THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1891. i. Shoes for Young! Shoes for Old! Shoes for Rich! Shoes for Poor! LOOK AT YOUR .11 SHOES! Mi i h Fair ? -THE- Great American hagle’ SHOE STORE, 119 Forsyth St. SMITHVILLE ItASEBALLISTS H«t« ail Inning * galuat "Th. Time.-Recor- der"—Th-j Sinks N.ry n ltun. I.a«t week a strong delegation of base ball players came over to onr town from Smltbville to kavo a little fun with the Ameiicus Athletic club. When they reached the field of action, and saw that our club was composed of nine strip lings, they smiled a soft, winning smile. When they quit, the game stood 23 to 10 against the Smithvlllians, and, instead of smiling, they wept. But when they reached the Hawkins hotel, they held a caucus, and decided unanimously that they would get even some way. And the only way to do this was to “down" everything eatable and drinkable that they could reach at the supper table. This they proceeded to do with energy and dispatch. When they finished this "game," all that remained in the dining room were the waitersand the tablecloths. In reporting tbe ball game on this oc casion, The TimES-KecobdBB referred to the ability of the visitors as food do stroyers, and complimented them on their right and left fielding in front of beefsteak, chops,ham and eggs, etc. As a return for the free pulling they re ceived at that time, they sent on tlio following ungrateful epistle: Smitiivill*. On., August lti.—Amkhicits TiME8-REC'0BPmt:-\Ve noticed nn article In your paper stating tie quantity, hut not the qua Ity, our boys nte the other night. A, the witter of that article has taken such an Interest in our welfare, we would like for him to go and find out what our bill Is, pre sent It, and we will gladly semi the mooey. If the landlord 111 not receive the money, we would like for the writer of that article to have It, as we really think he Is very much In need of It. We believe the man who tvrote th et article waa raised on half rations. One optiis Eaters. Somebody has written that ingratitude Hasju,t what you want. come down to that part of the epistle which speaks about finding out what their bill is. Is it possible that these champion eat er* failed to pay their bill? Can such things he, and overcome us in such a fashion? No, no; it cannot be. Perish the thought! But the writer says, “IVe will gladly send the monoy, if the land lord will receive it.” Then it must have been merely an oversight on the part of the visitors: They were so depressed anu so full on that occasion, that they forgot all about the settling part. However, it is not too late even now to remember this little matter; and it is a dead certainty that the landlord will not refuse the money. Therefore the writer of the baseball report referred to will stand no show of getting nny part of that snpper money; and consequently he will have to con tinue on half rations—something ho could never do if he were built like tbe stalwart feeders from SmithvUle. STILL CALLING NAMES For Our Now Hotel—Queer, Quaint, Carl one, and Foolish. The Timer-Ukcoudeb: I respectful ly suggest “The Crispean" as a suitable name for our new hostelry. G. The Tihes-Recoboer: What's a pret tier name for tbe new hotel of your city than Ocala? L. A. W. The Times-Hecordeh: Permit to suggest the name “Montezuma,” as a suitable one for the new hotel. T. B. The Times-Kecobdeb: How do you fancy the name of “Osceola” for your new hotel? J. M. No one has won the blue ribbon yet by striking an acceptable namo for qui- new hotel. The following are the latest efforts in that direction: A Sweeping Reduction will be made’ on all Foot-Wear purchased of us in the Next 30 Days I In this Sweeping Sacrifice Sale unpreceodented bargains will be offered on all LOW CUT SUM MER SHOES, audjwo expect that the announcement of this sale wiU “Sweep the Town!” We are not after room as most merchants would say—but are AF TER MONEY—room we hare enough—but are SHORT ON MONEY/ If you wont to know what we moan by a SWEEPING Reduc tion, come to this 30 Clean Day The Timer-Recorder: I suggest that tile hoard of directors take all the names handed in up to date, placo them in a hat, and then draw one. The one drawn to he the name of the hotel. S. T. M. The Timer-Recorder: I know a lot of good names, but I don't propose to give them out for nothin'. Why don’t you oiler a prize for the winner? I am like Senator Ingalls, I want coin for brain work, and I want It— P. D. Q. The Timer-Recorder: Suppose you mnko a new departure, and name your hotel after some woman celebrated In history. I think men have had a mo nopoly of this sort of thing long enough What do you think of tbs namo of Sarah Lease— the “Lease Hotel.” Sadie.

Well aa In Heaven. Tlio congregation of the Bethel Bap tist church (colored), of this city, after a struggle of eight years, are now singing ‘Glory hallelujah! We are out of the wilderness!” Which means that they are out of debt, and now possess a clear title to tho building where they wor ship. Rev, K. Munson, the pastor, is deserv ing of great credit for his untiring zeal in that worthy cause. His lost effort brought the required balance, $303.02, which raised the debt and gladdened the hearts of his fiock. This building was formerly owned by a Presbyterian (white) congregation. It was sold to Its present owners for $1,- 2.10. Tbe Interest paid on this amount brought tho total up to nearly $2,000, which it took tbe colored brethren near ly eight years to pay. But they paid it; and now they can worship God with more earnestness than over. Religion means something when worshipers deny themselves to give to the Lord. This is the test of faith; and these Baptists have proved their faith. A Correction. Some time sinco I wrote an artiole in which I described tho birthplace of Sara Houston, hero of San Jacinto, president of Texas, hlgh-muck-a-muck, et cetera, which 1 discovered near Americus. It made a very pretty story, and I patted myself on the head and felt real good until somebody who know better kindly corrected mo and showed up my want of biographical knowledge and careless method of compiling facts. I have waited my opportunity, and now, though tardy; my correction is j ance. about to appear. I revisited the spot to-day, and I am Impressed w ith tlio fact that General Houston mado a great mis take in not being born out thore, for it is ono of the most appropriate places for him to Uavo boon born In that I know of anywhere, and I havo traveled from Tidalia on tho S. A. M. road, near about to Omaha, on the same road, and I (pent most an hour in Unadllla once after having stayed ail night at Sycamore. The fellow who was born there was named Hubert, and bis cousin was actually a governor.
