Augusta seems determined to
have a grand firemen’s tournament
next spring. Active preparations
aro already being made. Tho
Chronicle says: “Chief Platt is
determined to make the coming
May parade and trnuo carnival a
grand success, and to stimulate
the citizens as well as the firemen,
he offers a gold hadgo to tho citi
zen who sells tbe most tickets, and
a flue suit of clothes to tho fireman
who sells the greatest number.
The tickets will bo on sale with
the ladies at tbe fair, with tho fire
men, and a number of merchants.”

at last night’s performance greeted

—was admirable In his way, look-
iug aa hideously grotesque as red
paint and flour could make him,
and in a matter of flying all to
pieees without any warning at all,
and then suddenly pulling himself
together again after the fashion of
Jointed snake, he is certainly un
surpassed, Mr, Devine, the' Har
lequin aud Miss Laura Miaco, Col
umbine,'were very good; all the
characters were well made up; their
tinsel glittered with nnOsual bright
ness, and the mechanical effects in

City I
It has been sq,
we deem the suggestion an emi
nently proper one, that the citizen
tax-payers of the city, who are
We deeply Interested than any
Other to tbe management of city
affairs, should meet and nominate
candidates for the various city
offices. It baa been tbe fault of all
heavy tax-payers In all cities that
they took too little interest in the
selection ,(M Abe meD managed
the affairs of the city, and to this
rale Americus is no exception. As
a rule the men who do the most
growling and make the most
charges against the management
of city affairs take the least interest
In tbe election of officers. This is
wrong and la liable to lead to mal-
administration, as it did in Ne,w
york-cItyAJf Lhftre is' any class
who should take an interest in the
election of city officers, it should be
tbe mou who pay the taxes. It is to
their interest that the affairs of
tbe city should be economically
administered without hindering
such enterprises as would tend to
tbe building up of the city. There
ought to be no strife in the elec
tion of Mayor and Aldermen, for
all feel the same interest in secur
ing honest and efficient officers,
and we are satisfied that all strife
could be avoided and the best offi
cers secured by the united action
of our citizens in a meeting called
for the purpose. With the united
support of the better class of citi
zens, there would be no necessity
for any candidate pandering to
the prejudices or passions of tho
lower glass who pay little or no
taxes and are interested in the
election only to tho extent of what
they can make out of it. J’hat
oity succeeds best which is united
in action and whoso government is
administered in the interest of the
whole people.- -There are no great
issues at stake in the coming city
election, and there is no reason
why the citizens should not unite
upon good men for officers and
save a mere personal fight, which
may result in barm, and can result
in no more good than if a people’s
ticket was unanimously elected.

Maples Mill, III., Nov. 29.
Editor IIkcobder—I have been
taking your paper abont one year,
and Hike it very much. Enclosed
you will find post office order for

We are having some winter hero.
It snowed nearly all day yesterday,
so tbe ground is covered, but it
not cold. We have had good crops
in tbis part of the state the past
year. Notwithstanding the Repub
licans said if the Democrats elected
Cleveland we would have to work
for twenty-five cents per day, corn
would bo worth fifteen ortwenty
cents per bushel, pork two centB
pound, and everything else in pro
portion, they have been happily
disappointed. Everything moves
along as before. Yours truly,
Edwin Pbiston.
Enough Honor.
Messrs. Bell, Morgan and Wil
liams, at present members of the
Oity Council, whoso term expires
this year, have decided that they
have had enough honor in serving
the city as Aldermen at nothing a
year and curses throwu in, and
consequently will not be candidates
for re-election. They aro all good
men, have served the city faith
fully, aud we are sorry to lose
them; but we cannot blame them
for wishing to retire from a post
lion where their best endeavors
meet with more criticism than
praise.

•‘Protector's” Frolic.
Last night Protector Hook and
Ladder Company had their annual
frolic, and from tho indications and
the preparations wc saw in the
afternoon and before going to press
we are confident they had a big
l.ime. Henry Anderson is tho pop
ular foreman of the company, and
when he puts hia hand to anything
he does it np right.
A young attorney who had a case
in Anderson ville, which was act for
trial Thursday, awoke too late and
missed his train. Nothing daunt
ed, he set out afoot, attended court,
gained his ease just in time to miss
tbe down train and so was compell
ed to come back afoot. If this isn’t
an example of true perseverance
yon may call again. ,
