V ’r . 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.” J. J.
