Resignation.
At a recent meeting of the Ameri
cus Library Association the resigna
tion of Miss Sallie Wheeler was hand
ed in to take effect shortly. Appli
cations for the position of Librarian
must be in writing and handed in by
the 20th instant, that the candidate
selected might receive instruction
under the present incumbent before
entering regularly upon her duties.
F. A. Gyles, Pres. A. L. A.
Very Acceptable.
We are indebted to our good friend
Mrs. A. C. Bell, for a number of fine
cantaloupes and the finest watermel
on we have seen in many'years. Some
vegetables also helped to increase our
indebtedness. Mrs. Bell lias a big
heart and it is in the right place. She
never forgets the needy. Please ac
cept our thanks and best wishes for
your kind remembrance of us.
Sighing for Happiness.
One of the fastidious young clerks
in a certain dry goods house has this
conundrum inscribed on the walls ol
his den: “What is home without a
wife?” We have seen some bachelor
dens that we thought the ante-room
to Hades, and then we have seen
some young men who were just the
right ones to fill these dens; but the
elerk who sighs for an angel to make
his den a paradise, could not he class
ed in that category.
Fine Stock.
Many of the farmers of Sumter are
engaged in stock raising, horses, hogs,
cows, &c., and some as fine colts as
can be produced in the world, are the
results. Mr. Albert Brady lias two,
that will be hard to beat. M. L.
Lackey and J. T. Howe, W. W.
Hooks, and some others, will show
colts that for speed and beauty of
form are incomparable. We learn
that there will be a colt show at the
Court House in Americus on the Ist
Saturday’ in August. So we hope
there will be a large lot of colts on
exhibition.
Fight at a Colored Church.
At the colored church County Line,
located near the Lester place in the
Northern portion of Sumter county,
last Sunday. Elonzo Baisden and
Richard Black, both of Schley and
married, had a little fight about a
girl. There were no damages done
of a serious nature, but one of the
deacons, we learn, has been making
some efforts to have three or four of
the parties arrested to keep “de
church fum bein’ posecuted.”
The Drouth.
For two weeks or more, this sec
tion has been sweltering under the
hot est of hot suns. No rain has fallen
and the dust is two or three inches
deep in the streets. Already the voice
of planters is raised in complaint that
the cotton will shed the bolls that
have already formed whether it rains
or not. Corn, which was considered
safe three weeks ago, is now sure to
be short. And yet, with all this, we
dare say, that Sumter county will
come out at the end of harvest, with
more corn, cotton, peas, cane and po
tatoes than was ever raised in her
limits before.
Married in a Great Hurry.
“The quickest courtship on record,”
said one old resident, “was that of
Dr. Nick McDowell, who, driving
along the street in his buggy oneday,
saw a beautiful girl standing at the
window. He immediately stopped
and hitched his horse, rang the bell,
inquired the lady’s name, was usher
ed into the parlor, announced his own
name, said he was ‘pleased with her
appearance and wished to marry her
at once.’ Nothing but the knowledge
that she was actually in the presence
of the celebrated physician kept her
from fainting. To her plea of ‘sur
prise at this unexpected’announce
ment’ he only replied, ‘Now or nev
er.’ When she asked to ‘take a week
to consider,’ he said, ‘I am going
down the street to attend a critical
■•ase and have no time to spare right
now.’”
“ ‘Give me a day, then.’ ”
“ ‘l’ll tell you what I’ll do. When
ram through with this professional
visit I’ll drive around and get a
preacher. If you’ve made up your
mind to marry me by that time all
right!’ and he left her breathless and
unable to articulate another word.
When he returned they were quietly
married. ‘No cards'.’ ’’—St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
We can beat that in Georgia. A
few months ago a very handsome
young lady arrived in Americus from
the upper part of the State, and learn
ing that a certain young man was in
the city, addressed him a note at the
Republican office, where ho was
working, stating that she wanted to
see him, and that he would find her
at the store of Messrs. Davis & Calla
way. The young typo immediately
laid down his composing stick and
went to the place where the young
lady had appointed to meet him.
They met. After a few minutes con
versation she handed him a fifty dol
lar bill. lie immediately went to
the Ordinary, invested $1.50 in a li
cense, then procured the pastor of
the Methodist church, and in less than
two hours from the time of meeting
they were man and wife. Now, say
that Americus is not entitled to the
cake.
Fence Election.
Below we give the official vote of
Sumter county, held on Friday, the

“Fence” or “No Fence.” It will be

The Georgia Warehouse.
Messrs. Council & Williford speak
a few words to their farming friends
of this section regarding their new
warehouse, just completed, on the
public square by Glover’s Opera
House. These gentlemen are sober,
reliable and well qualified for their
business. Nor can truer or more re
liable men he found in the State—
they ask a share of patron age and will
have it, for they are deserving, hon
est and accommodating. Bead ad.
Is He An Impostor.
A man representing himself as a
deaf mute and a sufferer from the
Sumter county cyclone, under the
name of W. W. Cloman, collected nu
merous quarters from our people yes
terday. A dispatch from Thomaston
to the Constitution declares that the
man is a fraud and a beat. On show
ing him the dispatch, the gentleman
indignantly scribbled the following
refutation:
“Any one beieaves thatisno better
then the man is who got it up, any
Damfool can see lam afflicted if he
was not brought up in the woods.”
All the same, however, there are
several persons in this neck of woods
who have their doubts about it, and
we would like to know if Sumter
county has missed any such person
lately.— Griffin Sews.
Yes, he is not only an impostor,
bill a veritable fraud. We have
shown the above article to some gen
tlemen who were born and raised in
Sumter and they are old enough to
know, they say that no such man
ever lived in the county. A few
months work in the chain gang will
restore his voice, if not hie honesty.
Try it.
Cotton and the Caterpillars.
Cotton is about two weeks later this
year than usual, and owing to the
recent propitious seasons the plant is
tender and luxuriant, offering a
tempting morsel to the festive cater
pillar which the hot sunshine of July
and August bring into life. On ac
count of the peculiar conditions that
surround the crop, great apprehension
is felt by cotton men, now that the
cotton worm lias made its appearance
in countless numbers in Florida, and
are proving very destructive, and
spreading rapidly. The worms are
several weeks earlier than usual iu
making their appearance. The fol
lowing application has been used very
successfully in destroying the worms:
Mix one pound of Paris Green with
forty gallons of water, and apply it to
the cotton with a wisp broom, made
of broom corn. It is said that this
application will surely kill the worms,
without injuring the plant. One man
can easily apply the poison to four
acres per day.

A pleasant social party was given
at the beautiful Lawn Tuesday after
noon, complimentary to Miss Lollie
Fort, the pretty little daughter of
A. T. Fort, of Lumpkin. A number
of the lads and lasses from the city
were in attendance and they all had
a delightful time.
“My dear,” said Mr. Jones to his
wife, “you are mighty free to call
everybody a fool. Can you tell me
what a fool looks like?” “Yes, I can,
hut I won’t,” she replied angrily.
“Why not, love?” “Because you can
look in the glass and see for yourself.
That’s the way I found out.”
The most absent-minded man was
not the man who hunted for his pipe

stood behind the door.
“What influence has the moon on

ers want to lie down and die every
day at 4 o’clock.
A young lady, who made the

of the present day are just splendid.”
That girl will grow up to marry an
editor, who comes near perfection

A man carrying samples of photos
painted on proceiain, called at this
office Tuesday afternoon, and asked
permission to go into the composing
room to show his wares. He stood
in front of the cases, expatiating on
the artistic finishing of the photos,
but the men heeded him not. When
ho began to speak his voice could be
heard through the room, but at the
expiration of fifteen minutes, it had
died away into a hoarse whisper and
with a dejected look he slunk out of
door mattering blessings on his inap
preeiative audience.
Rev J. G. Bryan.
This well-known colored divine lias
just received a unanimous call to the
pastorate of the colored Baptist church
at Milledgeville. This church has
long been shaken by dissensions, and
Parson Bryan has been selected as
the one best calculated to phur oil
upon the troubled waters. He served
the Bethesda church of this city for
eleven years. During that time he
instructed his congregations wisely.
He resigned the charge of that church
about four years ago, and was engaged
as State Missionary of Georgia, which
position he holds at this time. He is
also President of the State Baptist
Convention (colored) of Georgia.

We clip the following notice from
the Tolland County Leader of the
7th of June, published at Rockville,
Conn.: “The editor of the Sumter
Republican, of Americus, Ga.,
boasts of having corn 10 feet high in
his garden, while people up this way
have hardly done planting. By the
way, the Republican editor needn’t
take any ‘back talk’ from anybody;
lie gets out a wide-awake paper: and
when we read in his last issue that he
had been at the printing business over
half a century, we just pulled off our
hat and threw it into the corner. A
man who for 50 years has wrestled
with types, presses, shooting sticks
and shooting irons, galleys and gals,
all kinds of help from devil to fore
man, angry subscribers, pied forms
and pie in general, is entitled to the
respect of the craft.”

Will Ilawkes made a speecli in the
House of Representatives last Satur
day that seems to have struck a cord
in every heart that heard it. The
correspondent of the Savannah Morn
ing News says:
The bill giving dead bodies to med
ical colleges was about to pass, when
Mr. Hawkcs, of Sumter, made a most
eloquent and feeling speecli against
the measure, which turned the tide
overwhelmingly and defeated the bill
by 17 yeas to 92 nays.
The Telegraph and Messenger cor
respondent also adds a word of com
mendation thus:
In the House this morning the bill
to give dead bodies in public institu
tions, not claimed within twenty-four
hours after death to the medical col
leges of tine State for dissecting pur
poses, provoked some warm discus
sion on its third reading. Mr. W. M-
Hawkes, of Sumter,made au eloquent
speech in opposition to the hill, bas
ing his objections to it chiefly because
it would include the bodies of those
who died in the state Lunatic Asylum,
the Asy luin for the Blind and for the
deaf and dumb.
On a vote the bill was defeated by
a very large majority, and the medi
cal colleges will continue to procure
their ‘•‘stiffs” in the old way.
The people of Americus knew that
Billy was always ready and full of
eloquence, never boastful, but as shy
as a maiden. When he speaks he
always does it with vim and truth.

“Returns” Still Coming In—Our Expe
rience.
From the boom some of our papers
of the State were making about the
truck business, and from the quantity
planted, we opened a produce office
for the purpose of buying and ship
ping vegetables. We had circulars
printed and advertised in each of our
papers to let the farmers know that
they could sell their truck to us, or we
would ship for them at a small com
mission.
We commenced paying one dollar a
bushel or three dollars a barrel for
potatoes. We made small shipments
to various markets in order to see
which was the best paying market.
We give you returns for our first
shipment of four barrels to Hallow,
Newman & Cos., Chicago:
Four barrels cost 812.00
Barrels 50
Labor 25
Drayage 20
§12.95
Four barrels sold for §13.00
Freight $7.40
Drayage 35
Commissions 1.30 3.95
Loss § 9.00
Not hearing from this shipment in
six weeks from the time they were
shipped, we continued to pay same
prices.
Our next shipment was three bar
rels potatoes to Jelks, Brown & Cos.,
Cincinnati:
Three barrels cost .. .$9.00
Barrels 37
Packing .. 25
Drayage 15
$9.77
Three barrels sold for $9.00
Freight $4.48
Drayage 15
Commission ... 45 3.92
Loss §5.85
After receipt of these account sales
we saw that we could not pay more
than 25 cents a bushel for potatoes.
We still found we could buy them
even at that low price. The farmers
had them and were obliged to dispose
of them, as they would not keep.
We will give you a few of our re
turns for potatoes bought at twenty
five cents a bushel, or seventy-five
cents a barrel. One shipment of nine
barrels to Jelks, Brown &. Cos., Cin
cinnati:
Nine barrels cost §0.75
Barrels 1.13
Packing 1.00
Drayage 50
89.3s |
Nine sold for 810.00
Freight to Atlanta §5.10
Drayage 50
Commission 1.00 3.40
Loss 85.98
Another shipment of eight barrels 1
to Isaac Locke & Cos., Boston.
These eight barrels were assorted
with great care. One of the barrels
would weigh one pound to the potato,
another would average three quarters
of a pound to the potato, and two
barrels would average half a pound.
The other four barrels were a fine as
any made in this country. Here are
the returns for tliis shipment :
Eight barrels cost $6.00
Barrels 1.00
Packing and assorting 1.00
Drayage 50
$8.50
Eight barrels sold for— .. $8.75
Freight $7.12
Cartage 40
Commission 70 53
Loss §7.97
We give a few figures and facts of
our experience in buying. The senior
shipped twenty-four barrels of his
own crop. This shipment liked over
nine dollars paying out. Our experi
ence in shipping other vegetables was
about thesauieas potatoes. We did not
ship to markets at a distance for
fear they would perish on the way,
most our shipments were made to
Atlanta, and in number of instances
we were notified that our cabbages
and other truck had to be dumped at
our expense. We made a shipment
of eight hundred pounds of cabbages
for Mr. W. R. Dorn, we were ad
vised that the entire let was dumpt
ed. We could give you further ex
perience, but have not heard from
over two hundred dollars worth ship
ped to one house in Atlanta over two
months ago.
We make the above statement to
show our friends that we were com
pelled to pay the low prices we did
for their “truck.” Now who will
not say this is a lovely business, and
who would not continue in it longer?
Telegraph and Messenger is right one
time, but “truck” is a good thing.

ANOTHER HEAVY CYCLONE
Has swept over our people, and like those
in the larger cities of the country, they are
at last appreciating the advantages of trad
ing with stores carrying special lines of
goods, where everything modern is pre
sented.
No man or boy in the habit of wearing
first class, nobby goods now thinks of hunt
ing in haul ware, grocery or dry goods stores
