PROCLAIMS SCRIPTURE.

ATLANTA, April t0-Busy shop

displaying the command: Prepare to

The banner, known as the gospel

carried it in 1876 cities and towns of
the United States and Canada. The
wording is frequently changed, but

Amundsep, discoverer of the South

necessary, with civilization, relaying
reports that otherwise would be hid

Exploring Made Easy.
Amundsen, in his fifties, with
graying hair and face lined by years
of battling with the desolate ice
fields of both ends of the earth, talks
of his remarkable plans as if at last
science had made easy the path of
the explorer.

TAKES
BUENAY VISTA MAN
w. E. Butt Dies Suddenly Down
Town; Was Formerly Ordin-
ary Of County

Friends here were shocked today
to learn of the sudden death in
Buena Vista about 8 o'clock this
morning of w. E. Butt, well known
business man of that town. Death
was due to apoplexy, he being strick-
en- after he had gone down town
this morning, apparently in his usual
good health.
Mr.. Butt, who was about 55 years
of age, was in the cotton warehouse
and guano business, and several
years ago was ordinary of Marion
county. He was the father of Miss
Mahala Butt, a teacher in the Buena
Vista schools and frequent visitor
to Americus. Miss Butt was the
weekend guest here of Miss Orlean
Ansley and went home Sunday aft
ernoon.
1t is recalled by friends that the
father OF Mr.. Butt died of the same
cause while on fishing trip num-
Der of years ago. S8
