Preparations had been made by the people of Americus to extend to him a grand ovation when he reached the city, which it was sup posed would o?cur to-morrow. But intelligence has been recelv* ed that the Congressman would reach home to-day, and owing to Its being Sunday the ovation was nee essarily postponed.

SOME BITS OF GOSSIP PICKED UP HERE AND THERE. It now appear, that thing, are taking on a new aapeet in the boll lug Seventh and especially in (he .oven hilled metropoll. of Rome. It aeem. that Dr. William Brad' ford contributed an article to John Martin’. Tribune which charged Curput with aomo irregular! tie. in a bu.in.l. matter while he vu a citizen of Macon. Well, tbe communication was not auch aa would delight Captain Corput, aud be went before the grand jury of Floyd county and obtained a true bill again.t tho druggist. That i. placing a very aeriou. feature on the leglalatlve campaign in Floyd, and tbe boiling of the political oauldron i. now seething with personal bltterne... .When it waaknown that Captain Corput waa before the grand Jury for the purpose of getting the true bill, It aroused the most luteuae in terest all over tbe city, ami when the jury returned the* bill found truen ripple of exoilment awopt over the fair metropolis of tho mountain.. What the outcome will be no ouo knows, but it is feared by many that what was commenced aa only political difference, will terminate 111 serious trouble of a peraonale na ture. A few days ago Editor John Locke Martin announced tiirough the Tribune that be would go be fore the grand Jury and Indite some of the opposition leaden for libel, a few.'daya later he went bo lero the afore.ald body, but tho result of hls visit is not yet known. - If thing, go on a. is now indi cated moat all the candidates, edit or. and sub-polltielau. of tbe moun tain metropoll. will be Involved in lawsuit, before tho campaign I. over. However, the Seventh can stand a little lawlng mixed up with it. boiling polities. Theeieetnocars area source of inestimable enjoyment to the peo ple of Americns. It would be im possible to get along without the •treot railroad now, aud the long, weary Sunday afternoons, wbat >n tbe world would the young people do with them If they could not take a ride around tbe line when tbe cooling hours of tbe waning day came? There are many way. of apemllug the Sabbath afternoons. In Ameri cas. The first few hours, which arc usually warm, are .pent by everybody quietly at hoina reading, or talkingover the morn ing sermon. Later, the young peo ple go out for a stroll along tba sandy streets which lead out to tba suburb., or go out riding. When tlie 1st., cool nnd pleasant boors coma ion. of them board tho cars and fide out of town and spend an hour or two. Occasionally you -will find a party wandering out to the silent A CROWDED CITY. the more sacred ntmosplieru of the abode of the dead. Among the visitor, to till, place will be found many people of mature years and in tho afternoon of life, and usually they are people of a serious and re flective nature. To every one of whatever calling or tem|ierament, the quiet hour, of a sabbath afternoon bring, some thing particularly refreshing. There 1. a kind of sympathy In the d.csmlug quietude and a nameless | .‘see in tiie relaxation from busi ness; nn opportunity is present ed to pause in the onward ru.h and tliluk for a moment where sad wliat we are, and we are always better for the thinking. The Tari.kt. How Americus does grow! “Let me tell you," said Dr. Joe M. Itosworth yesterday to The Re- cnitfiEn, "you have the blggeat town In Georgia for its size.” Last wlntsr Dr. Bosworth was in Amerlcua practicing hia profession. He had a auite of rooms in the Thomas Block, and was attending patients who came from twenty count!... Howascal.-edaway,and visited several sections of tho state. He gave notice when he left that he would return, but did not retain hia rooms, thinking It would ba no trouble to get others. Last week he returned, as he had promised i hls |>atien)s be would. Standing iu front of The Rkcor- iikr building, with hia bands clasp ed together, with a genial sm!!e playing over ills face, he said: --I have hunted the town over for an office. Not a vacant room can be found, aud It is only through, tho courtesy of Prof. Van Riper that I have scoured two -rooms in tbe second story of the Hart build ing, directly in front of The Rf.cok- ukk building.” "Of courso,” he continued, "I would like to have rooms facing tbo street, but after looking over Ain er- Icus, I am thankful to get any.” "I never saw anything like it in my life,” ho said, "tha growth of your oily. When I left you were digging great wains in tho streets for your sanitary sewerage. I thought tlieu you wore building too fast. Now I see you are wise in your feneration, and hereafter will be a steadfast believer In any enter prise Americus takes hold of." "Another thing that astonishes me. A lsdy patient of mine wants teoome to Apierlous while law treating liei I have looked in vain to secure a room for her in sonie pri vate house, ora boarding bouse.. Not a place tian I find. True, aha- could go to a hotel, but $00 a month is mote than she can allbrd to pay. Ills strange that with tho hundreds of houses I seo golug up in every part of the olty I cannot find one - room for her!” 'Every place I go I find It crowd ed. Your whole city Is overcrowd ed, nnd the only fear I have is that you cannot accommodate the great number of new residents' who are Hooking here." Dr. Bosworth has probably visit ed every city of any else in tho State tho past year, while attending to patients, and he Is not given to talking. Wliatlie says tjt tho growth of our city Is valuable as tbe testi mony of n gentleman of high char acter and great observation. By locating In Amerlcua he thus shows hia faith in her future (realnets, for many; flattering offers have been made to .him to toeste else where, as oven Atlanta people are ■etltlouid| him to open hls oflles here.
