A Good Showing.
Hardly a day passes that one can
not see country wagons on the streets
of Americus, loaded with corn in the
shuck, or fodder, which the owner is
trying to sell. Now we hear that
some of them are bringing in country
cured bacon. Mr. Joel. T. Hall
brought in some very nice home cur
ed bacon, Thursday, which he sold at
12* cts. per lb. This is a healthful
showing for farming prospects of the
present year.
Answer this.—ls there a person
living who ever saw a case of ague,
billiousness, nervousness, or neural
gia, or any disease of the stomach,
liver, or kidneys that Hop Bit ters will
not cure ?

The Mule and His Meanness.
On Wednesday morning Glen Louis,
who was working on the plantation
of Mr. Alex. Chappell, near Plains of
Dura, was riding his mule to work,
sitting sidewise like a woman. The
mule shied, letting the negro slip off.
One of the negro’s legs caught in the
trace chains, and the mule running,
he was dragged four or five hundred
yards and killed. His wife was rid
ing another mule, just behind Glen,
and she too was thrown, and dragged
a few yards, but was detached, in
some way, and was not badly hurt.
It is very strange that negroes and
white people do not learn wisdom
from the deaths that occur from rid
ing as a woman, on animals with the
gear upon them. Nine chances out
of ten, if they are thrown, while in
this position, they become entangled
in the gear, and are badly mangled if
not killed.
. Some Oats.
On the I Oth of last January, Geo.
Tornmey planted six bushels of oats
to one acre of land, and on the Ist of
June had them cut. They yielded a
little over one hundred bushels. He
says that the immense yield was
made by using, Eutaw, Gilt Edge
and Solid South Guanos—all of which
are sold by Hardy A Tornmey.

Not a Gen’lemun.
Friday afternoon a colored dandy
insulted a country negro, and told
him he was “a gen’lemun, whiles
you is a country clod hopper,” the
country negro invited the town
gen’lemun to a walk, and when he
returned he was as humble as ever
was Job. He said to the c-lod hop
per, “you is a gen’lemun whiles I is
a chicken thief. Please don’t hit me
again.”

will be run daily except Sunday which
will arrive at Americus, going up, at
8:50 p. m. and going down at 3:20 a.

only tri weekly, as will be seen by

Some Excitement.
Thursday evening about dusk, a
mule came running up Lamar street,
from the Muckalee, with a pair of
shafts dangling from the harness. It
was quickly caught and a,posse of
excited men started down the street
to find the dead body of the owner of
the mule. At last reports no one was
hurt,, and the mule had just got some
devilment in its head, whirled around
overturned a buggy and ran into the
city, with head and tail erect, to show
how devilish mean a mule could be—
nothing more.
Fine Horses and Racing.
Mr. S. A. Hughes, of Thomasville,
professional horse trainer, has been
in the city some time, at the Fair
Grounds, and has in charge live or six
fine horses, training for races to come
off on the 25th of this month. There
will be three trotting and three run
ning races between seme of the fast
est horses of the South. The races
were set for the 20tb, but as the day
conflicts with the Light Infimtry pic
nic, the time has been changed to the
25th. Bee® hand.
An Explosion.
Wednesday afternoon, two heavy
reports were ;heard in the northern
part of the city. They shook the
windows and rattled the houses- for a
considerable distance, and startled
the people generally. Some thought
the boiler of the Cotton Seed Oit mill
had exploded, but President Joe was
serene and cool, making oil by the
barrel, while others thought the en
gine of the Davenport Maaufacturir.g
Company had given a salute and go ne
to the happy land of Canaan, but Fred
Davenport was still stilling the sv /e et
fragrant perfume from the flowers he
had gathered. An investigation
showed that Pat Erskine. of the
street brigade, had found two 'unruly
stumps and placed a few oiu ices of
dynamite under them they are
stumps no more.

RIDING ON THE LEFTSIDE.
A young gentleman and lady, on a sweet
evening’s ride,
She on the right and he the leftside;
In using his whip to make his horse go,
Struck her on the nose which made it quite
sore.
The next thing he did, in the use of his
whip
Was to give her a lick that caused a swelled
lip,
And in changing his whip, lie don’t yet
know why,
His brow got a bruise that bunged up his
eye.
In turning a corner, and making his point,
His elbow protruded as though out of joint;
With a cautious quick effort, to gather the
rein
A hard puncli in the ribs, seemed to cause
her great pain.
Look here, Mr. Beau, in the height of your
speed,
You forget how you serve me through your
, pride in your steed,
Turn back now I beg you, a physician I
must see,
Should you ride any more please don’t call
for me.
The physician was seen, and remedies ap
plied,
A prescription left witli her to choose the
' left side.
And the driver’s bought wisdom with pru
dence and pride,
Though custom or folly, or what else may
betide,
Feels admonished by experience to keep
the right side.
Some querist may he quite desirous to know
Who it was treated the good iadv so,
Is there a man in the town who would not
delare,
It was not him a bit for lie was not there,
But should curiosity be ripe the whole
truth to know,
“He was" the same man that struck Billy
Patterson so.
Left handed persons must their ill fate
abide,
To claim an exemption or be laid aside,
And ladies, right or left, are exempted from
blame,
As they can’t use the whip and clucks don’t
make lame. McD.

ATTENTION !
Devoting ourselves directly and ex

Shirt business, and realizing the in
creased demand for perfect-fitting
garments of the best fabrics at mod
erate prices, experience now warrants
us in commending our stock as the
best in selection and quality, and low
est in price ever offered to the fash
ionable trade of this country. In this
particular we recognize no competi
tion. Our critical selections always
represent the prevailing metropolitan
fashions —an advantage that never
can be found in mixed stocks where
everything is kept. Our tailoring
challenges competition; our shirts
and drawers are perfection in fit and
never rip. Our straw hats, neckwear,
collars and cuffs are of the nobbiest
designs, and our sun umbrellas are as
light as a feather.
Encouraged in our efforts to give
the best goods for the least money, we

that every man or boy can find ex

A New Railroad.
Worth Star.
Our readers will remember that a
road from Ty Ty to Montezuma was
at one time lavorablv spoken of, and
we believe a survey of the route was
made. This road, so wc are informed,
has been abandoned for another which
will connect Ty Ty with Americus,
Buena Vista, Talbottou, Chalybeate
Springs, Newnan and Atlanta, A
glance at the map will show that this
is almost an air-line from Ty Ty to
Atlanta, and is the shortest route from
Atlanta to salt water by nearly, if not
quite, a hundred miles. It will pass
through the finest agricultural portion
of the State, and will “take in” the
immense pine forests of Dooly and
Worth counties.
The advantages oi this road are, in
deed, too numerous to mention in our
limited space, but we do not hesitate
to say that they are such as will most
likely insure its completion with the
least possible delay.
The syndicate which now owns the
B. A W. R. 11. is a most powerful one,
and the officers of the road are gentle
men of much experience in railroail
matters. Backed with almost unlimit
ed capital, these officers are planning
wisely and will execute promptly what
ever they see will benefit their company
and the people along their lines.
Our informant thinks it most likely
that work on the road between this
place and Americus will commence
some time during the present year.
It is a grand undertaking and de
serves to be crowned with the fullest
success.

AYER’S
Hair Vigor
restores, with the gloss ami freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
By its use lighter red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and baldness often,
though not always, cured.
It checks falling of the hair, and stimu
lates a weak ami sickly growth to vigor. It
prevents and cures scurf and dandrutf, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. Asa Ladies’ Hair Dressing, the
Vigor is unequalled ; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr. C. P. Buh hf.u writes from Kirby, 0.,
•fifty •>, 188- : ” Last tall my hair commenced
falling out, and in a short time 1 became
nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of
Ayer’s Hair Vigor, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started anew growth. I
have now a full head of hair growing vigor
ously. and am convinced that but for the
use of vour preparation I should have been
entirely bald.’*
•I. W. Bowen*, proprietor of the McArthur
i Ohio) Knt/uirt r, says : *• Ayer's Hair Vigor
is a most excellent, preparation for the hair.
1 speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy ami soft. The Vigor is also
a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction.”
Mr. Angus Faiuuaiun, leader of the
celebrated “ Fairbairu Family” of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from JSoston, Muss., /•’< b. 0,
1880 : “ F.ver since my hair began to give sil
very evidence of the change which fleeting
time procureth, 1 have used Ayer’s Hair
Vigor, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness —a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors. actors, and in fact every one who lives
in the eyes of the public.”
Mrs. f >. A. Prescott, writing from IS Elm
St., f'hartestiui'n, Muss., April 1-1, 1 SHI*, says :
“ Two years ago about two-thirds of my liair
came otf. It thinned very rapidly, and I was
fast growing bald. (>n using Ayer’s Hah:
Vigor the falling stopped and anew growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. It
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. 1 regularly used but one bottle
of the Vigor, but now use it occasionally as
a dressing.”
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of Ayer’s Hair Vigor, it
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti
cal of its value.
