“ We do hereby certify that tee supervise
the arrangements for all the Monthly ani
winter cold. Americus has a population
*tea on high
of 6,000, is beautifully situatei
and rolling ground and boasts of some of
the handsomest business blocks in the
South. The city has fine public schools;
good churches; a large pnblic library;
one daily, one semi-weekly and two
weekly newspapers; a new opera bonse,
completely furnished witu scenery and
capable of seating 1,000 persons; a well
organized fire department, including
two tine steamers; the streets are well
paved, sewered and lighted; there are
two liouring mills, a cotton seed oil mill,
planing mill and variety works, carriage
factory, and a number of minor manfacto-
ries; about two hundred firms are engaged
in mercantile business; three banks with
an abundance of capital; two good
hotels furnish good accommodattion.
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 bales,
which will be 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 and wealth. As a place of bitei-
ness residence it presents attractions
equaled by few' cities in the South.
Property of all kinds is comparatively
cheap, although rapidly advancing in
value; the inhabitants of both city and
conniry are cultivated, courteous and
hospitable, with a cordial welcome to im
migrants. To enterprfsing tradesmen, ju
dicious capitalists and industrious farm
ers this section of Georgia offers fine op
portuniticg. Any information in regard
to city or country will bo cheerfully fur
