White for the Harvest.
On the road from this place to Pres
ton, the fields are white for the har
dest. Cotton-pickers are in demand,
and a backwardness for work is too
apparent, for pickers are hard to se
cure—laziness and waiting for higher
prices is the sole cause of the matter
being in such a condition. We some
times sigh for the good old times of
slavery.
Collision.
The night accommodation and
freight trains collided on Tuesday
night, about one o’clock, while pass
ing through Bagley’s fields, about
two miles from Americus. One or
two trucks were thrown from the
track, and they were not replaced
until about six o’clock Wednesday
morning. We believe no one was
injured through the accident.

A Disclaimer.
In last Saturday’s issue an article
appeared in this paper headed “a
malicious slander,” relative to the re
port of small pox being in our city.
We did not know who originated the
report and the article had no personal
reflections. We w-ere fearful that tho
report mightinjure our city—thus the
article. Wo disclaim any personality
in the matter.
A First Class House.
_ We cannot refrain from expressing
our appreciation of the “delights”
that are around the Perry House.
This hostelry in its location meets the
happy requirements of every boarder.
Its home life is a charm to all, its
table is bountifully supplied with the
best, and its class of boarders are
among the best. The tide of travel
is steadily bearing that way.
Whose is it?
While Mr. M. C. McCuller, of Lee
county, was camped about two miles
from this city on last Thursday night,
a stray horse passed, which was stop
ped and tied, but again became free,
wearing away his collar, but leaving
behind him his bridle, which was
brought to town on Friday morning
by Mr. McCuller. The bridle is a
new one and can be seen at this office,
where it has been left.

On Its Travels,
A right handed look at our mailing
clerk on Friday morning, as he is
knee-deep in mail matter getting off
our Weekly to its thousand subscri
bers, will go far to show and prove a
most healthy appreciation of success
ful journalism. The light of our
Weekly and Semi-Weekly illumines
many a home in this section, and
its rays extendseven to far off Oregon,
taking in that gem of the ocean, the
isle of Cuba.
A Beautiful Banner.
On last Sabbath at the Methodist
Church was presented a banner for the
class that gave the largest collection
for foreign missions for the last quar
ter, and the infant class, under the in
struction of Mrs. C. W. Hancock, re
ceived the banner. This is a model
class as well as the banner class of the
school, and numbers about fifty
scholars. Theirsuccess ought to stimu
late all the other classes in the school
to work and give to the Master’s
cause.
Bank of Americus—Election of Officers
A meeting of the stockholders of
the Bank of Americus was held at
their banking office on Wednesday,
the 4th inst., and after transacting
other business, proceeded to tho elec
tion of officers with the following re
sult:
President— M. Speer.
Cashier— John Windsor.
Directors— M. Speer, U. B. Har
rold, W. T. Davenport, J. W. Shef
field, A. W. Smith, Thornton Wheat
ley, S. K.Taylor, lt.C. Black, (mcht).
Employees remain the same.
It will be seen that quite a change
has been made in the officers, Mr.
Speer taking the place of S. IT. Haw
kins as President, while Mr. Windsor
succeeds Mr. Speer as Cashier.
The President, Mr. Speer, is a gen
tleman well qualified in every way
for the high position he has been call
ed to fill, having had a long experi
ence in financial matters; while the
Cashier, Mr. Windsor, is a successful
business man, and will make a very
efficient officer. The Board of Direc
tors are gentlemen of fine financial
ability. The stockholders have cause
for congratulation that the affairs of
the institution has been placed in the
hands of such competent gentlemen
who compose the Board of Directors
of the Bank of Americus.
At Preston.
The two days spent at Webster
Court by “yc local” wasa time of mark
ed pleasure. It convened on Monday
and adjourned on Tuesday, but in that
time much work was done. Judge
J. A. Ansley is perfectly at home on
the bench, and dispatches business
with a vim. The criminal docket
was nearly cleared the last day. The
lawyers in attendance upon the Court
were very complimentary in what
they said regarding our new Judge.
We cannot thank too much the kind
peopleof Preston and Webster county,
those of them that we met, for kind
nesses shown us during our stay of
two days, and we verily believe that
for hospitality the people of Webster
county can’t be surpassed. To the
Court house officials we are under
many obligations for the courtesies
shown, and for the aid and assistance
rendered us we are under many obli
gations.

The Americus Light Infantry.
The Americus Light Infantry is
now being placed upon a footing that
will insure its permanancy as a first
class military company. At a meet
ing of the command a few nights ago
much enthusiasm was exhibited, and
measures taken to build up the com
pany in every particular for good. It
is the hope of every one that Col. A.
S. Cutts will take the Captaincy,for if
he will only do so its success as an
organization will be assured. The
defence of a place is in its armed sol
diery and no one can tell when an
emergency may arise that will call
into requisition that strong arm. Then
we earnesly hope that the measures
now in operation to place the Amer
icus Light Infantry on a solid founda
tion will be brought to a successful
issue.
The Church in East Americus.
A series ’of religious meetings are
now being held at the church in East
Americus. The Rev. J. <). A. Cook,
preached on last Sunday night, a ser
mon replete with effective and beau
tiful imagaries His line of thought
was upon the transforming power of
sin, the horror of sin, and to be stayed
from its horrors, the acceptance of the
Gospel was the only remedy. The
congregation was a most attentive
one, and reminded one of the good
old days of our fathers, when the
world was made betterby the preach
ing of such men as Jesse Mercer, Lov
ickj Pierce, and others. Success to
the meeting.

Thank You.
It is a duty and a pleasure to us to
thank those who have so promptly
met us with kind words, and with
money to pay up their indebtedness
to their paper. We owe much to that
class of our friends, and it is heartily
appreciated. The dull summer months
are now over, and money is beginning
to be loose all around us, and we
hope that every one who is indebted
to the Sumter Republican will
come forward and pay up promptly.
We desire our interviews to be most
pleasqnt in that line.

A Negro’s Soliloquy,
Wednesday night after the election
a colored man, who had got two or
three drinks of uncle Alex’s Jeffer
sonian Democracy, stood by himself
and let out as follows: “Yes, I was
born here in Georgy withlhe white
folks; raised here, and they gives me
work, supports me and my family,
and some of these mean low down
niggers tried to get me to vote for L.
F. McCoy. Well, I didn’t do it. 1
was too good to go and vote against
my white friends after they’ve helped
me so long, and henceforth I’ll vote
the Democratic ticket as sure as my
name is George. I am going to be
one, and our people will find that the
white people of the South is tho best
friends they’ll ever have. If they
prosper and we’ll work for them w’ell
fare good certain. Its best for us to
be their friends and let these scala
wags alone.” The above was report
ed to us with tho additional remark
that “that darkey’s head is level.”
Make it Look a Little Better-
Ever since the storm a china tree
of large dimensions has been left in
a fallen condition upon tho fence that
surrounds the court house. The next
thing will be the fence that will be
down. But as everything around our
court house presents a zig zag ap
pearance, we reckon it don’t matter
much. The tall weeds in the yard
area gentle reminder that our soil is
prolific in weeds, and tho fence is
most beautiful to see(?) We did hear
that our county commissioners were
going to “tackle” the question this
fall, but it may he a mistake—any
how, do change the appearance of
things around our court house.
The Negro’s Idea,
The comet that is now seen in the
eastern heaven at an early hour in
the morning, is giving our colored
people “a big scare.” “Wats gwine
to bode result ob dat comet?” is a
question repeatedly asked by one
darkey of another. If ignorance is
bliss it is folly to be wise wont do in
this matter, for ignorance in this case
is misery, and wisdom might at this
juncture be of service to the negro.
The negro race progresses most slow
ly, and their idea of the heavens at
night is about the same with the ne
gro, who thonght the stars above him
“were gimlet holes to let the glory
through.”

LOVE’S TRIBUTE.
Died in this city on Monday Octo
ber 2nd, Floyd Marion, son of Col.
and Mrs. E. G. Simmons, aged six
years.
Scarce one short week ago dear lit
tle Floyd was with us, seemingly in
perfect health, flitting about iii his
happy innocence; liis life one bright
summer day made thus through the
loving tenderness of devoted parents
and kind relatives and friends, when
lo! there came borne to us the sad
tidings that the dear little hoy whom
we so fondly loved was dead. Special
ly fitted by a loving father’s hand
with a nature so sensitive, yet so ten
der, lie numbered among his many
friends tho old and the young. Hap
py as Heaven’s own sunlight was his
short life, and like the sweet flowers
which he so beautifully loved, it was
filled with incense fragrant and pure.
Oh, that it were in human power to
speak some word that could lift tho
dreary shadows from the bleeding
hearts of the afflicted and sorrowing
parents. With them we do shed tears
of sympathy, and for them will our
prayers ascend, that through this
night of darkness there may shine
many gleams of heavenly brightness,
falling upon those aching hearts,draw
ing them away from earth with its
shadows up to the rest of Heaven.
Folded are tho dear little hands,
loosely holding beautiful white buds,
quietly folded in peaceful rest; soft
lips but yesterday rippling with joy
ous laughter, now unresponsive to
kiss or call of love; happy little feet
forever stilled, and eyes that were
bright and blue as skies of June, now
drooped o’er white lids to awake but
in the sunshine of Heaven. But ah,
dear friends, weep not in vain; say
not the Father hath willingly wound
ed, for sometime, somewhere, you
shall know why. May He bind the
broken heart-strings, and tune them
iu sweet accord to tho chimings of
eternal love.
Weep not that his toils are over,
Weep not that his race is run,
God grant that we may rest as calmly,
When our work likc’his, is done.
’Til then we should yield with gladness,
Our treasure to him to keep,
And rest in the sweet assurance
lie givetli his loved ones sleep.

the most remarkable coincidence in the
matrimonial way, perhaps, ever record
ed. Dr. li. 15. Lovett lives in Scriven
county and Judge Thomas M. Meri
wether in Newton. They were school
mates. They first married two twin
sisters, daughters of Bishop Andrew.
Their wives died and they then married
two other sisters, also daughters of a
Bishop, Bishop Brice. These wives
died and they then married a third pair
of sisters, not daughters ot a bishop,
but two sisters—being the daughters of
Mr. Smith, of Greene county. With
these last sisters they are living hap-

three, four or live years time—interests per
