' Commemoration of tbe Death
of General 11. E. Lee.
In pursuance to a call made upon the
citizens of Americus-to moke some pub
lic manifestation of regard, on account
of the death of General Robert E. Lee,
at on early hour yesterday morning pre
parations for tho commemoration of thi-
sod event begain, and progressed, nntil
each one felt tlia importauts of tho dry
before them. As early as the afternoon
of the 13th, some of our houses were
drapodin a beautiful and appropriate
manner, and by nine o'clock yesterday
the whole city wore the appearance of
mourning. Tho business houses were
closed, the Superior Court which was in
session had adjourned for the day, and
Americus presented a perfect Sunday
appearance. All of tho stores and busi
ness hoaRcs were diaped in mourning
and the Court House was tastefully fes
tooned with crape around tho entire
building.
According to arrangement a procession
was formed at 10 a. m. at the Hall of
Wi’de Awake Fire Company with the
Americas Brass Band in front, followed
by the Wide Awake Fire Company No.
1, Protection No. 2, Hook And Ladder
Company, Independent Order of Good
Tempters, B’ Braitli, Masonic Fraternity,
City Council and Mayor, and a large
concourse of citizens. The procession
moved off under command of Col. Jno.
V. Price, Marshal of the day; marched
down the east side of the Square and
proceeded to tho Lawn of Moj. Furiow.
On arriving at that place, the Fire Depart
ment opened ranks, allowing tho proces
sion to passthrough, and proceeded to the
stand erected for the pnrposo of hearing
addresses. Here, Mayor R. C. Black
moved that Col. A. S. Cutts be called to
tho chnir, and that F. A. Bnrke Esq.
act as Secretary, which was unanimously
adopted. On taking the Chair, Col. Catts
announced the object of tbe meeting in a
few pertinent remarks. Prayer was then
offered by Dr. G. F. Cooper after, whicli
Col. W. A. Hawkins in a few feeling and
appropriate remarks introduced the fol
lowing Resolutions.
At nine and a half o’clock cn the morn
ing of the 11th instant, an unexorable fiat
of Johovah called 4 Kobebt E. Lee, to his
last resting place. Immediately the
lightning passed the sad news to all parts
ot tbe world.
Therefore, we the citizens of this city
and surrounding countiy, without refer
ence to differences, and actaatatcd by a
common sympathy, having come togeth
er to consider of him who is no more in
this world ; be it, therefore,
Resolved, That wo join our profound
bereavment in this great loss, and, with
sad hearts, express onr high appreciation
of his noble qualities as a soldier, a citi
zen and a Christian gentleman; be it,
Resolved, Further, That in token of
onr high regard we suggest that a more en
during monument be erected to his name
by those who bewail liis loss and honor his
fame, be it,
Resolved, Further, That wo request tho
city papers and all other papers who
love the memory pf the great captain, to
copy these resolutions.
After the resolutions were read, Col.
Fry, of Decatur,lieing present, addressed
tho assembly in an appropriate eulogy of
General Lee, giving all of tho prominent
acts of the great man’s life, and closing
with a fine exemplification of his great-
cliristian warrior. Ho was fol
lowed by Jno. D. Carter Esq., who de
livered one of tho most beautiful enlogios
it has ever been our good fortune to
listen to. Chaste, rhetorical and refined, it
was a fit tribute of one of Virginia’s most
promising sons, to her mighty dead.
His speech abounded in that deep pathos,
so appropriately felt on the occasion,
and the rapt attention in which he held
his audience for the half hour he spoke,
showed that ho had touched a chord in
the heart of that vast assemblage, in per
fect unison with Iris ovu. His closing
remarks was a glowing heart-offering to
tho memory of the great soldier, states-
, and scholar, and the feeling mani
fested by the orator and audience, show
ed that the affections of the people were
wrapped in the snbject beforo them.
Dr. Wilburn then delivered one of his
soul-stirring earnest addresses, after
which the meeting adopted the Resolu
tions of Col. Hawkins unanimously. A few
feeling remarks were made by Col. Jno.
V. Price and Col. Cutts, and tho meet
ing adjourned with tho benediction by
Dr. Wilburn.
Amoric’.is turned ont en masse to pay
this homage to t'*e great Southron. The
ladies lent beauty'to the occasion by their
preseneo, and showed tho depth of
feeling that pervaded their hearts by tbe
interest they manifested iu the exercises.
Although it was iu open air, and the sun
rays grew warm aud unpleasant towards
tho closo of tho addresses, they still re
mained, sad, sorrowful, attentive and
beautiful.
Tho piocea selected by the Brass Bond
ere deep solemn dirges; quite appropri
ate to the occasion.
A Word to our Friends.-^ince
oar advent into the city, seventeen years
ago, we have labored asaidnonsly fer the
interests of Americas, with what success
we leave the public to determine. Wo
have invested largely in 'preparing to do
ull. manner of work in the printing line,
and it doe* seem to ns that onr citizen
iught to snstaiu home oat.-rprisi* rather’
thau send their work abroad, when it can
be done us neat, and as cheap at home as
elsewhere.- Thousands of dollars are sent
away from Americas by our merchants
and business men yearly, for work, that
can be done in Americus. We can dupli
cate any job of printing at as low rites as
any respectable printing establishment
in the Sooth. Connected with this es
tablishment, are four heads of families,
and the same nmnb?r of single persons,
who spend their daily earnings among our
merchants, making in the aggregate quite
a large sum.
We feel then that we have the right to
claim a more liberal patronage from the
business men of this place than is bestow
ed upon ns. There is no place in the
South, with the population of Americas,
where as little ; atronnge is extended to
tho press, os in this place. There are
one hundred and fifty business houses in
Americas, and ont of that number but
twelve make their business known
through our columns.
We could fill up onr entire apace with
foreign advertisements were we disposed
to do so, but wo prefer depending upon
tho patronage of our onn merchants to
sustain our paper. We do not believe in
bnilding up other merchants at the ex
pense of our own. When our merchants
and business men fail to extend to us a
sufficient amonut of patronage, to sustain
the paper, wo will no longer carry on the
business, on as large a scale as wo hare
been doing.
The expense of carrying on the bust
ness of this office is six hundred dollars
per month, which we are compelled to
meet. The business of the offioe is suf
ficient to meet the heavy expense if
sorry to say,
doing their duty in this respect. Some
of them seem to get offendea when a bill
for subscription or advertising is present
ed them. \\ e have on onr books from
eight to ten thousand dollars due us, and it
with great difficulty at times that we
can collect enough to pay off the hands
in the office. These accounts most be
collected.
We have too much confidence in our
friends to suppose for one moment that
they will see us suffer by the loss of this
largo amount._The “laborer is worth
largo amount, ilie ••laborer is worthy
of his hire.” Wo have worked faithfully
for our patrons, and we hope they will
not forgot us in this onr time of need.
A member of the firm will wait upon
all onr city patrons to-day and we hope
that all will cheerfully respond when lie
calls npon them. The subscription price
of the Tki-Weeklv Repblican in only
six dollars a year when paid in advance.
In every iustouce where a party fails to
pay, the paper will be stopped. ’ Wo have
a high and exalted opinion of onr pat
rons, and feel satisfied that they will
never allow us to suffer for the want of
On yesterday morning about the
hour of half past two,'onr city was aroris-
cd-by tho alarm of fiife. Proceeding iu
the direction of the’ bright light in the
eastern portion of the city, wo soon as
certained that it was the elegant resi
dence of Col. W. A. Maxwell, and by the
time ye reached ,Ui* spat, the housu.wa>
:of» far enveloped in flange* tu.fitv* eitin-
gnished. Unfortunately Col* Maxwell
had just left a d»y or two ago for Lis
plantation, and no one but f «• ladies of
the ho rse were at home. The flames pro
gressed m rapidly that it was impossible
to save but little witi* the small help the
family had at first, and with the excep
tion of the parlor and sitting loom furni
ture, and one or two trunks of ilothiug,
•ntire contenth qf this beautiful 'man-
were destroyed. Oar Fire Oompa-
were promptly on the ground and
did all that could' have been done under
tho circumstances. The loss will amount
to §15,000. Wo understand that the
premises were insured for §12,000. This
fire was undoubtedly the work of an in-
oeadiai/. yy yC~P ft \ fjf M
There is one act connected with this
calamity, dosenring particular mention,
which caused a display ot bravery and
courage, never surpassed, and but seldom
equaled, and which marks its anthor os a
perfect heroine. Miss Sallie Maxwell,
her efforts to save everything of value in
the honse, that she could, was delayed in
the second story of the building nntil the
firo had destroyed tho lower story,
much, that there was danger of the walls
falling in every minute. Seeing her dan
ger, she gathered a few articles for the
purpose of taking a final leave of the
house. On entering the hall from the
room she was in, to Iser horror and dis
may she saw that the stair-way was
iu a solid sheet of fiamo. There
only one way of escape now, anil that
was through the front windows of the
second story, where the fiery element
had not communicated itself. Going out
on tho top of the colona-le her awful sit
uation was immediately realiz d by the
crowd below, and tho anxiety depicted on
every countenance showed tho deep feel
ing that stirred tho soul of every one.—
A ladder was brought but it was
short to reach tbe roof, and was of
avail. With the crackling flames behind
and around, and making tho most rapid
headway imaginable, every moment
precious beyond computation. The only
chanco for life uow, was to jump from
the high placoon which she was standing.
A mattmss was brought and being firmly
held by strong men, with a spirit
daunted and intrepid—she made the leap
from the point she oecupiod, embracing
in its curve at least thirty feet, reaching
the ground wilh comparative safety, anti,
with the exception of the shock and
enssion of so high n jump, entirely
hurt.
Attention ! Firemen.—'Tho members
of Protection Fire Company are request
ed to meet at Fireman’sHall, this (Thurs
day) evening, at 7 o’clock, to hear re
ports from Committees on uniform, and
making arrangements for purchasing the
same at once, as wo have l>een informed
by the City authorities that onr engine
will soon arrive. Those wishing to be
come members of the company are re
quested to meet with ns tliis evening.—
Tho usual mode of receiving members
will bo suspended, in order to make the
purchase of the uniforms of the company
all together. By order of the
Officers.
Ebbatta.—By an oversight, and in
tho hurry of patting our Tuesday’s edi
tion to press Monday night, a number of
errors appeared in tbe Resolutions of
Respect to the memory of General Lee,
adopted by the young ladies of Farlow
Masonic Female College, which the com
positor foiled to correct. This omission
was not discovered nntil too late to
make the corrections.. This we regret ex
ceedingly, as we consider them among
the best we have seen. We repnblish
them this morning, as they were origin
ally handed in the office.
IN MEMORY OF GEN. R. E.
e LEE.
A meeting of the pnpils of Furiow
Masonic Female College, was called in the
Chapel, on Friday Oct 14th, at 4 o’clock’
Americas A Nrwnnn Railroad.
Mabion Covntv, Oct. 14,1870.
How shall wo proceed to raise funds for
building the Americus & Ncwnan Rail
road ? is a question which is now perplex
ing the minds of many of ns. No great
undertaking requiring the expenditure of
thousands and hundreds of thousands of
dollars con ever be successful and, more
particularly at a time like the present
when we see our whole country involved
financial confusion and rain, without a
well conceived and ably executed plan for
raising money and one which will not en
danger involving those who embark in it.
The extent of tho Road is about 110
miles through n country unsurpassed in
tho State for its fertility, with Mie excep
tion of a few miles. Within five miles
of this road on each side, uilowiu > 0-10
acres to the square mile, there are 70-1,(XK)
acres of land. Within ten miles on each
side there is 1.408,000 acres. I j-ropuee
that tboso who live within five mites of
the contemplated road give their Alert
gage Bonds with interest from date, for
the payment of one dollar per aere for all
tho land they own lying within that dis
tance, and those that live beyond five
and not exceeding ten, give theirs on the
samo terms for 50 cents i*er acre and tike
stock to the amount of their Boa-.K—
These Bonds could bo sold as needed in
the city of Now York for §1,03(1,000, thus
enabling ns to lmild the road ourselves

sources, witiiont State

U a number o! the delegatea pres-,
ent, tho meeting from first to last was of
a very interesting character. The dis
enssion of the various subjects presented
in the programme was carried on with
great'unanimity, and no little ze^. Most
of those-who spoke waxed warm, even to
eloquence. Both the Sunday School and
Missionary causes as pertaining to the
Americas District and to the M. E.
Church South, were pretty thoroughly
canvassed, new ideas were called forth,
fresh zeal inspired, and mnch interest
awakened in well nigh all who were pres
ent. The Convention was somewhat of
an experiment hut such was the interest
manifested that it was resolved to hold
another Convention iu Cathliert, nl>ont
the last of April next year.
The citizens of Botsford and surround
ing country vied with cucli other in en
tertaining those committed to their care
during the session of the Convention.
Some of them could not get company
enough. Wo are sure there was not one
who was not delighted with the country,
and especially with the citizens. A
nobler, more generous and freer hearted,
we have not seen anywhere, than the
good people about Botsford.
The venerable Dr. L. Pierce, in tho
eighty-sixth year of his age, and the sixty-
sixth of his ministry, uow the energetic
and efficient Sunday School Agent of tho
Sonth Georgia Conference, was present,
to cheer by his presence, and stimulate
and encourage with his command. Hit
sermons delivered during the Convention,
and on Sabbath following, were replete
with thought and full of power. There
is no man like him. He is tho Paul of
this age.
The Convention closed on Saturday the
15th inst. when, most of the delegates left
for their homes, some remained to par
ticipate iu the exercises of the quarterly
meeting.
Yonr correspondent forgot to say that
tho attendance of spectators was good at
the first, and increased from session to
session until the dose of the Convention.

this arrangement the road would bo built,
would hare ten years to pay for tho
building and no possible financial de

the stockholders. If we were not able to
take up our bonds we could sell. our
shares of stock, and it ur my opinion thir)
tho road would uearly pay for itself
that timo. Supposing that some prefer
doing work on the road to the amount of
their Bonds instead of having them sold ;
they could do so. Supposing Unit ul.

The late Convention, which assembled
at Newnan, imposed upon me tho duly of
procuring subscriptions to aid in the
construction of the contemplated Road
from this place to Newnan. This ap
pointment was unsolicited on toy part, ns
well as unexpected, and I would greatly
have prefeired that tho responsibility
should have been conferred npon f
who has more leisure, and could
ert a more controling influence in favor
of an enterprise of such vital importance
to Americus, as I conceive this to be.-
But feeling, os I do, that every man wli
desires the future prosperity of Amor
cus, should do something to promote the
interest of this work. I do not feel
am attiiberty to decline the appointment,
aud, therefore, say to the frien
road, in Snmter and adjoining
that the books are now open, u
now ready to receive their subscriptions.
We have talked a great deal and written
as mnch, on the snbject of building a
Railroad from Americas io some point
that would enable us to compete with
other towns, having better facilities fo r
