As an indication of what a busy

east yesterday, and three ears of
freight west. But hardly a day

Saturday morning about !0o’clock
Judge Allen Fort returned from
Webster Superior Court, where he
had been holding court during the
Week. The train which the Judge
came in ou was a little late, and
Mr. Laing's friends were impatient
ly waiting the arrival of the
Judge.
As soon as Judge Fort readied
tile city a writ of habeas corpus was
worn out and presented him, which
be signed, and forthwith Mr. Lalng
was brought before him. After a
brief hearing the Judge hound Mr.
Cuing over to the next term of Su
perior court in the sum of $25,
W'hicli bond he quickly gave, and tie
was released. And so far that is
how tho matter stands.
We understand thnt Mr. Laing
bus instructed his attorney, Col. L.
J. Blalock, to bring suit against the
Mayor and City Council for $10,000
damages for imprisoning him when
they should have taken bond.
Mr. Laing seems to have gained a
temporary victory, at least, as Ills
fish and ice box still occupy its
accustomed place in front of Messrs.
Brown. French A Hainil’s store.
Whether it will remain there all
the time remains to he seeu.

Funeriy Notice.
The friends and acquaintances of
Mr. Robt. R. Rutherford anil fami
ly, and Mr. J. R. Leamon and fami
ly, are respectfully invited to at
tend the funeral services of Mr.
Robt. R. Rutherford from Calvary
Kpiscopai Church this (Tuesday)
afternoon at three o'clock.
Died.
Mr. R. R. Rutherford, who lias
been confined to his bed with ill
ness for some weeks past, died
yesterday nfternoon about 1 o’clock.
His death was a surprise to mauy,
who had uot even known that he
was ill. What his disease was we
were unable to learn. Mr. Ruther
ford was well known in this city
and county, having been a resident
here for many years. HeYame from
Columbus to this place, where he
married Miss Nettie Comes, a sister
of Mrs. Jno. R. Leamon, who, witli
several oliildren, survive him to
mourn their loss. Mr. Rutherford
wus a book-keeper by profession,
and was one of the best in the State.
Of late years he has not hud regular
occupation, und lias inudo a living
buying cotton und keeping books at
odd times. He was a good-hearted
man, a kind and loving father and
husband, and was himself his worst
enemy. His family have the sym
pathy of the entire community.
On Friday of last week, Mr. M.
Oilman, of Brunswick, was seen in
Americue shaking hands wiih old
friends, and at the same time talk
ing business.
After taking a tour of the city,
Beeing the improvements that have
beea made since he left, Mr. Ullmnn
and Mr. O. E. Lowe, a broker of
Americus, started out to salt the
merchants.
On approaching our merchants
they all said they had salt enough
to last a year; then Mr. Ullmau got
in his work. “We propose to lay
tills salt down here cheaper tiiiin
you ever bought it before,” said he,
and you can sell it at whet
you have heretofore been paying
for it."
“Well, that is strange,’ said Mr.
Merchant.
“Strange or not,"said Mr.Uliman,
“we propose to do it, and another
thing, we are going to sell other
tilings beside salt here, and you
should now make Just one trlul
order.”
"But how will you do It,” was
asked. “Weil, just hold up, and
will breathe something In your ear.
You have been buying salt and
paying high freights. Now, we will
sell you salt, ship it by boat to Ab
beville, thence by the “baby road’
to Americus, and by contract with
the A. P. A L. management we eau
lay it down here cheaper than you
can in almost any other city in
Oeorgia."
“All right, send me one car load,”
said the merchant.
Ho, when the day’s work was look
ed over, Mr. Ullman and Mr. Lowe
ha<t sold over one thousand sacks of
Virginia and Liverpool salt, (eight
car loads) and one of the merchants
Who bought told a Recorder man
that he bad been doing business in
Americus for twenty years and he
paid less for this salt than he ever
paid before.

to visit Abbeville, and Inspect the

with the trip, as the road is as

gentlemanly and aflable, and every

pleasant. The boat was there, and
proved to he immense, but quite

Li mhkin Oa., Nov. 14, 1887.—It
waxeth warm—the Prohibition
campaign—and every effort is being
made to again defeat the sale of
whiskey in Stewart.
The prohi’s propose to fight the
devil with fire, and to defeat the
sume will use whiskey to influence
the colored vote.
On Saturday evening I stood by
and listened to one of the colored
prohi’s argue witli his brother
about the evils of it. Just after
supper a gentleman was standing
on the steps of Dr. Patterson’s drug
store and this same colored brother
asked him if he had got his medi
cine, when he replied that he did
not come for any. But the prohl
insisted on finding out ahpnt the
medicine and before he found out
ills mistake in the Identity of the
one to whom he was talking he
says “that medicine that you was a
lookin’ fer on de cars.” He saw
that he was mistaken about the
person and politely begged pardon,
but It was t<*> late, the jig was up
and the ent out of the sack.
It certainly seems bad policy and
not a good principle in morality,
nor a very great amount of consis
tency, to buoy up their strength
with the very evil they are fighting.
In their meetings they speak of the
moral Injury to the people, and the
sinful example to the rising genera
tion, yet it is the weapon they pro
pose to wield to win a victory.
The antis are awake, hut not alto
gether as demonstrative, but are
loing some effective work. In the
immediate vicinity of Liimpkiu the
forces are concentrated. Lively
times ahead and plenty of free
liquor for oufiy.

The Bonn Market.
Our cotton receipts continue to
show that Americus is the boss cot
ton market of Southwest Georgia,
slid is entitled to the cake for pay
ing high prices for the staple. Last
week Americus was paying ail the
way from a quarter to a half cent
l>er pound more for cotton than any
of her competitors, and as a conse
quence when the farmers got their
Weekly Rucorders Thursday
and Friday and saw liow things
were they just humped things to
get in town, and good receipts and
big sales were the order of the day
last Saturday. As a result of this,
our merchants did a good, brisk
business selling goods all day.
Americus stock is crawling upward,
and in a season or two it will be be
