V A summons was served by the po lice yesterday on the engineer of freight train No. 17, charging him with obstructing Broad and Madison streets longer than the ordinance al lows.

V About two thirds of the local travel between stations is done by negroes. They bnrdly ever ro any great dis- tauco, but do most of their traveling on short runs.

The citizens are the soul of hospitality and represent the best ele ments of society.

Both gentlemen, after a careful survey of tho situation, are enthusiastic.over the prospects of the development of the phosphate, and of the benefit that this section will receive from the discovery. Some days ago we published nn account of the progress made in working the find, but up to that time everything was an experiment, now nil who have throougbly investigated the matter, or who are personally interested, regard the success of the working, not in the light of an uncertainty, but as a suc cess. Up to that time the phosphate had been mined only in one pocket, since borings has been made all over a ten acre field, and everywhere the drill has been put down phosphate has been found, or what appears to be phosphate. The carload shipped to Atlanta was pronounced as fine as any received there. The per centage of the phosphate rock is eighty-five. All over forty-five is considered valuable enough to work. Two New York prospectors are on the ground, and Mr. Dunwoody Jones, who rep resents the Atlanta capitalists, has re turned home to bring out a force of hands to put to work on the plant. He says the plant will bo in operation in sixty days. Mr. John Eason, who owns land on which some of the phos phate is found, has sold out two hun dred acres fdr'88,000. Model Hotels.

Rev. W. M. Haye3, the esteemed nnd beloved pastor of the First Meth odist church of this city, lias resigned his pastorate. He will picach his farewell sermon to-day. This is an announcement that will be received with regret by many peo ple in Americus. The bishops of the M. E. Church South have appointed Mr. Hayes commissioner of education and it is to enter upon the duties of thisbroad- er and more extensive field that he has resigned the leadership of the flock that loves him so. He will have in chnrgc the two no table Methodist colleges, the Paine Institute at Augusta and the Lane In stitute nt Jackson, Tcnn. He will spend most of his time in traveling and working in the interest of these colleges, and will no doubt add won derfully to tho energy of their work and the stimulation of their "prosperi ty. Mr. Hayes is a strong nnd earnest worker, and no matter what he under takes it prospers and succeeds, aud his multitude of warm friends in Americus, while they exceedingly re gret to lose him as a pastor yet con - gratulatc tho educational interest of the church to which his services will bo hence given.—Americus Recorder.

Simkins, of Monticello, was in the city yesterday. The house being moved on Hansell street bus reached Smith avenue. To move a house of the size and the dis tance as the one mentioned, is a diffi cult undertaking, unless all the mod ern inventions for moving buildings were convenient, but it is now assured that the job will be successful.

He tells of the sight in his memories which are writ ten in his crude fashion—for he re fused all proffered aid in editing those: In describing his impressions of his first railroad ride on the line then operated from the Chesapeake bay to Delaware City, he says: This wa3 a clean new sight to me. About o dozen big stages hung on one machine, nnd to start up hill. After a good deal of fuss we all got seated and moved slowly off', the engine wheezing ns if she had the tizzick. By and by she began to take short breaths and away we went, with a blue streak after us. The whole distance is sev enteen miles and it was run in fifty, five minutes. While I was whizzing along I burst out Inughing. One of the passengers asked me what it was at. “Why,” says I, its no wouder the fellow’s horses ran off” A Carolina wagoner had just crossed the railroad from Charleston to Augusta when the engine hove in eight with the oars at tached. It was growing dark and the sparks were flying in all directions. His horses ran ofl, broke his wagon and smashed his combustibles into items. He run to a house for help and when they asked him what scared his horses he said ho did not jist know, but it must be hell in harness. We are the People, For the People, And With the People.

The pruning knife has been busy the early part of this week, and for the beginning of the season we will offer the largest, handsomest and best selected stock of the best makers in the market. In gentlemen’s shoes we show Williams, Kneeland:’& Cos. famous fine hand-sewed pat ent leathers in all the different shapes.

Every gentleman who has worn a pair knows their dura bility and beauty, and will not have to be told twice before he takes advantage of this of fer. Great interest is felt in the result of the election in Tom Reed’s district yesterday. The democrats will make Reed roost on a lower limb. There will be some consolation in that.
