The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany now owns the telegraph line be
tween Omsha, on the Chattahoochee
river, and Savannah, aj distance of 2(15
miles.
The trade, it seems, was perfected
Monday, but not until yesterday did
President Hawkins, of the S. A. & M.
road, who Is now In New York, wire the
Information to the general office here.
The line that was really purchased ex
tends from Omaha to Lyons, a distance
of 100 miles, the Western Union already
owning the wire between the latter place
and Savannah. The price paid for the
property was in the neighborhood of
#10,000, which was about the cost of
construction.
The ’ine was built three or four years
ago by the S. A. & M. road to bo used
in operating its trains and for other pur
poses, but as very little business was
done outside of the roads's work the en
terprise was not very profitable.
However, the Western Union was anx
ious to get hold of the line.and on several
occasions, it is said, an agreement was
almost reached between that company
and the road’s officials, but for some rea
son the trade has always hung fire until
day or two ago, when satisfactory
terms were agreod upon.
The new owners will Bhortly begin
the work of improving the line, and will
make it one of the best in this part of
the state. New and larger posts will be
put in all along the line wherever need
ed, and the service will bo made first-
class in every respect.
Besides this the Western Union com
pany will also extend the line along the
S. A. & M. between Omaha and Mont
gomery, Ala., thus giving a through line
the entire length of the road from Mont
gomery to Savannah, a distance of 345
miles, A line w'll also be built from
Cordele to Albany along the new branch
road now In operation between those
points.
The railroad company will hare the
privilege of using the wires In operating
their trains as formerly, and no change
In this respect, as far as known, will be
made. If changes of any kind arc in
contemplation the fact has not been
made public yet. Neither is it known
when the purchasers will take posses
sion of the line, but this will probably
be done In a very short while.
In our line of business we are the
recognized leaders, and we propose
to continue to carry off the honors.

necessary for the success of a legiti
mate and dashing business, WE

Mr. J. K. Smith, a prominent Phila
delphia capitalist who has been in Amer
icas with his family for the- past several
days, left yesterday for his home in the
north. Mr. Smith was greatly pleased
with Americus, and thinks that she has
advantages equal to thoso of aoy city nf
like size In the south. His visit here
principally was to take a look at Ameri
cus’ pet, the S. A. & M. road, and so
pleased was he that lie invested in bonds
of the road to the amount of $20,000,
and will probably take double that .urn
shortly. He will interest several Phila
delphia capitalists in the matter, and It
is moro than likely that among them a
large number of these bonds will be
taken.

The Amerious postoffice is to be trant'
ferred to new and more commodious
quarters in the Allen House bloek to
morrow or the day after.
Most convenient quarters are being
fitted up in that portion of the building
formerly used as a sample room, and
just as soon as this is made ready the
work of moving the office will bogln.
There will he no dolay of business
caused by the removal, as Postmaster
Itouey has so well perfected all necessa
ry details that the transfer of all the
furniture, boxes, etc., can be made in a
few hours and with no inoonvenionce to
the publie whatever.
The entrance to the new office will be
from Cotton avenue, one door north of
the ma'n entrance to the hotel. There
ample quarters have been provided, and
the cliango will prove an agreeable one
from the stuffy little building which the
business of the postoffice outgrew many
years ago.
These quarters, however, are only
temporary, as Messrs. Johnson & Har-
rold will at once begin the erection of
the handsome new brick building de
signed for that purpose, and which will
occupy tlie site of the old office. This
work was begun sometime since, and
already the basement wails in the rear
of the present office have been built up
to the first floor.
This new building, as is well under-
stood, is to form a part of the Forsyth
street addition to the hotel building.
The plans of the proposed structure are
very handsome, and the new building
will add vastly to the appearance of that
portion of the city. Half of the space on
the first floor will be arranged for the
postoffice, while the remainder will be
elegantly fitted up as a bank building.
The rooms overhead will be used as
apartments for the hotel.

8ummer specialties are in de

ade straw to an ice cream freezer—
is being called for—anything that
seems to be u relation of the North

are any folks who can help yon to

BUTLER & BERRY.
In the sweltering days that now
are coming—to have a ohunk of
ice—is almost equivalent to having
a chunk of happiness—but what
are you going to keep that ice in ?
Have you a Water Cooler? Well,
if you haven’t—there is one place
to get them cheap—1 gal., $1,16—
2 gal., $2.26—3 gal., 2.76—4 gaL,
$8.26—and recollect that one place
is the Artesian Corner Store,
BUTLER & BERRY.
Askyonrself the question—is a
refrigerator nowadays a necessity
or a luxury—or is it both at onee ?
When you consider its saving—of
what would otherwise spoil and be
wasted—wonld’nt it be an economy
—rather than an expense—for yon
to get one—to get a good One—to
get a good Refrigerator cheap at
the Artesian Corner Store.
BUTLER & BERRY.
Of course you realize that there
are no flies on us—but do you
know why—because we keep the
Improved Keyless Fly Fan in
stock—it's no trouble to wind it up
—it saves so much fussing about
the table—they only cost $2.25
each-that is they only oost $2.26
each at the Artesian Corner Store.
BUTLER & BERRY.
Of course we have Coffee Pots—
have them all sizes—kinds—and
prioes—but the demand now comes
for something more seasonable—
those old time brown Rookingham
Teapots—which we sell for 20 cents
—are the only vessels that brew
tea fit for icing—and then Rook
ingham Batter CrookB—Yellow
ware Milk Crooks—that sell with
us for 6 cents upwards—these are
the goods to suit the needs of the
weather—they are seasonable and
cheap—cheap at the Artesian Cor
ner Store.

Don’t forget our last ad.—
Matches 1 cent a box—Clothespins
1 cent a dozen—Berry Dishes 3
