Sudden Death in Andersonville.
Mr. Doc Harden of Andersonville,
fell on Friday last and was taken into
Mr. Win. Glovers’ store, in that place
and died in a few momemts. We were
not advised of the cause. Mr. Harden
was a man in middle life and was, or
had been marshal, of the town.
Religious Services
The week of prayer now being ob
served at the Methodist Church,
should not be neglected by Church
going people. It is an occasion that
should claim the attention of all, and
we hope the services, which will be
continued throughout the week, will
be well attended.
Change of Business.
Mr. Henry Smaw hasceased to com
pound prescriptions by the glass and
turned his attention to linear meas
ures. He will be pleased to meet his
friends on Forsyth Stseet, in the dry
goods house of Mr. Sam Cohen. He
is one of the most trust-worthy young
men in the State.
City Printing
The Sumter Republican don’t
feel disposed to enter into a scramble
for the city printing at a lower rate

would be pleased to do the work at a
fair compensation, thus enabling us
to discharge our obligations to the
city, and paying our city taxes.

The New Justice in the Old 16th of
Sumter County.
Every body don’t know that the
old 16th of Sumter is now supplied
in the person of J. S. Wilkinson esq.
with aN. P. ex-officio J. P. Justice
Wilkinson is one of our enterprising
young farmers, and will be found
competent, honest and quite a desid
eratum to that section. He will mar
ry those who come with a license,
collect your claims, and make any
body swear if it is necessary.
Artistic Bill Boards.
The two stands of paper of the Big
Four, one on G. W. Glover’s store and
one in front of the Barlow House, are
worked up in a handsome manner.
It is what is called cut letters and
figures. Mr. W. H. Mizener, the
business manager of the Big Four,
accomplished this work in about an
hour and a half. They attract more
attention than the common paper
used on the boards, consequently is a
better way of advertising. Mr. Mize
ner is an old “coon” at the business
and knows how to “whoop” up a
crowd.
Unjust.
Some weeks since the postal route
between this place and Buena Vista
was so reconstructed as to delay the
mail to Ellaville one day and at the
close of the week two days. Ellaville
is an incorporated town with a dozen
business establishments and feels the
change to such an extent that constant
complaints are heard. All the dailies
from Savannah, Macon and Atlanta
are held back. We hope the Post-
Master General will look into these
complaints and remedy them; they
are justly grounded. From this point
Friendship, Ellaville and Buena Vista
are in direct line and should get their
mails the same day.
Sheffield & Co.’s Establishment.
Attention is called to the double
column advertisement of the company
whose corporate name heads this
notice. It is perhaps the largest bus
iness house of the line in the State,
on the corner made by Jackson street
and Northwest corner of the Public
Square, having three stories with a
capacity of eighty by one hundred feet
for each floor. In the front seven
large windows seven by eight and a
half feet, with immense glass-lights
over which and the doors also are
large glass lights. Three doors eight
by ten feet, the iron pillars imitat
ing stone, give the house an imposing
bearing. The first floor is covered
with goods peculiar to their line.
Plows in the rough, all the accoutre
ments of the farm, hoes,traces, liames,
belting, saddles, cutlery, crockery,
paints, and collars. The cellar is filled
with nails and heavy goods. The
upper story with buggies, wagons,
&c. A continuation of the second floor
in another building of one hundred
feet by sixty-five is packed with rims,
wheels, spokes, hubs, and adjacent to
the last is a tinning manufactory. The
cellar to this house is also used for the
storage of heavy wares. It is simply
impossible to give an adequate repre
sentation of the proportion, either of
storage room orstores in the immense
establishment. It is sufficient to say
everything in all quantities in the
hardware line for a dozen counties can
be had at Sheffield & Cos. See adver
tisement and see the house and clever
gentlemen who do business in it, and
you will never send away for your
supplies in their department.

A Missionary Scrap-Book.
We refer our readers to a very
unique plan for raising Missionary
money in another column of this pa
per. We think it will be a very pleas
ing compliment to Dr. Allen, as most
of the names at home are familiar
to him, besides this, the amount re
ceived will go to the advancement of
the Missionary cause in China. Will
our brethren of the press please pub
lish the plan referred to and call atten
tion to the same, as all are more or
less interested in the good cause it
represents. Will the ministers also
interest themselves and act as agents
for this book, and send contributions
as directed in the plan submitted to
their consideration and inspection.
We are personally acquainted with
Dr. Allen and have kept a pace with
the magnitude of his wonderful works
in the mission field, and we know that
he will appreciate the scrap-book with
all the pleasure and gratitude of his
great heart.
Wheatley’s store is the busiest place
in town. The reason is that he has
the latest styles, sells the best goods
that can be had and his prices are al
ways the lowest. This week they are
doing an immense business in Cloth
ing, Cloaks and Dress Goods. Call
and see them.
Public Schools.
The Public Schools in Americus
have been increased this year by a
large per cent, on last year’s matricu
lations. The population inside the
corporate limits by the census of 1880
was some less than 6,000. This has
doubtless been increased during the
two and a half years that they have
passed. By a census taken by the pres
ent Superintendent, Mr. Jno. Neely,
of the children between the ages of six
and eighteen, there are nearly eleven
hundred,ninety-five percent.of whom
are now enrolled, and by the last of
February he expects to approximate
the entire number. This is unparall
eled in Public School statistics. The
organization is perfected and all the
corps of teachers are under headway
in their several departments. We
are satisfied to say and believe that
no city in Southwest Georgia offers
better school facilities, if as good as
those of Americus.

Wanted A Hat.
On Monday, a little negro of the
male persuasion, followed a crowd
of larger parties into Davis & Cal
laway’9 as though he was of the num
ber by right. After moving around
he found a hat that suited his fancy,
and started out, leaving the others to
make the settlement. Miss Lester
observed the movement, and called
Mr. Davis’ attention to it, who
doublequicked and overhauled the
thief, and made a recoupment. He
then told the boy that if he was in
dustriously inclined, and would make
tracks fast, he’d let him do so. He
did it satisfactory for the space of
three seconds, and was lost to sight.
•Bless You My Children, Bless You!”
Miss Myra, the fair correspondent
of somo of our contemporaries, of this
city, who has made considerable rep
utation as a writer, will, after to-day,
be moore so, at Fort Deposit, Ala.
Will Miss Myra allow us to extend
our congratulations, and may the sun
of prosperity ever shine on her home,
and her prayers for blessings be al
ways moore and moore, yet never
enough to pall the desire for the good
and holy influences that have ever
actuated her.
DON’T buy your Black Cashmeres
until you have examined Wheatley’s

The Paine Institute.
It is to be located in the city of
Augusta, Ga., and is to be so called in
honor of the late Bishop Robert Paine
of the M. E. Church South. The de
sign of it is to aid the colored people
in the matter of education. In De
cember 1870 Bishop Paine and Mc-
Tyier held a convention of colored
preachers in Jackson, Tenn., to organ
ize at their request the “Colored Meth
odist Episcopal Church in America.”
Two Bishops were then ordained and
a church fully organized, but the ed
ucational progress of the church has
not been satisfactory. The Methodist
Episcopal Church South, feeling it to
be a duty to help in this great work,
provided at its late General Confer
ence for the appointment of a Com
missioner of Education to assist the
Colored M. E.Church, in establishing
and endowing an Institution for the
education of teachers and preachers.
Dr. James E. Evans of the North
Georgia Conference has been appoint
ed the Commissioner, and Morgan
Callaway late of Emory College has
been elected President of this Institu
tion. Dr. Evans will spend next Sab
bath in our city at which time he
hopes to get the ear ofthe community
in the matter of the important work
entrusted to him. The citizens of
Americus should give him a hearing.
Ample room to store wagons and

A Cold Bath.
During Christmas week, we are
told, two impecunious Sumter county
darkies crossed the Flint, one night,
in a small jlugout, went to a gin
house a mile or so from the river,
rolled a bale of cotton down, put it on
thedugout and set sail for the Sumter
side, where they had a cart, with
which to propel the cotton to Ameri
cus, where they expected to sell it
and have a good time on the proceeds.
After their boat got about twenty feet
from the shore, being too heavily
loaded, it filled with water, and the
cotton bag floated off, with the two
darkies on top of it. In this fix they
got to quarreling and kicking their
legs and feet in the water, they pro
pelled their craft ashore, a few hun
dred yards below, on the side they
had just left. Being pretty tired and
cold, they built a fire and rested. At
day break they were rolling the cot
ton back to the gin house, went to the
overseer, confessed what they had
done, and promised to work for two
months apiece if he would let them
off and not tell on them. They are
now at work and will never try to
steal cotton in a small boat again.
WHE ATLEY is offering,this week,
a line of Cashmeres in black and col
ors, at 37 i cents—the best bargain in
the city. Also a line of choice colors
at 50 cents per yard, better than many
that are sold at 75 cents, with trim
mings to match.
USTTryiker Bro’s received something
new in the way of a Sewing Machine
last week. It is the “New Cabinet
Style” and justly so, as it has an iron
frame beneath the table. It has no
box top, or cover like all other ma
chines, but when not in use the ma
chine proper lets down below the sur
face, and forms a handsome table.
The treadle action is the same as that
used in Organs. There are two tread
les made of wood and handsomely
carpeted, and each one is worked in
dependent of the other. The entire
wood work is of highly polished wal
nut with French panels. The price
brings it within reach of all, and the
public are cordially invited to call and
examine the “New Cabinet.”
MONEY AND GUANO.
Besides negotiating loans for fanners
bearing interest at 8 per cent, per annum
with small expenses, and thus enabling them
to get out of debt and run their farms for
easli, I am selling the best Guanos, Dissolved
Bones and Acid Phosphates, manufactured
at astonishingly low prices. In fact, the
farmer who fails to get my prices before
buying will be doing himself and family a
downright damage. lam daily negotiating
loans and receiving my stock of Guanos.
You can haul your Guano out as you haul
your cotton in, and thus save time and
money. Come and see me.

How easy editor’s He.
THE EDITOR.
If the lawyer slept in the editor’s bed
When no lawyer chanced to be nigh,
And though he has written and naively said,
How easily editors lie,
He must then admit as he lay on that bed
And slept to his hearts desire,
Wliate’er he may say of the editor’s bed,
Then the lawyer himself was the liar.

AMUSEMENTS.
The Arion Club’3 Concert.
Americus has seldom had so fine an
opportunity of hearing good music
as will be offered to-morrow night at
the Opera House. Miss Moor has re
ceived everywhere,, from press and
people, the highest praise, and our
citizens may expect exquisite enjoy
ment from her singing. As for the
“Arion” what need we say? Living
and flourishing while similar institu
tions in our sister cities have been
languishing and dying. Under the
fine teaching of its able leader, and
by means of constant practical and
earnest devotion on part of its mem
bers, it has become, we think, the
finest organization of its kind in
Georgia, and our people have just
cause to be very proud of it. The
programme of to-morrow night offers
a rich feast to all lovers of music, and
we hope to see a crowded house, not
only as a compliment to the fair and
accomplished guest of the Arion’s,
but as adeserved tribute to that splen
did organization. Let there be a full
house to greet them.
Miss Laura Moor—Her Debut at the
Opera House Thursday Night.
Atlanta Phonograph.
There was a large and fashionable
audience to greet Miss Moor’s appear
ance Thursday night, and a much
larger audience would have honored
her if the weather had been more pro
pitious. A great many people came
from the adjacent towns to Atlanta,
as was evidenced by the many strange
faces, and Miss Moor received a regu
lar ovation from both%nvn and coun
try. As has been stated, Miss Moor
is a high art graduate of some of the
most noted masters of Boston, aniP
well did she preserve the honor. She
has a beautiful mezzo-soprano voice,
and in the several pieces which she
rendered the intonation was faultless,
with cadences soft and sweet. Taking
all things into consideration, Miss
Moor can refer with pride to her debut
at DeGive’s Opera House.
Miss Laura Moore.
LaGrange Reporter.
The Griffin Sun thus notices the re
cent concert of Miss Laura Moor in
that city. Miss Moor was enthusiasti
cally received and had several en
cores. Want of space requires omis
sion of the programme:
“A large audience assembled at the
Opera House Friday evening to hear
Miss Laura Moor in her grand com
plimentary concert. Miss Moor’s
many friends in Griffin, only a few of
whom attended her debutal concert
in Atlanta, have been anxious to hear
her since her return from Atlanta, and
took advantage of this opportunity.
The complimentary criticisms ofthe
Boston papers of her singing are all
richly deserved, for Miss Moor cer
tainly has a melodious voice and it is
under perfect management. Her
three years under the best musicians
of Boston were spent to great purpose.
The local talent of the city assisted
Miss Moor in her concert, and added
new laurels to their already fine repu
tation. * * * *
The people of the city, who had ex
pected much, were fully satisfied with
Miss Moor’s singing, and we doubt if
a single person under the sound
of her voice that was not struck with
its peculiar melody and sweetness.
We predict a bright future for Miss
Moor in the musical world.”
The Big Four.
On Friday night this Company, so
well known in Americus as to need no
description from the press, will appear
on the Boards at Glover’s Opera
House. It is probably the only show
in their lino for this season, as Skiff
& Gaylord have canceled their dates.
The high tariff of taxes with the other
heavy expenses attending such large
troops are driving them from the less
populous cities. If you want to pay
a surgical bill like an ex-Judge did
when this Company was here before,
from excess in laughing, go and see
the Big Four Friday night.
Morton’s Minstrels.
Atlanta Constitution.
“The Big Four” occupied DeGive’s
Opera House last night, and gave
quite a long programme to a good
sized audience, to which the perform
ance was satisfactory. The best songs
of the evening were, “The Day when
You’ll Forget Me,” by Mr. Frank
Newhall, and “Take Me Back to
Home and Mother,” by “Richards.”
The “Nearer My God to Thee,” and
“Come Where My Love Lies Dream
ing,” by Big Four brass quartette,
were very good. The ventriloquism
of Mr. Franklin was fair. The clog
dancing good, as was also the flute
solo by Mr. Kirnan. Mr. Morton’s
comicalities, songs and dances, were
all well received. He is a good negro
comedian and his fund of humor
seems inexhaustible.
Miss Katie Putnam's Generosity.
Miss Kate Putnam, who is shortly
to appear at the Opera House, did an
act in Selma that shows her kindly
and charitable heart. She was billed
to play in Selma two nights, and after
the sad death of Mr. Harry Bill, a
printer who committed suicide in that
city, she announced that her second
performance would be given as a bene
fit to his family. The following letter
to the Selma Times explains itself:
Editor Times: From the benefit so
generously tendered by Miss Putnam,
to the family of our young friend
Harry Bill, Mr. Kennieott, her treas
urer, has paid me the sum of two hun
dred dollars. All of the expenses
were paid by Miss Putnam, and out
of a house which would have been
overflowing but for the stormy night,
this very handsome sum was realized.
Miss Putnam has given, not out of
her abundance, for fortune has been
coy towards her, but out of a generous
heart, and set a noble example to us,
the neighbors and friends of those
whom God, in His providence, has so
mysteriously bereaved. A whole
community bid her God speed in her
chosen work, and will renew their ap
preciation of her, as a woman and
artist, should she favor us again with
her presence. R. M. Nelson.

What an Editor Says.
There are so many patent humbugs and
nostrums, in the way of medicines, adver
tised all over the country, that the masses
are skeptical and are loth to buy unless the
article offered for sale is known to possess
real merits; and on the other hand, names
of well known citizens are often forged to
certificates for the purpose of effecting sale
and palming off a worthless preparation.
Taking these facts into consideration, it
gives me pleasure to add my testimonial to
a medicine which I know from personal ex
perience to do ail that is claimed for it.

cific for lieuraligia and headache, put up in

Bright is the rosy blush of evening skies,
And bright the waves that ’neatli the
moonbeams flow;
Bright are the beams from Beauty’s laugh
ing eyes,
And blight the flowers that in the wood
land grow;
But brighter far the bloom of health to me,
On cheeks whose owners stick to U. H. P.
Teethina (Teething Powders) is
fast taking the place of all other rem
edies for the irritations of Teething
Children.
