There in nothing which can pro
duce a more solid satisfaction m the
breast of the enterprising and hope
ful citizen than the sight of rapidly
growing brick walls, broad and
solid stone foundations, all of
which are the prophecies of sub
stantial blocks, stone pavements
aud macadamized, street*.
The progressive citizen of no city
in the South has more to strengthen
confidence in the city's future pros
perity than lias the man of Amer
icas.
The walls of the elegant new
hotel have already risen to sufllcent
height to attract attention, and in
a few months more the vast open
space which has so long lain un
occupied on the corner of Lamar
and Jackson streets will support
one of the finest hotels In the south
ern part of tho State, and will be a
building to which the people of
Americus can point with pride and
upon which strangers must look
with admiration.
The stoneffoundatlons of the new
City Hall, which will grace the
court house block, are being rapidly
laid by a force of skillful and in
dustrious bands, aud it will be only
a matter of a few days beforo that
building will raise its elegant and
attractive front above Lee street,
and the city government will be in
stalled in its elegant new home.
The walls of the great building
Johnson & Harrold, adjoining the
Allen House, are growing rapidly
under tho effort of scores of busy
hands, and in a very short time six
magnificent brick store rooms, with
tho most attractive fronts in the
city, will be ready for occupation,
These rooms have all been engaged
and will be occupied just as soon as
available, aud the completion will
be a notable acquision to the bttai-
ness buildings of Americus.
There is also a vast amount of
resident work being done too nu
merous and too vast in its sco|>e to
receive enumeration here. But on
all hands there is more that should
form a source of enduiing satisfac
tion to every true lover of AraerL
cus, and more of those things which
other less fortunate oities dream of
and hope for but never realize than
can be found in any city in the
South. Americus Is the place for
you to keep your eye upon.

COURT IN ABBEVILLE.
A SAD DEATH.
News was received in the city

general favorite among her
friends, an only Idolized daughter
and a fair young bride, her deuth is
peculiarly sad ono. To the moth
er, on whose already atrlcken heart
the blow falls so heavily, we tender
our deepest sympathy, knowing
that only Heavenly help cau como

derstand the dispensations of Provi

unrolls a leaf from tho scroll of time,
and we draw nearer the full realiza

beyond, our prayers of thankful
ness may ascend to our Father for
taking our best loved darlings
away, and though we called them
dead, wo will know they were trans

and were mercifully spared tho pain
and hoartachcs that so many of

Aiihkvillk, Sept., 23.—Abbeville
court is iu session this week. Busi
ness is progressing very nicely and
with dispatch.
Judge Pate Isou the bench trying
cases that Judge ltoberts is dis
qualified in.
A number of bills are being
found against parties for illlegal
voting iu tho recent election held
in Wilcox for the removal of the
the court house from Abbeville to
Bocholle, In which Abbeville came
out ahead.
Considerable rivalry exists be
tween these two towns, and it is
feared that troublo may yet grow
out of the questiou before it is
settled.
Col. Hawkins arrived in the city
last night. He is much sought for
during court week In Wilcox, and
the people look upon him as their
savior, as tiie 8. A. M. road has re
centlv developed their wonderful
resources, put considerable money
in their pockets and gave them
business never dreamed of before
the advent of tho H. A. M. road.
Abbeville is on a considerable
boom. Tiie price of property i
daily increasing and finds a ready
sale to auxious buyers, who believe
strongly in tiie future of this old
town, ihade new by the energy of
people.
The Abbeville an.I Waycrossroad
is being built us rapidly as possible.
About twenty miles have beon
completed and a daily schedule la
now being made for the accomo
dation of the planters and mill men
of that section.
Ill the opinion of the Recorder
Abbeville Is the best town on tho
eastern division of tho 8. A. M.
road, aud all due to the earpest
work of her enterprising citizens.
Mr. It. V. Fuller received the sad
nows Monday that hia brother-in
law, B. 8. Sheppard had been kill
ed on that day at C'liipley, by t
neighbor by the name of James
Crawford. There has been an old
family feud between tho two gen
tlemen, and friends expected that
it would result in this manner, and
have endeavored to settle it, but
without avail. Mr. Hheppard leaves
a wifo an eight children almost in
destitute circumstances, as he was
a poor man Wo extend our sym
pathy to brother Fuller In this sad
bereavement.
Court will hold all the week,
there are several criminal cases to
be disposed of,besides an enormous
amount of legal business.

Broke Up the Bhop.
Yesterday a negro who ha9 be
come wonderfully expert in man
ipulations of the needles of for
tune (if no better names can be
found for the chance tables or
uickle trap) went into one of the
machines yesterday, aud was so
sucessful that he soon,exhausted
the bank account of tho concern aud
forced the proprietor to make an
assignment of his monkey shine
wares.
The other night the writer of this
article sat in the arcade of the La
nler House in Macon listening to
conversation between four commer
cial tourists.
They were all close and intelligent
observers, and belonged to that
class of grip carriers who go every
where, see everything, aud are up
on any subject that can be mention
ed, from the perfect rendering
Hamlet to the best sugar and lard
market iu the union.
They all hailed from the com'
merclal center* of the east aud north
and wero discussing "business
down south.
One of the uuuiber, the repres
entative of a great dry goods con
cern in Cincinnati,said :
"Take Georgia as a State aud we
sell a third more goods iu it than
any other State in the Union, and
our books show that the collections
in Georgia are better than any other
State. North Alabama is good, but
Georgia will beat it.”
"Yes," putina tobacco man from
New York, "the business of all tho
Georgia cities I have visited is won'
derfully satisfactory."
The conversation then drifted to
the d liferent cities, and the first
speaker said:
"Of the places I have visited there
is not one I regard as a better bind
ness point than Americus. I have
been going there for a long time
and I unhesitatingly pronounce it
the best city In the State of its
size. There is more push and oner
gy, more goods sold and sold to
better advantage, and does a better
business all around than any place
with which I am acquainted.
They all agreed that Americus
took the lead as tho best and most
satisfactory business place In the
State, and all spoke in tho highest
most glowing terms of Its future.
On the Central passenger train
the writer overheard two men from
Chicago speaking of Americus after
this fashion:
I stopped over," said one, "a
few miles back, at Americus. It is
a bran new town, aud seems to be
a wonderful boom, although you
do Hot read much about it in tho
papers.
The railroad! that run Into the
place are completely covered up
with work and the freight depots,
so a railroad man told me, are run
uing over with freight and both
roads aro unable to mruagu their
enormous business.
*1 hoard a great noise there about
labor. It seemed that a regular
labor famine was raging and it* was
Impossible to get hands.
I heard them spoaking of seud
ing oil’and having bands shipped
to tho place by tho car lot. Most
of these hands are wanted for the
vast amount of building that Is
going on iu the town. Tbero.wasa
great cry for houses aud board, but
the domand could not be half sup
plied, aud everything is fearfully
high there. Rents, board and prop
erty stand at high figures. I took
lide around tho electric line,
which runs for u few miles out into
the country, and I saw more new
houses and more poople at work
than I ever saw In any place In my
life. There is no mistake about
Americus being the coming place
of this section."
The other traveler expressed
great regret that he had not stopped
over and looked at tho Magic City,
but declared that he would keep
his eye on the booming city and
the next time he cime South he
would take in the place, ami if
everything suited he would invest
In some dirt. The Tablet.
New policemen!
The forco Is now increased to
eleven men.
For several months the elty gov
ernment has been considering the
advisability of increasing the polled
force to meet tho domands occa
sioned by the wonderful Increase In
the imputation .of Americus, and
the general expansion of the city.
Tho Counoil,as will bo*remember-
ed, at a recent meeting recommend
ed tho increase of the force by
electing five additional men, whose
term of service should coinmenco
on the 1st of October and continue
until the first of April of next year,
and to then expire unless tho de
velopment of conditions In ‘the
meantime justified that they be re-*
taiued on the force.
Some time ago, even before the
council recommended the increase
of the force, numerous candidates
were in the field, desiring to be
come uniform wearers and protec
tors of the |»eace.
After tho. council recommended
the increase of the force, the police
commissioners were berielged with
the applications of candidates
seeking appointment.
The commissioners met Monday
night but, owing to the absence of
one of their number, nothing was
doue, and they adjourned over
until yesterday afternoon, when
thoy again met with n full board
present.
The commissioners were'in ses
sion for a considerable time, and
the election was held.
The five men chosen from the
vast crowd of applicants were: W.
U. Ray, J. F. Fletcher, P. L. Cham
bliss, W. C. Barrow and W. K.
Harris.
Mr. Barrow was electod to fill the
uuexpired term of Officer Cobb,
who recently resigned from the
force and entered the dry goods
business.
Mr. Barrow, who has been serv<
ing on the force temporarily since
Mr. Cobb’s resignation, has shown
himself fully equal to the require
ments of the position,and In due ap
preciation of that fact his election
was made unanimous by the Com
missioners.
There is some doubt, and contld-
orable discussion about the compe
tency of Mr. Clambllss becoming
an officer, bocauso his residenco Is
located without the city limits, and
thore scorns to be some ordinance
or clause In the charter of the city
which It Is thought will prohibit any
ponton who la not a resident of the
city from becoming a policeman.
This, however, is a question for
lawyers to decide, and It Is probable
that Mr. Chambliss will go on with
the balance of the forco next Wed
nesday, which Is the first day of
