A trained goat is the latest at
traction to the little fellows.
The glass front m Kylantier’s

The coming tournament is being
advertised in all the neighboring
papers.
People from Lumpkin say that
Maddox A Perkins are getting
along fine.
The court house officials are

Stewart Jordan and Merrick

Our home band ia progressing
finely,and is endeavoring to get in

The hydraulic ram at the depot
is ready for work, but will not be
used until the new tank is put up.
The fire department has not yet
settled the question as to who will
sell pools for the coming tourna
ment.
The A. P. A L. road was an hour
and a half behind time yesterday
morning, on account of loading up
cotton on the line.
The plifg to put artesian water
on Cotton Avenue will be put in
as soon as the rest of the casing is
pulled out of the well.
The March winds are playing
havoc with hats and what little
dust there is. For the past three
weeks we have bad winds.
Council A Williford have rcceir
ed filly bales of ootton from the A
P. A L. this week. Very good for
the tail end of the season.
White trade is unusually dull in
Americus, traveling men say it is
the same all over the State, and
our city is just as well fixed as any
of them.
Montezuma can boast of her
selling lots of guano down the
river, but after she has sold it there
a season or two, she won't boast so
mfioh. It is a strange fact, but
Americus merchants could sell
three limes as much of the stuff,
but they prefer not to. It has
broke nearly every man who han
dled it.

His position is almostduc east; and
observers who glance at the eastern
sky in the early twilight will need
no directions for detecting his pres
ence. Mars is evening star. His
proximity to Jupiter affords a fine
opportunity for studying the dis
tinguishing features of the two
planets. Mars is luddy in hue,
Jupiter is the color of pale gold.
Attention to the starry curve or
arc, consisting of Regulus, Mars,
Jupiter and Spica. It may now be
easily traced and in the early even
ing seems to span the sky from
horizon to zenith. Venus is morn
ing star. She charmingly fulfills
the duties of her present role, and
will reward the earlyjriscr for the
eflort required to behold her bright
face. Saturn is evening star. He
makes a brilliant appearance in the
western sky, ami may lie found
nearly midway between Castor and
Pollux on the northeast and Betel-
guesc on the southwest. He will
be in conjunction wilhlbe star Mu

The Kufaula Fire Department
offers $125 for tht first prize in the
first test, the test being the same
as the one here. The second test
is the same as to be made here,
except that the distance is only
seventy-five yards. The first prize
ia $75. If the Wide Awakes get
an invitation, it is probable tbev
will go down and take in that $125
and the $75.
A Fine Cow.
Capt. Bell had his fine Jersey
cow driven up town yesterday
afternoon to let the people see her.
He has raised her from a calf, and
aaya abc will give more milk than
any cow in the State. She it a
beautiful creature, gentle as a lamb,
and will give as much milk as any
tamily in the State could use. It
would take a good sum of money
to buy her.

Patronize Home liuliiNtry.
Lately several drummers from
large citieB have been in Americus,
soliciting orders for jot) work.
They have met with little success,
us the work our merchants have
done can l>e executed ut the Re
corder office as neatly and as cheap,
and in many cases cheaper. With
the facilities we now have we are
not boasting when we say wo can
compete with Macon, Atlanta or
Savannah, as is shown bv the
quality and quantity of work we
do. When you want any job work,
give us a oall before placing your
order.
An Extra Train.
Tbo Louisville and Nashville
road lias had such severe washouts
between Birmingham and Mont
gomery that it is impossible for any
trains to run between those places.
On that account an extra train was
run from Montgomery up to Smith-
villc and by.Americus last night
for the accommodation of the
Northern passengers on their way
home. The train went up last night
about two o'clock.
Monochorda.
From the “Monochord,” a paper

we learn that W. K. Wheatley is

ball team, and that “Columbus by
crossing the ocean discovered
Americus." The amount of infor
mation contained in this little paper
is truly wouderful.

Hatcher Station Items,
Matcher Station, Ga., March 30th,
1886.—After one week of beautiful spring
weather which has brought forth buds,
leaven and flowers from forests Hnd fields,
the flower yards are beginning to odorize
the surrounding Jutmosphere with their
sweet fragrance. All nature seems to
have merged from its sombre and dreary
winter quarters, put oo new life and a
new spfiug dresH which is very pleasing
to the eye and soul of mankind.
On Saturday last it commenced to rain
and still continues, giving only short
spaces between showers, which brings
the corn up and general ood stands may
now be confidently expected.
The oat crop, which is very poor, seems
to be improving,' but it canuot possibly
mako an average crop.
Our farmers, in the main, have more
corn in their cribs now than for several
years on tirst of April, and fewer hogs.
1 notice, how< ver, that what few stock
hogs we have seem to be well treated, as
they are all, that I see, in fine condition.
Gardens are looming up under the in
fluence of the tine spring weather and
the early gardeners are now luxuriating
oj the early varieties of spring salads,
radishes, etc.
Home of our early planters on the river
are uow planting cotton.
Another mad dog scare in our neigh
borhood. Oo Thursday last a large cur
dog came through Mr. Jerry Crafts field
where his little twelve-year-old son was
at work,also the father was near by. The
peculiar notions, of the dog, which was a
strange one in the neighborhood, so
frightened the little boy that he begau to
scream and run for dear life towards liis
father, who saw him running towards
him ^nd ran to his rescue. The dog came
up near them when the father struck him
with a rock. The dog's mouth was foam
ing nod he appeared to be in very vicious
humor, so soon as he recovered from the
blow he made at once for the boy. The
father then set his yard dog, which had
come up, on the dog as the only remedy
to divert his attention, which was suc
cessful, but the yard dog was soon whip
ped out. The elder Craft took advantage
of the dog fight to get away with his son,
and procured his gun and seme assist
ance, persued the vicious dog and killed
it. Mr. Craft says that he is not suffi
ciently familiar w ith rubies in dogs, to
say whether the dog in question was
thus diseased or not, but he can say that
the dog was a stranger in the neighbor
hood, that it was dropping foam from its
mouth continuously.it was very vioiously
iuolined when coming in contact with any
living object, with glaring, angry looking
eyes. Before they killed it, it passed
through a Degree's yard, a chicken was
passing just before it, when the dog grab
bed it up aud shook its life out in a mo
ments time.
Notwithstanding the rain on yesterday,
forty-six persons attended the Mouticello
Sunday School.
