Tiis Rxcordeb's painted edition
of yesterday morning carried the
town, and although we had printed
an extra large edition, we were
compelled to put the forms to press
again.
Friday and Saturday it was re
ported that two morn candidates
for mayor wore out, making in nil
five. With this number in the
field it ought to he an interesting
race, as It will undoubtedly be,
Friday night telegrams were re
ccived showing that Kufaula nnd
Montezuma were wild with enthu
siasm over the election of Cleve
land. Americus was sleeping quiet
ly, determined not to have 1876
repeated.
Deputy Sheriff Cobb Hurt,
Late yesterday evening, while
trying to arrest a negro, Deputy
SherifT Cobb had his left arm bro
ken just below the elbow. During
the fight Will Feagin shot once
Cobb twice nnd killed the negro.
The coming of cold weather has
had the effect of producing mnny
severe colds throughout the city.
Every one should be careful not to
allow colds to qccoine deeply seat
ed with the beginning of winter in-
as much ns they arc apt to last
during the season.
The Daily Recorder.
Our people certainly ought to
appreciate, now, the advantage of
having a live daily paper published
in their city. For the past week
tho Recorder has every morning
published in substance all tho most
important election news and given
it to its readers six hours in ad
vance of any other paper. To do
this has required an immense
smount of extra work and consid
erable expense. In return we ask
of our pcoplo their cordial support
in the way of legitimate patronage.
Every family in the city should
subscribe lor it, and our mer
chants should use it liberally as a
medium for advertising their
goods. With increased patronage
we can promise them an increase
in the quality and quantity of our
nows.

No Cause for Alarm.
Years ago, in the days of carpet
baggers and scailawags, the no
grocs of the South were told by
these Radical scoundrcds that if
the Democrats ever again got into
power, they would be put back in
slavery. It is this fear that has
prevented the negroes from voting
the national Democratic ticket, al
though they often vote with the
Democrats on local questions; and
it is this fear that has caused a de
cided commotion among the ne
groes of Americnt since it was an
nounced that Cleveland was elect
ed. This fear was increased yes
terday morning by the appearance
ol the Recorder in its joyful hue
of carmine, they believing that it
meant war upon the blacks.
Now wc want to say to the ne
groes that the election of Cleve
land will have no effect upon them.
Their rights will be luily protected
in every way. Southern Demo
crats have heretofore been their
best friends, and will continue to
be so. It ia they who have given
them free schools, who have be
friended them in their efforts to
help themselves. The sooner the
negroes are assured of this by
DeaooraDitht better it will be for
all oo&cercid.
Building Association.
Editor Recorder—As a citizen
of Americas, and one interested in
her growth and prosperity, I ask
permission for the use of your val
uable paper for the purpose of put
ting before tbe public tbe plan I
have arranged for the conducting
of a Building Loan Association,
something that is alike beneficial
to the rich as well as the poor, and
an enterprise in which I should
think every citizen would be glad
to invest his money. And it is tbe
intention of jour correspondent to
place in the Recorder office a list
of the number of shares it will
require to successfully run the as
sociation, said list to be ready on
Friday morning, and every good
citizen is invited to call and place
opposite his name the amount of
shares he is willing to subscribe
for. When tho requisite number
of shares is takeo, which will be
twenty-five hundred,a meeting will
be called and a permanent organi
zation effected. We will begin by
calling tbe enterprise “Americus
Building Loan Association,” which
shall have for its object tbe accu
mulation of a fund by the savings
of shares of tbe members thereof to
assist them in business or enable
them to purchase for themselves,
respectively, such real estate a3
they may desire. All persons legal
ly capable of holding property,
either by themselves or trustees,
may be members, but no person
shall own less than fire shares or
more than twenty-five shares. Each
share of stock will be valued at one
dollar. Each stockholder, lor each
share of stock be may hold in the
association, shall be entitled to
purchase an advance oi two bun
dred dollars, and no more. Ad
vances shall be disposed of in man
ner hereinafter prescribed The
available funds shall bo put up at
each regular meeting, at the follow
ing rates ot premium:
For the first year the sum per
cent, first below named shall be
charged; for tho second year the
sum per cent. Becond named, and
the rate shall diminish in like man
ner each year during the period of
six years, but if any stockholder
shall not have received an advance
at the end of that time, then the
lowest of such rates shall be
charged until that result is accom
plished.
First year 50 J-'oartb year 47
Seoona year 49 Fifth year 4G
Third year 48 Sixth year 45
Seventh year.... 44 .
The stockholder bidding the
highest advance on these rates
shall be entitled to tbe sum on
which his bid is made, but should
an advance not be bid, then any
stockholder who msy hid the fix.-d
rate shall bo so entitled. Should
tbero bo no bid for the funds at
any meeting the names of all the
stockholders shall be placed in &
receptacle from which the presi
dent shall draw a name and the
stockholder thus designated shall
bo compelled to take an advance,,
ns the success of the association
depends upon never having funds
on hand. Any stockholder taking
an advance Bhall pay to the
treasurer in addition to his month
ly dues for shares one dollar per
month on each sharo for which
such advance is made or rate of
C per cent, per annum on the whole
amount including the premium.
Trusting that this plan of opera
tion will meet with the approval of
those who read it, and that the re
quisite number of shares wilt soon
l-e subscribed for, I am, with much
hope to soon become a member of
one of the most successful Build
ing Loan Associations in Georgia,
Observer.
WHEN WE JOLLIFY.
Last night a number of citizens
met in Hitt & Co's cotton office to
appoint committees and arrange
for a grand blow oat next week
probably Wednesday night. As
many of the people aro still in
doubt as to whether Cleveland will
be counted out or in, it lias been
thought best to postpone the fun
until that time. Besides,to get up
a demonstration that Will fully ex-
press the enthusiasm and pleasure
of the people will take some time.
Torches and transparencies will be
gotten from Macon, and a commit
tee will, be appointed to hunt
around and sse if a little powder
can't be found. There is not a flag
in the city large enough to do tbe
occasion j ustiee, or it would have
been found floating from the Re
corder building yesterday, and so
flags will have to be procured. The
fact is, not being used to having
any occasion to jollify, the city is
not overstocked with material good
for that purpose.
It is true wc haven't got any
thing line for an occasion like this,
but Georgia woods furnish some
mighty nice pine that burns well,
and we might delicately intimate
that all such contributions will be
thankfully accepted. Lst every
body turn out on the night of tbe
jollification. We invite our neigh
bors in Smitbville, Dawson, Cuth-
bert, Albany and ElJarille to join
us in the shout that the South is
treed onse again!

Mr. M. M. Folsom is tbe duly author

To the Ladies & Gent’emen who failed
to get waited on at the New York Store
during tho rush of the past two weeks
will never again suffer a like disappoint
ment, for we take pleasure in informing
the public generally that we will have
here by the 10th three now salesmen, ond
hope then to be able to give our custom
ers all the attention they deserve.
