PLENTY IN THE PATCH
IN WAY OF GREENS
Dinner Is An Easy Subject
Here Now.

In Americus a vegetable dinner
topped off with blackberry pie or
plum dessert is a matter of few
cents only While meat eaters are
worrying over the top notch prices
at which beef is ranging yegetarians
are enjoying the best of everything
green in Americus just now and at
prices that are lower than have been
known on the local market this early
in the season for many years. Beans,
cucumbers, squash, beets, turnips,
carrots, radishes and onions are
on the market from the local grow
ers now in almost endless quantity
Beans are so plentiful that while they
are priced at > cents quart they
can even be purchased in some in
stances at from two and three quarts
for cents. Roasting ears are plen-
tiful at 10 cents to Is cents per
dozen. The people of Americus are
still eating shipped tomatoes, but
the local crop is a fine one and will
soon be in market

CENTRAL WAS SUED BY
COMP ANY IN AMERICUS
Damages Are Demanded In
Large Amount

The suit brought by the Americus
Construction Co.. against the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway, complaint
for damages, occupied nearly the
entire time in superior court yester-
day. The suit is the result of a fresh
ct here several years ago, wherein the
lumber yards of the plaintiff COM
pany were flooded and a quantity of
lumber lost The lumber yards are
contiguous to the Railway tracks of
the Central, and the creek flowing
near the said yards passes beneath
the railway tracks through a Gull
vert. The allegation of the plaintiff
company is that the culvert con-
structed by the Central Railway, was
not of sufficient size to admit of the
passage of the flood of water, which
backed into the lumber yards with
resulting loss and damages to the
company The amount of damages
sought to be recovered is about $500
Messrs r. A. Hawkins and ]. B. Hud-
son represent the railway company,
while Messrs. Shipp & Sheppard rep
resent the plaintiffs.

Now what has happened to change
this tide back to the governor? He
would have us believe that his many
speeches have converted thousands
of voters back to him who had grown
tired Of his administration. Now
maybe this is true and maybe it isn't.
The governor came to Statesboro and,
reports have it, made one of the
greatest efforts of his life to turn
the tide" He appealed to our people
in every conceivable manner; told
them he would not be satisfied if he
got $4,000 majority in the state and
lost Bulloch.
Now if there is single convert to
his cause in Bulloch by reason of
that speech stand on your head until

Nature and WOman'S work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
'' Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women l am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer.
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what | suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago | wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
pound and Mrs. Pinlham's advice re.
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege.
table Compound did for Mrs. Mutf
it viii do for other suffering women.

FIRST GAR Is SHIPPED
TEN DAYS IN ADVANCE
Peaches Will Be MOvirQ
Rapidly Soon.

The first carload of Georgia peach
es reached New York yesterday even
ing and is fully ten days ahead of the
first carload shipped last season
This first car left Marshallville Sat
urday night, reached New York las
evening. While the fruit is thus
early, it showed up in splendid con.
.dition, its flavor being as good as
if it were mid-season. This speaks
well for the crop this year. The
regular movement will not be taken
up for about week, as the growers
do not expect to have another cal
ready before then When it does
start the movement will be an unus-
ually heavy one.

A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Must Have Luxurlant and Glossy Hair,
No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of a female face, the
sweetest smile of female mouth, loses
something if the head is crowned with
scant hair Scant and falling hair it is
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
lie 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.
Newbros Herpicide, an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory. destroys
the dandruf germ and, of course, stops
the falling hair, and prevents badness.

LEADERS CLOSER.
Giants Now Lead by Only Two Points
 No Change in American.

For an off day in baseball the few games that were played yesterday were of vast importance to the pen nant chances of the three leading clubs in the National league race. New York played two games in Phila- delpha, and was only able to get an even break, while Chicago defeated the Cincinnati team at the latter 8 home grounds. The results of these games caused the New Yorks to fall back two points in their percentage and the Chicago club to draw two points closer to New York. This leaves Chicago and Plttsburg tied for second place with New York leading by the narrow margin of two points.
 Only the second division teams of the American league played yesterday, the leading teams being on the road. This leaves the standing of the lead CTS as 1t was after Wednesdays s games.
