Americus is th3county seat of Sumter
ouiitv. Georgia, situated on the South-
we.-tern railroad, 71 miles southwest of
M uon, and about 80 miles north of the
I'i. rhla line. It is situated in the tinest
section of Georgia, raising a greater vari-
etv <>i agricultural and horticultural pro-
( jtjcts than any other part of the South,
.•omhiuiug all the fruits, grain and vege
table.s of the temperate and semi-tropical
r . ( , nert —wheat, corn, rye, oats, rice, Irish
/rut sweet potatoes, peanuts, chufas,
iiotton peas, sugar cane, apples, pears,
pciiohes, grapes, plums and other fruits.
Tin climate is mild and equable, and one
nt the most healthy in the world, the air
hei'ig pure and ont and most beneficial tor
lung and throat diseases. All kinds of!
outdoor work can be performed without |
inconvenience from summer heat or j
winter cold. Americus has a population j
i.f r.,UU0, is beautifully situated on high'
M nd rolling ground and coasts of some of
tin handsomest business blocks in the
South. The city has line public schools;
nl churches; a largo public library;
or.e daily, one semi-weekly and two
Weekly newspapers; a new opera house,
completely furnished witu scenery and
capable of seating 1,000 persons: a well
organized tire department, including
two line it earners; the streets are well
paved, sewered and lighted; there are
two flouring mills, a cottonseed oil mill,
pi; niug mill and variety works, carriage
factory, and a number of minor manfaclo- j
rics; about two hundred firms are engaged j
in mercantile business; three banks with
an abundance of capital; two good I
hotels furnish good accommodattion. j
Americas is the centre of trails for six j
counties comprising the richest agricul- 1
tnrul section in Georgia, the average an
nual cotton receipts being 110,000 bales, I
which will be largely increased by the j
completion of the Preston and Lumpkin j
railroad now in process of construction,
it is tin largest city in Southwest Geor- I
gi.i, and has been appropriately named I
the ‘•Commercial Capital" of that sec- |
tn ii, and it is rapidly growing in popu
lation and wealth. As a place of busi-
n- > residence it presents attractions
iqudcd by few cities in the Eolith.
J’roperty of all kinds is comparatively
fin up, although rapidly advancing in
value: the inhabitants of both city and
conn try are cultivated, courteous and j
hospitable, with a cordial welcome to im
migrants. To enterprising tradesmen, ju-
dicious capitalists and industrious farm

Notice is hereby given that the copart

llrm name of alyed, because with 336 brands to
* 1 .*mli t in'! ay n* be inspected there ia no time for
olina method of sampling is fol
lowed. The agents of the depart
ment of agriculture go about quiet
ly und draw their samples in the
most obscure places, so that they
are sure to hit on the ordinary
quality of the fertilizers sold in the
Slate. None of the manufacturers
know where or when they are go
ing to take samples, and they risk
a great deal it they send any faulty
goods into the State. But in Geor
gia it is different: The theory is the
same, but|is not properly followed.
When a manufacturer wants to
cheat the department and the
farmers he ships into the State at
the very opening of the season a
cargo of high grade goods—better
than he usually makes—and then
notifies the department that the
lot is in such a place ready for
sampling. The agent samples it
and the analysis is made from this
sample, which in fact does not
truly represent the class of goods
shipped into the Slate later in the
season.”
“I)o you know this to be so?”
“Yes, I do. Some of tbe manu
facturers and agents have them
selves admitted it to me. I know
members of tbe church and Sunday
school teachers who appear to con
sider it a perfectly legitimate trick,
excusable because others do it.
Some of these dealers practice it,
believe, sending in later shipmen's
of goods which come up to the
standard required by the depart
ments of agriculture, but below the
standard ot their lirst shipments.
Y'et, while such a practice exists,
you can see that there is nothing
to prevent a manufacturer who haa
hail an early shipment analyzed
trom sending into the State after
wards goods much below the de
partment’s standard.”
“But isn’t that a very risky busi
ness?”
"Not so much as you would
think. There may be several sam
ples of the same goods drawn at
different times during the season,

Thc offer was excepted, and upon
ber arrival at the next town the
old woman was arrested at the in
stance of the men who bad tempted
ber to sell them drinks. The
prisoner was tried in the United
States court at Knoxville. A fed
eral judge, a district attorney,
three lawyers and a dozen jurors
devoted their tremeduous energies
to the case for a half a day at a
cost to the government of three
hundred dollars. The defendant
was crushed under a sentence ol
$ 100 fine, and one year in jail. The
$100 fine was an impossibility; the
jail was not. She was locked up
and her little cabin, pet pig and
chickens will know her no more.
The majesty of outraged law was
vindicated, and justice carried the
day. Such is a brief synopsis of
a case recently reported in the
Knoxville Tribune.
A Nad Meeting.
Dawson, Ga., January 29.—Mrs.
Georgia H. Cbevcs, wife of Mr.
Q. W. Chcves, who killed Captain
T. H. Pickett, came down from
Lumpkin yesterday to visit her
unfortunate husband, who is now
confined in jail here, awaiting his
trial for murder at the February
term of court. The meeting be
tween them is said to have bceu
very pathetic and sadly touching.
This is the first time she had seen
her husband since the terrible
tragedy was enacted by him. Mrs.
Cbeves i* a most excellent lady,
and she has the sincerest sympathy
of all our people in the present
sad and trying ordeal which she is
called to pass.
is difficult to estimate. The latest
reports from the settled region,
east of the Cascades, are that large
numbers of persons froze to death
during the late cold and protracted
• low storm. Numbers of persons
during the continuance of the
storm are known to have wandered
off and perished. Most of the
bodies of such persons have been
recovered-sin.ee tbe snow disap
peared. Very recent inquiries
among relatives and friends disclose
the fact that many persons are still
missing, and that their whereabouts
ate unknown. There can he no
doubt as to the fate ot these miss
ing parsons. The precise number
of persons perishing will probably
never be known, but it is large.

More About Sykes.
Bruuawiek Brets*.
Captain J. A. Sykes, (colored),
formerly postal cierk from this
point to Albany, and who was
transferred to the VVaycross and
Chattanooga railway post office,
was arrested for tampering with
the mails, and carried to Savannah.
Ha figured very conspicuously here
in all tbe Republican meeting# and
was at one time connected with a
paper published in Savannah in
the interest of the colored people.
United States detectives have been
watching Sykes for some time. We
understand that about two months
ago one of tbe train hands caught
him in the act of tampering with a
box, and in bis confusion and ex
citement Sykes unwittingly placed
one of his mail receipts in the box,
which was duly delivered to its
owner, who finding the receipt and
a portion of the contents of the
box missing, reported the fact to
the postal authorities, who caused
Sykes to be spotted in conse
quence.

Daniel Webster’s Opinion.
Hew York Herald.
Not very long ago, the opinion
of Daniel Webster on a question of
Constitutional law would have bad
great weight. It ought to nave
some weight now—enough at least
to induce Senators to revise their
opinions very carefully before con
firming commercial treaties which,
according to the judgment of Mr.
Webster, were clearly beyond ths
•reaty making power. It was hit
judgment that the whole basireas
of revenue undoubtedly belonged
in a peculiar aense to the House of
Representatives, and that tha
treat/ making power had io right
to snsrossk apes tt.
