Judge Ansley Is building a residence on Lee street The boye will begin pitying baseball Monday afternoon. Many ot Americus' citizens spent yes- terdaylln angling for the finny tribe. A large eerenading party le being made up to go the rounds some nlgbt this week, The conductors will have a well load' ed train on tbeir excursion to Omaha the 7th of May. 1 With the warm weather, snakes are becoming numerous. Several email ones was killed in the city yesterday. Why is not the square back of the city meat market built up? A better loca tion for a business block could not be found. The purchasing of the street railway by local parties, daily grows in public favor. The people want it and will have It. Sumter will have a substantial and convently arranged jail before fall. The new one will be in keeping with our other county buildings, Mr. C. P. Davis has accepted the du piex position of day operator and bag gage master at the Central. He ii excellent man for the place. A small boy spent an hour and a half yesterday, trying to capture that fan tailed pigeon mentioned in Tub Tikes Recorder a few days since. He didn’ succeed. There is already much talk of picnics, and the irrepresible little red bug ie laugblng.in high glee. He will be laugh, ing in other parts of man’s anatomy be fore very long. Joseph Lee and Jack Harwell, .wo negro youths, engaged in a fistic encoun ter at the S. A. & M. depot yesterday morning. No damage was done, and neither party arrested. One of the visiting Knights of Honor was so delighted with Americus that he is seriously contemplating locating here. He will make a valuable citizen, and he will be gladly welcomed in our midst. The Americus Light Infantry will ■how up well at the encampment next June. The boys drill well now, and will go through a great deal of practice before they leave for Chtckamauga. The improvement in the past few months Is most marked, and Americas Is proud of her military company. Dooly's Bar Takes Action. Tho March term of Dooly superior court being the last time Judge Allen Fort would officiate In the eapaeity of judge before bis retiring to assume the duties of Railroad Commisaloner, the 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 bered than the branlest and eloquent expressions of the judge’s colleagues in Dooly, The following telling resolutions were eudoreed by tho entire bar and ail who had served under tho judge in any ca pacity: Resolved, That la the retirement of Judge All.n. Fort,the Judicial tench ofUeorzte lo*. esone or Its brightest lights, n thoroughly equipped lawyer, a learned polished, gentle- man,one 1 ossessed of splendid administra tive abilities, clear, analytical. Impartial painstaking, thorough hone-t and fentless In the discharge of his duties of tho position be now so.adinlrahly Oils Resolved, That his courteous treatment, generous and high toued deportment, Just and equitable sets. In all hla relations with the bar, have endeared him to all wjio prac tice before him. Keaolved, That In him the Railroad Com mission has secured valuable aqulsitlon, one bringing to the discharge or the duties of hla position, fins practical s#i se, a- wide and Comprehensive knowledge of men and busi ness strain, patient and accurate In the con- ■■deration of all matters submitted to him and who Will In a faithful, conscientious and efficient manner discharge the duties of his position with an eye single to the pnblle * < RM0lved.

Resolved, That ooples of these resolution, and the minutes of this meeting be fnralah. d Judge Fort. Also to the Vienne Progress, -fint EASOM. B USB* B, z A toTTbrJOHN, ^T^frsNW**’ Committee. 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.

Cotton Ave. ■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.
