hand him a quarter or a half, and you
will see a happy carrier boy.

Hng the morning of his last schol-

Hecepient.

[f Considering the swell of the streams
bend the thorough wetting, the coun
try received on Thursday night quite
la turnout of wagons, carts, and pedes
trians, wended their way into the
City and blockaded the business
l streets. The depression in the cotton
was hardly of force enough
Bto keep holders from letting it go, in
Hbrder to facilitate the festive purposes
Bfthe people. Hence the city had
Bkiite a business day.

Santa Claus.
He is an old coon, and has been
playing tricks and amusing children
for several hundred years. But his
adventure with the town clock is the
first effort at practical joking of which
there is any record. Two small boys
were discussing the reason why the
clock did not run. One remarked
that Santa Claus mistook the clock
steeple for a chimney, and in getting
in with his bundles to see how he’d
do Christmas eve night if he should
find any children below, he put his
foot on some of the running gear and
broke them. When he found out his
mistake and the mischief he had done,
he skipped, and the probability was
he would not come back here any
more, as he feared a process from the
county Judge and his officials. Young
lovers sometimes stop the old man’s
clock pendulum in the parlor, and
never notice that “time was no more”
until one or two o’clock a. m., and
then by way of being useful start the
pendulum again. Maybe old Santa
Claus wants to prolong the festivities
and stopped the clock in the interest
of revellers.
Ran Away.
On vVednesday last the horses of
Mr, Arthur Simmons,of Dooly county,
came into town at a lightning express
velocity. One ran against the city
hack of Sam Jones, his momentum
and the weight of the hack renched
the spokes from their moorings in the
right forewheel hub. The other was
arrested at the fresh meat grocery on
the south side of the square. Some
apprehension was felt in reference to
those who might have been driving.
An investigation showed no one hurt.
Mr. Simmons was precipitated to the
ground by the drop of the seat part of
the buggy, which by the breaking or
loss of the coupling bolt became de
tached. One of the horses found the
sidewalk from Dr. Eldridge to the
Engine house admirable ground for
the spread of his vim and velocity.
It was well there were no ladies or
children on the walk as he was no re
specter of obstacles in his wild fright.
Log Rolling.
Hon. Jno. N. Hudson had anew
ground of one hundred and seventy
five acres, upon which the logs had to
be heaped ready for the torch. Uncle
Newt is attached to the “Lang Syne”
ways and means; so he determined
upon a log rolling, a feat ure that dates
back to anti-bellum days. Last Tues
day was the day, and forty stalwarts
responded to the invitations sent out.
This was in Schley county, and a
day it was, a fine dinner, such
a one as the ex-Senator delectates in
himself; filled up the aching voids of
fifty men, all of whom will go again
if an opportunity offers. The ground
is ready for the plow. A brown jug
used to set off these occasions; but
uncle Newt may have left thatdepart
ment to some other person, as, well
as—

Academy of Music.
Maud S. has a remarkable record
for fleetness, but her velocity is only
trivial when compared with John
Thompson, the comedian, who makes
a tour of the world every evening.
He started again last night, on the
good ship “Academy of Music,” with
a full compliment of passengers,
every berth being taken, and a jollier
set of passengers we never saw before;
they laughed immoderately, and
there was not a single case of sea
sickness during the voyage. The only
serious occurrence during the trip
was a few who very nearly choked
with laughter, while others gave vent
to their emotion by shedding tears.
Asa comedian John Thompson can
not be surpassed; his versatility is as
tonishing, and imitation is out of the
question.—Buffalo (N. Y.) Express.
Reasonable.
A number of the traveling agents
and some others, complain at the
rough and crowded accommodations
they meet with on the railroads. A
couple of dozen colored and three
white men standing in a cab, which
is not unfrequently the case, is too
bad. It is almost impossible to over
come the odor da Af rique with per
petual smoking. If the road desires
to carry out the idea of an accommo
dation train at night, a coach with
seats would approximate nearer the
name.
Water Gin Burnt.
On Tuesday about 10 o’clock a. m
the water gin of A. H. Simmons, of
Dooly county, caught fire while run
ning, and was entirely destroyed.
Five bales of cotton, about one thou
sand bushels of cotton seed, and the
entire contents with the building went
up like a flash. It caught from fric
tion of the machinery.
Killed.
On Thursday about eleven a. m.,
Clara Wimbush, a little colored girl
ten years old, on Sid Baisden’s place
in Schley, was chopping on a tree.
Suddenly it began to crack, as it was
hollow, and she ran in her fright right
under the falling tree, and was in
stantly killed. There were other chil
dren playing around, but fortunately
none were hurt.

Two Scared People.
A country darkey stood looking
through the large plate glass door of
Fricker Bro’s. jewelry store, a few
nights since, at several gentlemen
who were inside. Just as Charlie
Fricker observed the darkey, that
individual raised a foot nearly as large
as an elephants, dashed it against the
glass with a crash—Charlie jumped
about ten feet, thinking the glass
smashed into a thousand pieces. The
terrified darkey looked at the door
and then at Charles, saying: “Boss,
fore God I didn’t know de glass was
dar; I jist thort it was a open dore. I
did.” Charlie was as smiling and
happy as could be when he saw that
the glass was not even cracked.
Leaving Us.
Prof. J. E. Mathis severs his connec
tion with our community as professor
in the Public Schools to-day. The
regret at his departure is very sincere
on the part of the pupils of the High
School. In this regret the whole com
munity participate, as he has borne
himself equal to all the requirements
of his position as professor,as well as in
the social, and conventional scale.
It is a pleasure to commend such a
man to the good of any community
when necessity requires a relinquish
ment of your own claims. Buena
Vista will gain all Americus loses
and have one more gentleman to
thread the walks of science and social
life.
Something that is Good.
Now that every one is looking
around for something that is really
nice, for Christmas meals, we rise to
remark that G. M. Hay is daily re
ceiving Mobile oysters and Mobile
plants, something that is as far supe
rior to the Savannah and Apalachico
la oyster as they are to fresh water
muscle. If you wish to eat something
that is really good, try the Mobile
Plant, and you’ll never eat any other
oyster. They are fat, juicy, sweet,
large and delightfully delicious, and
you’ll never regret the money you
spend in getting them. There’s noth
ing that will compare with the Mobile
Oyster or Plant.
Fair Ground and Ditch.
The ditch at and out side the Fair
Giounds has had an injunction served
on it. The water not being able to go
through it, has backed up over a con
siderable part of Lee street, broke
over in front of the gates, washed
away the dam, side walk, broke
through thefence and went off through
the grounds grumbling. There is a
good chance, for Pat. Erskine to dis
play his genius in raising the side
walk as well as the obstructing diffi
culties.
MARRIED.
In Macon, on Thursday morning,
Mr. K. M. McDonald, of Sumter
county, to Miss Georgia W. Moobe,
at the residence of her aunt, Mrs.
Brown. We congratulate the parties
in interest, and invoke every good
thing upon them.

Child Burnt.
Mr. D. C. Griffin’s little children
were playing in the yard, of his resi
dence, a few miles from Americus
last Monday. His little boy started
a fire in some brush, when a little
four year old girl got too near, her
clothing caught in a blaze that soon
enveloped her. Her wild shrieks
soon brought to her assistance, Mr.
Jesse Westbrook, and Mr. J. D. Stew
art, who succeeded in extinguishing
the fire, but not until the little girl
was so badly burnt, that her recovery
is very doubtful.

Let peace and love on earth abound,
While time revolves and years roll round!”

See that Santa Claus visits all the

their purchases.
If the weather permits there will be

the members of the school are earn
estly requested to attend.
There is dew in one flower and not
in another, because one opens its cup

because we will not open our hearts
to receive them.

they will receive New Year’scalls we
would be glad to be notified that the
list may be corrected in next Friday’s

give us notice that it may appear in

O, blessed health! thou art above all
gold and treasure; ’tis thou who en

little more to wish for! and he that is
so wretched as to want thee, wants
everything with thee.— Sterne.
The most trifling actions that effect
a man’s credit are to be regarded.
The sound of your hammer at five in
the morning or nine at night, heard
by a creditor, makes him easy six
months longer; but, if he sees you at
a billiard table, or hears your voice at
a tavern, when you should be at work,
he sends for his money the next day.

Old St. Nicholas is coming, so merry and free,
His gay steeds dash onward, and prance

For ’tis Christmas eve night, and ho’s no

His wagon is laden with good tilings we

For each little stocking, some hung in a row,
And sorry would be His kind heart I ween,
Should any little child pass unnoticed by him.
Though a cheery old chap, lie’s friendly and
true,
As far as he can, to give eacli one their due,
Of things they love best, just once in a year,
On glad Christmas day, so full of good cheer.
Now hear what he says: “My little friends
all,
I trust you'll be pleased with gifts large or
small,
And remember I beg you, not once to com
plain,
Or perchance I may never call on you again.
No w if you should meet with some poor little
boy
Or girl on this day, without gift or toy,
Wont you, in your turn, make them happy
and bright,
By giving them something?” Now I bid you
good night.
