Snap Shota by the Itepor- torlal Camera-What Wai Going on In Town Told la Briefest Manner. Of Southwest Ga.: With compliments of the season, we respectfnllyjinvite your -j attention to our IMMENSE LINE i High Me TAILOR-FITTING The cotton receipts yesterday amount ed to 370 bales at the warehouses. School begins Monday, and there Is a lively flutter among the youngsters in consequence. A detective from Macon was In Amer- Icus yesterday, and something may be heard to drop in a day or two. Contractor Smith says that when he gets the finishing ornaments on the water tower It will look like a light house. Testerday's mayor’s court was held for the first time in the new city hall, and the number of unlucky people was thir teen—tlio unlucky number. For the past few days there havo been numerous strangers in Americus, but yesterday thirty-two of them registered at the Allen House, took their depart ure. It is said that cotton pickers are de manding ,j0 cents and “feed” per hun dred in some portions of the county. They’ve heard of the threatened strike out west. The popular laugh-maker, Bobby Gay- lor, is on the high road to wealth. Out of bis earnings with the “Irish Arab’’ last season ho purchased four lots In Chicago and erected dwelling houses on them. Tickets for “Bobby Gaylor” will be on sale at Allison 4 Aycook’s Friday morn ing at 9 o’clock, by reason of Thomp son 4 Anderson's not being ready. Mr. Thompson will be there to sell the tickets. Among the Tubblsb near the old court house a watermelon vine grows undis turbed, and not one of the negro hands employed in tearing the building down has thrown anything upon ' it. Strange, isn’t It ? A couple of negro cotton pickers drew quite a crowd Into Oliver Bros, estab lishment yesterday with the music they extracted from harmonicas. They played everything, from “The Cackling Hen" up! Many people suppose that Bobby Gay- lor’s peculiarities of speech are affected by him, but it is not so. His strange In tonation of speech and peculiar Irish ac cent are perfectly natural to him, and were the cause of his changing from negro minstrelsy into Irish comedy work.

Murphy, tbe representative of the Bobby Gaylor Company, reached town last night and mode the necessary preparations for his company's perform ance here on tbe 15th. He is very en. tbuslastio over the merits of -both star and piece, andtbelupporting company. “When I engaged with Mr. Gaylor,” said Mr. Murphy, “I was a little uncer tain about accepting the position. I have, and always had, a most thorough dislike to euch exaggerated representa tion! of the Irish character as that given by Pst Rooney and others of t bat type, and never having seen Mr. Gaylor'e per formance, I Imagined him to be of that class, judging from his pictures. I therefore made diligent Inquiry about him and the results pleased me very much, consequently I accepted tbe en gagement. As the play had not been produced when I left New York, I bad no chance of seoing either tbe star or it until I reached Pittsburg. “Tlio house was packed to the doors, but I was bound to seo Gaylor or die. The manager of tbe theater gave mo a seat in his own box and together we wit nessed the performance. It’s very hard to make me laugh heartily, but Gaylor did it that night. I laughed until I cried, and when I looked at the mana ger of the theater, the tears were rolling down his cheeks too. Gaylor was cer tainly the funniest man I over saw, and the character of “Sport" flta him like a dot. He is neat In all his work, and have seen thousands of old Irishmen just like him all my life. “Mr. Brady, uuder whose direction Gaylor is starring, hts surrounded him with one of the best companies In ex- lstence to-day, and has left nothing un done to promote the success of the en terprise. There Is Georgia Parker, our dancer, for instance. If she were to get half the booming given to Carmenclta, the latter wouldn’t be beard of. Why, she has demonstrated that fact by doing all that Carmenclta does with equal grace and then going to an extremely opposite point by doing a Dutch sabot dance, or a genuine hoe-down. It was she who made “Hi Jennie Johnson” popular all over the country a few years ago. She Is a southern girl, and has more chlo and vim In her than other woman on the stage.” •The Olympic quartette,” wkloh was with “The Parlor Match” for seven years, Is also In our company. They have been over sixteen years together, and have probably no equals In this or any other country In their own particu lar line. I could tell you a lot about them, but os we have nearly thirty people it would take me quite a while. This much I will say, however, I have handled some of the finest Irish attrac tions that ever appeared in this country, and am very proud of being tho repre sentative of Mr. Gaylor and Ills talented company.” CAN'T SLEEP NIGUtS Is the complaint of thousands suffering from Asthma, Consumption, Coughs, etc Did you ever try Dr Acker’s Eng lish Remedy?

In addition to this we always look for the lowest price that factories will give,' and the best of it is, we don’t stop looking until we get there on all three points—quality, stylo and price. After gossiping on trade, novel ties and prices—gossip naturally drifts to the Artesian corner, onr store does not look very nice now; bnt it’s going to look nice inride of ten days, for by that time we will get rid of carpenters who are altering counters, etc.; get rid of Its not much gossip to tell you that when this new stock began to come in, it did not find onr shelves empty. Here, there and every where you could find a few odd sets of glasses and an odd lot of dishes—a stray lamp or two—the- last “trade orphans” left of a once bright lamp family, and we tell you , frandy, we don’t like odd lots, ifre. would just as leave mix a few drops l| of the best black ink in a tab of artesian water, as to mix these odd lots, desirable as they are, with the new lines we are marking up. Its a question of convenience with ns os much as price—you ought to see these goods. Say, did you know that Butler & Berry were going to keep a full line of stoves this fall, it’s a fact indeed.
