A New Collector. The Proprietor of the Bepublican takes pleasure in informing its many readers in this immediate section that he has secured the services of Mr. H. C. Johnson, as agent for the Repub lican in collecting subscriptions and other accounts due the office. Mr. Johnson iswell known throughout this section and we speak for Him a kindly reception by all friends and patrons of the Republican. Election Tickets. A large lot of republican tickets were received in Americus on Tues day for distribution. The name of D. B. Harrell was on them for Con gress from the Third -District. We warn the Democrats of the District riot to be caught by any of the tricks of the Republicans. They will vote for their ticket solid, and if you stay away from the polls, may elect their man. X£T CHILDREN’ b"’l .OTHfNG, at J. WAXELBAUM & CO’S. 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 that can he had and his prices are al ways the lowest. This week they are doing an immense business in Cloth ing, Cloaks and Dress Goods. Call 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. CST’Call and see our line of Cashmeres— all shades with trimmings to match. J, WAXELBAUM & CO. 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. Circus. Friday next you may prepare for a dark cloud “Forty acres and a mule” will be in town by a large majority. As young, middle aged, infants in their mothers arms; all hurrying in from midnight until noon to see the 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! The Late Tifton Affray, We learn from the Berrien county News that the Mayo brothers, sons of Mr. G. B.

It is good discretion not to make too much of any man at the first; because one cannot hold out that proportion.

It has two distinct heads and the tail is rapidly diminishing. We have heard some real funny things on “the boys” lately, but then wo won’t tell on ’em in type. True, what we have heard are only jokes, but still they are mighty funny ones.

Judging from the size of the ladies hats, this season, it will be impossible for ordinary mortals to catch a glim pse of preacher, lecturer, speaker or actor, unless the aforesaid ordinary mortals secure front seats on all occasions. Let the men have some chance. Give them the front seats. A young lady in Dakota has lately advertised for a husband to this ex ceedingly practical fashion. “I mean business. If there is any young man in the county that has as much sand in him as a pound of plug tobacco, I want to hear from him. I have a free claim and homestead, am a good cook and not afraid of work, and willing to do my part. If any man with a like amount of land, and decent face and earcass, wants a good wife, I enn face the bill.” DON’T buy your Black Cashmeres until you have examined Wheatley’s stock.

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. Not only the largest but by far the cheapest lot of Jeans and Cassimeres that can be found in Americus, is to be seen at Thornton Wheatley’s, all grades from the best to the cheapest at 15 to 20 per cent, under last season’s prices.
