Judge I.. P. D. Warren.
.Judge Wnrren, of Albany, and
one of tho most widely known gen
tlemen in Soutli Georgia, died at
his home in Albany, on Sunday
morning, the 10th. For some
months past lie lias been ill, and

Our Parlor Suite.
A few days ago a gentleman call
cd at Hill’s furniture store to ex
amine the parlor suite offered by
the Recorder as a gift, and was
surprised to find it one of the hand
somest suites in the bouse. He
thought our offer was only a news
paper trick. We wish all would
call and examine this parlor suite
and see that it is all we claim it to
be. Everything wo offer is just as
we represent it. Wo do not pro
pose to humbug tho people with
snide articles, but everythingjwc of
fer is the best of its kind, and they
will be distributed among those of
our subscribers who pay ono year

dress now just making its appear
ance among them. I noticed fin
the streets a few evenings ago a
little miss of twelve or fourteen
summers attired in one of the 1
“Mother Hubbard’s” (the dress iu
question) and could but mark
her evident discomfiture in being
thus decked out. It was plain to
see that she didn’t wear it through
choice, and was not nt ail impressed
by its “becoming beauty,” but on
the contrary was made to wear it
by Rome devoted worshipper at the
shrine' of Folly’s Goddess,
“Madame Fashion.”
Let the girls, young and old, do
away with this looiish and exceed
ingly unbecoming costume ere it
becomes a “standard article.” Take
tlie pull-back, the hoop-skirt, any
tiling but tho “Mother Hubbard.”
Some of the young men arc
speaking of getting up a bop, to be
given under the auspices of the
Light Infantry, they wearing the
regulation full dress uniform of the
company, and the young ladies the
Mother Hubbard “uniform.’ Let’s
have the hop, by all means, but
amend the programme of dress by
substituting something better and
more becoming for the Indies,unless
the gentleman will agree to wear
tho Oscar Wilde pattern of knee-
pants, and all wear the same idiot
ic appearance.
Another correction, or rather
suggestion, I would like to make,
and that is tho frequent and “pro
longed” kissing indulged in by the
girls when they meet each other on
the street or at entertainments. I
have known girls who detested
each other almost, meet, fall, each
into the others arms, kiss und com
pliment, and then separate, each
one using her handkerchief assidu
ously and regretting that “custom”

Major Theodore DoHon, of the
Gharlcs News and Courier, has for
some days past been canvassing
the city iu the interest of a local
advertising almanac. He Iras met
witli on utter failure in the matter,
and sn vs i hat. our merchants lack
enterprise. We are not to be hum
bugged by advertising almanacs,
lair associations, trade issues, Ac.
Our merchants showed good sense
by refusing togivo their aid to this
advertising catoh and us they are
ever wide awake they cannot be
caught by advertising dodges. The
newspaper is tho legitimate suc
cessful channel through which ad-
vci Using can be made u success,
and it is only through the local
press which goes into every store,
workshop and homo that advertis
ing can be made to pay. The
charge that our merchants lack en

Tho following exultant paragraph is

put it in the State nows column as a safe
fact that our receipts, since tho first bale

Judge Harrell’s Speech.
Judge Harrell's speech at the
Opera House, Saturday forenoon,
was but lightly attended. The gnl-
le.rics were well filled by colored
people, but there was a painful
meagrencss in tbe body of the
bouse. The Judge made his usual
s)ieecb, and wade it well, but there
was little that was new in it. He
referred to the charge that be be-
longed to a secret political society,
and denounced tbe charge ns a
false, saying that lie had never be
longed to any secret political so
ciety and never intended to. Re
ferring to bis nomination by tbe
Republicans of this district, lie
said he was proud to receive tbeir
support, ns bo would bo to any
body of citizens. If there was any
disgrace attached to it, then be was
in the same boat witli Gov. Col
quitt, who was cnlorscd by the
Republicans two years ago, and he
was not aware that Gov. Colquitt
bad turned Republican. He attri
buted tbe small attendance to the
efforts of tbe politicians to keep the
people from turning ont to bear

The two literary clubs met on
Friday evening Inst, “Tho Club”
nt the residence of Mr. A. K.
Sckumpert,n»d the“Bells-LoUcrs”
at Maj. Speer’s. Both] were rath
er thinly attended, owing probably
to the fact that many members of
cacli are out of tbe city. I hope
tho interest hereto manifested in
these two organizations will not
be allowed to flag, but on tbe con
trary, will be kept up t'o tbe high
degree they have heretofore enjoy
ed. Nothing, I should think,
would be more elevating and im
proving to the young men Ilian to
lie members of the latter, as in it
they are thrown in company with
our best and most highly cultivat
ed young ladies. The older club
being so exclusive, certainly must
he perfect, or too near so to admit
of a suggestion from me of any
kind.
In a former communication I
believe I spoke of the advisability
of having the Bclles-Lottors secure
tbe Library us a permanent place
of meeting. The directors would
doubtless allow them to meet there,
and the older club also, it I may
suggest. It is certainly located
very conveinent for all, and as for
music, a piano could be rented
jointly between the two, and as
they meet on alternate Friday
evenings, neither would conflict
with tbe other. Let some one
belonging to one of tbe clubs move
in the matter, secure tbe piano, and
have It, of course, to be used ex
clusively by tbe two clubs. Being
an outsider I merely make the sug
gestion.

A Novel Expedient.
Tlie Macon Graphic makes men
tion of an association in Selma,
Ala., to which about 30 clerks be
long, that annually send three of
their number away on a summer
visit. The clerks pay into the
treasury one dollar a month, which
at tho end of a year makes tho sum
of$3G0. At a certain (into a drew-
ing is hold, and the sum is divided
among tho three lucky members,
who can uso tbo money as they
please. In order to make it oven,
wc suppose those that have drawn
must wait until all of the others
luivc drawn bcloro they can have
that privilege again. This looks
as if it would be a nice way for u
young man to save his money, and
wc suggest it to the young men of
Americus for their cdtasideration.
He Was Fortunate.
Wc are informed that a young
man who was married in this vicin
ity not long ago was a member of
22 matrimonial societies, 9 of them
being what is denominated as “day
associations.” It is said that an
hour and a half was consumed in
getting bis certificates of marriage.
If the companies pay up(?) be will
have tbe snug sum of over $1,000
to begin life with. However, we
would not advise our young friends
to be in any haste about joining
tbe agencies, for some one will have
to pay for it.

was industriously engaged in read
ing one of Ouida’s best efforts and
bud got bor French and Spanish so
terribly mixed that ray bead roared
witli the effort to untangle it. On
the right of us a wide, inviting
lane lay, which after a jaunt of 150
yards brought us to a picturesque
grove, shading one of those delight
ful summer residences that you
bear so much about and sec so
seldom.
I bad never visited there. Iu
fact, had nover iiad the leisure to
enjoy any Georgia hospitality that
had been so frankly offered me
many times. Tbe past winter 1
had met onc of th members of tbe
family, and iu conversation I had
expressed my ignorance, not how
ever, wit.i the views of fishing for
an invite.
“If you will visit us this sum
mer, I will ngree to provide you
with every luxury that tlie city oan
furnish,” and is it any wonder
that in ray memorandum I put
that down ns an inducement that
would draw ?
I went, I saw, and wus conquer
ed. I never know before wlint
genuine ' hospitality was. I am
proud to say now that it is some
thing tbut money cannot buy, nor
that wealth can bring. It is tlie
pure outpouring of n warm, friend
ly nature to strangers and friends
alike. It cannot be duplicated nor
counterfeited, and tbe swelling of
tlie heart that its extension unfolds
is worth more to us than rubies
or gold.
There is nothing so beautiful as
rest, and in my opinion it can be
found no easier than on onc ot
Georgia’s historical plantations,
among the grand old bills and
pinjjs, and witli the people that
seems to you as having lived in
another and far bettor world than
this. Surrounded by those who
can tell you talc aftor tale of tlie
marvelous old Georgia o( old, and
who scorns in thomsolves to be a
part and parcel of that time, and
with the young, blithe and beauti
ful Georgians of to-day, is it any
wonder that ljlia back in my rocker

“Will you all walk to tbo Doll?”
The youngest of the party asked
us, and the calm, clear eyes looked
at us with a world of innocence in
them. Swinging n broad sun hat
she led us, the little party behind
her straggling and unconsciously
dropping into twos and fours.
Mother Earth formed a soft and
downy coaoh for ua to rest upon,
and as the low murmured conver
sation began, the party reminded
mo of a picture 1 had once seen in
a famous art gallery. Tall pines
drooped toward us; tbe sun slowly
descended; the wind listlessly turn
ed the leaves; the birds sang and
fluttered from tree to tree, and a
peace and contentment came o’er
me that lulls to my lot but seldom.
Buttermilk, sweet milk, chieken
pies, dumplings, and everything
imaginable good *to cat was I fed
upon. I grew content, 1 grew hap
py, and during all of my stay there
was but one thing to mar my en
joyment—my cigar supply was ox-
bausted. The good lady of tho
house came to my aid and in an
incredibly short time 1 was pro
vided with a genuine country pipe
and an abundant supply of weed.
