Yesterday afternoon, while two lads were having a little fun on horseback, the horse of one of them, startled by something, became frightened and threw the rider, Esten Buchanan. Head cut 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.

A S. aug lJd-thtirs-tf 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. Times Pcblisbixo Company. Envelope,! Envelope,!!

The courtship has ex tended over a period of five years. The commissioner's court has been in session at Midland, Tex., the first time since the state rabbit law went into effect.

Their tour has extended to St. Paul aud Minneapolis to St. Louis. They have not ridden the entire distance on their wheels, but about 900 miles have been covered iu that way.
