. Answer to Above,
Americus, Ga., Feb. 6,1891.
Messrs. Peddle & Co., Chica-
. - go;'.'Ill:,"Gentlemen:—I shall
not trouble your agent to call
on me this season. When I
purchased of you it was be
cause- I thought that I could
not get Clothing in my own
town which would be satisfac
tory in price and fit. Having
given a trial order to John R.
Shaw, the champion Clothier
Outfitter'of this city, I am
so well pleased with the result
in. every way that I shall con
tinue to give him my patron-
agST"" Yours respectfully,
At last the people are waking op to
the necessity of the electric line being
owned and controlled by a local syndi
cate. ;
For weeks they have bewailed the faot
of the stopping of the cars, bnt no steps
were taken to start them again. ;
They fully expected the present com
pany to put things in shape sodn, and
run everything In first-class styljL Now
they feel that they have waited . as long
as they oan, and are spurred on by the
rumors about moving tbs lino to some
other point It looks to them as if there
will be nothing done unless' they take
hold, and of tbia there has been consid
erable talk recently.
Within the past few days this talk has
increased to serious discussion, and sev
eral of our moSt prominent men say
they are more than willing to go into a
company and purchase thq entire plant.
It is understood that the cost of materi
al and construction was something over
$80,000, and while no proposition has
been made, it is thought that the trade
can bo made for $25,000.
The idea is to get one hundred men to
put in $100 each, making $10,000. This
amount will be paid cash, and a mort
gage given for the remainder. That this
price is very low is recognised by all
who know the property. It is bonded
for $50,000.
It has become .clearly evident that
Americus can not do without her elec
tric cars, and everybody is sick of look
ing at the track almost buried. Now
is an important time in the history of
our city, and if there ever was a period
when the people should act this is it.
Realising this some of our ablest and
most influential men are working up the
matter, and if you are approached, re
member ho'w great a good It will be for
this enterprise to be run by local par
ties. Then Hie best interests of the
town will be looked to, and yon as well
ac others will be helped inestimably.
There can be little doubt about the
success wbich will be met, and the day
when the alarm fclang of the electric
cars, operated by a home company, is
beard will bp a most eventful and joyful
one to the whole city.
No better news could be given out
than this, and although the company is
not yet organised, it may be taken as
certain that not many weeks will pirns
before you will again be whirled over
the streets in the cars propelled by Hie
mysteriuos fluid.
'The greatest of interest is felt in the
matter by all who have heard of it, and
great will be tbe rejoicing when news of
theconsummation of the trade is given
out.
And this assuredly is net long off.
Tbe'Rotliw . Property to be Purchased/ feels In the success cf the now enter-
Ths Movement Just St.rtcd-lSet prise which has inaugurated This Timeb-
Recoedeb, a paper combining capital,
intelligence, inflnenco and business en
ergy—everything necessary to make it
one of tbe best daily papers in the
state—and as I cannot do this In a more
substantial way, having no money to In
vest in it, I have adopted this method
of giving the best practicable demonstra
tion of tbe fact that I am la full sympa
thy with this new enterprise, and, a*
one of the oldest citizens of Americus, I
appeal to my friends everywhere, not
only to subscribe for. the paper, but to
do all they can to sustain it
Americus has been trying for some
time to publish two daily papers—al
most a hopeless task—for l^ie writer,
though an old man, dees not remember
a single instance in which a town of the
same . size of Americus, has ever suc
ceeded in publishing two daily papers,
except for a very short time, and I think
the business men and capitalists of
Americus acted wisely in consolidating
the two papers, for it will enable them
to publish a much better paper than
either could have been otherwise, and
with more profit to the stockholders.
I want to say, besides, that the Tiues-
Recobpeb will not only give yon the
latest news and a great deal of other val
uable reading matter, but you can get
your “job work” done at the office as
cbeap and as well as you can in tbe larg
er cities.
During a good many years the writer
visited New York twice a year, and fre
quently had “jobs” done there, bnt now
be finds there is no necessity to go be
yond Americus to have sueh work done,
either as regards the character of the
work or the expense of getting it done.
Some time ago I carried a volume of
Clark’s Commentaries, that was almost
literally torn np, to the Times office for
lepalrs. When I called for the book I
hardly knew it, for they had put it in
perfect order, and the charge was very
moderate, much less than I expected. I
mention this not only for the benefit of
the Times-Recobdeh, but hopingit may
be of so,me profit to others.
I could write more, but I am afraid the
editor will say, “this is enough, snob as
it is,” but will not add what the overseer
said of his fare: “It -is good enough,
what there is of it.”
