THE AMERICAS DAILY T1MES-REC0RDER: THURSDAY, JULy23^891^
Notice
The patrons of The Timks-Recorder
are urged to pay promptly tlie bills
which are now due for subscription, .ad
vertising and job work for the past
month. A newspaper has to pay its
labor the cash weekly, and on the first
of the month it is necessary for all its
bills to be promptly collected.
The current expenses of The Times-
Recorder establishment arc about $50
per day, which must be paid every
Monday without fail or delay.
We aro therefore compelled to press
collections; and while the small bill;
that some owe may cause them to re
gard the matter as insignificant, th
small accounts aggregate several thou
sand dollars, which we aro compelled to
collect promptly to meet our obligations.
A newspaper can’t run a week with
out money; so come up to the captain's
office and settle.

satisfactory in every respect.

A New Lodge.
A lodge of Knights of Pythias is being
organized at Lumpkin. It is thought
that quite a flourishing branch of the
order can be established there. District
Deputy Wheatley and a party of Ameri
cus Knights will probably be called to
Lumpkin at an early day to institute
the lodge.

When the south bound train on the

Americus yesterday a tramp jumped off
the cow catcher. He was given chase
by Lieut Wheeler of the police force,
but he succeeded in making his escape
owing to the heavy rain which was fall

The Date Changed.
Owing to the fact that the Catholic
church can not bo ready for use in time
for the service announced for next Sun
day it was necessary to change the time
for the first services there to the second
Sunday in August. Further notice will
be given through The Timks-Kkcobdkr.

After this week we will collect all bills

“Drat Such Luck!'*
Bifiicule it as we may, there Is some
thing in lack, and if there isn't you can
not break the faith of some peoplo. The
other day a young English friend of
mine picked np a two and a half cent
Columbian silver coin—probably the
smallest silver piece in the world.
“That’s luck,” said the young man,
who has an English syndicate deal on
his hands He felt more confidence in
the coin as the day advanced, for he
showed it to several friends, all of whom
curiously examined the piece and smiled
with its possessor. He Anally went joy
fully home late for dinner, and fonnd his
wife fretting and with red eyes He be
gan to chccr her np by pleasantly begin
ning the topic of his afternoon and ex
hibiting his And.
"Luck! Luck! Don't you talk to me
about luck!" she fairly shrieked, plung
ing into the sofa cushions and hysterica.

It out of tho window sho uttered tho
usual fomiuino oath, “Drat the thing,

felt better.—New York Herald.
Chased by a Bullet.
It was in a well known hotel in Bangor.
A party of gentlemen were conversing on
one subject and another. During a lull
in the conversation one gentleman noticed
a scar on tho hand of another, and inter
rogated hi in as to the cause. The other
answered that he received it in a very
curious way, and told the following story
in regard to it: •
I got that wound in the battle of Get
tysburg. 1 had been fighting all day and
felt very tired, and so sat down on a rock
and shot from there. I was just loading
up my gun when a long, lean, lank fel
low darted by ino, making for tho woods
like a streak of greased lightning. 1 up
with my gun and let drive at him, but he
didn’t drop, and as I had shot just D99
and didn’t want to lose the thousanth, J
started after him.
1 never saw a man run so fast in all
iny adventurous life, and I could see that
I was gaining upon him, but every once
in a while 1 lost sight of him behind a
tree or ruck. I noticed a lull in tho fight,
and glancing aside I saw’ that l»oth armies
had stopped fighting and were straining
their eyes to see tho race.
That raised my courage, and I forgot
ill about being tired. Just then 1 made
i spurt of speed, and as 1 did so I felt
something strike my hand which spread
jnt like tho fan of a windmill.
Well, to make a long story short, 1
sanght up with him and was about to
jollar him when he turned about and
iried to stab me. 1 dodged his blow, and
jnst then something hit him and he fell
over dead.
1 sat down beside him to rest, and as
I did so noticed blood trickling down my
hand. On closer investigation I found
that there was a bullet hole in the palm.
The dead pian bad a bullet hole in his
breast, and 1 am positive in my belief
that both wounds were made by tho
same ballet, and that it was the same
ballet that I had fired at the Confederate.
The race w’as so hot that 1 caught up with
and passed It at some time during my
chase, That i$ why I now wear that
scar.—Bangor News.

II. Could Sympathise.
I was walking along a street given
over to the smallest of shops and almost
the cheapest of restaurant*, when 1 mota
good looking ten-year-old boy in shabby,
respectable clothes.
It was autumn, and I carried a bnne-h
of Aaming, splendid maple leaves,
stopped, as if the sight of them really
took bis breath away.
, “Oh, give me one," ho gently ex
claimed, in a manner that was more
than polite. It lifted our interview
straightway into some rare, snperhaman
atmosphere, where perfect simplicity
became a matter of conrso. Unfor
tunately this was not so becoming to me
ns to him.
1 said, “Oh, 1 bate tol” lint at the
same time I began looking for the mean
est little leaf 1 could And. When 1 had
discovered and was presenting it, shame
overcame mo, and torn with conflicting
emotions, 1 said:
1 know I’m being horridly stingy."
Never mind,” said my boy, in a big,
masculine, comforting manner. “I
know just how yon feeL”
He smiled hiB thanks reassuringly, nnd
we parted never to meet ugain. I de
clare, 1 could write a sad little poem
about it this minute.—Atlantic Monthly.

Treatment of llor*-..
The redoubtable Samuel Parr proved
as great a bore to De Quineey as the dip
lomatist did to Coleridge. The opium
eater, sensitive little spirit that he was,
did not often pnt himself in the way of
being bored. He was completely taken
by surprise, on his Arst meeting with
the scholar of prodigious fame, to And
Lta no better than a slander mongcring
“old babbler.”
Byron’s method of dealing with the
gentry was even noro ingenious than
Scott’s, who himself assumed tlie ardu
ous task of boring his bore. Byron used
to set Monk Lewis (whom be found
as great a bore as Scott did) on to some
“vivacious person," who peculiarly ab
horred the trilic— as, for example, he
says. Mine, do Sta. l or Hobhouso—and
leave the pair to Aght it out together,
while he quietly enjoyed his revenge.
Bnt even this was more humane than
tho conduct of those who, like Douglas
Jerrold, leave their boro in tiio lurch.
“Well, what’s going on today'/” asked
the bore, lull primed for a siege. “I
am,"returned the wit, hurrying remorse
lessly past.
“Do not dnll people boro you:” one of
his companions at the breakfast table
asked of the autocrat. “Madame,” was
J>r. Holmes* suggestive reply, “all men
are bore* except when we want them."

BIsa Must Unto » Cook.
Man always needs a cook. A college
professor, bereft of his wife, who had
done his hoosework for years, engaged a
cook at greater wages than had been the
allowanoe ho gave his wife. Ho bar
gained for punctuality. "I must have
my dinner at 12," ho stated. “I can’t
get it ready till 1 o’clock," she answered.
He yielded and changed the hour of his
college recitation. The next weok she
demanded a now stove, os tho old one
was too low. “It costs too much,” he
expostulated. “I can’t afford to hart
my back," she repliod.
Ho knew it was not so easy to And an
other good cook, and bought the stove.

the carpenter that tho back staircoso

Emmet's Presence of Miud.
A story is told of Robert Emmet which
proved his secretive power and resolu
tion. Hu was fond of studying chemistry,
and one night late, after the family had
gone to bed, he swallowed n large quan
tity of corrosive sublimate In mistake for
sorno acid cooling powder. Ho immedi
ately discovered his mistake nnd knew
that death most shortly ensue unless be
instantly swallowed the only antidote,
chalk.
Timid men wonld have torn nt the
bell, roused all the family and sent for a
stomach prnup. Emmet called noono,
made no noise, bnt, stealing down stairs
and unlocking tho front door, went into
the stable, scraped sotno chalk which he
knew to be there ahd took sufficient doses
of it to neutralize the poison.—New York

A Certain Cure lor Dyspepsia.
There is perhaps no disease so prevalent as
Dyspepsia and indigestion, and ona too. that up
to the present time has baffled the skill of tho
most eminent pbysioians. Two-thirds of the
chronic diseases have their origin in Dyspepsia.
The symptoms are loss of appetite, loss of flesh
a feeling of fulness or weight in the stomach,
occasionally nausea and vomiting, oddity, flatu
lence, dull pain in the head, with a sensation of
heaviness or giddiness, irregularity of bowels,
low spirits, sleeplessness, sallow skin, derange
