Thrown and Injured.
Yesterday afternoon, while two lads

the horse of one of them, startled by
something, became frightened and threw

slightly. Nothing serious.
thing towards the selection of another
name beyond an informal discussion,
during which varipus suggestions were
made: among which were those of having
the stockholders to vote by shares;
leaving the selection of a new name to
the ladies; letting a committee of the
board decide on it; taking a popular vote
of the city, etc., etc.
The board of directors is now open to
suggestions from any quarter; and will
act carefully and with due consideration,
being determined that when the name is
finally selected it will be the very best
that the eonsensns of the competent can
devise.
It will be remembered that before the
name was selected The Ti jies-Recordee
quoted quite a number of suggestions
from various citizens; and as the sugges
tions then made virtually cover the
ground, it is hardly too much to say that
from among the names heretofore
mentioned in The Time—Recorder, a
selection is very likely to be made.
Everybody who ever tried it knows
how hard it is to name a baby, even
when there are only a few persons to be
pleased; and the board has no easy task
in naming the Americus baby; for scores
of persons are interested; and the board
wants to select a name as nearly satis
factory as possible to everybody whose
interest in the property, or good judg
ment in matter* of nomenclature, are
entitled to consideration. While the
board is not “advertising for bids," it
might not be ont of order for the public
to make suggestions in a modest spirit;
and to all such the columns of The
Tihes-Becorder are open. Let’s hear
from the public; it will give us all some
thing to talk about for the next few
days, and somebody might stumble
upon a happy bit that will be just what
the board is looking for.

Hadly Frightened.
The dash of lightning which got here
about 9 o'clock last night knocked all
the life out of the electric dynamo so
suddenly that many people thought the
angel Gabriel was about to sound the
final toot. Among the badly frightened
of our people was Mrs. Bedenbeau,
mother-in law of|[ Robert G-ay, a well-
known employe of the electric light
company. This lady dropped in a dead
faint when the lights went out thinking
that the end had come. Drs. J. B. and
A. B. Hinkle were summoned, and in a
short time Mrs. Bedenbeau was restored.

Notice
The patrons of The Time-Recorder
are urged to pay promptly the bills
which are now due for subscription, ad'
vertlsing and job work for the past
month. A newspaper has to pay its
labor the cash weekly, aud on the first
of the mouth it is necessary for all its
bills to be promptly collected.
The current expenses of The Times-
Recorder establishment are about 830
per day, which must be paid every
Monday without fail or delay.
We are therefore compelled to press
collections; and while the small bills
that some owe may cause them to re
gard the matter as Insignificant, these
small accounts aggregate several thou
sand dollars, which we are 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.
