Wil son' and Miss Annie Rogers, all of Sumter. 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. Ilats and Shoes cheap and good at Hamii. Bro’s. 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. Just Received. Fresh gilt edge Butter and Cheese at Er>. Anhlky’s. 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. Free. Free. Free. Free. AT TIIK BAItLOVV HOUSE. HOT LUNCH, Every Morning from 10 to 11:30. Oct7-2w 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. To My Friends and Patrons ! I am now located at JOHN R. SHAW’S large business establish ment, at which place I would be pleas: ed to see my old friends and patronsj to whom I will give my personal at tention and guarantee fair dealing. PETER F. BROWN. 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. Rich. A teacher of this city is in receipt of a postal card from a distance from a person asking information as to the proper use of “word method.” Here is the postal and it is from a teaeher(?). Oct 3th 1882 dear sir do you mean for me to represent to the children such words as Hat Mat and Bat or Nat I In teach ing the Alphaßet that Way if not right rite soon if right rite soon. Where, oh, where is the Board of Education of that county? 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.” OTHER handsome lot of Fine HATS AND CLOTHING!

The negroes of Schley held a meet ing Saturday night and nominated Tom Harlin, alias Tom Moy, for the Legislature. Tire white people did not know they had out a candidate to oppose W. 1). Murray until Tuesday evening, the day before tho election, when Moy called for his tickets at the Post office. Tom, four or five years ago, beat another old negro quite severely, was hailed out of jail by his colored friends and then ran away to Thomasville; was shot by the Sheriff there in arresting him. lie was brought back, convicted, and paid the fine rather than go to the chain gang.

Cawood of Lee county, was in the city on last Friday. We are always pleased to meet this faith ful minister of tho Gospel—for never weary in well doing, lie faithfully performs his ministerial work, anil leaves an impress for good upon all his surroundings. Quite a compliment has been paid our young friend, Mr. R. C. Black, of this city, in his election as one of the directors of the Bank of Americus. Mr. Black is one of our solid young men, and it is a pleasure to his many friends in this city to notice important trusts reposed into his hands, for his reliability and business qualifications eminently fit him for any position of responsibility. Master Tommy E. Davenport, son of our esteemed friend, Col. W. T. Davenport of this city, left a few days ago for Oxford to enter Emory Col lege.

James Frickek & Bno. We could not supply the demand for the Weekly Republican on last Friday, though we worked off two hundred and fifty extra copies. Dr. Edward 11. Clarke is credited with saying that “the duties of the mother of a family require as much toil of brain and body as those of the captain of a ship.” Did you over notice a certain young man with a large pinch-back gold chain dangling from his vest-pocket, with what pomposity he struts our streets? Did you ever? No I never! “The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year.” Not much. These days of cotton bales and small change are the most joyous of all to business men and horny handed agri culturists. The Republican office is not re ceiving bill-head and letter-head pa per by tho car load every week, but the foreman of the office is kept busy daily turning out tho handsomest work that can be executed in the State. Rev. Charles J.

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.

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- I’dy.” A WORD TO FARMERS-, Now is tlie time for you to apply for a mortgage loan on your lands and improve your farm, repair your buildings and put yourself in position to make your next crop on a cash basis.
