millions.
The Champion florin Story.
Truth is stranger tliau fiction:
A gentleman from Dooly was in
town last week, and in speaking of
the storm in that county, said the
strangest thing • hat happened there
was that a kettle was overturned
and the bottom blown clear through
itself, resulting in no damage to it
but turning the legs on which it
stood on the inside. New legs
will have to be put on it.
A Nice Song.
Wc have received from Luddcr.
A Bates one of their latest songs,
inlitled/T Lost My Massn When
Duy Set me Free.” It is, ns its
name would indicate, one of those
famous plantation songs that are
so popular. Having tried it, we
are free to confess that it is some
thing more. than usually good.
The music is especially pretty, a
plaintive strain running through the
entire piece, and tiio chorus har
monizes well. Wc heartily recom
mend it to onr musical friends.
■ improved Mschlnery.
Impioved farming machinery is
destined to work a revolution in
the methods of farming in the South
and in it we hope will be found
a solution ofllie vexed labor prob
lem, for by its aid the rai nier can
in a great measure become inde
pendent of shiftless and unreliable
laborers. Already steam is being
made to do the work of human
hands in many departments, and
the Introduction of other imple
ments will dispense with many la
borers, and do the work better ind
with mo-e certainty.
Eighteen Months in Water.
About eighteen months ago,
Walter Rvlander, while fishing and
hunting on Well’s pond, near
Smithville, lost a double-barreled
shot gun by .its dropping in the
pond. He used grapples and
dived for it nt the time, but could
not find it. The other day the
mill dam broke and a negro found
the gun at the bottom of the pond,
as bright and clean as when it wns
lost. As soon ns the air struck it,
it began to rust, but the negro oil
ed it and it is now ns good as ever,
with the exception ol the lock be
ing slightly injured.
What a Chance!
In looking over the columns of
the Marion County Anjus, our
eyes fell upon a very peculiar item.
The peculiarity of it is that any
one would have audacity to thus
advertise their possessionsjin order
to secure liclp-matcs. In order to
satisfy the curiosity of those who
mny want to know more of what
we arc speaking, wo publish the
item entire.

Judge Harrell’s Speech.
Judge Harrell’s speech at the
Opera House, Saturday forenoon,
was but lightly attended. The gal
leries were well filled by colored
people, hut there was a painful
meagrcncss in the body of the
house. The Judge made his usual
speech, and made it well, but there
was little that was new in it. lie
referred to the charge that lie be
longed to a secret political society,
and denounced the charge as a
false, saying that he Imd never be
longed to any secret political so
ciety and never intended to. Re
ferring to his nomination by the
Republicans of this district, lie
said he was proud to receive their
support, as he would be to any
body of citizens. If there was any
disgrace attached to it, then lie was
in the same boat with Gov. Col
quitt, who was endorsed by the
Republicans two years ago, and lie
was not aware tbst Gov. Colquitt
had turned Republican. He attri
buted the small attendance to the
efforts of the politicians to keep the
people from turning out to hear
h'.m.

BEFOBE IIE LEFT.
Major Theodore Dcnon, of the
Charleston News and Courier, call
ed on us Tuesday. He proposes
to get up a local advertising alman
ac, suited to the necessities of the
people of Americus and surround
ing country, in the interest of
which lie will call on the merchants
of the city to-day and to-morrow.
We commend the Major and his
enterprise to our friends.—Repub
lican of Wednesday.
A FT Ell IIE LEFT.
Major Theodore DcHon. of the
Charles News and Courier, has for
some days past been canvassing
the city in the interest of a local
advertising almanac. Ho has met
with nn utter failure in the matter,
and says that our merchants lack
enterprise. We are not to be hum-
bugged by advertising almanacs,
fair associations, trade issues, Ac.
Our merchants showed good sense
by refusing to givo their aid to this
advertising catch and ns they arc
ever wide awake they cannot be
caught by advertising dodges. The
newspaper is the legitimate suc
cessful channel through which nd-
vei Using can be made a success,
and it is only through the local
press which goes into every store,
workshop and home that advertis
ing can lie made to pay. The
charge that our merchants lack en
terprise can’t be sustained, for their
past record refutes it.—Republican
of Saturday.
Didn't Have Time.
From i ho Telcgrnph.
The following exultant pnrai»rnph is
front our Albany neighbor: “An exuber
ant AutericuH correspondent of the Ma
con 7'elegraph exultantly published Sun
day morning the big fact that Americus
had received 1,800 bales of cotton up to
noon Friday. The headline editor of the
Telegraph makes it enormous. Why,
bless your little innocent souls, ouo
warehouse in Albany has received over
1,000 bales, leaving four other precincts
to be heard from. We haven’t the time
to figure it nn, but the Telegraph may
put it in the State nows column as a safe
fact that our receipts, sic-ce the first bale
came in, will amount to nearly three
thousand bales. ’
All of which movie easily ac
counted for by the fact of a late
crop, bridges down, and Albany
getting cotton about a month
earlier than Americus. Wc will
just go you one that thirty days
from now Americus will be ahead
of you. Tnkc it?
A Novel Expedient.
The Macon Oraphic 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 n summer
visit. The clerks pay into the
treasury one dollar a month, which
at the end of a year makes the sum
of $300. At a ccitaiu date a drt-w-
Ile Wat Fortunate.
We arc informed that a yo’uog
man who was married’in this vicin
ity not long ago was a member of
22 matrimonial societies, 0 of them
being what is denominated as “day
associations.” It is said tlmt an
hour and a half was consumed in
getting Ills certificates of marriage.
If the companies pay up (?) he will
have the snug sum of over $1,000
to begin life with. However, wo
would not advise our young friends
to be in any haste about Joining
the agencies, for some one will have
to pay for it.

At the regular meeting of the

a resolution was introduced and
adopted oflering the right t.f way
through the eity, the grounds for
depot and shops to the Savan
nah, Pacific and Short Line Rail
way, should they decide to bring
their road through Americus. The
City Council will do nil in their
power to assist the road, and we
have no doubt any movement they
mny make will be heartily second
ed by our citizens. This is a move
in tho right direction, and wc hope
to soon be authorized to announce
the acceptance of this oiler by the
Company, and the additional an
nouncement that they will build |
their shops here.
