AMEBIOUS, GA.
From all over the State come re-
port! of the dullness of society. At
lanta and Macon have lately wit
nessed many entertainment!, but
till! sudden awakening from the
social sleep is accounted for by the
fact of tiie exposition and fair.
Other cltiea seem not yet to have
awakened from the summer dolce
far niente. and are only now yawn
ing and stretching in anticipation
of the pleasures of the winter sea-
Hut not so witii Aruerlcus. Even
during the bot season, whe>i many
of tiie society folk were of!' at some
summer resort,
kept up a happy round of delight
ful social gatherings. During tiie
two past months everything has
been gay, ami our city has estab
lished Itself as one of the leading
cities in this respect, as iu all others.
CAUGHT ON THE FLY.
“You know,” said a drummer, as
he threw himself hack in a chair la
the Allen House corridor last night,
“that Macon folks are mighty
proud of their city, «nd at the same
time are extremely jealous of ’he
reputation of Amoricus, and tiie
great strides you are making?
“Well, I saw a leading man hail
ing from tiie Central city immense
ly taken down in Ht. Louis a few
weeks back. He had gotten into
conversatiou with the hotel clerk,
and the talk turned upon the South.
The Macon mau naturally referred
to Ills city,amJ spoke iu high terms
of its Importance and wonderful
iruprovemeuM. You know how a
man can talk up for his home,
pecially when it's as good a town
as Macon, anil for about fifteen
minutes he poured forth the praii
oi bis city in almost extravagant
term! and In eloquent lauguage,

And she has a right to bt», for
what constitutes a social city bid
social people? Amcricus has al
ready established a reputation as
the home of young ladies, conspic
uous for their beauty and accom
plishments. They are thus recog
nized as far as tiie city is known,
and the name A merle us has gotten
to lie synonymous with lovely wo
men. Then the young men lack
nothing lu those characteristics so
absolutely essential to society in its
true and best condition.
These two points are tiie main
ones iu making acity lively—young
ladies of accomplishment and
young gentlemen of appreciation—
and those acquainted with our peo
ple can easily soo why we have a
city superior iu social pleasure.

city of the South,
“The dlerk seemed interested, and
evidently wanted to show his ap
predation, so when the speaker da
Islied, and leaned back iu his chair,
witii a satisfied look, be said,
thoughtfully: 'Let’s see, I’m not
very familiar with Georgia. Macon
Is down about Americnssomewhere
isn’t it.”
“The question was asked iu all
earnestness, aud was well meant
but the Macou man was disgusted,
and pretty soon I saw him pull out
for his room.
The past week has beeu taken up
by plays at tiie opera house and to
all of them the youugpeople turoed
out iu good numbers. The/ are
proverbially foud of the theater and
always attend almost iu a body.
The fact of the number of plays
caused the weekly* german of the
club ta be don# away, with, as all
desired to go to tiie opera house,
and to give It on a night betweeu
would bo almost too much lor oue

Did you ever notice that there
are very few cigarette smokers in
Americas? The habit of using the
little death dealer is a most preva
lent one, aud iu moat cities
you find a majority of the smokers
are addicted to it. Here, however,
there are very few who smoke
them, and as au unti-cigarette city
Americas ranks first.

back to the pipe, aud the old and

Next week will he fraught with
pleasure. Tuesday night the A. H.
A. Club gives a reception compli
mentary to Mr. and Mrs. \V. E.
Hawkins, recently returned from
their European bridal tour. Mr.
Hawklus has been a member of
the club sluce its organization, and
a member whose interest In all Its
affairs has aided much In the pros
perity of tho club.
The receptlou to be tendered the
couple promises to be one of the
most pleasurable of tho season.
'Extensive preparations have been
made, and a good band to furnleh
the muslo for those who delight
in Terpslchorean revels.
Congratulations have already
been showered in the utmost pro
fusion upon the newly wedded
couple, aud by the reception of
Tuesday night the club as a body
will offer its well wishes.
Among the most notable social
events of the city, will be the mar
riage of Miss Mattie Hollis to Mr.
Frank Lanier, to take place Wed
nesday noon, at the residence of the
bride’s father, Hon. B. P. Hollis.
Miss Hollia is recognized by all as
one of the city’s fairest and most
accomplished daughters, aud a
more universally popular aud ad
mired young lady cannot be found
In our midst.
Mr. Lanier stands among the
first, both as a business man and
socially. He moved here from
West Point, and from the first has
steadily risen to the present high
place he holds, aud bis future bids
the brightest prospects of continued
success.
The wedding of this popular
young couple attracts attention
from all over the Slate, and well
wishes will float in from every
quarter.

They were slttiug around a hot
Are, and the subject turned to places
that were warm aud experiences
they bed bad of great heat. Then
spoke a traveling man: “One ulght
last winter I found myself iu a
small town iu the gas belt of Ohio.
Il was cold as blue blazes, and I
was shown up to a little room in a
broken-down hotel, the only oue lu
the place. There was no Hr# in the
stove and the room was as dilapi
dated aud dlacousulatc a looklug
place as I ever saw.
“The boy who showed me up
opened the door of the stove, turned
on the gas aud III it. You know
that lu the belt the natural gaa Is
used for everything.
“Well, the room began to get
warm, and undressing, I want to
bed, bot thinking of the gas
which I had left burning. The
room was hardly comfortable, aud
1 nerer thought of It getting too
hot. Well, I was very tired and
dropped off to sleep Immediately.
“About two hours afterwards, I
suppose, I began to have horrible
dreams, with which the place
where they don’t shovel snow was
tbe principal part.
“All of a sudden I awoke, and
Great Scott! I thought my dreams
were true. The floor of the little
room was covered with moltea
metal. The stove had gotten so
hot that It melted. Tbe melted
stuff was already over nearly all
the floor, and but a few bare spots
remained, which were being rapid
ly covered.
“I leaped from the bed and hit
one of the spots. Jumped to another
and got out the door.
“By this time the room was tak
ing Are, and I yelled with all my
might. I was covered with perspir
ation, my nightclothes were wring
ing wet, aud I had to knock arouud
In tbe oold for several minutes be
fore I woke up the folke. I got
them up, though, aud put the lire
out. I loet ail my clothing and
baggage, but 1 was triad enough to
get out alive.
“That’s my hottest experience.”

Atlanta. Nov. 1.—The discov
ery is mart* ny the Constitution
that the amendment providing for
the reading of bills in the legist*
ture by their titles only Is not
adopted, an has been announced.
It Is not for the lack of votes that
this ie the case, but the amendment
fails because of failure to advertise
as provided by law. The act pro
viding for the submission of the
queHtiou to the people expressly
states that the amendment must be
advertised In at leant two papers iu
each congressional district for two
months before the election, at which
it v as to be submitted to the peo-
nle. There were the same provis
ions iu the law relative to the sub
mission of the amendment for the
pensioning of veterans’ wl *ows.
This latter amendment was pub
lished according to law.
But iu some way the adveftise-
inentof tbe other amendment wan
overlooked, and it was not until
tiept. 22 that It was furnished the
papers. The election was on Oct. 3.
Tbe advertisement waa run from
Sept. 23 to Oct. 3, t ut fhe delay iu
furnishing it for publication was
not noticed until to-day.
No explanation of the cause of the
delay or of the apparent effort to
conceal it-la obtainable, Governor
Gordon Jand Major Warren being
ont of the city. Judge Nlsbet says
he knows nothing about it.
Had the mistake not been discov
ered aud had bills been read by
their titles, as if the adoption of the
amendment was ail right, all such
bills would probably have been con
sidered invalid had a question at
any time in tbe future been raised
upon them.
