Shaw, Commander-in-Chief of the Le gitimate ClottuDiandlen’s Funning Roods Business of Southwestern Ga., AMERICUS. CA. This may not be modesty at it is Business a) the same. X R. 8. There is no good reason why we shouldn’t have a .Retailers' Protective Association in Americus. The preliminary steps taken a few days ago to organize a board of trade in Americue should receive,as they deserve, every encouragement possible at the hands of our citizens, for wherever they are in existence (and there are but few cities of tbe size and commercial Im portance of Americus in the south with out such an institution) such organiza tions have resulted in good to the city in various and numerous instances. They are a good thing as far ns they go, but they do not go quite far enough When it comes to a matter of adjusting unjust rates at the hands of a discrimi nating railroad, rectifying excessive in surance charges, etc., tho board of trade manifests its usefulness. But there is another organization which is as much needed, and much more of a protection to the retail merchants of tlie city than tho board of trade would bo. It is what is termed the Retailers’ Pro tective association, which exists in nu merous cities both south and north, and wherever organized they have proven the wisdom of the mind which first sug gested the idea of the retail merchants banding together for the purpose of avoiding being fleeced by a class of peo ple who make it a business not to pay their bills. The small membership fee or monthly dues necessary to defray the expenses of such an organization would bo a mere drop in the bucket to tbe amount which would be saved to the members by such an association. To illustrate the workings df sucli an- institntion the following will do as a fair example. A. applystoB. for the privilege of running a monthly account, which is granted. The first month’s bill is promptly set tled ; so is the next and the next, but the following one is overlooked or forgot ten. At any rate A ebanges his place of trading and next visits Mr. C. desirous of opening an account with bim. Right here the direct benefits to he derived from the Retailers Protective Association manifest themselves. Both Mr. B. and C. are members of tbe same. Mr. B. la duty bound ,and Id keeping with the spirit and intent of the organization reports Mr. A. as a do iinquent, and he is thus recorded in t book kept at the headquarters of the association for this purpose. Mr. C. re fers to this book, before granting A. tbe request made of him, and of course re fuses him tbe credit asked for. The same thing would ooonr, should A apply to D, E, or F. or any other member of tbe association,and he is thus compelled to pay tbe bill be owes to B. or content himself with tbe idea that Me credit with the member* of the as sociation Is and will stand Impaired long as the first unpaid bill remains again t him. There Is no necessity of incurring any extraordinary expense In the mainten ance of tbe association. Two rooms at the outside and perhaps one would suf fice for all purposes. A tboronghly reliable man would have to be secured to attend to all the busi ness affaire. Beooald, In addition to looking after tbe books, also attend to the collection of such bills as might be placed in bia hands by the members of tbe association against parties whose names hsve been sent In as “delinquent” and upon their continued refusal to meet tbeir just obligations, put them on tbe biaek list, which would and should be used a* a final resort Won't some of onr enterprising mer chants take tbe matter in hand'.’ A Love Sons In B1 Flat. “My modest, match leas Mm-iellne!

Less than two months ago Section No. 1,503 Endowment rank, was instituted hero with the following officers: P. B Williford, president; S. M. Cohen, vice- president; B. H. Mayo, secretary.

The woods were scoured in every dlrectiou but tho mysterious beast could not bo found. But the onslaught upon tlie dogs con tinues, and more than a hundred hounds, coon dogs and terriers have gone to fill the maw of this rapacious beast. The neighborhood is In a ferment of excite ment, and the dog market is away up out of sight. The monster, whatever it is, boldly attacks yard dogs right in their mas ter’s doorway, and ao fearless is It that only a night or two sinoe a coon dog that was following a negro to church was seized upon and torn to pieces and devoured upon the spot. This fact Is substantiated by tbe dog’e owner, who la a class leader In tbe church. A welt known gentleman from that neighborhood wae in Americus yester day, and to a Timks-Kfcobdkr reporter gave a few additional facts about tbe case which may serve to throw some light upon it Tho strange beast, he says, It nothing more nor less than a fierce and wild byeoa. Last Friday a fisherman saw the terri ble monster as it came down the bank on tbe opposite side of tbe creek to drink. The man was very much fright ened, but dared not run until the ani mal finished drinking and bad slipped back into the almost impenatrcble jun gle that stretches up and down the stream for miles. This solution, or explanation rather, Is a very plausible one, end , accounts fully for the presence of the terrible animal there, as the following facts will show. Several years ago, during a general fight At a circus In a town a few miles below Snmter City, several animals broke from their cages and escaped, among which were four very large and fierce hyenas. The next day, however, all the animals were recaptured exoept the hyenas, who have since oontinued to roam tbe ewampt in that locality. These animals are very ferocious, and when hungry will attack a man aa well as a dog. The gentlemen here yester day la positive that the wholesale ■laughter of the dogs Is the work of one or more of these beasts, particularly since one baa been aeon within a mile or two of that place. Tbe negroes are very mueh alarmed since this fset was made known, and scarcely one of them will venture out of doors at night on any ac count. • Hotel Arrivals.
