CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST UPON US,
Another Pleuant Dance at the Club—
At the Theatre-The New Literary
Club—Other Points Pertaining to So
cial Amoricus.
Another week has rolled by, and
to-day finds the young people
bringing up the pleasures expe
rienced during the past week, and
looking forward into the future for
other happiness to be derived from
social intercourse.
Last week was brilliantly opened
Monday night by the compliment
ary German at the olub, given to
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Mardro, Mr.
and Mrs. Oscar Loving, Dr. and
Mrs. A. B. Hinkle. No dance of
recent date has furnished so much
pleasure to the ^participants, and It
stands on record as one of the hap
piest occasions of the season.
All the young people were out,
which is to say that the rooms pre
sented a scene of rare and exquisite
loveliness, made so by the presence
of a throng of beautiful women In
delicately elegant costumes.
Americus young ladles, always
lovely, exceeded themselves that
night, and the scene was greatly
added to by the presence of several
beautiful visitors.
An excellent baud from Colum
bus furuished music, and it was a
late hour wheu the last sweet air
was tripped through by the flying
feet.
The formation of the literary
club at the residence of Mr. U. B,
Harrold, Thursday night, an ac
count of which has already appear
ed througli these columns, is a
step which will he -a source of a
great deal of pleasure to the mem
bers. The main feature, as the
name shows, will be literary in all
lines.
Next Friday night the club meets
ngain at the residence of Dr. F. J.
idridge, when a constitution and
by-laws will be adopted. This will
only take a few minutes, and after
accomplished, au excellent pro
gram will be gone through.
Theatricals will also be gotten up,
aud the members are looking for
ward with great anticipation to the
meetings to come.

A Large Snake.
It Is getting late for snake Btorles
but a countryman reported the
killing of a large ouo neAr the city
last week. He says It was a rat
tler, the first he has ever seen near
his place. It was killed by a negro,
who came noar being bitten before
discovering it.
You make no mistake If you oc
casionally give your children Dr.
Bull’s Worm Destroyers. It is a
nice candy aud while It never does
harm It sometimes does a world of
good.
The race for tax collector prom
ises to be a warm one. The great
number of candidates will bring
out a big vote, and our political pro

Only two plays were to be seen at
the opera bouse during the week,
at both of which were large audi-
ences. “Bluebeard, Jr.,” was wit
nessed by almost as large an audi
ence as was drawn out by George
Wilson the week before. The play,
as advertised, I* a spectacular ex
travaganza, and no attempt was
made at anything like aetiug. The
comedy work wus ludicrous, but
decidedly extravagant. One source
of regret was that tho stage was
too small to allow the putting up
of much scenery, and thus most of
the spectacular part bad to he left
out.
However, the costumes were
jetty, the girls made up well, aud
the audieuce was pleased with the
performance.
Hi PerkiuM Friday night, also bad
a good house,* und gave a good
show.
And the People are Beginning to Pre
pare For Our Holiday Seaton-The
Merchants Are Opening Up Their
Christmas Oooda—And the Gayeit
Time of tho Tear la Approaching
Rapidly.
Thu young ladies of Americus
will soon organize a ridiug club.
This healthful aud pleasant exer
cise is 'one to which our young
ladies arc greatly addicted, and any
afternoon numbers of them may be
seen goiug through the streets out
Into the country, gracefully riding
their steeds. It is a delightful ex
ercise, and no city can boast more
graceful riders than Americus.
Do you realize that another
Christmas Is almost here?
Two weeks from next,Thursday is
the 25th of December.
The time is near at bond, and
once again .the proverbial .tin horn
will be heard echoing and re-echo
ing through our streets. Onceagaln
will the little ones be made happy
by the annual visit of Santa Claus,
and the older people by remem
brances more or less handsome and
costly from their friend.
Once again will the small boy
monkey with the toy pistol, and
laugh gleefully as the country ca
nine tries to outrun the cracker
tied to his caudal extremity. Then
is the time too when he wishes his
stomach could keep up with his ap
petite, and at night fights the fight
of the brave wrestling with the
huDks of fruit cake and mince pie.
This Is the time, too, when the
song Is heard:
Christmas comes but once a year, *
And if I get drank nobody should care.
Whether tbii part of the program
will be carried out or not is a ques
tion of doubt, but certain it is that
the, sight of flowing liquids during
the holiday season will not cause
surprise.
Only a little over two weeks more
and the day is here.
It can hardly be realized that
year has passed since the last
Christmas was celebrated, but time
flies rapidly, and the day Is almost
at hand.
Already the people are beginning
to prepare the good things, and
many a Housewife will be busy tbiB
week ami uext getting things lu
shape for the gayest season of the
year.
Already the children are prepar
ing their stockingB for the visit of
their gray whiskered and ice cov
ered friend, and putting notes up
the chimney for him, telling him
what would please them most.
The young men are carefully ex
amining the jewelry stores for ap
propriate presents for some special
friend, and diamond rings, of
course, attract the greatest share
of their attention. Young ladies,
too, are on the lookout for things
they tbluk will please their friends,
or some especial friend in the
steruer sex.
To-morrow, our merchants who
make specialties of holiday -goods
will begin spreading their stock,
and the city will assumb a bright
er aud prettier aspect in their
neighborhood. A Recorder rep
resentative Was shown some of the
many beautiful articles of all Borts,
which will be displayed, and can
truthfully say that a,lovelier line
Cannot be found In nuy city, unt^
whatever you want you can get.
Things applicable for ladles or
gdntlemen, old or young, and there
will not be that proverbial amount
of trouble in looking for gifts for
your friends:
To-morrow, as stated, the mer
chants will begin arranging their
wares lu attractive manners, and
Christmas shopping will bo the or
der of tho day.
Catarrh is not a local but a con
stitutional disease, and requires a
constitutional remedy like Hood’s
Sarsaparilla to effect a cure.

The tax bill was not reached in
