Americus is the centre of trade for six
counties comprising the richest agricul
tural section in Georgia, the average an
nual cotton receipts being 30,000 bale*,
which will bo largely increased by the
completion of the Preston and Lumpkin
railroad now in process of construction.
It is the largest city in Southwest Geor
gia, and has been appropriately named
the ‘•Commercial Capital” of that sec
tion, and it is rapidly growing in popu
lation anil wealth. As a place of busi
ness residence it presents attractions
equaled by fow cities in the Houtb.
Property of all kinds is comparatively
cheap, although rapidly advancing in
value; tho inhabitants of both city and
country are cultivated, courteous and
hospitable, with a cordial welcome to im
migrants. To enterprfslng tradesmen, ju
dicious capitalists and industrious farm
ers this section of Georgia offers tine op-

INSURE WITH THE

Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 8, 8:00 p. m.
—RECottnEB: Cleveland is elected,
Tbe Republican National Commit'
tee claims fraud and intimidation,
and three Southern States, but 1876.
can't be done over again. Tremen
dous excitement here.
H. W. GitADY.
New York, Nov. 6, 9;30 p. M.—
The New York Times telegraphs
that Cleveland has carried New
York Stato by 2,000 majority,
Barnum has telegraphed ail the
State committees to shoot their
guns lor Cleveland, that he was
elected and would take his scat.
He has telegraphed Cleveland noti
fying him of his election.
The following wn copy from the
Constitution of yesterday:
November S By Associated
Press: The latest figures received
by Governor Cleveland give tho
democrats a majority in the state
of 2,766.
New York Nov. 6.—New York
gives small plurality, but a safe one
for Cleveland. New Jersey and
Connecticut are both certainly
democratic. Colonel! Vilas tele
graphs that Wisconsin is also for
Cleveland. Tub World
New York, Nov. 5 The E,ve-
ning Post bulletin states that 1,580
districts in the stato, outside of
New York and Kings county, show
a Democratic gain of 12,068. The
Herald bulletin is now being heard
from and continues to show Demo
cratic gains sufficient to give tbe
state to Cleveland. The Times
bulletins say Virginia is Demo
cratic by 5,000 majority. Believe
no more Western Union or Associ
ated Press dispatches. Tlieg are
all false.
7 p. m.—To Thu Constitution:
I have just visited the democratic
headquarters. They are firm in
the belief of Cleveland’s election.
The Times and Herald have Just
posted bulletins claiming Cleve
land 's election. The Times warns
all parties not to bclievo Associat
ed press and other reports in favor
of Blaine. • W. A. U.
Chicago, Nov. 5.—To the Con
stitution : If the present ratio of
Democratic gains in one-lhir< the
State is maintained, the Democrats
will carry it by ten thousand. I
think, however, the Statu will give
Blaine a plurality.
Melville E. Jones.
New York, Nov. 6, 4:30 P. M.—
According to all accounts Cieve
land is elected. No doubt of it.
The World.
Nov. 6, 5:20 v. M.—Tito revision
of tbe returns hy comparison ot
majority reported with the full offi<
cial vote of Erie end Ulster coun
ties, and the correction of an error
made by a polling clerk in Rich,
mond county, and just discovered
make the Ogures Blaine 554,739,
Cleveland 554,379. Blaine’s plu
rality 360. •
Nov. 6, 8:50 P. M.—Returns from
ail election districts but 23 give
557,084 republican votes, 556,052
democratic . votes. Republican
plurality 432.
INDIANA.
Nov. 6, 12:30 P. M.—State very
close; probably requiro official
count. Returns received from
nearly half of state arc rather fa
vorable to the republicans, and
would indicate a plurality for them
of over 2,000
Nov. 6, 2.45 p. M.—751 voting
places show net republican gain of
5,317.
Nov. 6, 3 P. M.—Regular returns
by precincts oontinne to show av
erage republican gains sufficient to
give them the stato by small ma
jority; but democratic committee
has advices showing large demo
cratic gains in districts not report
ed. This may give the state to the
democrats. In any event the ma
jority will bo small. Official re
turns by counties will be made
to-day.
MICHIGAN.
Nov. 6, 12:30 p. M.—Returns
received up to this time which in
clode complete returns of Detroit
and Grand Rapids give Blaine
majority of 2,000. Congressional
delegation will probably stand six
fusions lo five Republicans. Re
publicans claim small majority in
legislature.
VIRGINIA.
Nor. 6,2:45 p! M.—Returns from
outlying counties in southwest in
dicate further democratic gains.
NEVADA.
Nov. 6, 2:45 P. >:.—Five coun
ties givo Blaine 704 majority, one
county gives Cleveland 21 majori
ty. Cassiby re-elected to con
gress. Democrats elect entire leg.
islativc ticket.
MISSOURI.
Nov. C, 2:30 P. M.—Indications
are that Maratlukc, Democrat for
Governor, has 10,000 majority.
Cleveland's plurality In State will
be about 20,000. Democials elect
12 Congressmen, Republicans 2, a
gain of 2.
COLORADO.
Nov. 6, 12:30 p. M Blaine's
majority in the Stato is estimated
at 8,500.

There is a kid in St. Paul that
should be killed. Last Sunday
evening he crawled unde; the sofa,
and when his big sister and her
best young man were sitting aa
c'ose together as possible, rigged a
slip-knot around their feet, when
tho old gent came into tbe parlor
to look for bis oigar stub they
thought they would occupy separ
ate pews. The young man fell over
the center-tahle,and Mery Ann eat
down upon the floor with a two
hundred to the square lneh con
cussion that dislocated her adjusta
ble bangs. Tbe old gent thought
that TlAdoIphus was drunk, and
bit him with his cane sixteen times
before ho could tie himself loose
and fall out of the window. The
match is deelsred off.
The Horse Belonged to the Republic.
From tho Memoir* of an ex»Miniat*r.
Louis Napoleon invited me to
drive with him at St. Cloud and
see the hones, which I did. Among
tbe horses was a splendid dark
chestnut, which the stud groom, an
Englishman, led out to show me.
The President, after admiring him
much,ordered tbe man to send him
to his stable at Paris. "I can’t do
that, sir,” he replied, “the horse
belongs to the repubiio.’’ As we
were sitting in the phreton, Louis
jogged my arm and observed, “You
see my position; it is time to pat
an end to it.” Driving home, he
made no secret of bis intention of
being beforehand with bis enemies,
and there was no mistaking the
means tie would take to be so.
Washington, Nov. 6, 1:46 p. M.
Hon. C. F. Crisp—Accept my
congratulations. Cleveland is elect
ed beyond a doubt. Office-holders
arc sore. Albert Drane.

Old Madeira wine hae always
been very popular in Washington,
especially on tbe tables of their
The annual report of tbe comp
troller of Texas shows that the
lono star State continues to grow
rapidly. The increase in taxable
property over last year’s assess
ment is |63,000,000. It is now
(583,000,000 against (311,000,000
lour years ago. Population also
keeps pace with the increase in
wsnllii. The population to-day is
2,215,709, an increase of 628,964 in
four years, or over 155,000 pe*
annum. If this rate of increase
continues Texas will, by tbe next
census, have a population of 8,200,-
000. The tax books do not show
half tbe real wealth of the State.
The railroads are assessed at
(40,000,000, when they are worth
(200,000,000. The Stato own*
(100,000,060 worth of property
which is not assessed. It is worth
noting that all this progress has
occurred under Democratic rule.
The question of tbe death of
Strang, the cadet at Annapolis who
was rolled in a barrel by a party
of imzcrs, is to be brought into
court. His family, having inveatl-
gated tho matter, believe that cer
tain of tho Imzcrs canheconvloted,
and if so, their punishment will
not be light. Should some of the
refractory hazing cadets be sent
enced to prison lor manslaughter
it is probable that the Annapolis
Academy would no longer be
troubled with hazing; but it epeakt
ill for the discipline of that insti
tution that tbe persons in oharge
ofit arc powerless or unwilling to
put down hazing of their own ac
cord. Whether such “accidenta"
ns the death of Strang be due to
incompetence or negligence, tbe
authorities of tho Academy are
equally blame worthy.

fashionably, yet shabbily, dressed,
generally wearing soiled white kid

considered tbe proper thing to la-
