Not Much Doing — A P!e«M»t Ger man—Tho Parlor Entertainment—Other Note* of Interest Occurring In Society’s Domain. 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. COTTOX IS COMING IN !r SOMETHING ABOUT YESTEROAY’S RECEIPTS OF THE STAPLE. Th. Crowded Street, of Amerlrn.—How the Planter. Cain, to Town—The Num ber ol Hale. Tlint Came to the City—What the War.hou.emen Say. 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. M. L. Mybick. Miss Xannie Lou Hawkins with Hr. Antllotti. 'iii I* Hr. and Mrs. Will Hawkins. Messrs. John Sheffield, Charlie Hun tington, Jr., Henry White, Willie Haw kins,.

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.
