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, was well said ami would easily A DEAD AMENDMENT.

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. re m a hi [t ig varr y ,. 0 nvictlou that this w 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 week. 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.

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.

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.
