Wednesday morning, as Miss
Eva Flotard was getting out of a
buggy in front of tlie Barlow House
Iter dress caught, causing Iter to
fall to the ground. It was fcarcil
for a time that site was seriously
injured nttd l*r. Hawkins was sum
moned, but in half an hour she was
all right.
Dooly Court.
Owing to the storm of last Sun
day, which required the presence
of every planter upon bis plan
tation, Judge Pate on Tuesday ad
journed Dooly court to tlie second
Monday in October.
Storm Cotton,
Yesterday morning we were
shown a sample of “storm cotton,”
nml sorrier looking stuiV wc nover
saw. The buyers say they do not
know wlint to do with it, and think
they will have to forward samples
in order to find out how much they
can pay. It is thought there will
be about 1,000 bales of it.
Liberal Rates.
The Southwestern railroad is
disposed to be liberal in oflering
rates for the coming exhibition of
the Americus Fair Association. It
offers to enrry pnssongers for two
cents a mile each way, and articles
for exhibition for rates one way. It
also offers to eo-operatc with other
roads in securing exoursion rates
from Cincinnati.
Deep Water.
Phil Jackson, of Lee, was in
town the other day, and in talking
about the storm, ho related an in
cident of more than usual interest
that happened to Jas. D. Green,
whom many of our readers know
well, and which was told Jackson
by Green himself. The house that
Green lives in is Bituatcd in a de
pression and his stable lots aro
also low. It has one or two small
streams near it, and when a heavy
rain comes these streams always
overflow. Sunday morning when
he got up to go out to his horses
lie found tlie lots covered willt
water, and before he could get to
them ho actually had to swim.
When a man has to swim, the
water must be rather deep, so our
readers can possibly form some
idea as to the heavy rain Lee must
have had.
Oar Trade Issue.
Next Friday we shall issue a
special edition of the Recorder of
several thousand copies, which will
be sent not only to every sub
scriber of tlie Weekly and Tri-
Weekly, but will be scattered
broadcast over the counties of
Sumter, Lee, Schley, Webster,
Stewart, Macon, Marion and Doo
ly. Many hundreds of copies will
be sent into tbe Noithern States of
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylva
nia, Michigan, New York, and oth
er States with the idea of attract
ing the attention of tbe people of
those States toward the incompara
ble advantages of this section of
Georgia as a place of business and
residence.
The lending articles in tlie issue
will he one on Southwest Georgia,
showing its immense resources, its
fine climate, and the many advant
ages it offers to men of industry
and moderate capital. Another
will be a full description of Ameri
cas, its trade, desirability as a resi
dence and as a winter resort. An
other will show up the advantages
which Americus offers to tho peo
ple oi this portion of Georgia as n
trading point. There will also be
other articles upon truck and fruit
raising, and other industries pecu
liar to this section.
We should like to have this is
sue be a true reflex of the business
of Amciicus, that those into whose
hands it may fall may know tlie ex
tent of the business of our thriving
city. In order to do this it !h nec
essary that every business firm
should have an advertisement in it, |
if it be only a small card. Wo
shall do our part toward represent
ing tbe business of onr city, and it
our business men wislt to see a pa
per go out which will aid in giving
people a good upinion of Aniericus
and drawing trade to it, they must
do their part. Wo do not propose
to beg for advertisements. If our
business men think it will not pay
them to advertise their goods, or
do anything toward attracting trade
to our city, our udvico to them is
to not advertise. While we should
like the aid of all in this work, wo
ask nothing for charity’s sake. Wo
are going to get out Ike issuo if
we do not secure an advertisement,
and It will bo no fault of ours if it
shall fail to bo a complete repre
sentative of tlie oity and section In
which it is published.
We have made our advertising
rates low, so as to give every busi
ness man un opportunity to make
his business known. Our rates are
$15 per column, $9 for half column;
$5 for quarter column, $1 per inch.
Wc shall wait upon every business
man in the city, but will not have
time to discuss the question, and
therefore hope all will have their
minds made up as to whether they
will take any spaco or not, or how
much. The business men of other
cities have found it profitable to
employ auoli mediums to make their
business known, and wc hope our
business men may find it fully ns
profitable.
