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.

JOHN R. SHAW. . Excitement on the Rail. 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 on or address, F. E. BURKE, Successor to First National Bank, Americus, Ga. I have anew I. X. L. Gin—the best gins made—for saledirt cheap. octlltf 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) EFNo country store styles.

En quire at this office. 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. —Augusta Chronicle. 13F"Call and see the handsomest line of Cassimers, Waterproofs and Ladies’ Cloth ever shown in Americus.
