6 THE AMER1CUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1891. THE RESULT, When it was recently announced that Thornton Wheatley’s usual pilgrimage had been made to the Eastern markets, the public waited to see in these columns, the report of what had been done for their benefit in the way of novelties in goods and revelations in low prices. All things being now Ready for the Feast, the people of Americus and the surrounding country are invited to come. They are not ex pected to have on their Wedding Garments, for Wheatley’s is the Place where the people must go to be properly decked out for an appearance, either at a feast or at business; aDd nobody can havo the trade mark that a Perfectly Dressed Man always bears, until after they have been to ikotoa May’s and have been supplied with Letters Patent of Elegance ! By that establishment. SORROWFUL SPECTACLE AN OLD CONFEDERATE VETERAN WITHOUT HOME OR KINDRED. On the Verge of the Grave, Alone and Pen niless—He Shed His Itlood on Slany a Bloody Field and Yet His Country Has No Refuse for Him. The Times-Recorder isn’t half big enough to hold even a cat aloguo of the Elegant Goods, and the Super-Elegantly Low Prices attached. Only the general heads can here be outlined ; the trne inwardness of the feast can’t be understood until the guests go through the whole Bill of Fare in person at Wheatley's. No such complete and elegant stock of Gentlemen's, Youths’ and Boys’ has ever been brought to Americus and the MOST ASTONISHING THING about them is the LOW PRICES! .HATS! Stiff and crushed, that CANNOT FAIL TO SUIT. A specialty in GENTLEMEN’S UNDERWEAR: Scriven’s Patent Elastic Seam Drawers, and the Cosmopolitan Shirts in suits or in separate garments, FROM THE VERY CHEAPEST TO THE VERY FINEST.

Yours for business, THORNTON WHEATLEY, annuts-thurjAwlclyS-lO-ly Yesterday there arrived in Americu. an old man bowed down with the weight of .eventy years and broken with the hardships of a life of trials. It was Mr. John Guyenton, who wore the grey for his country's sake, and who not only sacrificed his property for the cause, but offered up his wife and child upon the altar of patriotism. Mr. John Guyenton was a private in Co. G. 1st Virginia regiment of infantry, Col. Skinner commanding officer. Be served through the entire war, and when it was.ended, had not even his wife and child Toft him, for they were killed when Winchester was shelled. Without a relative In the world, he now finds himself nearing the river that Jackson crossed “to rest under the shade of the trees,” and bis poor old tottering limbs can scarcely bear the weight of bis frail frame. Be heard that there was a soldiers’ home in Atlanta, and be man aged to work his way thither, only to And that Georgia bad no place provided for those who had worn the gray! Shocked and dlrmayed he was forced to ask assistance to enable him to get back to his last place of residence—he could not call it home—In Thomasville where he has a few kind friends. Ho managed to get as far as Americus, and here alone and penniless he was found by some, who like himself, had worn worn the grey, but with whom fortune bad not dealt so unkindly. They took the old man in and smoothed the way for him to reach his friends in Thomas ville, where he has by this time ar rived. It was a pitiful thing to look npon the weak and Impoverished frame of him who had listened to the whistle of the minnie ball and the hiss of bullets an d the awful shriek of shell upon many a bloody field, and remember that a com fortable home for such as be, bad been absolutely refused by Georgia's legisla ture! “What mutt be his feeling," said one who saw him, “when he compares what he gave for his country with wbat his country has given him 7’ Oh! the pity of It! the pity of It! that men like him, men whose blood has died the very soil of the south a crimson hue, should limp and halt into a pau per’s grave, an object of personal char ity and a shame to the aontb!
