Sep. 10-td. POLITICAL MEETING. The voters of Sumter county without respect of color, who desire good gov ernment, and are opposed to the Radicall administration, are requested to meet at the Court House iu Americus, on TUESDAY, the 11th of October (court week) for the purpose of nominating candidates for the Legislature and trans acting other business, sept. 22. td.

We hesitate not to say that noplace in Sqnth Western Georgia holds out greater inducements for persons seeking business nrd homes, than Americas. Situated os it is iu one of the liylpiiMt portions of this section of the State, with the best and most refined society, proverbial for its intelligence, hospitality and sociabili- ty, celebrated for the number of her schools for both sexes, with a flourishing female college, well provided with churches of various denominations, all of which go to make it one' of the most delightful and pleasant places iu this section of the State.. For the past five years the population of Americus lias increased five hundred per cent Why then should it not con tinue on the same road to prosperity for the next five ? There is a better pros pect at this time for its future prosperity, than there lias been in the past Let ns look at it in its future career. In the first place, we have in anticipa tion the construction of three railroads from this place to other directions, one t o Newnan, through EUsville, Buena Vista, Talbotton- and other rich counties in the up-country, another to Florence near the Alabama line, running through Pres ton, Lumpkin and other sections of the cotton region; and a third to Isabella in connection with the Albany and Bruns wick Railroad. The completion of these roads will necessarily l>e tho means of establishing a machine shop, thus bring ing to Americus a large number of indus trious mechanics, the earnings of whoso labor will all be spent in our midst As population increases, so will tho demand for houses and land increase in propor tion, and all kind of business will of nec essity improve. There is no class of our population that builds up a city more than the mechan ic, and it is all important that induce ments be held out for them to settle among ns, and nothing is more calcula ted to invite them than the establishment of factories and workshops of various kinds. How important it is then, that our citizens, and business meu especially, should come up and give these various enterprises their united support. Again. We shonld invite the planter to bring his cotton to Americus by giving him os much for it as he can get in any other market. The facilties for baying cotton at this point are equal to any place in this sec tion, and cotton bnyers will give as mnch for the staple as can lie obtained else where. Our Ware-house accommoda tion for storing cotton cannot bo sur passed by any in the State. Again. To build up Americus, our citi zens should do their trading at home and support our own merchants instead of sending to Macon or Savannah for articles that can be bonght as cheap here as in either of those cities. We have as large houses here in almost every branch of trade as there are in Macon, and they should be sustained. We don’t believe in sending our money away from home to assist in enriching other merchants at the expense of onr own. It is suicidal to do so. We assure the citizens of Sumter, Lee, Schley, Webster and other counties tribu tary to Americas, that our merchants well snpplied with large stocks of goods of every description, and that they fill any bill of groceries or dry goods however large. We might mention a number of bouses in Americas that can duplicate any bill in Macon, Savannah, or New York, for Dry Goods, Groceries, Hard-ware and Cutlery, Drugs, Medi cines, Paints, Oils, Wagons, Carriages, Baggies, Harness, Boots and Shoes, Furniture, Crockery and China Ware, and in fact every branch of trade. While this is all true, our merchants shonld not be idle but shonld invite tho trade of this and surrounding counties, by judicious advertising. By this means, a heavy trade will be done in Americus this fall and winter. Our business meu should commence advertising their wares at once, so as to let the people of the surrounding country know that yon offer special inducements to purchasers. Do not by all means, hide your, light under a bushel. Our advice is not for selfish purposes, but for the good of onr merchants, and the prosperity of Americas. Fair Notice.—The Secretary of the Central Georgia A. & M. Association, would hereby notifiy all who propose Webster Superior Court.—Bat lit tle civil business was done in this Court last week, almost the entire time being' consumed in the trial of criminal Some four or five persons were convict ed of various offences, and sentenced to the Penitentiary from one to ten years. Among those sentenced, was a negro'boy about 9 years old, and a girl about 13 years of age. The charge of Judge Harrell to the Grand Jury was well-timed and contain ed sound legal advice to that body. From conversation with a number of leading farmers of the county, we learned that the cotton crop of Webster will not be much over half a crop. Other crops however are all good. our friend Smith Davenport and his very estimable lady and daughter, well as to the beautiful and accom plished Miss M. H , me we under lasting obligations for their many acts of kindness shown us during onr visit to Preston. We shall never forget, their kindness. On Sunday night last, we listened to a sermon from our young fellow-towns- i, Mr. Peter S. Twitty, in the M. E. Church of the city. His text was a por tion of the 3d verse of the 10th chapter of Isaiah—“Say ye to the righteous it shall be well with them, ” from whicln he delivered an eloquent and suggestive ser mon ; in fact it would have done credit older and more experienced preach- It is not onr intention to give even a brief synopsis of the speaker's words, we refer to the matter simply that commendations may go to strengthen and cheer our young friend in the course he has taken, and to assure him he has chosen tho path that shall lead him to a crown of endless glory. We predict that distant day ho will rank with the most eminent divines of the State.

Arthur's Lady’s Home Magazine for October contains a brilliant programme for the coming year. It is the announced intention of the publishers of this high- toned periodical to make it the “Queen of the Lady’s Magazines ” for 1871. Hav ing striven to make it the best reading magazine of its class, they now propose to give all the attractions of the most popular fashion monthlies, such as color ed steel fashion plates, etc., etc., and to add new features never yet attempted by any of them. Among these are a series of cartoons on toned paper. These, as understand it, are to be finely engrav ed copies, double in size the ordinary page of the magazine, of choice pictures, and will be a novel and highly popular feature. The beauty, taste, excellence and rare interest of its literary contents, combined with all these new attractions cannot help making Arthur's Lady's Home Magazine tho favorite of the coming sea- Specimeas sent free. Published by T. S. Arthur k. Sons, Philadelphia, Pa., at $2 a year ; with large reduction for clubs.

About 2 J o’clock, Sunday morning it was discovered that the stable on the premises of Mr. R. A, Miller was on fire, the alarm was sounded and the different Fire Companies hastened to the scene, where they arrived too late to accomplish anything, more than the polling down a few fences and preventing the spreading of the fire, as the building was a small one and very dry and the flames were un der such head-way that they could not be arrested. We learn that a cow and * buggy were burnt up with the staple, but cannot vouch for its accuracy. tS* The colored people have kept the Justice Mills grinding, this week, on va rious offences ; some criminal but moat of a petty character. . . , „ J©* To all persons who use kerosene lamps, we would mention that if the wicks are soaked in strong vinegar for twenty- four hours and thoroughly dried before being used, all smoke will be avoided,the wicks will lost twice as long, and increas ed brilliancy will be obtained.

The numerous friends and admir ers of that Christian gentleman, Rev.R. W. Dixon, pastor of the Methodist Ohnrch this city, will regret to learn that he is in feeble health, and that his eye-sight is fast failing him. A visit to the up coun try, from which he hoped to receive ben efit has not improved his condition.— During his absence from the city, Rev. Samnel Anthony officiates in his stead. The Thomosville Enterprise tells of an old gray-headedgentleman who was that place last Saturday, hunting the census taker in order to make his return of twenty-nine grand children, all on the Democratic platform. ” Turner, the colored Radical leadergin the Legislature of Georgia, declared, af ter the passage of the resolution admit ting the members elected to fill vacan cies, that the Radical party was “dead in tho House and the State for the next twenty years.” Election Bill.—Tho election bill drawn np by Akerman and introduced iu both houses of tho Legislature, will be found elsewhere in this morning’s issue. The late hour we received the document, precludes any extended re marks from ns this morning, we shall notice it more at length in onr next— The absurd and preposterous provisions embraced in tho bill are such as to make one almost sick with disgust.

Retirement op Colonel Lamar.—In the Columbus Sun *C Times of the lGtli, A. B. Lamar, Esq., makes the announce ment that he has retired from the posi tion of political editor of that paper. He has for several years sustained that rela tion to the Sun, and sustained it with distinguished ability. His vigorous and spicy articles were read with interest, and their point and style much admired. yOur last Greenback—-like Paris— has been invested, and onr friends who have indulged ns are now calling on us to “ante up.” We like to pay our in debtedness, but cannot do so unless those whom we have confided ia now come for ward to onr relief.
