As It will be a preliminary step to the great ex position at New Orleans, it is im portaut that the products of Sumter county should bo well represented. Enterprise School. Amebicus, July 26 By special invitation from Miss Katie Pickett, on the morning of the July 24th, bright and early, wo were en route for the closing exeroises of her school at Enterprise church, Terrell county. We arrived at ten o'olock and found most of the crowd assembled and the exercises Imd begun. We witnessed the ex- ereiscs of the dav, which were very creditablo to Miss Kate, and also her scholars. At 12:45 a sumptu ous dinner was spread; and ah, that dinner, lhatdinnorl Everything the appetite could crave, everything good or desirable, and all cooked *’ wel1 » cooking eonld be done. The warmness of the hospitality of ‘hose people was excellent and •bnndant,_ and was fully equal to weir table comforts.

The exercises of the • bot, ‘ < o’clock; then y began to prepare for the ex- b “ion, whioh opened at 7 o’clock. "c crowd began to gather early, Were v cry impatient, as the «ur.h° * e * ° f t * ic **y proven How Goods are Bought. Mr. M. Gross, of J, Waxelbaum & Co., left this morning for New York. During his absence Capt. Shaffer will be in charge of the busi ness. Mi. Gross leaves direct for Boston, Haverhill and Lynn, Mass., and there places his orders for boots and shoes for his wholesale and retail departments. J. Waxcl- baum A Co. is the only house in Americus that buys their boots and shoes direct from the manufac turers in person, thereby saving 25 per cent, usually paid by other houses to jobbers or traveling men. From Boston Mr. Gross will go to Now York to attend to his cloth ing purchases. Everyone knows that J. Waxelbaum A Co. buy more and sell more clothing and carry more stock than any lour houses in this section. The secret of their success lay3 in buyituj their stock. Mr. Gross in person selects tire material, superintends the manu facturing by expert tailors while in the city, getting always the latest styles and the nobbiest patterns. This is an advantage over other houses, whose business will not permit thoir “going on” twice a year and almost compels them to stay at home and buy their stock from traveling men at a heavy advance on regular New York prices. Everyone knows that a traveling man labors under many heavy expenses. He is the best dressed man, stops at the swell hotel, smokes the finest Sc cigars and drinks the best liquor and makes the country merchant pay for it. J. Waxelbaum A Co. do away with all these unnecessary expenses. They never bay of travel ing men. Go to New York in per son, they are well known in the market, buy in large quantities, arc old experienced merchants, and do buy goods 25 per cent, less than any other house in this section. Another disadvantage in buying from traveling men is that they never carry the latest styles. When they start on tho road the styles in New York are never out, and they generally carry a lino carried over from tho season before, and the poor country merchant that don’, know any better, and sees nothing else, and has no one to post him, buys the poor drummer's fluff, and when the scoson opens, nnd J. Waxelbaum A Co. make thoir grand display, their customers will always find the latest, nobbiest and best goods in the market and at prices that defy competition. J. Waxelbaum A Co. New York Store. As advertised, at 6 o’clock the bieyole and running race came off at the fair grounds last Friday evening. The attendance was fair, many ladies being present. Tho riders in the bicycle race, a two mile dash, were J. H. Polhill, of Macon, W. M. Jones, of Amcri cus, F. M. Tunlson, of Savannah and Crawford Wheatley, of Amer icus. The latter gcntlcraanis now hand at the wheel, having only used one n few weeks. A few moments after six the riders mounted their maobinesand the judges started them off. Tunh son at once took the lead, followed by Polbill and Jones. After four or five laps Polhill made a spurt and passed Tnnison, followed shortly afterwards by Jones. The track wa9 too sandy for Tnnison who pulled off when his first mile was finished. Polbill was an easy winner of first money, and Jones of second. Polhill is a very grace' ful and easy rider, and could have beaten the time several minutes had lie been compelled to. The crowd then adjourned to the track prepared for the foot race. The entries were I. R. Cain, Will Davis. Tom Cobb and Neil Hawkins. A good start was made and the runners were evenly match ed for the first twenty-five yards. Cain then pulled out, followed closely by Davis, wiio elbowed bim all the way. Cain won by a foot or two in 11 j, Davis a close second, Cobb third and Hawkins last. The best of order prevailed, and everything passed off quietly. The Commercial City club did not get rich from the proceeds though. Personal Paragraphs. Mr. R. J. Perry is visiting . in Gainesville.

OHIS! Mr. Clay Speaks. Plantation, July 18th, 1884. Editor Recorder:—I bavo just read an article in the Republican, “Consumer.” He was very kind and liberal In his views towards somo and full of advice to others. I do not know who “consumer” is, unless he is one of those characters always neoessary to fill up a town, who always knows moro about every one else’s business that lie does his own. One of these men who are always ready to give ad vise; knows bow everything ought to liedono; makes Inexhaustablc amounts ol money, but being a ■consumer” never has any, and he is as equally well acquainted with tlie knowledge of putting a little boy off of fifteen years and telling bim to call again who makes his living by collecting for some mer chant who has been unfortunate enough to fall heir to some of bis bills or accounts. But if I am wrong in my viaws and the article was written by some nice clever gentleman, who really wanted to know the reason why a mistake of that kind should be mado in over estimating our crops and having to bay corn, I will explain and take plcasure in giving my views when asked for. I run on llic Huguenin planta tion fifty-two plows, forty I run on the tenant system and twelve for wages, I have never had to buy an car of corn for my wages crowd since I have been farming, not only malting plenty of corn to run it, but always let out a good deal to my tenants. Any one who has ever had a great deal to do with negro tenants, certainly is possessed of the knowledge that it is, as a rule, a matter of an impossibility to keep the tenant from selling off bis corn in the fall of the year, which forces you to buy corn for the gentleman of color again in the latter part of spring, or ho lo9es his crop. The is unique nnd elegant, embracing nil the corn that I have bought has been “ t “ t on<1 cIln »‘est l,M| s ns: entirely for my tonants. I have now on hand nineteen hundred and ninety-two bushels of oats, known as tho celebrated Clay orMcCuller oat, whioh I will, beyond a shadow of doubt, realize one and a half or two dollars per bushel for, thoreby realizing the snug sum of three or four thousand dollais for my oat crop. Or in other words I could have fed all my oats away like many others and not had to buy one ear of corn for my tenants, but I deemed it a wiser aud bet tor plan to save my oats and Boll them and buy] eorn. The ont crop in this country has almost been a complete failure, con scqucntly tho farming interest in this country will bo greatly in need of seed oats, whilo corn will go begging at the small sum of 40 or 50 cents per bushel, and if “cob sumcr” thinks I am wrong in my views, I will sell him two thousand bushels of corn, delivered nt my crib this fall, for 50 cents per bushel,leaving raoro than the above amount to run my twelve plows with the next year.
