four excellently played gatocH of whist
made the meeting an extremely enjoy
able one. The club meets next Wednes
day at the residence of Mrs. R. T. Byrd.
This has been rather an off week In
society circles. Many of the young
ladies are preparing to attend school,
and others have gone, and so there has
been somewhat of a lull in the usual
number of pleasant gatherings which en
liven charming Americas.
The Americus Club have perfected
their arrangements and " ill move into
tlielr new quarters as soon as some re-
I pairs can be made. The club will have
! things in tine shape soon, and propose
to entertain royally this winter.

The notable event of the week, and
one which called forth a happy Mtem-
biage of young people, wa» the elegant
german danced at Col. S. H. Hawkins'
on Tuesday evening. This elegant home
and Its handsome furnishings must be
seen to be appreciated. The most min
ute description could convey no Ides of
its beanty and surroundings. The floral
decorations were elaborate and artistic.
The grand hallway was decorated
with palms, and the dancing saloon was
fragrant from the open conservatory
which joined it
Miss Xannie Lou Hawkins received
her guests in her usual graceful and
natural style, ably assisted by Col. and
Mrs. Hawkins and Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Hawkins.
The musicians were screened in a
most uolquo alcove, and the delightful
strains of music proved an inspiration to
the merry dancers.
The german was led by Mr. Eugene
Hawkins, jr. one of the most captivating
and superior dancers of the circle.
Many dainty Innovations were intro
duced and the german was one of the
prettiest Imaginable.
The pleasant zephyrs drew many of
the guests from the house to the piazzas
and lawn, where brilliant electric lights
brought oat trees, plants and shrubs.
The blue clouds of the soft summer eve
ning overshadowed the happy party,
and the twinkling stars gently smiled
their approval on scenes so enchanting.
The display of elegant toilets has not
been equaled here before this season. Xew
gowns were brought out and gazed upon
admiringly for the first time that night.
Mr. Hawkins .conducted the german
with tact and precision, and won many
encomiums from the following dancers,
who enjoyed the evening to the utmost:
Miss Alice Wheatley with Olio Dixon.
Miss Flora Wheatley with Brown
Burkbalter.
Miss Charley Wheatley with Ed
Haynes.
Miss Hsttle Windsor with Mr. Myro-
ver.
Miss Callle Windsor with Mr. Nor-
maun.
Miss Charlie Hitt with Joe Hightower.
Misa Caddoo with Isom Cain.
Mlsa Em Prince with Walter Crisp.
Hiss Jennie Hollis with Lester Wlnd-
Tbe musical club is making efforts to
procure suitable rooms. Nearly a hun
dred names are enrolled, and when or
ganized the club will give weekly and
monthly entertainments.
The musical and dramatic talent of
our city is of a superior order, and noth
ing is to refilling and improving as
music. It is earnestly hoped by all lov
ers of art that this movement will meet
with success, and that during the winter
evenings we will be enlivened by the
delightful strains of music from our
sweet singers.
The young men have Issued a call to
all young democrats, and asked that the
clans gather on the 9th Inst While thla
meeting will not peculiarly belong to
the social, there will be many pleasant
aentiments no doubt dispensed during
tbe many meetings which these young
and patriotic democrats propose to in-
troditce. The organization can only
prove a benefit to the young men mor
ally, socially and politically. In num
bers there is strength.

The ladles of the Hethodlit church
gave a delightful parlor entertainment at
the handsome home of Hr. H. B. Coun
cil on Tuesday night, and were greeted
with a most appreciative audience.
Tbe large parlor* of this elegant new
home were filled with the friendi and
admirers of the ladles who have done
•ueb good work in Americus. The en
tertainment was a success In every par
ticular, and the following programme
was most artistically rendered:

Mrs. Maxwell, Hiss Cranberry, Mr. Hor-
nady.
Vocal Solo—“The Bird Carol”-Mias
Cranberry.
Duet—Uuitar accompaniment—Bosn

Mrs. J. L. Hack was the accompanist
for tbe singera. She plays superbly
and her fine accompaniments' contrib
uted very greatly to the success and en
joyment of tbe programme, Tbe enter
tainments given by the Christian Work
ers are always delightful and this lost
was no lea* eo than the preceding ones.
Change of Schedule.
The Central railroad has a change of
schedule to-day, by which the up and
down day passenger trains which here
tofore met at Smlthville, now meet at
Americua at 1.08 p. m. There Is no
change In other tralne on the .South
western division.
The morning train ol the Columbus
division heretofore leaving at 8:20 a. m.,
Is scheduled to depart 50 mlnutea ear
lier, or 7250 a. m. The afternoon ac
commodation formerly leaving at 4:45 p.
m., will on Monday leave at 130 p. m.
Tbit same train coming In from Coin tu
bas, will arrive at 12:15 p. m., Instead of
12:45 p. m., at before.
One of the advantages of this new
sobedule is that passengers leaving
Americas at 1 ••03 p. m., will reach At
lanta In time for supper, about 8 o'clock.
People will also have several hours time
to spend In Macon in the afternoon,
from 3:45 p. m. to 8:25 p. m , being
able to return on the night train which
reaches here at 11.“20 p. m., as now.
There !■ a slight change In the freight
trains on tbe S. A. A M. railroad, bat
none In the passenger trains. This
makes a discrepancy between the ar
rival of the Savannah train at 8 o'clock
a. m., and its proposed departure via
the Savannah A Western at • 7:30 a. m.,
under the Central’s new schedule,
which will have to be remedied by the
Colnmbua train being held for 30 min
utes until tbe 8. A. A U. train arrives,
as this la the through train from Savan
nah to Columbua, and the connection
muet be made.
It Was His Birthday.
All day last Friday Dr. W. C. Russell,
the poputar proprietor of “The Phar
macy,” corner of Colton avenue and For
syth street, was the recipient of congrat
ulations and mementos*.
It was hie birthday, and he was just
years old on that date; the blank Is
left fpi tho doctor to Hi! In, as the drug
gists, like some of the fslr sex, are
rather diffident when It comes eo telling
ages. However, Dr. llussell is still
young and handsome, for that matter.
Among the many handsome presents
from admiring friends, the doctor re
ceived a diamond scarf-pin, a pug dog
and a regular “dude" cane with a great
big oxydized silver head; but what he
most prizes is a groat bouquet of rare
hot-hnuso plants that came by yesterday
morning's express.
Yesterday was a busy day in Amort
cus.
That isn't to say that every day here
is not full of business; bnt that it was an
unusually busy day.
In the first place the streets were
crowded all day with people who had
that “ring of metal” about them, which
makes a tradesman's heart glad; and in
the second place the tradesmen bod their
hands full.
To be practical, yesterday was really
the opening day of the busy season In
Americus.
As early as six o’clock wagons and ve
hicles of every description, from a four-
horse team to a light spring wsgon
drawn by a decrepit mule, wended their
way* down the pretty streets of Ameri
cus, all of them loaded down with bales
of cotton.
It wai a general onslaught of “King
Cotton" on Americus.
Tbe cotton-buyers and warehousemen
were happy all day, for business was
good with them—they had their hands
full. On the other side the farmer was
happy because he had no trouble in mak
ing sales snd he got more for his cotton
than ho really hoped for.
The advice to “pick early, gin fast
and sell quick” has been taken by the
average farmer in this section; and they
are realizing tho benefits that accrue
from following good advice. All day
long the streets were crowded with peo
ple from the country,and a good-natured
jovial crowd It was! At times during
the day It was not an easy job for one in
a burry to make his way down the prln
cipal streets; for tbe crowd was dense
and tbe police were constantly engaged
in telling somebody to "move on.”
Inquiries at the four big warehouses
elicited the information that the fine
weather for the greater part of last
week was responsible for tbe influx of
cotton, and, further, that in comparison
with last year’s crop, the grade of the
staple la far better.
Said one warehouseman: “The re
ceipts for to-day augurs nothing but a
prosperous, busy and profitable cotton
season for Am ericus. In the first place,
cotton is bringing a fair price now, tbe
staple is all one conld wish at this stage
of the season, and the weather is fine.
There's no doubt but that Americua will
have a fine cotton season.”
Planters who came into Americus with
tbelr cotton yesterday expressed them,
selves In terms that showed a great deal
of hopefulneta and they teemed elated at
the rise in the price of cotton.
A Times-Recobdbb reporter visited the
different warehouses yesterday after
noon, and learned that tbe aggregate re
ceipt* for thaday were; 786 balsa!-Think
of that will you—nearly 1,000 bale* of
cotton by wagon* alone, in one day. If
that Isn't a good showing, what would be?
The cotton buyers ware busy as bees
all day, and there was no trouble for the
planter to dispose ot his crop at a very
good price. Indeed, tome of them ex
pressed surprise at the prices received;
for, expecting to get 7 cents, -they re
ceived ae high as 81 cents per pound.
Taken altogether, yesterday was a big
day for business in Amerlcne, and the
advent of “King Cotton” wa* a great
thing for the average merchant!
Aa a warehouseman expressed It,
Cotton is king, and Americus holds
three of a kind!”
OAK HALE.
Under a New Management In the Future—
Mr. McKenna Retire#.
Mr. F. McKenna retires tliia week
from the management of the Oak Hall
restaurant and billiard parlor. In retir
ing from his present field of action, Mr.
McKenna carries with him the best
wishes of a host of friends In this com
munity. After spending a short time
visiting Indian Springs and other re
sorts, Mr. McKenna will locate in Macon.
The new manager, Mr. Frank K. Gard
ner, enters on his duties under the most
favorable auspices. Ae assistant mana
ger, with Mr. McKenm, he has won for
himself and Oak Hail A patronage not
excelled by any man in tbe same line of
business in Americus.
Mr. Gardner proposes, in tile position
of sole manager of Oak Hall, to make
that establishment os attractive as any
similar place even in Xew York city.
Xo expense will be spared on the part
of tbe owners, snd Mr. Gardner will
take care of the reat. It is the nnanl
mous verdict of our people that the pro-
prietor* of Oak Hall made a splendid
selection when they placed Frank K.
Gardner in charge.
