THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SUNDAY, APRIL 26 1891,
THE FISHERMEN.
Thanks to Americas People.
The reader* of Tee Times-Recordeh
( will remember the death and burial on
April 5th of Mr. Crowell of the Adele
Frost Co., while in Americus, and the
kindness shown to the sick man by the
T f people at the Hawkins House, and
( others at the time of his death.
The brother of Mr. Crowell, a promi
nent banker of Newport News, Va.,
came here on the sad occasion, and was
much impressed by the friendly feelings
exhibited towards his brother and him
self, aud the subjoined letter is written
to express Ids thanks for the courtesies
shown him:
W. H. Tondee, Esq., Americus, Ga.
My Dear Sin: I am very desirous of
acknowledging my appreciation of the
generous hearted kindness of the good
people of Americus in my recont be
reavement, and know of no better way,
if you will kindly do so, than to publish
this letter in your city paper.
I would gladly make individual ac
knowledgement, and shall do so as far
as possible, but none Rliould bo omitted.
Not one who extended the tender hand
of alleviation toward my sick and dying
brother, a stranger in a strange land, or
who boro a feeling of sympathy, can bo
overlooked.
How hard it is to bow submissively to
the will of God. But oh, people of
Americus, how much are the fangs of
sorrow softened by cordial and honest
sympathies, and deeds of kindness, such
as you have shown, and for which the
hospitable south is so justly famous.

admonition, shown on good ground in ^

The members of the A mericus Fish
ing Club returned yesterday morning.
Forth© past week they have been off on
an excursion, and to say that they had a
delightful time is superilous.
They have been camped at Atkinson’s
station, just twenty-four miles from
Brunswick on the Satilla river.
As to the sport they had The Times-
Recorder feels a delicacy in stating, so
leaves the matter to the fishermen them
selves, a quotation from each of whom
appears below.
\V r . II. Tondee—“Yes we returned
this morning, and feel rather worn out.
We had a delightful time and great suc
cess as you may suppose from the
special sent your paper. 1 suppose you
t To-morrow will be celebrated as Me
morial Day.
x Everybody will be out, and the scr-
. vices will be most interesting and ap
propriate.
As is usual, the merchants and banks
. will close their doors at 3 o'clock and al-
, low their employees to attend.
This will be done by all without ex
ception.
The following call has been issued to
the Confederate veterans by Col. Cutts:
To tho Confederate Veterans of Sumter
and Adjoining Counties:
That noble and patriotic band of la
dies composing the Momorial Associa
tion again remind us of our duty—to
meet around the graves of our deceased
comrades and pay an annual tribute on
this Memorial Day to the memory of tho
gallant dead. To keep fresh in our
hearts their heroic deeds and their devo
tion to duty and their country.
Will you not heed a call to perform a
sacred duty, when made as It is done,
annually, from tho fair and noble women
of the south?
You who have stood side by side in
the hour of trial, and witnessed the
brave and gallant deeds of these, your
fallen comrades. Your devotion to duty j
under all the trying circumstances of a
camp life and the battlefield would
seem to be a guarantee on this occasion
that you would perform this the noblest
duty of all, paying a heartfelt tribute to
the memory of the heroic dead. i
Then let nothing prevent you from at
tending the Memorial meetiug on Mon-
A. S. Cutts.

S. McGarraii—“Oh, I never had a
better time, and I think everybody else
will say the same. Of course 1 was the
best fisherman and caught more fish.
It made the other fellows feel sick to
see me pull them In while they couldn’t
catch them at all.”
C. M. Wheatley—“Well sir, you just
ought to have seen me show those fel

caught over half. That bamboo rod of
