Don't mis* seeing Charlie Ansley to
night.
be for that portion of the state south of
Griffin,and thousands of sturdy alliance-
men will assemble in response to the
call of the national president, which has
been endorsed by tbe state president.
The day will be celebrated in grand
style.
Among tbe speakers will be Mr. L. I„
Polk, president of the national alliance;
“Sockless” Jerry Simpson; lion. L. F.
Livingston, president of tbe state alli
ance; Mr. Harry C. Brown, of the
8onthem Alliance Fanner, and the only
original Larry Gantt This is a combi
nation that is sure to draw, and on the
oocMlon of this rally Americus will be
thronged as she never was before.
The alliance l meh of this section are
taking a decided interest in the matter,
ji,' - and the day of the rally, July 14 or
July 15, which has not yet been deter-
ed, will be one of tile grandest days
ever celebrated in Southwest Georgia,
and the celebration will be In full keep
ing with the day. The alllancemen of
Sumter and neighboring counties will
join forces in seeing wbat they can do
to get up ono of the grandest occasions
ever witnessed ln Georgia.
Arrangements are being mado for a
big barbeme, the like of which has nev
er been heard of beforo. Hundreds of
heads of sleek cattle and well fed pork
ers will go to the block to furnish a
meal for the immense throng of human
ity which is expected to crowd down
upon Americus on that occasion. There
will bo plenty to feed everybody, and
President Polk and the congressman
from Kansas will bo mado Jo seo what a
felicitous affair a Georgia barbecue Is.
Like the Georgia melon, the Georgia
barbecue is best of all, and it does seem
that meat cooks better under the bright
skies of Sumter county than it'docs any
where else In tbe world.
The commlttco of arrangements has
not reached any definite decision In the
matter yet, but It Is presumed that the
barbecue will be held at the Dell, which
is the prettiest place in Georgia for an
outing.
Both the Southwestern and the Savan
nah, Americus it Montgomery roads will
run excursion trains on that day, a very
low rato being named for the trip.
The result of this will' be that
a crowd of from ten to twenty thousand
will be ln Amerious on tbe day appoint
ed for this rally. There te not an al-
llanceman ln this entire section who
wouldn't walk, werp It accessary to see
Messrs. Polk and Slmpron, thirty miles
to accomplish that end,
Sumter county alllancemen are active
ly at work, and the day of this celebra
tion will witness Amerious thoroughly
crowded with thousands of tho best
men to be fonnd on this side of this
terrestial sphere called the world.
Plenty of barbecue and other refresh
es ' ments will be provtd-id and all will feast
and make merry.
' Sockless Jerry will be the big drawing
card and the people will flock here by
the thousands to hear him speak. It he
should not say a word there will be
plenty more material to work op and
plenty of speakers to entertain the vast
crowd which Is sure to come.
Americus welcomes these prominent
alllancemen, and the celebration will be
one to fit the occasion.
