AS Hays' Springs, September «. There is no finer section of farm ing country in Southwest Georgia than tho “red levels” in the south western portion of Sumter county, and no moro intelligent, prosper ous and hospitable people on the face of tho globe than the farmers of that section. It was little wonder, then, that the announcement of a barbecue to be given by those peo ple drew together a largo concourse of people at Mays’ Springs on Thursday of last week, for they knew that there would be a table spread with an abundance of the substantials and luxuries of life, and that no pains would be spared to make all feel at home. Of course the editor of the Re- cobukk nnd his family were on hand, for he has been too long in too business to neglect such an opportunity of providing for him self and family a square meal. We put this in because it is a stock joke and no notice of a barbecue, is complete without it. Not that edi tors don't live as well as any one in the land, or are any hungrier than other people; but because it is a popular superstition, and if we didn’t pretend that we wero con tinually on the verge of starvation our subscribers would never think of paying tiieir subscriptions. Now that our presence there is sat isfactorily explained, let ns pro ceed to describe the barbecue. The barbecue was held in a beau tiful shady grove, where a stand and scats had been erected, and near by, from under the roots of two large white oak trees bubbled forth two bold streams of clear, cool water, sufficient to quench the thirst ot thousands or turn a mill wheel. We have rarely seen a more beautiful place to hold a pic nic, and we hope Capt. Mays will reserve it for that purpose until the railroad is built, when it would make a splendid summer resort. A committee was in waiting to Amerlcus was well represented, both in number and character. The candidates were represented by Judge Crisp for Congress, J. N. Hudson for Senator, W. M. Hawkes for Representative, and W. H. Cobb for Sheriff. The success of the occasion was largely due to the untiring efforts of Capt. Mays and his son Doug- las, Messrs. Thomas, Market, Dav enport and Rhodes, who wero always ready with a pleasant word am) willing attention for all. As this barbecue was given to celebrate the location of the A, P. A L. railroad through that section, we hope next year to attend one in the same place in celebration of the completion of the road. nOME INDUSTRY. Carilags Works of Oliver A Ollvsr. NARROW UllABE. welcome the guests and see that they were properly card for, and that committee performed their duty well. About 'ten o’clock Capt. Mays called the audience together around the speaker’s stand and bid them welcome to tho hospitalities of the people of that section, and at his suggestion Prof. C. H. Wooten, of Amcricus was made master of cer emonies. In a neat little speech he introduced Hon. W. M. Hawkes, who, notwithstanding ids plea of not feeling well, acquitted himself as ho always does—with credit to himself and pleasure to his hearers. Hon. C. F. Crisp was next intro duced and in an able manner dis cussed the political questions of tho day. Judge Crisp is a clear and forciblo speaker, with a most pleasant delivery, and his speech was attentively listened to by all- Ho was followed by Judge W. A. Hawkins in a brief, timely and witty address. Then followed the dinner, and here the descriptive power of tho pencil weakens, for a well-cooked, finely seasoned barbecued shoat or kid is something to be appreciated, not to be analyzed. Although there were about GOO people pres ent there was plenty for all and to spare. Tbe.-e were about thirty carcasses cooked, and about one- third of them were left uncarvcd. It was the unanimous opinion of those present that they had never tasted finer cooked and seasoned meat, the credit of which is due to Mr. Rhodes, who superintended the barbecuing. The long tables were not only well filled with meals, but with all other articles that could tempt the appetite. It was in vaiu that the most deter mined assaults were made upon the viands, constant reinforcement of supplies kept the table full, and even those veteran trenchermen, Messrs. John R. Shaw, C. T. Fur- low, Judge IMsbury and Capt. A. C. Bell were compelled to abandon the fight and beat a retreat. The dinner over, the afternoon was spent In pleasant social con verse, the renewal of old acquaint ance and the recital of roininisceo- cea. A more pleasant and social gathering we have never seen. All seemed to enjoy themselves to the utmost, and there was not a single unpleasant occurrence to mar the harmony of tho occasion. At a meeting ofthc directors of the Americtis, Preston and Dump- kin Railroad, held on Friday, it was deoided to build the road oa tho narrow gnage plan. Tho argu ment in favor of making this change is that the cost of construction is so much less that by using the present subscriptions and bond ing the road for a small amount the road can be built and equipped by tlie stockholders, who will then own and control the road ; while to build a standard gunge road would necessitate giving tiie con trol of it to the Central or some other road. As a narrow guage road will accommodate all tho traffic likely to pass over a road through that section, it was deem ed best that its control should re main in the hands ot the people along the line. Wo believe the di rectors have acted wisely, and their action will be endorsed by the poopie. Wc understand that an effort will be immediately made to build a narrow guage road from Americus to Vienna. The people of Dooly are extremely anxious to secure railroad communication and they have promised liberal sub scriptions. Such a road would certainly be a benefit to Amcricus, and to the Central road as a feeder, as at present tiie great bulk of the Dooly trade goes to Hawkinsville and is carried over the K. T. V. A G.road. TTTDNIP Seeds Fresh at 1 UIUlirj.A. AD.FDsvoDport’s .4 not Her Grand Exhibition.

There is nothing that adds more to the prosperity and growth of a city than its home manufactories, and it should be the pride of every oitizeu to encourage the building np of such industrial institutions by giving them their patronage and saying a good word for them. Snob a deserving institution is the carriage manufactory of Oliver A Oliver, in this city. Beginning in a small way, they have gradual ly built up a business the extent of whleh few of our citizens are aware, und we doubt not they would be surprised at its magnitude if they were to visit the manufactory, They have built up this business, in the face of great competition and opposition, by doing good work and letting it speak for itself. Their motto has been to prodttoo the best class of work and sell it at as low a price as good work can be sold for. In this manner they have built np a reputation that extends over the State, and they arc con. elantly in receipt oforaors from abroad. A few days ago wc visitod their faotory and made ful inspection of their methods. VVe found in their store rooms largo quantities of seasoned hint her of all kinds and dimen sions. The lumber they have cut to order'; it is then carefully nsaor ted, dried in the shade and kept at ail times under shoiter. In tills way they socure the very be9t ma terial for wagon axles, beds and buggy bodies. They also buy di rect from the manufacturers large stooks of carriage wheels, shafts, tongues, trimmings, ornaments, oto.. selecting only the best and latest. As they subscribe for all the periodical literature in their,. line of business, they are enabled to keep up with tho times—adopt all the latest improvements and styles. They carry this through even tho smallest details, and it is for tills reason that their work is good in every part. In every department of the workshops, from the forge to tho finishing work,arc found eareful and skillful workmen who thorough ly understand their business, as they must to work in this estab lishment Every piece of work is carefully inspected before it is al lowed to go into a buggy, All through the shops we found bug gies in the various stages of con struction. No work is hurried through, yet the work is so kept np that a buggy can at any timo bo turned out to order on short notice. One of the specialties of this establishment is the building of a shifting seat buggy, so arranged as to be converted from a single to a double scat buggy in a few sec onds, and when so arranged, so perfect are its proportions, the weight being equalized upon the springs, so that there is no heavy weight on the hind # end os in all other shifting double scats, it would be thought that the scats were sta tionary and It was expressly con structed for a double seat. When arranged for a single seat, there is no sign of the other scat. These buggies arc made with tho Dexter Queea spring, and Oliver A Oliver were the first manufacturers to build a double scat upon these springs, lit the ware-room wc notioed one ot these buggies which had been made for Mr. J. R. Boyd, of Leary, Oa. Messrs. B. P. Hol lis and P. F. Brown, of this city, arc also usi ug them. As an evidence of the easy rid ing quality of the buggies manu factured by Oliver A Oliver, we mention an incident that occurred a few days ago. Two parlies started Irom this city for Magnolia Springs, carrying their lunch with them. One of them rode in one of Oliver’s buggies, and the other in a buggy of some other manu facture. On arriving at the Springs, the party that were rid ing in the Oliver buggy round their Inncb basket as neat as when they started, the dishes and jelly tumblers were all intact and every thing as it should be. The party who rodo in the other buggy were not so fortunate, for they found tbefr Jelly and pickles mixed up together, their dishes cracked and tilings generally in a mixed con dition. The moral of this anec dote and this article is, when yon want a good bnggy goto Oliver A Oliver for It. PBW TO1WT3. “That's my load,” is now the ory of the cotton buyer.
