The Banker’s Daughter,
No play for years has boon put
on tbe American stage which has
been eo generally successful as the
Banker's Daughter. People who
bave.witnessed it doztus of times
Still flock to see it again when even
presented by a fairly good compa
ny. J. F. Crosscu'a company,
which appears here, is highly spok
en of by the |tcbs throughout
tbe country. It is the only coinpa
ny which possesses lira sole right
to produce it. The Uuifalo Courier
of October 21th, 1883, speaks in
the following terms of the compa
ny and the play : “At the Grand
Opera Home last evening that
greatest of American plays, The
Banker’s Daughter, was presented
by J. F. C'rossen’s company before
a largo audicnco which did
not fail to give a manifold appro
elation of their satisfaction nt the
manner in which the characters
were enneted. The plot of the play
is already too well known to re
quire an extended review in these
columns. Suffice it to say that the
many thrilling and interesting sit
uations were listened to with wrapt-
attention by the auditors, and tbe
members of tbe cast were rewarded
with numerous hearty encores. The
piece was very effectively set, the
most notable scenes being the veu
tibule and stairway of the house o'
the American minister at Paris, in
act third, and the ruins of the
chateau near Paris when the duel
takes place in act fourth. The play
will he repeated this afternoon and
evening, and from the favor with
which it was received lust night, it
is safe to predict largo uudieuces."

A THING OF BEAUTY.
TRe Sew Beet Reel ot the Mechanize,
The new hose reel, for running
contests, ordered hy the Mechanics
Fite Company No. 2 at rived Wed-
nceday morning. It is four-wheeled,
light and strong, handsomely fin
ished, and admirably suited to the
purpose for which it was ' made.
The reel proper hangs upon linelv
polished steel springs, which in
turn rest upon steel supports ex
tending on each side from lure to
hind wheels. The sides of tbe reel
are made of sheet iron, which are
liandaunely painted. O. er the top
ol the riel is an Lrc:t made of
uicki 1 plated supports, and in the
center of the utch is hung a ham'-
s one ornamented lantern bearing
the inscription ‘ Michanii'S—2.'’
On each side of tbe areli Is hung a
neat nickel-plated lantern. On each
side of the carriage is painted in
handsome gilt letters the rauie-
"C. F. Crisp.” In front, between
the forewhtels, is a smaller arck
supporting a gilt frame in which
appears the portrait of tbe distin
guished gentleman for uhotuihe
reel was named, while on each side
and below the frame are two bright
handsome, clear sounding bells.
The wheels are large, light and
strong, handsomely finished
Throughout the carriage is nrtisli
cally trimmed with .nickel orna
ments, and altogether it is the
hanilsqmest, best built running
hose carriage in the Stale. It vras
built by Messrs. Summers & Mur
phy, of Barnesville, and narrowiy
escaped being destroyed in the
late conflagration at that place. It
was exhibited at tbe State Fair in
Macon au-1 attracted universal at
tention and admiration. The Macon
Telegraph says of it:
“The reel is now on exhibition
in Premium Hull, and visitor* to
Itiut ball admire it for its beauty
and goad workmanship. Its weight
when stripped is about 45U pounds,
and is full nickel plated, Wuh two
silver bells and ornamented bead
light, in which is a portrait of Uon.
C. F. Crisp,alter whom it isnumed.
The axles and springs arc of bright
work, and a trimmer, neater, or
more serviceable machine was never
sect, in Georgia. It is the finest
piece of work ever liir.ned out by
Summers Si Murphy, and the boys
ut Aiuciicua may well be proud
of it.”
Tbe Macon correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution says:
There was on exhibition the
most beautiful tioso reel ever made
in Georgia. There is none like il
in point ol' beauty, style, lioisii and
durability. It is perfect in all ft*
par's, sufficiently light, and very
easy running. This lour-wheel car
riage has attracted as much atten
tion and udmirulion as any one
other exhibit ill each uud all ot the
departments. It was made to
special order for the Americus fire
cumpauy, and was named in honor
of Congressman Crisp, whose hand
some picture adonis the reel.”
Tbe new reel will he appropri
ately christened to night nt the
hall of the company, tho pro
gramme of which we have already
published. Very naturally the
Mechanics are very proud of it,
and their pridu in it is shared by
ail the people ot Americus.

New Advertisements.
Short crops, no rain, too warm
for this season of tbe ) ear, lots of
dust, money scarce, cotton too low
and dull times are the answers now
given by all the irercimnls, r ben
the “How do you do?” isgivtn
them, but bow different with the
Bargain Store men. Here goods
arrive and disappear rapidly.
On the first of September last
tbit new store was opened with one
of the largest f tucks of Dry Goods,
Clothing, Cloaks, Hats, Snoes and
Millinery ever brought to Amcri-
cus.
Kvery day since then, new and
fresh goods bought by their New
York buyer arrived, and now he
finds himself compelled to go to
New York to make his second com*
plele purchase in all lines. Never
has anything happened to equal it
in tbe history of the Americus dry
goods trade.
Tbe only and best reason -.bat
can be assigned to this cxlranrdi
nary success, may be summed up
in the pluck and enterprise used
by the proprietor, and the fact that
the purchaser is not slow to find
out that here is the place to trade.
While other merchants have held
their goods at regular prices and
profits, be saw fit to reduce Ids
enliro stock to such prices and
profits that would meet theapprov
ulof everybody and everybody’s
pocket, and succeeded with flattfr j
ing success. But we are not near
at the end yet. Money is getting
scarcer daily. St 11 harder time
are coming, and what will be the
final result is better imagined than
told.
The Bsirga n Store man’s pro
gramme will be a regular march.
He proposes to march down with
tho prices ol all his goods yet in
stock, in order to march to New
York with the proceeds to buy
goods lower than they were bough)
before.
In order to raise as much money
as possiblr, the Bargain S orcofieis
before bis leaving during tbis
week extraordinary inducemi nts to
every body, including country mer-
hauls. Goods will be sold regard-
le.s of c >st, price or profit.
