BUSINESS BUILDING IS
SOLD YESTERDAY.
Mrs. BagIey Buys Two
Story Building.

A fine piece of business property
was sold yesterday, and although the
price has not been made public, it is
said by interested parties to have been
at a figure that Shows that Americus
realty is in nowise suffering from any
tendency to depreciate.
The property in question is the two
story brick building on the west side
of Cotton avenue, near Lamar street
the lower floor of which is occupied
by Davis Brothers, and the upper by
Miss Anna May Bell as her studio.
This is a fine piece of renting prop
erty and hardly likely, from it's loca-
ton, to ever be otherwise titan in
demand.
Mr.. Lee Allen has been the owner
for some time. He disposed of it to
Mrs. L. G. Bagley, who bought it
through her son, Mr.. Henry Bagley.
The new purchaser does not contem-
plate making any changes in the prop
erty, simply regarding it as good
fixed investment.

LETTERS OF LONG AGO
READ OUT.,IN COURT.
Sensational Case Tried al
Preston.

Judge q. A. Littlejohn presided yes
terday at Preston in a case which, ow-
ing to it's sensational features and
prominence of the parties involved
created profound interest in the county
and attracted hundreds to hear the
proceedings.
The trial revealed the old story, so
oft retold, of woman who loved not
wisely but too WELL whose faith was
strong, who faltered faint, and fell.
The state was represented by Solic-
itor-General ]. R. Williams and Col.
J. F. Souter, while defendant was rep
resented by Messrs. ]. B. Hudson, f
A. Hooper, G. Y. Harrell, Judge Hickey
and Col. James, the two latter at
torneys from Lumpkin.
An array of witnesses were sum-
moned, but only two or three were in
troduced, the evidence being largely
documentary.
Letters, the dear sweet missives of
an unhallowed past, were produced in
court, sans flowers, sans ribbons, and
read. The old letters were supposed
to have been burned, as the writer re-
quested, but they were destined for
another role, as was evidenced yes
terday.
A score of these letters were read
to the jury, amid the hushed stiffness
of the courtroom, the young woman
sobbing convulsively during the try
ing ordeal.
Her statement was brief and concise,
as was that of the defendant. The
submission of letters ended early in
the afternoon and waf followed by
argument of counsel, which consumed
the day. The case was not concluded
until we'll into the evening.
Messrs. Williams and Souter spoke
for the state, while Messrs. Hooper
and Hudson made arguments for the
defense.

SEEK STOCKHOLDERS
THIS MORNING.
Launching Movement For
Small Industries.
Next Public Meeting to
Be Held on Next
Monday Night.

The soliciting committee of the
Americus Industrial DEVELOPMENT COM
pany will meet at the store of Mr.. Tom
Bell this morning at 10 o'clock, for
the purpose of making an initial can
vass of the city for subscribers to the
stock of the movement.
This committee is composed Of
Messrs. Everett, Shiver, Gatewood.
Williams and Bell.
The purpose this morning is to make
what may be termed a flying canvass
among the business men and prop
erty owners, who are greatly inter-
ested, or should be, in the movement
to promote the interests of Americus
industrially,w ith the purpose of Sc
curing stock subscriptions to report
at the next public meeting, when the
charter is to be adopted and the in
corporators named.
1t has been decided, owing to the alb
sence of w. T. Lane, Esq, who acted
as chairman of the first public meet
ing, as well as of other interested
parties, to postpone the public meet
ing until Monday night, when all
will be present.
At that meeting the final arrange
ments for the organization of the com
pany are expected to be made.
1t is believed there will be a liberal
response to the movement The pur-
pose is to make the movement thor
oughly popular one, to induce every
one, if possible, to become financially
interested in it, to some extent, so that
there will be no great burden falling
upon any one. If the response is
general there will be ample funds
coming in to assist in establishing
several promising industries within
THE year, and no one will feel that he
has been called upon to make any
material sacrifice.
Small industries should pay we'll
here, if carefully, selected, and the
stockholders In the Americus Indus
trial Development Company stand an
excellent chance of securing substan-
tial dividends on their investments
and of having their money paid back to
them after the desired industries have
been secured, if any should decide tt
dispose of their stock at any time.
If all show an interest in the move
ment to some extent, there is no ques-
tion that it can be made a pronounced
success and that within a very short
time steps can be taken for the es~
tablishment of the first one or two
small industries that are to be the
fruits of the movement.

MASONIC DINNER WAS
THOROUGHLY ENJOYED
Over Two Hundred at the
Banquet.

A fitting finale to the Masonic cere.
monies of yesterday was the dinner at
the armory last night, between the
first and second sections of the Master
Mason's degree work.
1t was about 8 o'clock when the fra
ternity entered the hall, escorting the
Grand Lodge officers and other visit
ing brothers. There were accommoda-
tions provided for 210 and every seat
was occupied.
The hall made very pretty picture,
with its elaborate decorations, taste
fully arranged by the deft fingers of
the members of the Order of Eastern
Star, the ladies of the Americus Chap
ter having entire charge of the dinner.
The walls were concealed with
masses of smilax. From the centre
of the ceiling was suspended a basket
of exquisite carnations, from which
streamers Of pink ran in all direc-
tons. Suspended at four points of a
square were other baskets of carna-
tions. The color scheme throughout
was pink, and the vases, of which
there were four on each table, held
magnificent pink roses, whose fra
GRANGE was shed over the hall.
A change was made in the usual ar
rangement of the tables. A round table,
with seats for twelve, occupied the
point of honor in the centre at the
front of THE room. On this the decor
ations were ferns and rosebuds. Run
ming from it were two tables, and tc
each side of it ere two tables ex-
tending the entire length of the room.
Another table of smaller length COM
pleted the seven that provided ac.
commodations for all except the prtn-
