Change ol Base,
On Friday morning before day-light
made its appearance, every negro man
and iiis old woman that could muster
up a goods box had it spread with
eatables for circus day at the old Dud
ley field, and when the fact become
known that the circus would not tent
there, but had moved to McKay hill
a general stampede took place and
such a'scattering of dishes you never
did see.
Willis Cobb, the Press Man.
Mr. Willis Cobb, the grand attrac
tion of Bajrett’s circus, the press
manager, gave us a call on Friday
morning. We have had a long ac
quaintance with all kinds of Cobbs,
and always found something nutri
tious and sweet about them; but this
Cobb is more than ever attractive and
genial. He is one of the Cobbs that
will do to live by and even travel
with to a better world. Long may
this Cobb bear the kernels of life with
the juice of joy and happiness with
him.

Good Farming.
Well balanced kites always sail high

L. Kite, comes to the front with a

He has made with four mules forty
bales of cotton, eight hundred bushels
corn, eight or nine barrels of syrup,
four hundred bushels sweet potatoes
and has twenty-five acres of ground
peas, with thirty head of hogs fat
enough for meat next year. If any
county has a kite, with as short a tail,
that can fly higher than Sumter, let
it be trotted to the front.

Barrett’s Railroad Show.
It is not common to meet shows or
circusses but what they are more or
less demoralized, generally more
rather than less. Mr. Willis Cobb
who is an affiable, polished business
gentlemen offered to take us through
his mammoth show, of which offer we
availed ourselves. We found every
department clean and in perfect order.
Every employee at his post. No pro
fanity or obscene language bombard
ed the ears. Such neatness and clean
liness are the flowers that spring from
honor and truth. We are satisfied that
Mr. Willis Cobb is not the only gen
tleman in the troope or he would not
be cheerful and gay, his companion
ship must be congenial. Barrett’s
shows and circus are good shows and
worthy the confidence of the people.
They had an ovation in Americus and
we hope they will come again.

Death of Mrs. Maggie Godwin Wheeler
On Thursday morning the friends
and relatives of Mrs. Wheeler, were
astonished to hear from her at
tending physician, that she was in a
dying condition, the surprise was the
greater as she had walked from her
own to her father’s house only a
few days previous. She was the
oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. Cooper
Godwin of this city, was the pride of
the family and the light of her hus
band’s eye. To all these sorely and
suddenly stricken ones we extend our
earnest condolence. The remains
were entered Friday morning at the
old Cemetery at 10 o’clock a. m., Rev.
J. O. Cook officiating. She was in her
twenty-fourth year.
Death of Mrs. Marion Sims,
This lady, the wife of Mr. Marion
Sims, one of our most esteemed citi
zens, died Thursday morning at 2
o’clock, after a short but fatal illness
of five days. Mrs. Sims had been a
resident for but a few months in our
city, yet many acquaintances who
welcomed tier coming, had learned to
love her for the many gems of virtue
which sparkled for their radience
in the social circle. But a short period
had passed between the marriage and
the funeral bed, and will ever exist
in her bereaved husband’s memory
“as a joy forever.” We extend our
sympathy to him as well as to the
other near relatives.

amusing to a bald-headed man. He
will interest you at any time if you

promenades with jaunty air across
your bump of veneration and over
your brow, and stops on .the bridge of

Friday.
On Friday morning we were called
at half-past three with the an
nouncement that “day is broke.” On
looking at the clock we saw the error,
but we heard the whistle of engines at
the depot, the roll of wagons on the
streets and the rush of feet of pedes
trians and they thronged into the city
to greet Barrett’s great circus. By
daylight three or four thousand col
ored pcoplo w r ere in the city, and the
streets w r ere crowded by seven o’clock
so that the middle W’as the only place
a person could perambulate with ease.
Barrett’s show is the grandest, best
and most attractive that has ever
visited Americus, and when it comes
again will draw double the crowd that
visited it this time.

Savannah Times.
A few nights ago when the regular
Albany Express train was on its way
to this city, one of the gentlemen pass
engers dreamed that the train had met
with an accident and he leaped irom
his reclining posture in the seat anti
rushed for the door. One ot the train
hands quickly suspicioned that the
party was only half awake, and there
fore seized him around tho body and
arms on the platform and prevented
the dreamer from jumping off the train,
which at that moment was running
about twenty miles an hour. When
the passenger returned to the seat he
realized the true condition of affairs,
and thanked his rescuer for the inter
est lie had shown in him- About half
an hour afterwards, when some of the
other passengers, were asleep and some
awake, a loud crash startled the occu
pants of the car and the dreamer was
seen to disappear, feet foremost, through
the car window. The night was quite
dark and the train was dashing ahead
at about the same rate of speed as when
the unfortunate man made his first at
tempt to leap from the train. Fortu
nately the conductor was entering the
ear just as tho traveler was disappear
ing through the window, and he leaped
to tlie bell rope and immediately after
the train came to a standstill. Some
of the passengers and the conductor
then ran back on the road, hut before
they reached the point where the dream
er fell they heard him sing out: “Hold
on there a minute, I’m coming!” When
he reached the light it was ascertained
that both of the man’s hands had been
badly cut by the glass of the window,
but beyond that he had met with no
injury worth speaking of.
CHEAP MONEY.
Now is the time for farmers to arrange for
money to improve their farms, their homes,
and pay up all their debts, get improved
farming implements, and fix themselves to
make their crops next year on a cash basis.
This can be done by taking a mortgage loan
for three, four or five years. The loans only
bear 8 per cent, per annum, and expenses
of negotiating are light. It is the cheapest
money to be had. If you don’t think so call
and have it explained. For particulars call

A Dream Verified.
Nashville World,
One of the most remarkable instances
of the verification of a dream was real
ized in the triple fatality which oc
curred in Knoxville yesterday. On
Wednesday Messrs. Hooper Harris,
S. H. Bell and R. 11. Stannard were
sitting in front of the office of the Ten
nessee Brokerage Association, when the
subject of dreams was broached. The
first-named of these gentlemen said
that he had on the night previous, had
a peculiar dream to the effect that Gen.
Mabry and his son had been killed in
a street difficulty at Knoxville by Maj.
Thos. O’Conner, who was himself kill
ed. When the terrible news came from
Knoxville yesterday Mr. Harris’ nar
ration of his dream recurred with start
ling force to the gentlemen who had
herad it, and the story of the dream
and its verification was common talk on
the streets yesterday.
The incident becomes even more re
markable when it is known that Mr.
Harris was not aware of an uuplesant
relation existing between the parties)

Two or more years ago, a lady of our
acquaintance was afflicted with a case
of malarial fever that did not yield,un
til recently, to any curative process.
She visited the mountain top, the sea
shore and pine wood, but in vain. She
took many kinds of medicine without
beneficial results. During her sickness
she absorbed seven thousand grains of
quinine, hut to no good purpose. A
few weeks ago, an aged relative in
Maryland asked and obtained her con
(:nt to try a remedy he had never fail
ed with when a planter and slave own
er. He concocted four pills containing
opium, pecoc, calomel, This was a
nauseous dose, hut it worked wonders.
Her recovery was almost instantaneous.
All traces of the malady rapidly dis
appeared, and she is now, for the fiist
time in two years, in perfect health.
