ly pleasant and profitable to all.

Hon. David E. Butler.
The genial and expressive smile of
this cultured gentleman was recog
nized on our streets yesterday.
The Hawkinses.
Five or six of this name, grown and
in business, were to be seen at one
sight Saturday. Some of them might
run for the Legislature.
Elected School Commissioner.
Mr. L. P. Howell, was elected
School Commissioner on Monday, by
the Board of education, to fill the un
expired term of W. A. Wilson, re
signed.
If you need an overcoat examine
Wheatley’s stock. He has mere beau
ties and is selling them very cheap.
Irrepressibility,
Talk about irrepressibles. If I owed a
dozen and the claimant wouldn’t take
Ed. for the whole debt, he might sue
me to insolvency, said a man on the
street who had suffered severely from
Ed. L.’sjokes. Come at him again Ed.
A New Bank.

Americus, was organized on Saturday
last, by the election of Col. S. H.

Possessory Warrant.
A case before the County Court for
the possession of a horse, supposed to
be stolen, bought by a citizen from a
negro some weeks since. The Court
adjudged that defendant was bound
to produce the property. Hawkins &
Hawkins for the plaintiff, Hinton &
Mathews for defendant. Cetlorari was
sued out by defendant.
Alter Several Failures.
The clerk of the weather succeeded
at last in furnishing a very passible
article of ugly weather, setting in on
Sunday night, cold, drizzly, with a
breathing from Labrador. The de
mand for wood has been active with
a tendency on the part of holders to
bull the market. Over coats and rub
ber shoes for street use were found
decidedly useful.
DON’T buy your Black Cashmeres
until yon have examined Wheatley’s
stock. Many ladies have saved 15 to
20 per cent, by buying there.
Oil Factory.
This enterprise made its first move
ment Tuesday afternoon 28th. The
outfit has been placed in position at a
cost of $15,000. There are three com
partments, one for the machine to
furnish the seed in such regulated
quantity as is desirable. Belts and
buckets take these to another room to
the gin, which take off the residue of
lint, about 301t> to the ton. After
which belts and buckets take the seed
to another room to the huller, then to
the masher, thence to the boiler,
thence to the hydraulic press, from
which the oil runs through a pipe to
the tank which has a capacity of a
thousand gallons. This is the crude
oil, which is shipped to New York,
for refinement and sale.
The mechanism of this factory is
propelled by a thirty horse engine.
As this is the first factory establish
ed in our midst, we wish it that suc
cess which will ensure other enter
prises of a like character.
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.
Proprietary Changes.
The firm of Glover & Perry is dissolv
ed by the purchase of Mr. Perry’s en
tire partnership interest, real and per
sonal, by Mr. Glover, the senior part
ner. It is stated that Mr. Perry
thinks of leaving Americus and try
ing his fortune in Savannah. The
salt air is not always desirable or
healthy to the up country habitue,
and as Mr. Perry is one of our best
citizens we would regret to give him
up, and hope he will change his pur
pose and find it agreeable to continue
amongst us. A peculiarity in the
above change was its suddenness. It
was accomplished in ten minutes
without previous consultation or tak
ing stock. The senior valued the prop
erty and said he would give or take,
whereupon the junior, in ten minutes,
said ho would take the offer, and the
trade was made. There was no dis
agreement. Business had gone on
satisfactorily to each during their co
partnership.
A CARD.
We would respectfully invite your atten
tion to the late additions made to our im
mense stock of Clothing, Ilats, Shirts, Neck
and Underwear. They are of the bestmakes,
latest styles, nobbiest cuts and lowest prices.
The class of Clothing we keep is not to be
had in mixed stocks or small stores, and,
therefore, in soliciting your trade it is to in
troduce you to a line of goods fully examin
ed, tested and shrunk before manufacture,
so that in wearing they do not lose their
shape. Our garments are also sewed with
silk, and the quality of the trtmmings used
and the workmanship employed are always
of the very best and wo permit no misrep
resentations.
Our 812.00 all Wool Suit is a daisy. Our
50c unlaundred Shirt is a darling. Our Boys

Good Work.
Mr. W. A. Green, of Lee county,

of the stirring men of Lee, having

bushels of corn, twenty-two bales of
cotton, five barrels of syrup, about
sixteen hundred bushels potatoes,
peas, oats and other things in abun

mings to match.
Six Horse Load of Long Sweetning.
Yesterday morning a wagon drawn
by six mules, loaded with syrup, roll
ed into Americus from the plantation
of Hawkins & Herndon in Lee county.
This is an Eplurilms unum. There
will be a large yield in syrup this sea
son to subsidize the other provision
crops. The syrup is fine quality and
flavor and long experience has made
skilled workmen in this art of our
agricultural friends. The season has
also much to do in maturing the cane.
Compliment to a Young Lady.
In giving an account of a festival,
recently, at Browns Station, the Daw
son Journal gives the following:
An elegantly embossed cake was

The Negro at Home,
On Sunday the homo life of the
average darkey was displayed to good
advantago at the house of Dave
Bishop, who lives on Lee street, in
the village of Leeton. Quite a group
of young negroes were indulging in
hilarious laughter at the varying for
tunes of two boys bordering on twen
ty years of age who were indulging
in a trial of muscle and strength. The
contest waxed warm until one was
hurt, and changed* the struggle from
mirth to fight, between them. There
were sixteen pair of eyes observing
both the play and fight; but the laugh
ter never subsided. At length the
mother came forth with a hickory
switch, which is the faces of authority
in the negro family, and entered the
arena. She placed herself between
the combatants and in a loud voice
commanded the peace. Finding that
was not a good sedative she plied the
hickory first upon one then the other
until she brought the two bucks to
terms. She made them put on their
coats and return to the house to help
entertain the visitors. This broke up
the fun and (he smaller darkies ceased
their laughing. The old dame picked
up the billet that one was compelled
to throw aside and carried it in to
help “bile the pot.”

Change in Postal Route.
We are in receipt of the following
from Post Master B. A. Strange, of
Ellaville, Schley county:
An order has been received from
the Postmaster GeneraPto the con
tractor on route 15,210, from Buena
Vista via Ellaville to Americus, to
omit this office going one way. This
order takes effect December Ist. All
mails from that date will reach this
office at 9 a. m. Friendship and Jack
sonville will be put in this route, and
the mail will pass these points in the
afternoon to Buena Vista, and from
thence to Ellaville.

Use of the Sliding Scale.
The City Council, on Monday night
of last week, raised the license of the
wheel of fortune from one hundred
dollars a month to that sum a day.
This amounts to a prohibition, and
the wheel will have to make its revo
lutions in some other locality. Those
who are behind and love the exhilira
tion of the venture, together with the
owners of the wheel, may think this
a losing business to the city, but it is
better for the corporation to sustain
the loss of the license than for our
young men and those not so young to
lose their daily wages.

only last week, Judge Erwin declined

resigns. The “true inwardness” ol
this general dofiiug of the ermine by
first-classmen, is, that they can earn
more money at the bar. The salary
attached to the position is inadequate
to command, or, at least, to retain, the
best talent. We believe in economy—
in the right direction; but let the legis
lature beware lest, while they are econ

allow- waste and loss at the bung ot

Is a Rabbit Rite Poisonous?
The Virginia City (Nevada) Enter
prise says; “A man by tire name of
Otis, living on Horse Creek, Cal., w:is
bitten by a rabbit, from the effects of
which he almost lost bis life. He was
trying to catch tiro rabbit for liis little
boy when the animal bit him on the
thumb, but he took litdc notice of it
at the time About an hour afterward
his thumb began to pain him severely
and swelled rapidly, so that be sent
for a physician, who thought lie must
have been bitten by a rattlesnake.
The doctor, at first, could not believe
that it was the bite of a rabbit that
caused the trouble; so, to fully satisfy
himself, be bad several rabbits caught
with which lie experimented. He found
that the upper jaw contained a hollow
tooth, from which be extracted a very
poisonous fluid. He ascertained that
two drops of this fluid administered to
a lamb would kill it in less than an
hour.

of joy in every word I write. *
