few days
| ago showing three story front and Il
two story rear. This was decided not
to be the thing for Americus and it was
decided TO have drawings made for a
three story building with a seventy
foot frontage.
1t is expected to arrange in the plans
for swimming pool and a bowling
alley. 1t may not be possible to put
these in right away, but by providing
the space for them they can be added
to the working apparatus of the asso-
citation later on when the funds are in
hand.
1t is believed that these two features
would be instrumental in largely in
creasing the membership of the asso-
ciation. If the ladies show sufficient
interest day could be set aside for
bowling and swimming by them.
A roll of honor has been established
of all the children who raise nine feet,
or over, ofpennies. Two names have
already been placed upon it, those of
Marion Kelly land Inez Cartrel, each
of whom has turned in nine of the slips
filled with coins.

with last year, and in few days ex-
poets to have full data as to how the
crop, as planted, will compare with
those of former years.
The information is secured by Mr..
Estes through the different agents of
the road, who are instructed to as
certain, as nearly as possible, every
acre of ground in their immediate ter
ritory that will be planted in either
watermelons or eanteloupes.
Industrial Agent Mallory of the Cen
tral says there an inclination among
the planters to pay more attention to
the cultivation of cantaloupes as, with
good season, they are much more
profitable than watermelons. 1t is i'm
possible to say now whether there will

The Story of a Medicine.

It's name-oGolden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one OF its most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use OF pure,
triple-refned glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree Of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed wGolden Medical Discovery" for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or bilionsnesS and
kindred arrangements was nrst MADE. as
it ever since has been, Without partlcle
of alcohol in its makeup.
A glance at the full list of its ingredi-
ents. printed on every bottle-Wrapper,
will show that it is made from the most
valuable medicinal roots found growing
in our American forests. All these IN
0redients have received the strongest en-
dorsement from the leading medical eX-
merits, teachers and writers on MdtertG
Medicn who recommend them as the very
hest remedies for the diseases for which
aGolden Medical Discovery" is advised.
A little book of these endorsements has

anv one asking same by postal card, or
letter addressed to the Doctor as above.
From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books OF all the differ
emit schools of practice, it viii be found
that the ingredients composing the Gold
en- Medical Discovery" are advised not
only for the cure of the above mentioned
diseases, but also for the cure of all ca
tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarseness, sore throat, lingering. or
hang-on- coughs. and all those wasting
affections which, if not promptly and
properly treated are liable to terminate
In consumption. Take DR.. Pierce's Dis
covery in time and persevere in its use
/ until you give it fair trial and it is not
! likely to disappoint. Too much must not
I be expected of it. 1t viii not perform

BREAD AND MEAT ALIKE
NOW SOAR IN PRICE
Everything For Table Is
Higher.
ALL SUPPLIES ARE ADVANCING
And House Keepers Are Faced With
aPrOblemin Suppling The Table
"A General Advance All
Along The Line.
ALL SUPPLIES ARE ADVANCING

People who eat, ,or rather those whose
misfortune it is to have to supply the
table commodities, are decidedly up
against it both as to quantity and the
high prices demanded for everything
from ''ye staff of Iife'' to the dainties
and delicacies of the dessert.
Any Americus woman will sub
stantiate the narrowing truth of this
plain statement of facts
There is little to be had i'll first place,
while the continued advance in prices
of everything for the table, from salt to
sugar, is calculated to put all but mil
liOnaires out of business
Hams, flour, lard, sugar-in fact,
everything is up and going higher.
| In years agone it was possible to buy
chickens in Americus, but now they
are Just about as plentiful as hundred
dollar bills in collection plate. Even
hens retired upon pension, and whose
flesh would turn the teeth of man, can
not be had here longer.
| Commodities most used in this sec
| ton are bacon, hams, lard, butter
| cheese, eggs, fresh meats, -four
vegetables, e1c., and in every instance,
with the possible exception of -four,
the advance, which has been steady,
held up during March.
''It will be hard matter to convince
people that there has been a decline IN
the commodity market said well
known retailer.
Even canned goods have advanced,
and canned horse and dessicated
mule are flying as high as canned
chicken and canned turkey. Butter,
eggs and all produce are higher than
ever before, and at times the local
market is quite bare of all.
The theory that two can live as
cheaply as one" is all right in the fairy
book but it doesn't hold good at the
grocer's-not i'll Americus.

An Expert Pou!tryman Tells How Th:s
Can Be Done Successfully.

Fl. p. Rankin has the following words
of wisdom in the American Agricul
turist concerning the difficult problem
Of rearin. chicks designed especially
for Development into persistent layers:
When the chicks first come out Of the
shell. leave them in the Incubator til
the last hatched is twenty-four hours
Old then remove to Il broOder with Il
temperature OF SO degrees, the brO0Ger
floor being first covered with Il thin
layer of sand and one inch of cut 81
falfa. and give grit and water two
hours before feeding. l feed Il d.y
grain chick food containing 20 per
cent chick grit and per cent small
granulated charcoal. The brooder is
cleaned every day by Sitting sand
through 4 cornmeal sieve Beef scraps
are kept before them after they are
four days Old. This IS their feed till
they are six weeks old, when they are
given free range and are fed but three
times Il day. corn being mixed with
their food. one part cracked corn, one
part wheat, three parts ground oats i'll
bulk with fine meal sifted out | al
ways feed in litter to keep them
busy.
When they are four months old,
feed one part corn, one part wheat,
one part barley and two parts oats
three times 4 day with coarser char
coal il the same proportion or fed in
h0rpers always before them. At five
months old l begin feeding one part
corn. one part wheat. one part barley
and two parts oats three times day
With coarser charcoal in the same pro-
portion. or fed in hoppers always be-
fore them, with green stuff OF some
sort always near. Steamed cut alfalfa
and cabbage are best in winter. In
rearing laying chickens it is most i'm
portant to keep them growing all the
time and always busy Nothing ever
has been or Will be profitable brought
up in id!cness.
BY following the above regimen and
attending to proper cleaning of the
