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 though^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
and 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
age. Yours respectfully,
JOHN R. SHAW
Announces to bis friends and pat
rons that he .is prepared
to furnish
THE BEST GOODS.
-AND GUARANTEES
PERFECT FIT
At prices lower than any out
side or other competing
Clothier or Tailor.
Seldom has it been the pleasure of
Americus to contain a finer body of men
than the representaUres to the Grand
Lodge of the Knight! of Honor, who are
now in the city.
Most of them arrived Tuesday, but the
train yesterday brought in several who
were delayed.
The organization Is one too well
known to need comment, and knowing
the kind of men who compose the lodge
here, all expected to see a fine body of
men to represent the others of the state.
And their expectations wero
than realized.
In all there are something over a hun
dred delegates, and every one is a man
of whom any community would be
proud. They are lino lookin men, and
men who boar the stamp of intelligence
on their countenances.
Upon their arrival they were taken in
charge by the reception committee, and
escorted to the various stopping places
where arrangements had alroady been
made.
Tlie first meeting was in the form of a
reception, beginning at 0 o'clock yester
day morning in the lodge room in the
Masonic Temple.
Ry the appointed hour all the Knights
were on hand, and a number of others,
both ladies and gentlemen, from the city
were also present.
Mr. M. Callaway was called to the
chair, and the exorcises were opened
with prayer by Itev. M. K. Milner.
Maj. W. L. Glessner then delivered a
short, but exceedingly entertaining ad
dress of welcome, and warmly expressed
this sentiment in well choson words.
The reply was made by the Hon. John
P. Shannon, of Elbcrton, who delighted
all hearers with ills effort. He is an ele
gant speaker, and impressed all presont
with his fluency and eloquence. It was
a treat which those absent greatly re
gretted missing.
. Music was furnished hv Prof. Kaler’s
orchestra, and the reception was made
most pleasant for all.
After this, the order withdrew, and
held a session for business. An after
noon session w as also held.
At night the guests and many citizens
again gathered at the lodge room and
engaged in social intercourse for several
hours. It was in the form of a citizens
reception, and right well did they turn,
out.
In an adjoining room was spread one
of the best lunches ever seen in the city,
and Schmidt, the popular caterer, who
did the work, scored another big success.
All. wero delighted with the refresments,
there being the greatest sufficiency of
good things of the very best quality.
Impromptu speeches were made by
Uon. J. P. Shannon, of Elbcrton, Hon.
H. H. Cab-nlis, of Atlanta, Dr. Andrews,
of Washington, Dr, H. B. Ncsbit, of
Eatonton, Col. Cleve Johnson, of Allan
ta, Dr. L. S. Ledbetter, of Cedartown,
and Mr. M. Callaway, of this city.
The evening was spent in a manner
THE WORft PROGRESSING
. i : -;. t i
And this. A.* M. Will •» CmapMe* to
Montgomery la Jane.
The people of Americus and of South
west Georgia will be glad to learn that
all doubt, if doubt there had been, of
the early completion of the Savannah,
Americus and Montgomery road to
Montgomery, Ala., hat leon dispelled,
and that trains will bo running Into
that eity within sixty days.
Information received from President
Hawkins, who it still in New York, la to
the effect that lie has recently placed
bonds of the road to the amount of near
ly a half million dollars, thus providing
ample funds for the prosecution of the
work of building now in hand.
In view of this fact the force at work
upon the extension io Alabama lias been
augmentoJ by the addition, recently, of
500 men, which, with those already en
gaged upon the work, makes a foree of
nearly 1,500 laborers between the Chatta
hoochee river and Alabama's capital
city.
Mr. W. E. Hawkins, assistant to the
president, has recently returned from a
visit to flnrtsboro and other points
along the line of the new road. lie re
ports everything as progressing rapidly,
and thinks that thorn is no doubt what
ever but that the S. A. & .M. will reach
Montgomery early in June.
These are the Leadin
Movements.

A Uvely Banket.
A popular dry goods clerk of Ameri
cus has been overflowing with exuber-
tant happiness the past few days on ac
count of receiving an exquisite basket
of flowers from an unknown source. Ac-
companing the gift was an anonymous
poem, written in a lady's hand, and
brimming over with elegant sentences of
love for the recipient. Rhyme and
rhythm were perfect, the flowers be-
young compare,and these so well accord-
ed^with the ardent sentiment, that ’Us
no wonder the young gentleman's heart
beat happy, responsive echoes. Finding
a third party who knew the sender, this
proud gallant purchased last night a
delightful box of crystalized fruit, and
through tills mutual friend sent it to the
urfknown beauty.
No doubt he spent many sleepless
hours last night imagining how delight
ed the fair one would be with the candy,
.and how her eyes would sparkle with
joy and love. All this and more, in all
probability, passed through his mind,
and at the same time two wicked young
men, with poetic and joking instinct,
were merrily and happily munching
erystalized violets and composing anoth
er poem.
Sbme time to-day the first young gen
tleman's dream of delight will melt
away into the sad reality of a practical
joke. .

Excursion to Omaha,
The conductors of Americus wish to
organize a branch of the Order of Rail
way Conductors.
To do this entails considerable ex
pense, and to raise some money they
have decided to give an excursion to
Omaha on Thursday, the 7th of May. A
train will be chartered to leave here at
eight io the morning, and come back at
seven that night.
There is much of intereat to be seen
in and about this new and growing

not bo found in this section. Splendid
fishing streams and lovely picnic
grounds will attract many, and doubtless
a large crowd will seize the opportunity
to take an enjoyable outing at reduced
