The Leech a Weather Prophet.

prophet. If the weather is to con-
tinue fine the leech lies motionless at
the bottom Of the vial and rolled to-

be rain, either before Or after noon,
it is found to have crept up to the
top of its lodging, and there it re-
mains until the weather is settled.

MORE MONEY SURE FOR
FEDERAL BUILDING
Congressman Lewis has
Been Successful.

Col. w. A. Dodson returned yester-
day morning from Washington and
Eastern cities. While in the National
Capital Col Dodson had a conference
with Congressman E. B. Lewis on
the subject of an increased appropria-
ton for the new Federal building
for Americus.
Congressman Lewis stated that there
was no doubt of an additional apprO-
priation and that the same would
surely be approved in the pending
appropriation bill. This assures a
building for Americus commensurate
with the Importance of the city.
Americus has asked for $4,000 for
the building to be added to the
sum which remains from the first
appropriation, after purchasing the
site
AS the Interior department had
been notified that additional money
would be asked for the building, the
plans have been held in allegiance. AS
soon as the size of the present ap-
preparation can be ascertained the
plans will be drawn, based on the
total sum available
The building is to be erected on
Lamar street, facing the artesian WELL
the land having already been purchas-
ed

JOE BROWN SAID TO
i BE "RUNNING SOME
AmericuS Official Smpris-

In South Georgia the reports are
that Joe Brown is getting in the run
ming" for the governorship in great
shape An Americus official who
has been visiting the county seats OF
number of counties recently stated
that he was greatly surprised at the
strength of Brown. Crisp and DOoley
counties will give him a majority, /
believe" said the gentleman referred
to.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun has
this to say:
A Columbus gentleman, returning
from Atlanta, was much amazed al
the political situation as regards the
state gubernatorial race, as reflected
in conversations with his friends in
Atlanta and talking with travelling
men on the trains. The speaker is
we'll known in the capital city and
remarked that he talked with perhaps
q hundred and fifty people on the
streets and on the train. Out of that
one hundred and fifty people, found
|only one who was for Hokeg Smith
for governor, all of them fayoring
Little joe Brown with the exception
of that one.
Il met a large number of travelling
men on the train, who were going to
Atlanta to attend the convention of
the commercial travellers and to a
man they were for Mr. Brown. The
common reply to the question, 'Why?'
was poor business Many of the
travelling men believe that Little joe
will be a winner.
Il was amazed particularly, at the
popularity of Mr. Brown in the city of
Atlanta, Mr. Smiths home I never
saw such a unanimity of sentiment
on question in Atlanta and if the
condition that prevails in that city is
general, Little Joe Brown will be
Georgia's next Governor"

Catarrh of Head and Stomach.

fiicted with this awful disease, and con-
slider it my duty to say a word in behalf
Of the remedy which gave me such relief.
"Peruna cured me, and | know it will
cure any one else who suffers from this
disease. Itgives me greatpleasure to tes-
tify to the curative effects of this medi-
cine.
"Peruna is a we'll tested and fre-
quently used remedy, and for catarrh
of the stomach it is unsurpassed.
''My catarrh was principally located
in my head and stomach. tried many
remedies without success. tried sew
eral doctors, but they were unable to
cure me. Tread of Peruna in the papers,
and five bottles cured me-"
Almost from the first dose Peruna
will relieve symptoms of stomach ca
tarrh. Peruna at once sharpens the
appetite, increases the digestive powerss'
and gives renewed strength.

EATERS IN PANIC
AT ADVANCE IN PRICE
Western Article is Soaring
Higher.

Americus people addicted to the
habit of eating Western beef are
not a little alarmed at the fact that
porterhouse steaks and all other cary
ings from the Western steer have
put on wings and are soaring to
heights heretofore never attained
In fact, Western beef, during the
past week, has gone out of sight.
There has been an average adj
vance of 2 to 4 cents on all kinds
of beef, and there is every indication
that choice cuts will bring 25 cents
per pound in a few days.
Local butchers are poWerless to
stop the advance of prices and ad-
vices from other cities of the State
indicate that the same conditions pre-
vail everywhere.
Representatives of the big packing
houses claim that the meat shippers
west of Chicago are responsible for
the high prices, their source of cat
tie supply for killing having been
curtailed by the quarantine restric-
tions of the west.
This concerted action has caused
an unnatural scarcity of beef on the
markets and consequently much
higher prices.
The advances in the retail prices of
choice cuts and steaks ranges from
two to four cents per pound. Wes-
tern pork and veal is higher, too
While Americus consumes a great
quantity of Western beef daily, the
home-raised product is more largely
sold here and in this there has been
no advance in price Enough beef
cattle should be raised here to sup
ply the entire demand, easily.
There is hardly any chance OF
cheaper Western beef for several
weeks at least, and instead of low
er market dealers see nothing in
view but higher prices unless wes-
tern shippers change their policy.
