OLD BUILDING Is STILL
A LANDMARK IN CI.Y.
Among Oldest of AmefiCuS
Structures.

The extensive repairs now being
made upon the brick building at jack
son and Forsyth streets reminds the
oldest inhabitant" of the fact that
it, too, is landmark. This building
was erected shortly after the close OF
the civil war in 1866 and was consid-
cred one of architectural beauty in
it's day. For forty-fve years it has
withstood the ravages of time and
tempests, and with the improvements
now being made will remain for many
years in the future. During a con-
f1dgration which started one night on
Cotton avenue, the entire block bound
ed by the avenue, Lamar, Jackson and
Forsyth streets, was swept away, ev-
cry store being burned except the
building now known as the Jackson
House. From Buchanan's corner to
Rylander's, and thence to Forsyth
street every building fell prey to
the flames. In the rebuilding after
the civil war the old structure now
being remodeled was put up. 1t has
been utilized in many lines of busi-
ness, and will be again soon, as in
years past, a high class dry goods
emporium.

AMtRICUS AT OPERA IS
GIVEN A BAD JOLT.
SOngbird Flew as Audience
Waited.

The season OF opera with which At
lanta is now wrestling, and where
Americus shows up strong in the
dress parade, recalls to theatre-go-
ers here an operate occasion of some
years ago when the cit. upon his ma
tive heath was permitted to list to the
tWitter of an imported canary.
1t was swell event, and the old
opera house here was filled to the
doors with a fashionable audience as
sembled at two dollars per.
Not only were the musical eritics in
the lineup, those who really appre-
ciated music of the operate brand, but
a strong contingent who loved melody
as expressed in the sweet old songs
of before the war" variety.
Rarely had such a large and cul-
tured aud ence assembled here.
The beautiful song bird, Madam de
Houke, was on dit, and amid hush
ed stiffness scared to saccharine
heights in the rendition of selections
famed as the tenderloin cuts of the
musical composers. In intense rap.
ture the audience listened as the sons
bird bathed in the clouds.
Nothing so grand, so sublime, sc
magnificent had ever been heard in
Americus, and the rafters ratified witf
applause again and again.
Then the beautiful prima donna re.
ceived note from some one Of he1
charmed auditors. 1t read something
like this:
Dear Madam: Your II Trovatore is
all right, your La Tosca measures full.

eXcelled; but can't you give up a in
stead few ripples of 'suwanee River,

The answer did rot come back, but
the singer did-one time.
Very graciously She sang "suwanee
River" at the finish of winch me ap.
plause was deafening. Then she
smiled, and on reverse lever went be-
hind the curtain.
1t was the last glimpse that Ameri-
Gus audience got of her as she faded
away Still applauding, they sat and
waited for her reappearance, for had
not request been made for "Anaie

REVIVAL TO CLOSE AT
SERVICE THIS EVENING
BaSS=StapIeton Meeting to
End Tonight.

The s-Stapleton meeting, which
has been in progress at the Methodist
church for the past three weeks will
close tonight with the 7:45 service.
In many respects this has been the
most successful meeting held in this
church for many years. 1t has been
indeed remarkable in it's scope and
power.
There has been an atmosphere OF
conviction upon the congregation at
every service, scores have professed
faith, with thirty accessions to the
Methodist church, while some have an
nounced their intention to join other
churches.
The influence Of this meeting will
doubtless be felt for years, and there
has been a general uplift among the
church members of Americus.
Rev. Bass is an evangelist of re-
markable qualifications and has the
faculty of giving the gospel to his
hearers in manner both pleasing and
convincing, and few there are indeed
who deal with the common sins as
does this man.
He calls sin "sin" and makes no
apologies for the Scripture, but gives
it to the people clearly and positive
ly. Earnest, consecrated and appeal
ing are his deliveries, and he has been
used remarkably in his special field
of labor.
He has won. many close friends IN
Americus who regret to see the aaet-
ing come to a close.
Too much cannot be said of the
splendid singing of the meeting, led
by Mr.. Stapleton, who is co-workar
to Mr. Bass. Many expressions Of ap
probation of his successful 1eade .ship
and splendid solo singing is heard.
He possesses, as a Savannah news
item says, "a voice of unusual quality
true and we'll controlled" His singing
has been used greatly in the further
ance of the cause of religion, and
sacred singing in this city.
Much Of the success of the meeting
is due to the management in whic1
Mr.. Bass is known as being master
when having such man as Rev. o. B
Chester, pastor of the church, whose
pastorate here has won for the church
and meeting many points of advantage
essential to a revival.
Services as usual today, except there
will be no service at IL a. m. for men
| as Mr.. Bass will address the students
at the Agricultural college this morn.

ber, through and through. 'The Rose
Colored Acacia" by Elsie Singmaster, is
a story of reconciliation over the graves
of the Blue and the Gray. The story OF
"A Mans Work." by Garland p. Fer
rell, is convincing proof that story
of cowboy life can keep ones interest
aroused to the keenest pitch, without the
introduction of single bad man. James
b. Connolly's article on ''The American
Boy and the Navy" shows what oppor-
tunities lie open to the young enlisted
man in the American naval service And
the beautiful cover of this issue symbol
izes a custom which is growing in our

of the navy who sleep beneath the waves.
