6 THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 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 tneir benefit in the way of novelties in goods and revelations in low prices. All things being now Ready for the Feast, the people of Americns 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; and nobody can have the trade mark that a Perfectly Dressed Man always bears, until after they have been to RAILROAD RUMBLINGS. A DISTINGUISHED PARTY OF RAIL ROAD MEN VISIT AMERICUS.

Johnson, who lives at the corner of Jackson and Church streets, at nuree. She ia now locked up charged with stealing Mrs. Johnson's watch and a slot of jew els and silverware. It seems that last Sunday, while all of the family were away the little girl "wont through" Mrs. Johnson's apart ments and secured the watch and a rot- Yestorday afternoon at 3:0.1 o'clock, one of the handsomest special trains that e ver came to Americas rolled into the Central depot. It consisted of four splendid coaches and tho passengers were distinguished ... ...... railroan men, connected with the Rich- lc ^ “ C „ h .V„ e mood A Danville road and the Central system, who were going over the road for the pnrpose of looking after Its in terests. The party consisted of the following gentlemen: Major W. H. Green, general manager, Richmond A Danville; V. K. McDee, general superintendent Central system; Sol Haas, general freight agent, Richmond A Danville; J. M. Culp, as sistant general freight agent, Richmond The Times-Recorder isn't half big ExerGH to hold even a cat alogue of the Elegant Goods, and the Sr per-Elegantly Low Prices attached. Only the general heads can hero be outlined ; tho true inwardness of the feast can’t bo understood until the guests go through the whole Bill of Faro in person at Wheatley’s. No such complete and elegant stock of Gentlemen's, Youths’ and Boy.' has ever been brought to Americus and tho 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.

Whitehead, general freight agent, Central system, D D. Curran, superintendent South western division; S. II. Hardwick, as sistant general passenger agent and several atiier prominent railroad men. As soon as the arrival of the distin guished party was known, Mr. U. B. Ilarrold sent a pressing invitation ask ing that tho gentlemen would become his guests while in the city, which was accepted without hesitation. Handsome turnouts were quickly provided, and for an hour the party was driven through the prettiest streets of Americus and all its many advantages were thoroughly explained to them. The guests had much to sny of'Ameri- cus, in a complimentary way and what most struck them were the numerous new business blocks and handsomo resi dences that stand as monuments to tho grit, energy and prosperity of Ameri cus. At 3 o’clock tho train pulled out bear ing tho party, and every member of it expressed the regret that business pre vented a longer stay in so pleasant a town. Tho object of tlio inspecting party is to look Into the passenger and freight ac- commodations along tho line, so that all needed improvements can ho made, and further, to see what can bo done nbout moving this season's cotton with the rapidity so much desired. It Is safo to say that improvements all along the line will follow tnis tour of inspection, and that overy facility for handling passen gers and freight will be provided. Tho party camo directly hero from Macon, and left for Albany, wbero they will also look carefully over tho grohnd. ’ There is no doubt but that tbit visit will be worth a great doal to Americus, for the gentlemen now tee and know per sonally the greatest needs of Ameri cas, so far as their line Is concerned, and of course eveerything will be done to Improve the accommodations in Americus. The gentlemen who accompanied the party on the ride wero Messrs. W. M Hitt, R. T. Johnson and C. W. Lamar, and they aided In every possible way to make the occasion an enjoyable and a profitable one for Americus. Americus is pretty certain to hear from yesterday's visit, for tho railroad men aie well pleased beyond expression with the city and its possibilities. On Monday the things were missed and a search was instituted, which re sulted in the finding of the reticule with its contents unbar ned,'in a box under the house. The girl was taxed with the theft and she acknowledged it, saying she bad the watch at home She was turned over to the police and was taken to her mother's home to recover the watch, but when she reached there she found that the watch was missing from the box in which she had placed it. An Investigation failed to find tho watch, and the girl was locked up on a warrant charging her with larceny from the house. She will be tried this morning before Judge Pilsbury, and it is hoped that tho watch will be forthcoming or its hiding place disclosed.

Hero's a good story to|d on a popular society man of Americus, and tho best part of it is that Iig tolls it himself! t Said he to tho group about him: "Did you folks over hear how I was arrested, charged with burglary?” ... In a moment everybody was urging him to tell of his adventure, and al though one or two in the group wero disposed to make such remarks as, “lie looks like a hardened criminal” or “that face would give him away anywhere,” etc., the yanng man, who is really good looking, began his story. Said ho: "Not many years ago, I was employed in the government service and my position compelled me to wear a uniform—so much by way of prefaco. One night I reached Washington after a short absence, and as there was a par ticular attraction at one of the theaters, I determined to go directly thither from the depot. It was bitter cold, and I dis covered, as tho train disappeared, that I had left my overcoat in it. I knew tho baggage master at the dopot very well so I stopped in and asked him for an overcoat."
