PERFECT FIT
ABOARD OF TRADE.
WILL BE ORGANIZED EARLY NEXT
WEEK.
Tlie Citizen* Thoroughly Aroused to the
KeceMlty of it—And u Sleeting Will be
Culled for Koine Day Next Week—The
llight Move.
The tkne Is ripe.
For Americus to organize that long-
taiked-of board of trade.
The business men .are ready and anx
ions for the move, and not a single oijo
in the city can be found who will rot
readily join in.
Often has this subject been broached,
and it has .always met with favorable
consideration. However, it always end
ed with consideration, and no steps of
any nature were taken toward the or
ganization of such a body. The people
all thought that it -would be a good
thing, but nobody took the matter in
band to get the people together.
A few days since The Times-Record-
er mentioned the subloct again, and
spoke of the many advantages which
were bound to accrue. While all these
points were already fully realized, the
article put some of them to work, and
they mure than ever see the necessity
of having a body of this nature. Amer-
Icus has now more to grapple with than
she has ever had in her history, and a
compact organization is necessary to do
tills in the best manner. The many
questions constantly arising can bo
bandied for the best good of our city
only by combined action of the citizens
who have have her best good at heart.
These questions, becoming daily more
numerous, must be met, and single cit
izens, no matter how numerous and
earnest in their efforts, can not regulate
and control them like a body.
Realizing this, and that now is a time
in our growth w hen tlie efforts of such a
body can be put to tbo best use, the
leading men of the city have been earn
estly working up the matter.
As a result it lias been found that all
are heartily willing to enter the move
ment at any time.
This being found the case, it is only
necessary to call a meeting and organ
ize.
This will be done next week.
A call will be issued through The
Times-Recorder, and the men who are
singly working for the upbuilding of
the city will bind themselves together
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 board of trade.
° J One of the leading and most enter
prising men in the city yesterday said to
a reporter: “Yes, wo want a board of
trade, and we are going to liavo one in a
fow days. We have been putting the
■natter off long enough, and have deci
ded to call a meeting next week ”
When the call is made don’t fail to re
spond. Your services are needed, and
you must he on hand.

A Slight Blaze.
Yesterday morning just before noon,
an alarm of fire was turned in, and tlie
companies turned out in splendid time.
Their services were not needed, how
ever, as the fire had not acquired much
headway, and was put out with a few
buckets of water. It was tlie dwelling
of .Tim Russel], on Forrest street, and is
thought to have been caused by spatks
from the chimney falling among some
leaves on top.
The Guard House Full.
The city boarding house had every
room occupied yesterday, and in some
of the cells there were several.
There are three negro women in for
several days, a white man whose thirty
days sentence is just about to expire,
two or three negroe men, and yesterday
several were chucked in for being on
plain drunks.
Tlie Tennis Club.
The tennis club is in fine condition,
and many more members have been add
ed. Fifteen rackets have beon ordered,
and everything is being gotten in shape
for a great deal of playing. The grass is
being cut on Mr. George Wheatley’s lot,
and the courts laid out. The rain yes
terday afternoon prevented the members
from playing.
Moving Rapidly.
Work on tlie residence of Mr. Frank
Lanier, Jr., is being pushed rapidly, and
is fast assuming proportions. That of
Judge Ansley is also being worked upon
by a large force of hands.
These two residences will add much
to the already great beauty of this pop
ular residence street. ,
JAS.
Drought ILack the Horse.
Mr. George Smith, ton of Capt James
Smith, returned from Leesburg yester
day, bringing with him tho horse stolen
by McXaughton. The animal is stiff and
sore, and was evidently ridden very
hard. It has been estimated that
seventy-five miles were ridden in ten
hours.
