Dooly's Bar Takes Action.
Tho March term of Dooly superior

prawning attorneys an<l the officers of
the court held a meeting on the evening
of the adjournment and expressed tbeir
sincere regrets at the retirement of so
able a judge, so distinguished a lawyer
and so courteous a gentleman. Of the
many kindly sentiments that have been,
and will be expressed when Judge Fort
resigns the seat of honor, which be has
so ably filled, Tiie Tiueh-Becorder
ventures to state that none will be more
heartily appreciated and fondly remem

expressions of the judge’s colleagues in

Those resolutions were unanimously
adopted. Judge Fort was then called
Into the hall and received, in a pleasant
and modest manner, the well earned
words spoken of him.
Americus most have a chamber of
commerce, board of trade or something
of the fort.
This la the sentiment of the people,
and all wanted la » starter to make the
Idea grow into t reality.
There are many thing* affecting the
whole city which arise every week, and
wbloh cannot be met and suceeasluUy
handled except by such an institution.
Here we hare an organized body of
leading citizens, all with the same In
tent of good to our city, and whoso com
bined work ean accomplish things Im
possible by single handed men.
This subjeet baa been agitated time
and again, but juat now' there is more
neoesslty and more universal desire for
such an institution than ever. Americus
is forging ahead with the greatest of
rapidity, and ovary growing city needs
board of trade.
Among the Knights of Honor recently
visiting our city, was Capt J. J. C. Mc
Mahan, one of Athens most prominent
and enterprising citizens, and president
of the chamber of commerce of that city.
He was delighted with Americas, but
was surprised that we had no anch or
ganization here.
‘You have a most prosperous and en
terprising city," said he, “but you ought
to have a board of trade. It can help
you greatly, and no matter how fast you
are growing, this growth will be greatly
increased,
‘Athens has been moving rapidly re
cently, and recently bos decided to take
some Important stops. We are laying
sewers, are going to pave our streets,
have a paid fire department, and count
less other improvements. Well I am
sure that our chamber of commerce has
been a main footor in this work. When
it was organized we had nono of these
things. Now you are certainly growing
rapidly down here and have a right to be
proud of your city, but by all means
you should have a board of trade.”
Thisis splendid advice from one who
has seen a city emerge from lethargy in
to activity, and surely only good can
come of It. By nil means lets organize
such a body and see the result
II and Mime Stores.
Americus is filled with as pretty resi
dences as can be found in any city, and
the number of these is constantly and
rapidly being added to. Our residence
streets and avenues are noted for their
beauty, and justly.
Recently there have been several hand
some stores with iron and stone fronts
erected, which add greatly to theappear-
ance of things In the business portion of
the eity. This Is one feature which
Americus has paid little attention- to In
the past, bat which is now quite motive.
Many of onr leading firms do business
in old buildings, and in the past have
been content with them. Now the start
has been made in this direction, and
many elegant buildings hare been con
tracted for.
In the past few weeks the buildings of
Messrs. Murpbey, Avera and Watte have
been finished. Tiie store houses In the
new hotel and the Allen House exten
sion will soon be completed, and all will
have handsome fronts. Two three story
buildings will be commenced early in
next month, and a number of others
little later on. Theae will help much In
adding to the beauty of this portion of
our olty, as well as to the business as
pect.
fib. Wont. B.r Pension.
If tliero are any old soldiers in or near
Americua who served with Moses Mott,
of .Schley county, In Sam Townshy’s
company, 64th Georgia regiment, they
will confer a favor upon hla widow, Mrs.
L. E. Mott, by communicating the fact
to her at EllavUle, Ga.
Mr. Mott died many years ago from
wounds received in .the service, and now
Mrs. Mott is anxious to establish the
fact that he was in the above named
command in order to receive the pen
sion to which the is entitled. There are
doubtless many old soldiers here who
will cheerfully furnish Mrs. Mote with
the desired information.
These are the

■tart Up tk. Street Oars. _
Tub Timks-Recobdeu:—Your agita
tion of the street railroad question is
timely and of great importance. In fact,
just now this matter is paramount to all
others affecting tho Interest of our city.
Something must be done, or the steady
growth of Americus will be ehecked.
The progress of our eity has been re
markable, but we have not yet reached
that point where it will continue to grow
of its own strength and weight. It takes
a much larger place than Amoricus to do
this. Atlanta is perhaps the only eity
in Georgia whioh has reached this posh
tion. None, however, acquainted with
our advantages and opportunities ean
donbt our future thould the citizens do
their duty. ,
Undoubtedly just at this stage of our
growth, the starting up of the eleetrio
oars would do more than any other agen
cy to help matters.
How ahull this be done?
Two methods were proposed In your
oolumns yesterday, both plausible, bat
both open to objections In some re
spects. It must be admitted that under
either of theaeplans subscriptions would
be little else than donations, and pos
sibly donations without any asauranee
that the ean would be run permanently.
Now my objeot was not to raise objec
tions to any plan, but as The Tines-Re-
coRDERhas called for expressions of
opinion on the subject, tils is written.
It seems to me that the plan, to adopt
should be something similar to that
whioh ha* given us our hotel. Formu
late a plan by whioh subscribers could
have a reasonable bopo of a return from
tho Investment. I do not believe that
tho railroad, per so, will pay, but corn-
blued with the property of the Leeton
Park Land Company and with the real
estate and franchises of the Light and
Power Company It would seem reason
able that, under proper management, a
corporation consolidating theae Interests
would pay.
1 am not familiar with the statu* ot
either of these companies, and do not
know that this plan i* practicable, but I
submit it for what it ia worth.
But whatever the method may be, by
all means let the care start up. “X."
About the Concert.
The concert given last Tuesdav night
for the benefit of the Baptist churob
was, as all know, a splendid success so
far as the pleasure derived is concerned.
It was also a financial success, something
oyer $170 being taken In, and $143 repre
sents the amount cleared and turned
over to the finance committee of the
church.
This amount, considering the small
admission fee, is much more than It was
thought would be realised, and the man
agers are accordingly happy.
Such a success was the entertainment
that there is no doubt about Its being
repeated. One gentleman has stated
that he will give $25 to see It again, and
others offor financial Inducement.
It is also probable that Cordele, Al
bany and other points will be visited,
and given an opportunity to hear the
elegant music furnished.
