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.

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.

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.

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. PERSONALS.
