SEC. PRUITT GIVEN
FEW FREIGHT BILLS
Merchants Presumably
Have Little Trouble.

Americus merchants have so far
not availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity offered them by the Board of
Trade to have their freight bills check
ed and see if there are overcharges
or wrong classifications.
1t will be recalled that at the last
meeting of the Board of Trade Sec
retary Pruitt proposed, and his sug-
gestion was adopted, to check all
freight bills sent to him by members
of the Board of Trade and return them
with a statement of such facts as
were brought out by his investiga-
ton. Being an old railroad employe
and conversant with such bills, Sec
retary Pruitt was in position to give
efficient and valuable service in this
connection.
Up to date it appears that but one
merchant has sent bills to the secre-
tary for examination. This would in
dicate either that the merchants have
forgotten the matter or are satisfied
that there have been no mistakes
in their freight accounts.
Secretary Pruitt still stands ready
to examine all bills sent to him with
out cost to the merchant and advise
as to whether they are accurate or
otherwise.

PHARMACY WILL
BE REMODEL
Iron Ceiling and Tile Floor
In the Plan.

Another beautiful store will be ad-
ded to the number now in Americus
when spring comes. This time it is
another pharmacy that is to be
renovated and improved, and made
an ornament to the business section
of the city
The large store at Forsyth and
Windsor streets, occupied by Mr..
Frank McLaughlins pharmacy, is to
be thoroughly overhauled early in
the spring by the owner of the pro-
perty, Mr.. N. G. Miller. A steel cell
ing will be put in, tile floor laid,
the walls painted, a partition put in
separating the main store from the
prescription department and the in
terror otherwise improved The fix
lures are also to be done over, so
that the store will have the effect of
an entirely new place when the con-
tracts are finished
No town of it's size in the state has
so many improvements in store pro-
perties in a few months as Americus
has, and the coming spring and sum-
mer bids fair to find several other
buildings entirely renovated

CONDUCTOR HAS TAKEN
FAIR LIFE PASSENGER
Wedding in Macon Roman
tic One.

Americus is interested in ro-
mantle marriage taking place a day
or two since in Macon, the groom,
Mr.. George Brooks, being a resident
of Americus while his pretty bride, a
school pupil in the musical depart
ment Of Wesleyan College, was Miss
Ella Mclaughlin of Kings Mountain,
N. c. Miss Mclaughlin, while pur-
suing her studies, resided with her
aunt, Mrs. Sigmund, on Second street.
A morning or two ago she left home
for Wesleyan College, but instead
was met upon the way by Mr.. Brooks
and an agreement reached to have
their marriage solemnized at once.
The young couple then drove to the
residence of Rev. Walton Galloway,
also former Americus man, where
the nuptial knot was tied. Mr. and
Mrs. Brooks then left for Savannah
to spend several days before return
ing to Americus to reside and where
he holds position with the Sea-
board Railway Another interesting
feature in the romantic affair is the
fact that another Americus young
man now residing in Macon was said
to be smitten with the charms of the
young lady, although it seems his
ardor was not reciprocated.
