Mr. J.M. Gay is very ill at his home in the country. The skill of physicians seems of no avail, and he is steadily growing weaker. His family and friends entertain the gravest apprehensions. Later, Mr. Gay died this morning. Mr. Albert Reese spent just four weeks in Ellaville and carried back to Savannah nineteen more pounds of flesh than he had when he came. A young lady who has been in school here just a short while has gained fifteen pounds. This speaks well for the healthfulness of our town, don't you think? We are sorry to learn that Mr. Ed McElmurray is sick. Little Miss Edith Munro was a pleasant caller at the "Pintin Offis" Monday. The ladies of th Baptist Church raffled off a quilt a few days ago which was won by Miss Eva Berry. There was considerable wind, rain and hail in Ellaville Sunday night but no damage was done, except to those who went in their storm pits and lost a nights sleep. AMERICUS AND ELLAVILLE There is a strong possibility that Americus will soon be connected with Ellaville by telephone. This enterprise will mark a wonderful stroke of enterprise for both places and will be of great benefit to the businessmen of Americus as well as Ellaville; more especially will Americus be benefitted because of its wholesale business. Co. Ed Hornady is working to have the telephone a certainty. He spent yesterday in our city in the interest of the new line, and stated to the Times Recorder last night that he had much encouragement. Many have subscribed liberally and not a few will give their money to this progressive measure, two gentlemen have gave $50 a piece.--Times Recorder. PERSONAL Will Hornady is visiting the homefolk. Messrs. Ed Cheney and Garrice Haglier went to Americus Saturday. Miss Massie Crittenden, a popular young lady of Shellman is visiting at Mrs. S.E. Hornady's. Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Wilkinson of Long Cane have been viiting at the home of Mr. T.H. Wilkinson, near LaCrosse. The news comes from Columbus that Mrs. W.H.McCrory who has been desperately ill, is improving. Dr. and Mrs. Munro, Miss Mary Hornady and Mr. A.A. Arrington went down to hear Talmage lecture in Americus last night. Messrs. T.A. Collins and Claude Dixon went up to Taylor County Monday, on business. Miss Foy, the talented young teacher who presides over the school at Schley was in town Saturday. Miss Kate Williams has recovered from her recent illness and went to her school at Glen Holly Monday. Sam Bridges taught the school during her absence in a very acceptable manner. A welcome visitor to Ellaville this week was Mr. J.A.S. Baisdn of Atlanta. He was on his way to Florida and stopped over a few days to visit his aged father who is quite feeble. Miss Annie Lewis, a bright and attractive young lady of Atlanta arrived Saturday night and will be the guest of her aunt Mrs. J.N.Cheney for several weeks. THE BANK SHORTAGE Mr. A.L. Reese, the expert bank accountant who has been in Ellaville for the past month straightening the books of the Planters Bank, completed his work last week and returned to his home in Savannah. The shortage of cashier Clark amounted to $9500. Instead of being the victim of an unfortunate deal in cotton futures as his friends believed, he has been persuing a course of systematic stealing for several months. He viloated every obligation, betrayed every trust and is guilty of no less than a dozen serious crimes. The feeling against Mr. Clark is very strong and he has sunk very low in public opinion. Every one believes that he should suffer the full penalty for his crime, but a wave of piy will mingle with the storm of indignation when those who know his weak and vascillating nature, remember that he was trying to follow in the footsteps of those to whom he looked for advice and guidance. They were shrewed enough to evade the clutches of the law and today sit in hig! h places. He made a bungling job and is looked upon as a common thief. The mill of God grinds slow but sure and some day the shrewed financiers who have defrauded the honest toilers all over this country of their hard earned dollar will be made to realize that the way of the transgressor is harsh. EIGHT HUNDRED DOVES KILLED. The bird hunt last Thursday was the greatest of the season. The nimrods from all parts of the county came in long before sunup to the "baited" field back of Capt. Burton's. Below you can see who did the best shooting. Names--Shots--Birds J.M.Murray--181--62 C.R. McCrory--235--56 E.S. Baldwin--113--54 W.T. Myers--99--42 E.A.
