Progress in the Matter of the Short
Line Pacific Railroad.
Mayor Felder is sanguine and en
couraged in the matter of raising a fund
for the purchase of the right of way
and land to build a depot, and for
shops, etc., of the Pacific Short Line.
He gives all the time he can from the
pressing demands of his own, and the
city’s business to this important ob
ject. We know of no object of public
interest which has so strong a claim
on the people of Americus, as the one
which Mayor Felder has in charge at
this time, and we bespeak for him a
patient and earnest hearing, when
his proposition is brought up for a
hearing. If Americus had another
outlet to the sea, the groat public high
way of the world, there is nothing
that could hinder the rise in real es
tate, and the quadrupling of the com
merce of our city. We love our city
and wish it to take a stand in every
branch of distinction to which she is
entitled. No event will so greatly
enhance this desired result so much
as the passage of this real need through
our cityOne of the officers of this
road is a resident of our city, and will
do all he can to make this point a
favored one in the road. So we hope
our capitalists will give all the encour
agement they can to forward this
idea, verbum sap.
Saturday Night.
Americus had several excitements
on Saturday night, the biggest one
was the fire. Then the police had a
frolic trying to overhaul a couple of
larks who were making night hideous
with yells and whoops. These two
fellows had prepared themselves
against arrest by using a pair of fast
mules and a wagon. In the midst of
their triumphant hallelujahs, the spat
tering of mud, two of the police fol
lowed in slush and mud; but could
not get to them, finally they doubled
on them and Tom Hobbs and Bud
Fallis came to grief and found lodg
ment in the calaboose. Monday
Mayor Felder was kind enough to
value their merriment at ten dollars
and costs commutible to ten days on
the street.
Wheatley’s store is the busiest place
in town. The reason is that lie has
the latest styles, sells the best goods

and sec them.
A Surgical Operation by a Young
Lady.
Two orthree weeks ago, a negro boy
was cutting wood for a family, in this
city, when by a mislick, he cut off one
of his big toes. The old people were
all absent from home, and a young
lady in her teens, commiserating the
unfortunate negro, took her needle
and thread and a lot of healing salve,
sewed on the toe, bandaged it up
nicely and told the hoy to go to bed
and keep quiet. He is now able to
be about, but the young lady perpe
trated a huge joke on the unsuspect
ing negro, as she put the toe on bot
tom-side upward. The nail is too
hard for him to walk on, and is wear
ing off from grinding on the ground.
He thinks of suing for damage.
Mr. Jas. Dunn’s Boarder.
Saturday night after the fire excite
ment was over and Mr. Dunn and
family had retired for the night, and
asleep, his wife was aroused by the
footfalls of someone in the house.
She slipped out into the hall and saw
it was a strange man, she called her
husband, who came rushing to the
scene armed with a billet of wood,
which would in the hands of a man
aroused from sleep, with notice that
the sacredness of his private castle
was invaded, have proved fatal to the
intruder had not his good wife stayed
his handbysaying“don’t kill him he’s
drunk.” He was turned over to the
police who took care of him for five
dollars and costs.

Fire.
On Saturday night Mr. Geo. Staple
ton’s crib cantaining hay, and oats, a
small mill and an oat chopper was
destroyed by fire, in the western part
of the city. It is not certain how the
fire originated. The loss is estimated
at one hundred and fifty dollars. The
fire department was out, in force, and
did good work in saving valuable
property In the dwellings around.
They deserve the thanks of the com
munity for their vigilance and prompt
ness.

parade and listen to the band wagon.
Two or three thousand dollars of low
denominations will change local habi
tations that day of which the circus
will pocket the biggest part.
The Atlanta Constitution.
Ed Johnson, the genial and hand
some agent of the splendid journal,the
Atlanta Constitution , was in the city
Tuesday, the busiest man we’ve seen
for a month. He is Working up his
paper with a rush and we presume
he has an easy job,for the Constitution
is one of the best papers in the South
and the leading one in Georgia. Long
may it live to fight for Democracy and
the rights of the people.
Mayor Felder’s Levee.
But few applicants were clamorous
for a hearing on Monday evening.
Mr. Joe Duckworth was the only
party who appeared before the dais.
He was charged with disorderly con
duct the 3rd inst., on Lamar street,
the evidence conflicted some, his
honor said that he would he lenient
and recorded only SO.OO and costs or
fivo days on the street. The next in
dictment was for the like conduct on
the 29th of July in the store of Harri
son Watts. In this case his counsel
offered no witnesses nor any palliation
and hoped the Mayor would be as
soft as he could consistent with his
obligation to the city. Whereupon
it was considered and adjudged that
a contribution of ten dollars or work
for that many days on the street
would satisfy the wounded dignity of
the city. Whisky! whisky!

Panic in a Church.
While the usual Wednesday night
services were in progress in the Baptist
church in Greensboro, N.C., last week,
which was crowded, the chandelier,
holding twelve large kerosene lamps,
and suspended from the ceiling, broke
and fell. The lamps were overturned
and spread sheets of fire in every direc
tion, and in an instant the interior of
the church was in flames, and many of
the congregation were stifled by the
smoke, which quickly filled the build
ing. Men, women and children were
crowded together in one huddling mass,
all panic stricken. The pastor was the
first to recover presence of mind, and
he at once called to the deacons to pre
serve order and persuade the congrega
tion to be calm. This had the desired
effect, and as soon as the minister, who
fortunately had a stentorian voice,
shouted the names of the different
church officers present, they began at
once to break open the doors and win
dows and to remove the women and
children. The church, which is a large
frame building without galleries, had
four doors and large windows on each
side, and fortunately was not raised
high above the ground. The congre
gation therefore got out without delay,
and the building was entirely destroyed.
