Tandam. The first tandam team of the season trotted by the Republican office late Friday evening. i Good. Price. Mr. S. M.

Mathis, with an Hjnabridged Worchester Dictionary, Hp an evidence of their esteem and Hfespect. This was done Friday rnorn- Hng the morning of his last schol- Bstic duties. It was a graceful tribute Hnd reflects credit to the givers and Hecepient. Friday 22nd. [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.

Meet the Doctor in Ameri 'Mon the 4th of January, 1883. 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— GOOD NEWS. My Store will be open every night during Christmas* week, until 11 o’clock, and as much lon ger as necessary. dec23-lt D. B. HILL. 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. ONION SETTS cheap, at W. T. Davenport & Son’s. NEW YEAR RECEPTIONS. Calls from BP.M.to 12 M.

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. On the 21st inst., at the residence of Mr. C. H. Mask, in Sumter county, by Rev. Wm. Tharpe, Mr. R. J. Mask and Miss Sallie Sherman, of Upson county, Ga. 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. RIPPLES. Wake, O, my soul, and hail the mom, For unto us a Savior’s born; See how the angels wing their way To usher in the glorious day. “Come, join the angels in the sky; Glory to God who reigns on high; Let peace and love on earth abound, While time revolves and years roll round!” A Merry Christmas to all. Opera Glasses for rent by James Fricker & Bro. Justice and mercy are the wings of love and peace. Charity makes downey pillows, sweet dreams and an easy conscience. Christmas gifts received at this office until five o’clock r. m., to-day. It will soon be two thousand years since Christ was born in Bethlehem. Listen for the Church bell to-night and rally to the call of the Superin tendent. How many hearts do you propose to make happy by dividing your abundance? Don’t forget that it is important for the Sunday-School to meet at the Church to-night. Opera Glasses for sale and to rent by James Fricke.* & Bro. Sunday afternoon, Christmas eve, there will be a public entertainment at the Methodist Church by the Sab bath School. Kind words, books and flowers are the angels of the household. Invite them into your hearth-stones and all will be happy. Our entire community will be pleased to know that Rev. J. O. A. Cook has been returned to this station for another year. The members of the Methodist Sab bath School are requested to meet at the Church to-night, for a final prac tice of the Christmas exercise. See that Santa Claus visits all the poor children in town. He has been generous enough to stock our market, and our people must be liberal in their purchases. If the weather permits there will be a practice of the Christmas exercise at the Methodist Church to-night. All 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 and takes it, while the other closes itself and the drop runs off. So heav en rains goodness and mercy as wide as the dew, and if we lack them, it is because we will not open our hearts to receive them. If you want a first class steam en gine for ginning and threshing, call on Harrold, Johnson & Cos. and ex amine their large stock of “Eclipse Engine” at their engine yard, Cotton Avenue. Engines on hand ready for use. Avoid delay. If any errors appear in the names of the ladies or the places at which they will receive New Year’scalls we would be glad to be notified that the list may be corrected in next Friday’s issue, and all who intend to receive give us notice that it may appear in the correct list. O, blessed health! thou art above all gold and treasure; ’tis thou who en larges the soul, and openest all its powers to receive instruction, and to relish virtue. He that has thee, has 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. — Franklin. Two or three of the most desirable dwelling houses in the city, within five minutes walk of the square, all in perfect order, will be rented low to a good tenant. Rent sl2 50 to S2O 00 per month.

Fleming, of the firm of Flem ing & Bro., Lynehburg, Va., tobacco nists was in Americus on Thursday. Mr. Fleming is a veritable Virginia gentleman. Dr. Fleetwood, one of the prominent men of Hawkinsville, was in Amer icus on Thursday night. We heard it whispered that he thinks of moving to Americus. Rev. B. W. Bussey, wife anddaugh ter, accompanied by Misses Mollie Willet, Mary Jordan and Master Osgood Cook, left for Columbus, on Friday night. Hon. Adam A.

John Allen and wife, of Smith ville, was in the city this week with their daughter Mrs. D. B. Hill. He expects to move to his Putnam plan tation soon in 1883, but promises fre quent visits this way. Get Your Pictures. Van Riper, the artist, is the man to make you feel happy. He can fix up the best pictures of your home folks, something to hang on the walls of your room and present the faces of those whom you love, when they are gone. Don’t forget that he expects to be absent a great deal of the time next year, and the time to get his services is now. For the I.lttlo Children of Americas. O’er meadow and mountain, through valley and lea, Old St. Nicholas is coming, so merry and free, His gay steeds dash onward, and prance through the air, For ’tis Christmas eve night, and ho’s no time to spare. His wagon is laden with good tilings we know, 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. Mrs. Wm. A. H. Sumter County Board of Education. Georgia, Sumter County. The Board of Education met to call by the President, and the bond of L. P. Howell was submitted, approved and accepted.
