From a telegram received here Saturday night wo learn that tho Ladie’s Base Ball club, of Phila delphia, will play a picked nine hero Friday afternoon. The club is spoken of aa very fair, but of course cannot compare with pro fessionals. It must be an amusing eight to see girls play ball, any way. The Balloon. Somewhere near five hundred people were out yesterday after noon to eeo the balloon go up. Two attempts were made, both being un- euccessful on Recount of wettwpod being used, causing steam to 1 be rnado instead of hot air.

Felder for Mayor. The Hon. John B. Felder, the present effloterii' Mayor of tbo city of Americas,, ls„again. standing for re-election. Municipal government, Iiko all others; are good or bad In proportion as tiiarafficgre are faith ful, wise and just. The best test of fitness is a fair trial, if after trial sufficiently long to develop the qualification of an officer be is fonnd worthy, faithful, lust and compe tent, it were worse than folly to dis place him. Changes are at most but experiments. We think we but express the opinion of all impartial citizens when we say that Mr. Felder has shown himself to be the right man in the right place. His devotion to the interest of the city is praise worthy; bis fearless enforcement of the law in preserving order and quiet entitles him to the gratitude ol all lovers of peace. We do not claim for him iufalibility, but this much can be said in bis behalf, that while sitting as a court be knows no difference between friend and foe, bnt metes out justice with im partial, j udgment. No question however exciting, no interest of individual, when in conflict with the common good of the citizens of Americus, moves him to act con trary to bis conviotions of right; but, regardless of. the effect upon his personal popularity or indi vidual interest, the good of the citizens of tho city ho has the honor to represent in the capacity of its chief officer is ever paramount. With such a record, would it not be best to continue him in office? In office for a number of years, bis friends point to his official rec ord as a monument of honesty, to which he, in common with them, may refer to with pride. Under his administration the city has grown rapidly, and promises, in the near futnre, to be the metropo lis of Southwest Georgia. With such a Mayor, the good people may rest assured that all will bo done to suppress crime, protect property and secure order that can be done. His personal courage, his devotion to the right, bis fear less administration of the law and his untiring watchfulness over every intorest of the oity, marks him as a man fitted for the impor tant trust committed to bis eare. Alive to all public interests, whether financial, educational or moral, his voice is ever potent in the advocacy of such measures as are most likely to produce beneficial results. Let us unite our votes and honor him and benefit ourselves by reelecting bim. Citizen. XMAS, If you want a nice Christmas dinner—and of course you do— go to Buchanan & Son’s lor your fancy canned goods, sugar, flour, and in fact anything in the grocery line, for you will there get the cheapest and the best.

The trapeze man tried to olimh tho pole and replace the rope, but had to give it up.
