Any quantity of Osh are still being brought to Americus by parties who vis it Black's pond, which broke recently, The programme of the entertainment which will be given for the benofltof of the library, Tuesday night, will be published in to-morrow’s paper. Tho lawn festival given by the Chris tian Workers yesterday afternoon was a pleasant affair. A nice sum was realized by tbe ladies who bad it in charge. The Montezuma base ball clubs failed to show up yesterday, and the games which were expected to be played during tbe afternoon failed to materialize. A mad cat was killed on Lee street yesterday afternoon. The Infuriated feline bad bitten several cats and dogs before its death was accomplished. At tho meeting of tho Light Infantry last night several new members were elected. Tbe company is in better con dition now than at any time since its organization. Howell Simmons, who took quite a creditable stand In his cadet company at Cuthbert, will go to tbe encampment at Chlckamauga as a guest of the Americus Light Infantry. Tbe Friendship Sunday School asso ciation will hold its meeting in Ameri cus June 26, 27 and 28, embracing tbe fourth Sunday in this month, and not next week, as bas been announced. Mr. J. H. Chambliss, who is boring well at Mr. Smith’s Magnolia brick yard in this city, unearthed some queer spec! mens of wood yesterday. They were brought up from a distance of fifty-seven feet. Regular services will be held at the Second Methodist church to-morrow by the pastor, Rev. R. F. Williamson. All are requested to bear this iu mind and all are cordially invited to attend tbe services. All kinds of vegetables are plentiful in Americus jnst now, and tbe prices asked for them bare been lowered con siderably. Local gardeners are now supplying almost every kind of vegeta ble known. A couplo of negro boot blacks bad figbfnearfthe Southwestern depot yester day afternoon. One of them was right badly hurt about tbe head. Tbe other did some running, to keep from being arrested, that would have done eredit to a race horse. A much needed rain commenced fall Ing shortly after 7 o’clock one lasted for several hours lest night. If this rain was general throughout the county crops of all kinds will be greatly benefit- tod. In some portions of Sumter rain la very badly needed. A travelling man exhibited a wild boar's task at the Southwestern depot yesterday afternoon, which measured over eight Inches. It was an Immense specimen. He said that the boar which sported the tusk’was killed In the north ern part of Alabama In a river swamp. About a month ago a dog which was supposed to be mad bit a bog, mule and two children on Mr. L. N. Johnson’s place in the twenty-eighth district. It was feared that the children and the stock which was bitten would bavo the hydrophobia, but they are all at ^well as ever now. Mr. J. W. Welle this morning an nounces that he will hereafter be elated with Johnson <fc Harrold instead of the Alliance warehouse. Mr. Wells Is one of the best known men In this sec tion, and he has hundreds of friends who count it a favor to do business with him. Helsavalnsblo addition to the working force of any business. Many people in Americus ware con siderably alarmed about 7 30 o'clock last night when lightning struck the eleetrio light wires and knocked every light In the olty out No damage was done, the ligbte being quickly turned on again. Several parties who were near electric lights st the time report that they were slightly shocked by the lightning stroke which put out the lights. Yesterday Mr. D. W. Begley presented The Times-Rxcobdeb with a beautiful specimen of the cactus flower, which plncked from hit flower garden In this city. It was snowy white with a faint tinge of yellow about the center. The flower was fourteen Inchee wide. Many pretty cactus blooms have been exhib ited In Americas, but this is the pretti est ever teen here. i not t the do Needs Attention. If Superintendent McKenzie or tome one who bet tbe authority, does look after the matter of water at Southwestern depot it Is likely that osse before the mayor will be the result of the way things are going down there. Agent Maxwell says that he cannot anything In the premises. It seems one who has Investigated the matter that his hands are thoroughly tied the “red tape” so common with railroad managements. Yesterday The Tiues-Recobdek bad something to say about tbo lack of water for drinking purposes at tbe South, western depot A more important phase of the matter bos presented itself. It seems that the pumpman down there, backed by the roadway depart ment, has cut off all water from tbe closets in tbe waiting rooms, making impossible to flush the pipes. The stenob which arises is terrible and ladles who were there yesterday actually had to stand on the platform to escape the awful odor which pervaded the waitiog room. This is an important matter and should be looked after either by tbe railroad authorities or by those of tbe eity. Call and see our birthday rings.
