THE AMERICA'S DAILY T1MES-REC0RDER: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1391.
LAST OF THE SEASON.
THEAMERICUS BARBECUE CLUBON
ITS LAST INNING.
The Wind Up of 1801-A Km.t of Hoe nml
Oratory— Uv.rj body Happy—The Porker
aud "Trimming*" Enjnyv.l Hugely—
Tlmnk. to the 8. A. M. Hoy*.
Tbo genuine, old fashioned southtru
hog barbecue la a n nelly to even many
a man who has lived in the south for
years. It is a social reunion and feast
peculiar to our people, and one that is
not often enjoyed outside of Georgia
For seven years the Americas barbe
cue Club has observed this old-t
custom of social entertainment, and
during this period the club has had th
honor of entertaining some of the most
eminent men in the land.
On these monthly festal occasions all
differences, political and otherwise, arc
buried, and harmony and good fellow
ship prevail. In short, all the guests and
members of the club meet on the dead
level of common humanity, and north
erner and southerner exchange senti
ments of sympathy which are delightful
to listen to for the time being and en
couraging for all time to come.
While the entertainments in the past
of the Amcricua Barbecue Club hare
always been delightful, yet the wind-up
of the season of 1801 yesterday was con
spicuously enjoyable. In the first place
the bog and “trimmings” were all that
the fancy of the moat exacting epicure
could Imagino, and the “wet goods”
filled the bill to overflowing.
After full justice was done to the
solids and fluids, and everybody felt
mellow and happy, Col. E. O. Simmons
was persuaded to come to the front and
explain to the club what excuse he had
for being alive.
Col. Simmons stepped forward, and in
a very able and interesting speech told
the club that he was glad to be alive
and to be with them on all such occa
sions. For his part, be could not under
stand how any man conld ever wish to
die while the Amerlcus Barbecue Club
was dispensing such hospitality and
good cheer among their fellow men. He
hoped that the club would continue In
well-doing while hog meat grew in
-Georgia.
Hon. William if. Qawkes was the
# next offender arraigned at the bar of the
Club.
This gentleman made an able and,elo
quent defense. He claimed that he was
on the grounds of the club, not only to
devour bis share of the succulent porker
and to imbibe the exhilarating German
elixir, bnt to tender a vote of thanks to
the S. A. M. boys who had ao magnifi
cently contributed to the happiness of
the occasion. His only regret was that
there were not more of the & A. If.
boys present to enjoy the festivities. In
•conclusion he moved a vote of thanks to
the donors of the feast
Ur. Hawkes was acquitted of any
guilty intention to do the dead bog any
bodily barm, but was bound over to
answer the German elixir charge before
the tame tribunal next April.
The next victim was an Itinerant ven
der of ancient history and Muekalee
lore. Ur. U. U. Folsom was dragged to
the front by the chief of police, who baa
him In charge while he remains In this
vicinity. This defendsst belongs to the
tribe known as “Scribes,” and distantly
related to the “.Pharisees" of old. On
taking the stand Mr. Folsom declared
that ho was innocent; that be didn't
know the first thing about how the bog
got there, or who roasted the animal;
and that be never took a drink of Ger
man beer In hts life—that It was too
mild a dose for bis educated appetite.
If he drank at all, ho wanted something
that be could fcol all the way through
his anatomy.
The jury, In the case of Ur. Folsom,
brought in a verdict of “lying in the
first degree,” and for the next six
months the Atlanta Journal will have to
jog along as best It can without the ser
vices of one of Its ablest correspondents.
Chief of Police Lingo will receive Ur.
Folsom's mall until his friends come for
ward and pay his flue.
Then came Dr. W. P. Burt, Ur. J. C.
Roney, Ur. J. W. Bulla, Ur. H. T.
Davenport, and others, all of whom had
some excuse to offer for being caught on
the grounds.
But the toughest case was that of Dan
Borum, the chorister of the club, who
disappeared before the formal closing of
the services. This entirely uulooked
for action on the part of Mr. Borum
threw the club Into a fit, and without
the slightest hesitancy the aforesaid
Daniel was fined five dollars.
The singers of the club then favored
the assemblage with a few choice selec
tions, after which tlio Amerlcus Barbe
cue Club adjourned for tbe year 1801.
At the close of tbe festivities,it was re
marked by a gentleman present that the
S.A. M. railroad boys wound up the pres
ent barbecue year in good shape, but that
the alliance members would discount
them in e*ery way when they opened up
the season of 1892.
The thanks of every man who has en
joyed the hospitalities of the club dur
ing the present season are on record, and
to each member feelings of gratitude
were freely expressed in the good old
saying—“May you all live long and pros
per!”
COTTON CONVENTION.

It has been arranged for the cotton
growers of Georgia to liolil a convention

Florida Phosphate.
Capt. Thus. M. Allen has just returned
from Florida, where lie has largo phos
phate interests. Capt. Allen Is manager
of agencies for the Americus National
Building and Loan Association, and
while on a visit to Florida, in the inter-
est of his association, about two months
ago, be was so favorably Impressed with
the phosphate business that he decided
to Invest In some lauds In that section,
and with Messrs. E. Taylor and W. P.
Wallis made large purchases.
His last trip to the land of flowers and
phosphates was to more thoroughly test
the value of tbe deposits ou the lands
which he bad purchased. He made
thorough examination and la highly
pleased with the results. He has al
ready been offered a handsome profit,
reaching Into the thousands, on his In-
vestments, but is so fully satisfied of Its
value that he will hold it for a yet lar
ger advance. Success to the captain and
hla associates.

One of the moet popular hotel* on thff

name the “Brooks House,” presided
over by Hiss Willie Brooks, one of the
most popular ladles of tbe traveling
publlo to southwest Georgia. The

there but reiterates' the praise that has

Called to Alabama.
Yesterday morning Ur. L. F. Oakley,
of the firm of Beall A Oakley, received
a telegram from bl* wife, who it visiting
ber old home, Columbia, Ala., that hla
little daughter was very sick, and to
come at once. Ur. Oakley left on the af
ternoon train, aeeompanied by Dr.
George J. Miller, who goes to attend
the little sufferer. Tiie Tiues-Recod-
dek hopes that tbe little one may soon
recover.
representing t’
:rvice, lias been in
cek looking into
in general, and
whether we are entitled to a free deliv
ery in particular.
It is gratifying to bo able to report
that Mr. Bulla is satisfied tiiat Americus
is ontitlcd to all the advantages accruing
to a post-office business which lias
reached the financial receipts specified
by law. Not only in point of business is
Americus entitled to these postal advan
tages, but oar increase of population in
tbo past few years has something to do
with the matter.
The annual postal receipts at this
point are far in excess of #10,000, and
our population is not far from the same
figures. Consequently, as soon as pos
sible, say about the middle of October,
our people will be enjoying the free de
livery system, with twenty-six street
mall boxes, and one at each depot and
one at tbe new hotel.
To serve this free delivery of mail
matter four carriers will be required,
and the city will be divided into four
districts.
An engineer lias drawn a map of the
city, and the mail boxes will be located
at tbe most advantageous and conven
ient points.
Of course it will take some time to
arrange all the details of the work and
get thing! into working order, but it is
safe to predict that the 15th of next
month will see four of our citizens wear
ing tbe postal uniform of Uncle Sam and
delivering mall matter at our doors
morning and evening.
Ur. Bulla makes a most favorable re
port of the condition of our post-office,
and speaks very highly of the efficiency
of our postmaster.
All of which la not only very pleasant
to our postoffice officials, but to the en
tire community.
This may be considered as one of the
best evidences of the growth and pros
perity of the city we live in. May we
oontlnue-to grow and) prosper, is the
wish of The Tiues-Recordeb.
