Tliero were a number of valuable

method of getting married without
the knowledge of the old folks. Mr.

“See that chestnut tree,” ex
claimed Conductor Youug, as the
trnln whizzed past a noble tree
standing alone near Andersonville.
The scribe saw it. "That Is the
only chestnut along the line of road
that I have been able to dlscovor.
f used to pass and admire it without
knowing what it was. Finally this
sprfng I caught a whiff of the odor
from the blooms on it, and then I
knew what it was.”
“Tolu chewing gum," cried the
newsboy.
“Chestnuts!” cried the scribe ns
ho gazed out of the window upon
the big tree the conductor had
poluted out.'
“Isn’t it n bit singular," said
Capt. Young, as ho punched a hole
in a passenger's ticket and turned
to the scribe, “thnt these railroads
will go North and advertise Florida
nnd then hurry the Northerners
and Westerners through to that
State just ns though they were
afraid to lot thorn stop in Georgia
to see these wonderful lands, our
great timber forests, and all our
wonderful material and resources
for which every Northerner nnd
Westerners looking?"
The remark caused the scribe to
reflect. Tho conductor had told a
truth.
"Weddings make the world hap
pier,” said an old friend as he
dropped into a seat beside the
scribe. "There aro three bridal
parties on this train, and they are
at peace with ail mankind. They
don’t care whether corn’s selling at
fifty cents or ten dollars a bushel,
whether wo are under a Democratic
n Republican government,
whether its freo trade or high tariff,
whether tho sun's shining or the
moon, whether ILis prohibition or
wot, whether the country Is dry
and dusty, or whether it is flooded
by froshets, whether the fruit crop
Is good or gone—in fact, they don't
caro about nnything or anybody
but themdelvos. There ought to be
a marrirge oncouragement society
in every town, and I’ll bet ten of
the hest of Honry Lob's cigars that
the town having the most weddings
lias the biggest boom."

of the city, alphabetically arranged

frequent calls for a oity directory
but has always to give the reply
that Amerlcus has no such thing.
A directory placed at our hotel, in
the waiting room at the depot, at
the library and other public places
would go along way in the matter
of letting people know our citizens
are enterprising and publlo spirited
Our business men should take the
matter in hand. By all means, let
us have a city directory.

And the passenger was about
right. Amerlcus haB more enter-
priBlng people, and more hospitable
people, and more people in love
with their town than any town of
its inches in Georgia. Only throe
years ago the scribe saw it when it
had just begun to wear blled shirts
and put on efty airs. Now it not
only puts on the airl, but It has the
city to back it. It is not now a
town. The pretty new court house
doesn't say so, the big substantial
buildings don’t say so, the Amerl
cus, Preston and Lumpkin railroad
doesn’t say so, two good papers
don’t say so, and the stranger won’t
say so when he goes over the terri
tory and secs it. The town has gone
glimmering into the past and
Amerlcus is a city, full grown, or
ganized and equipped.

buy the whole amount of land for

he was a Now York banker, who
was there for the purposo of getting
possession of all the land and hold
