Americus, Ga., Feb. 6,1891.
Messrs. Peddle & Co., Chica
go, III., Gentlemen:—I shall
not trouble your agent to call
on me this season. When I
purchased ot 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
and Outfitter of this city, I am
so well pleased with the result
in every way that,! shall con
tinue to give him my patron
age. Yours respectfully,
acephalous.

H. C. ODOM FAILS.
A Prominent Leesburg Merchant Fashed
to the Wall.
H. C. Odom, a prominent Leesburg
merchant, has failed.
This was found out by some few In.
Amerious Thursday night, and repre
sentatives of creditors here were at oneo
sent to that place.
From these It was ascertained that tbe
liabilities amount to (30,000, while Hr.
Odom claims (IS,000 assets.
There are two mortgages on the stock.
Tbe first In the name of Hobbs & Tucker,
bankers of Albany, to the amount of
(6,000. (4,000 of this amount goes to
Hammond,' Hill A Co., of Savannah.
The second mortgage amounts In all
to about (9,000, and ls to S. R. Weston,
Albany, Bank of Southwestern Georgia,
of this place, and others.
Hobbs <k Tucker also hold a bill of
sale to the still and other property. .
All the other creditors are unsecured.
Among them the heaviest losers are
Moore, Marsh A Co., of Atlanta, (2,400;
S. Waxelbsum, of Macon, (1,200.
Americus gets off light. The heaviest
creditor here Is the Bank of Southwestern
Georgia, secured as above mentioned.
The largest of the unsecured Is tbe
Americas Groeery Company, the amount
being (300. Theochersare small, Bo-
rum, Davenport A Co. losing only $00,
and H. D. Watts about tbe same amount.
A few other still smaller debts are owed
by Odom to parties here.
In Americas, Macon and Atlanta
there are about (4,000 unsecured.
Thus, while Amerious does a big busi
ness there, the inerohsuts get off light.
There is some talk of the creditors ef
fecting a compromise, and letting Mr.
Odom continue his business.
The failure is attributed to too many
outstanding accounts and the crowding
of some of the creditors, together with
tho inability of Mr. Odom to borrow
more money. He states that with a
thousand or two more dollars to osrry
him through the summer, be could have
gone on and made money.

And now It Is stated upon tbe author
Ity of a prominent business man, and
one who is in a position to know where
of he speaks, that a well-matured plan
is now on foot to start the eleetrio can

In fact, ao confident Is he that success
will follow the movement about to be
Inaugurated, that be asserted positively

who reside far out along the line of rail'
road...,.
Several plans have already been sug
gested through tbe columns of Tux
Times-Kkcordkr for the {storting up of
the cars, but ell of these were more or
leu objectionable. The business men

of tbit most Important atop, and stand
ready and willing to give substantial aid
to the enterpriu so soon at they are as
sured that the affairs of the road will be
judiciously and economically managed.

Almost an Accident.
A negro boy came near accidentally
killing a playmate yesterday. It was the
itme old story of tho unloaded pistol.
Two small boys got hold of an old rusty
weapon, and playfully snapped It many
timet. Finally one pointed It at the
other and pulled the trigger. To the
astonishment and terror of both, a re
port followed.
Thanks to the bad aim of the boy, the
other was not touched, f -, Both jt* the
