With the following additional sugges
tion* as to a suitable name for the new
hotel in our city, the books will close,
and the matter be left to the decision of
the board of directors:

If you want to know what we
moan by a SWEEPING Reduc
tion, come to this
Tiik Times-Recordeh: I think “The
Dixie" would be a very suitable name.
E. B.
The Times-Recorder: Why not call
our new hotel “The Dixie?”
Grandma.
The Times-Recorder: As the sub
ject of naming our inn has become a
hoary-headed chestnut to bo Indited in
history as a serial to Annie Rooney, it is
my Intention to drop a quietus on this
modulated state of things by christen
ing it‘‘The Alcazar.” Order the sign
painted and start 'erup. You “naralsts"
may all go home now, I don't need you
any longer. P. S.—I have been lioldiug
this name in reserve for just such an
emergency, and If 'twas numbered, I'd
try It on the Louisiana State Lottery.
Centipede.
The Times-Recoiider: I offer the
name of “Hotel Vcndorae" for our now-
hotel. I don’t know what it means; but
I do know that I stopped at a hotel of
this name In New York once, and It
beat anything for luxury, civility, and
bang-up style I ever struck In this coun
try or Europe. If our hotel ever ap
proximates “The Vendome" of New
Tork, the DeSoto and the Ponce do
Leon will have to bo satisfied with sec
ond and third places. If you want style
and oddity in a name “Tlio Vendome”
Is the proper caper. A Tourist.
HELLO, POSTOFFICE!
The Times-Recohdeh: I suggest
The Windsor.” There is something
grand In the sound of the name. If a
castle, you look for something magnifi
cent; If a hotel, something very elegant
and luxurious. In short, tho name In
dicates something above the ordinary.
Our new hotel represents our rapid
progress in the last few years, and what
could be more appropriate than to give
How's This?—Only Fifteen Mile. Away, end
s Day Behind Time.
What's the matter with the mall ser
vice?
Is the representative of Uncle Sam at
this point overcome by the h»at or by—
the water?
Listen to this growl, Mr. Mallcarrier:
Desoto, cie.. August 19—The Times-Re-
cokokr: f have been yetting a paper that
was a day old ror more than a week. If you
can't send your paper dally, please do not
seud It at all. Vours. dlsgusled,
•I. A. Williams.
Now, that is what might be called
tough. Here is a citizen of the thriving
boro of DeSoto, only fifteen miles away,
shut out from the refulgert light and
brilliant scintillations of The Times-
Recorder for twenty-foui hours afeer
schedule time. No wondei lie is dis
gusted. To think of a cash subscriber
for The Times-Recohdeh being de
prived of bis mental pabulum for an
entire day Is Irritating beyond
expression. A man might pos
sibly put up with h.» wife
her relatives missing several trains; but
his newspaper, never.
The Times-Recohdeh never loses its
temper—that is, hardly ever—but It is
in order to call the attention of our es
teemed postmaster to the little fairy
story of tlio wicked boy up a tree and
the good farmer. It is well-known bow
that wicked boy would not -‘take a
drop” on himself by a tuft-of-grass per
suasion, and bow bo was forced to
“tumble” at last when the pious farmer
resorted to the weightier argument of
stones. This is only the tuft-of-grass
that is (lung to-day. Will our wicked
mailboy come downP or shall—but he’ll
come down.

A Good One on Troy Holder*
One day this week Sheriff Troy Holder
of Lumpkin, went over to the Chatta
hoochee river to arrest a negro whom he
wanted. Arriving there he found his
man, who saw the sheriff about as soon
as the sheriff saw him. He was sitting
in a teut near the river and had just re
turned from a fishing trip and had a
large lot of fish near where he was sit
ting. When he saw Troy he made a
rush for the swamp arriving there in
safety, but leaving his fish. Troy look-
it the name of one of our fellow citizens
wbohas done so much to bring
our Prosperous condition In my h „ man . H „ at oacc mado hl , mlnd .
opinion “The Windsor’ would prove an stooping down he counted out his fish,
acceptable name to a large majority of
our citizens, and would be a guarantee
to the tourist or commercial traveler
that Americus had a hotel to be proud
of. C.

The Times-Recohdeh: Some defunct
poet has asked, “Wlmt's in a name?”
If tbe spirit of tbe said poet could re
visit our planet to-day, be would have
more sense than to ask such a foolish
question. “What's in a name?" Every
thing! Try some names on a hank
check, or a note, and in many other
ways, and see the difference in names.
And this applies to hotels in a marked
degree. A scrub name will kill any
thing. It is on record that many a
traveler has declined to go to a certain
good hotel on account of its insignificant
name. Thefore let us select a
name which indicates what our
hotel is going to be—a first-
class establishment from basement to
roof. I therefore suggest the name
“Excelsior.” B. S.
