Prefers her Husband.
Last Friday night when the Big
Fours were to exhibit at the Opera
House, a young lady received a nob
requesting the pleasure of her compa

she was married that atternoon, so
with many thanks for the invitation,
she concluded the note with tin
statement that she preferred the com
pany of her husband. The young

caused a collision between the dar

him to the pavement. The darkey’s
explanation was a plea of surprise and
wanted a continuance. Marshal Lin

Jaundice,
This disease, if so it may be called,
is now quite common. From what
is said of the sensation experienced
by those who have it, there is alto
gether a better state of comfort to the
blessed in the ultimate beyond; yet
but few would be willing to make the
exchange, They had rather stay in
Georgia and have the jaundice than
go to Texas or Heaven and not have
it.
Sweets for the Sweet.
We would respectfully advise the
ladies that Mr. J. J. Hanesley has
just received a lot of fresh pure can

in Americus. He has something new,
such as candied pine apple, ginger

and best chocolate you ever tasted,
and a numerous assortment of other
kinds that will do your heart good.
Give him a call and try his goods.

Seeking Employment.
A colored man on the search for
employment, approached one of our
established merchants on the square.
“Well, sir,” said the merchant, who
is proverbially polite, especially when
there is a prospect for trade, no mat
ter how humble the trader. “What
can Ido for you?” The man replied
“Mr. G. do you want a man todrive
your dray or superintend your store?”
G. thought the store needed a super
intendent, and so employed the man.
Tuesday he was rollingin wheat bran
on a truck, satisfied with the posi
tion of superintendent.
Sad
On Sunday night last the Messrs
Edmundson’s of this place received a
telegram announcing the sudden
death of a much loved sister, Mrs.
Emma Holt. She was a widow of
several months, and leaves two lovely
girls, twins about fourteen months of
age. The deceased was much esteem
ed and loved by all those who know
her well. She was a member of the
Methodist Church at LaGrange, Ga.
She was in her twenty-fifth year. We
extend the condolence of the Repub
lican to those most bereaved. Truly
in the midst of life we are near death.

Movements in the Country.
A short excursion in the country
presented the fact that notwithstand
ing the very unpropitious weather du
ring the twelve or fourteen days just
passed, the farmers’ are turning over
the sod in preparation for the crop of.
1883. With the improved appliances
now in general use, the soil has been
deepened and the general yield im
proved a respectable per cent. This
will doubtless be still further increas
ed the coming year under the inten
sive idea. A bale of cotton to the
acre is no uncommon matter in Sum
ter county. Fifty bushels of corn oc
casionally and from forty to fifty
bushels of rust proof oats very com
mon even over an area of fifty or
more acres. The improvement in ag
riculture is predicated on a healthy
application of observation to the ne
cessities of the case. Such a state of
facts presents a casus complimenti ,
something with which to be satisfied,
indicating a fixed and certain pro
gress towardsthathigh grade of thrift
which underlies a proper civilization.
This is better for the commonwealth
as agriculture lies at and is the foun
dation of all progress and improve
ment whatsoever. When the earth
is treated right “it tells the truth” its
fecundity is increased while men and
beasts rejoice in fatness and thank
God for its blessings.

Pleasant Bedrooms.
There is nothing more indicative
of refinement and a genuine culture
in a family than bright, cheerful and
tastefully decorated bedrooms. Taste
ful decorations do not necessarily
mean expense, and it is possible to
make a chamber look very pretty at
a very small outlay. Indeed, in
many instances no outlay at all will
bo required beyond what would be
incurred under any circumstances.
The women of a family, especially,
are apt to pass a good portion of their
time in their bed chambers, and iti
some households the sleeping apart
ments are used alike forsewing rooms
sitting-rooms and nurseries. It is
worth while to obtain all the innocent
pleasure we can find in this life, and
there can be no doubt that life is
pleasanter, if most of its hours are
passed in cheerful looking apart
ments.
A Talk About Eating.
Some Atlanta man made himself
famous by eating thirty quails in as
many consecutive days. Another in
some other city North has entered
upon the enterprise of double that
number. Now Americus enters the
list and says she has a man who can
eat consecutively as many bananas as
the next. To illustrate Mr. Hanesley
a confectioner, challenged a young
man to the effect, if he would pay fifty
cents he might eat as many bananas
as he wished. Isham put himself out
side of thirty-two of the tropical deli
cacies. If that number don’t take the
cake, he will try his metal again.

Memories of the Past.
Long lines of red brick now attract
attention on the East side of the
square. They suggest and bring to
mind similar red lines, made of red
clay, behind which ramparts, many
yet living were want to keep watch
and resist the approach of a too for
midable enemy. These have sad
memories and are in marked contrast
to the suggestions of peace and com
merce wh'ich the red bricks bring up.

Guano Buyers.
Say what you may adverse to the
use of guano, the trade has suffered
no relaxation. For days, rain or
shine wagons loaded with guano have
been leaving Americus in all direc
tions. Fertilizers of such brands as
have established reputation will be
brought and are of ready sale here
now and doubtless will continue in
demand until April next. The con
dition of the roads is certainly unfa
vorable to the transportation of heavy
lading, yet nothing daunted, the wag
ons and carts Come and go just the
same loaded with a combination of
the vilest odors that ever horrified
the human sense.

Advice to a Young Lady.
A young lady writes to “Brick”
Pomeroy as follows: “Would I he safe
in marrying a young man whom I
love, and who professes to love me,
and is handsome, well educated, and
has plenty of this world’s goods, hut
is addicted to strong drink, but says
he will abstain from it after marriage,
when he has sown his wild oats? I
am an orphan, and write you for ad
vice.”
Pomeroy answers as follows: “You
had better get in your coffin, pull the
lid down yourself, and be consecrated
to your earth, than marry the man
who drinks. There are thousands of
poor women made wretched by lis
tening to the promises of reformation
after marriage. If you do not want
to get into your coffin, take the most
obnoxious piece of old meat that you
can find and take it to your bosom
for a husband, rather than marry a
man who is debauched, degraded and
debased by strong drink.”

Katie Putnam.
Though Miss Katie Putnam is a
great favorite with our amusement
loving people, the clerk of the weath
er did not particularly favor her dur
ing her Atlanta engagements, yet her
popularity was attested to by the fact
that through rain and snow good au
dience went to the opera house to her
entertainments. At matinee, and a
crowded house yesterday afternoon,
she presented the dramatization of
Dickon’s novel, “The Old Curiosity
Shop,” assuming in the duel role of
“Little Nell” and the “Marchioness.”
It is only necessary to say she “car
ried the house.” Atone moment her
face was invested with a sad, serious
look, and she had all the tenderness
and winning manners of the poor
child, the next moment she caused
much merriment by the mischief,
dollery and awkwardness of the
“Marchiness.”
In the child of the regiment which
was presented last night, Miss Katie
Putnam did not disappoint her
friends in their expectations, while
her support appeared to better ad
vantage perhaps than at either pre
vious advantage perhaps than at ei
ther previous performance. In “The
Youth Who never Saw a Woman,”
she did some very charming acting
and pleased her audience considera
bly. The performance last night
closed the engagement in Atlanta.—

In educational enterprise Ameri
cus ranks next after Atlanta. Her
public schools have been increased
tills year by a large per cent on last
year’s matriculations. The popula
tion inside the corporate limits by
the census of 1880 was some less than
0,000. Tliis has doubtless been in
creased during the two and a half
years that have parsed. By a
census taken by the present superin
tendent, Mr. John Neely, of the chil
dren between the ages ot six and
eighteen, there are nearly eleven hun
dred, ninety-five per cent of whom
are now enrolled, and by the last of
February he expects to approximate
the entire number.
The above which we clip from the
Cms i'ution of the 13th'inst.,appeared
in the Sumter Republican of the
10th. There is no complaint against
the use of theJJRE publican items, if
correctly stated and credit given. It
was not stated however, that Ameri
cus ranks next to Atlanta, but rather
that this was unparalledin school sta

Colds seem to be an epidemic—
nearly everybody has one.
Judge R. C. Meadows lias made a

the Sears building.
There was to have been a Royal
marriage in our county last night, but
cannot say more as yet.
The Ellaville boys think the place
is on a boom, as thero arc several

Tax Collector J. H. Stevens while
returning from Andersonville, last
Friday, accompanied by his son, one
of his buggy wheels suddenly dropped
into a hole in the road, and the seat
having no railing around it, he fell
out, breaking his collar bone.
We see from our exchanges that one
Henry Wimbish will, sometime in the
near future, suddenly suffocate at a
neck-tio festival given for his especial
benefit in the Bibb county jail yard.
We would like to know if he is col
ored, and the one who belonged to
Mr. Thus. Wimbish, of Schley county.
The mail route via Ellaville, is the
most ‘measley’ affair that we know of,
and it is likely to be worse—going and
returning one road one day, and the
other the next. How will it do to be
gin at Friendship in the a. m., passali
of the offices via Ellaville and return
that p. m., leaving Buena Y T ista entire
ly off this lino?
We are informed by counsel for the
plaintiff, that the much talked of suit
of Miss Kittle Reilly vs Mr. Z, T.
Baisden, will be started in earnest in
a few days. This may boa dirty case
for clean people; but we hope that it
will not cost the county as much as
the now pending case of a like nature.
It seems that official church members
have unfortunately appeared in suits
where the worldly would flinch. More
