So Decided YMtorday Aft«ra oon-B? ths Crowd Which AMombled at Follow'. Lawn—A Large Number .Preient aad AU Very Enthn.l.tlc oa the Sobjact. 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 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, America* will surely have a base ball team. And one too that she or any other city would be proud ot. This is no more than was expected, but definite steps were not taken until yesterday afternoon. It has been apparent for some time that everybody here was anxious for pleasure in this line, and all were more than desirous to see the national game again portrayed on the diamond. It is a recognised fact that in Americus there are players who cannot be excelled any where by amateurs, and by few profes sionals. The natural pride arising from tbis knowledge, caused their desire to be greater, for certain in the beginning of the victories which must await our nine, the people were, of course, more anxious for the organization. And then, too, the national game holds a dear place in the hearts ot all, and tc see a few more spirited encounters is the heerty desire of all. The game has been greatly neglected in the south for the past year or two, and the reaction of this indifference has come. Americas cannot support a full professional team, such as could enter the proposed south ern league, but we can have a nine of mostly amateurs whieh can give a tough fight to any, be they professional or not. This the boys themselves recognized, and yesterday afternoon they responded in force to the call in Tub Timks- Recokder. At four o’clock thero were a number present, and by four and a half nearly all the players of the city were out. Then came a practice game. Bats, balls, gloves, protectors, masks, and all were on hand, and the practice was most in teresting to players and spectators. A nine was not organized, but the b'ys got together, and say that they are surely going to have a team, and a team that will be invincible. They know the quality of every player, and will soon have each assigned to a position. No assistance is asked in the organi zation of the nine, and the boys intend to arrange all the preliminaries them selves. They want to get fully orga nized first, and to do this there will liavo to be some more playing. This afternoon they will play again, and if you ever indulge in the national game you are wanted out The best players are wanted to make up the team, and you may be one of them. They will play every fair afternoon, and it Is needless to add that the people are glad. Challenges will be issued to neigh boring towns and cities soon, and play will begin In earnest JOHN R.

The editor of Gil Bias vouches tor the troth of this story: Napoleon I was en tertaining the Cxar Alexander and the Prussian king at breakfast in Tilsit, when the conversation tamed on loyalty. ‘‘My soldiers obey ins blindly," said the czar. “And mine are anxiona to die for me," added Napoleon. At tho suggestion of the Prussian king a test of devotion was agreed upon. The royal party were breakfasting in the fifth story of a building that faced a paved street. Each member was to call in one of bis soldiers and command him to jump from tbe wludow. Napoleon made the' first test. “Call the Qardiste Marcus," he com manded. and Marcau appeared. “Will you obey any order 1 give you?" asked Napoleon. “Yes, sire." "Blindly, whatever it is?" “Blindly, sire." “Then jump out of that window. “But I haTo a wife and two children. sire.” “1 will care for them. Forward i" And the Gardiste Marcau, with a mili tary salute, walked to the window and leaped out. “Call a private of the body guard, ordered the czar, whose turn camo next Tho soldier come. “What’s your name?" “Ivan Ivanovitch." ••Weil, Ivan, just throw youroelf out of that window." “Yes, father," answered the guards man, and he did it. “Command tho bravest of my soldiers to come here,” said the Prussian king to his servant A six foot uhlan, with a row of orders across his breast and n scar on his forehead, entered. “My friend,” explained the king, show their loyalty a French and a Rus sian guardsman have jumped at com mand from that window. Have yon the pluck to do the same?" “Is it for the fatherland?" ■ “No." “Then I refuse to do it." Gil Bias thinks this anecdote contains a fine lesson for German army officers of the piesent. JAS. T. COTNEY, DEALER IIV "to Damages for a Delayed 31ei*age. The stato supreme court of North Carolina has confirmed tho action of the lower court which awarded to J. T. Young, of Craven county. N. C., $10,000 damages against tho Western Union Telegraph company. It is represented that last year "Young’s wife was taken very ill in Columbia, 8. C. Mr. Young was at New Berne, N. C., and bis wife telegraphed him that she was sick, and requested him to come to her at once. He did not get the message until six days later, and in the meantime Mrs. Yonng died and was buried, Young not knowing of either fact till all was over." —Philadelphia Ledger. A Fascinating Painting. A Russian artist, Nicolai, has set Ber lin agog by exhibiting his painting of Christ before Pilate. It is said to be horribly fascinating, and the salon where it is displayed is crowded to suffocation. Critics agree that it is vastly inferior to Mnnkacsy’s painting of tbe same title, sc far as art is concerned, bat they ad mit that it baa power.—Kate Field’s Washington. As the neck dressings grow larger, richer, showier in texture and more ver satile in form, tbe scarf pins, as if regu lated by a temporising hand, become more chastely simple in design. A plain old gold ball of tbe circumference of a five cent silver piece, stndded with tur quoise—a revived pattern—is very dis tingue. Pipes ore coming into fashion again, bnt only in offices and out of sight of the public. Possibly the time will come when a man will feel justified in pro ducing a pipe in the smoking compart ment of a car here, or in stalking alonf the street with one, after tbe fashion ol the yonng clerks in England.
