Yesterday afternoon Mr. Sim Glaze received a telegram from Montezuma announcing the death, at 1 o'clock, of Mr. B. H. Wilkinson, formerly of this place, after an illness of a month's duration with typhoid fever. The remains will be sent to Maddox Crossing to-day, and at 3 o'clock the funeral will take place at Benevolonce church, five miles from Amerlcus. Mr. Wilkinson was a young man of many line qualities and practiced law in Amerlcus some years before his removal to Montezuma, which took place about two years ago. He was held in high es teem by those who knew him, and his character and life were without blemish He was unmarried, but leaves several brothers to mourn his loss. It Is possible that Rev. Mr. Johnstone of the Methodist church of this city will conduct the funeral services. A Distinguished Visitor. Dr. R. S. Rust, vice-president of tho •Jnlon Central Life Insurance Company of Cincinnati is in the city, accompanied by Mr. T. S. Lowry, manager of the company for this department. These gentlemen are here for the purpose of looking into values of realty with a view to bringing the money of this sterling company into this state and section to develop the resources. Mr. J. J. Unites- ley has secured the general agency for the Union Central and for him a pros perous business is beyond peradven- tnre. The Chattahoochee Bridge. Reports from the Chattahoochee bridge state that It is virtually finished, and that to-day or to-morrow the first engine will cross the river over the new structure. The road will be completed entirely and the link welded that is to bind Montgomery and Amerlcus to gether within tho next few weeks, and the day the first train goes through will be a big one for Amerlcus and the Sam road.

The second attraction of the season, “Keep It Dark,” drew a good audience at Glover's Opera House last night. The farce is full of fun and keeps the audience in a fit of laughter all the way through. The situations are excruciat ingly comical, the songs and dances good and the company first-class. Alto gether, It Is a good show. Mr. Bryant, as Vaseline, Is great and with Miss Richmond, as Clementine, caught the audience from the beginning. Mr. Bryant, Miss Richmond and Little Alice ought to be accorded a warm wel come anywhere. The support is very good. The only disagreeable feature about the night's entertainment was furnished by a portion of the audience; some peo ple will come in late. It had been promised that the curtain would rise at 8 o'clock sharp, but this was not the case. Possibly if the rale was strictly adhered to the late-comers would make an effort to be on time. ABOUND AND ABOUT. The case of Ortb Stein, America's champion all-around criminal, is excit ing a lot of interest in Georgia and the state press is teeming with a lot of maud lin sentiment about him. The Atlanta Constitution has taken the lead in the matter, and Is endeavoring to arouse the sympathies of the public in behalf of this slick artist, and Frank L. Stanton has even written a poem entitled “Hunt ed Down,” which, evidently Is dedicated to the man of many aliases, although that fact is cot stated. s • * Good men and women have let their compassion get the best of their com mon sense and arc endeavoring to smooth the way for the early release of this gllb-tongued criminal, who, accord ing to his own statement, “burnt all the bridges behind him” years ago and has led a life of crime ever since. Of course, now that he is locked up, he is very pen itent, and would lead a very different life if ho was a free man; all of which brings up that old saw; 'The Dovll was sick; the Dee it a monk would be— The Devil was well, hut devil a monk was Stein has had opportunity after op portunity to become a different man, but he has proven incorrigible. What bet ter opportunity could he have wished for than he had after escaping tho gal lows for tho murder of Fredericks? If he had any good In him bo would have shown it then. . • • • But he’s a tliok artlstl He knows how to t>l»y upon the human heart and his gift of gab has enabled'him, with the aid of the Constitution, to build up a mandlin sentiment in his behalf. He is not a novice In crime, by any means; on the other hand he Is an educated criminal who has been schooled in nearly every branch of crime from murder, up and down. s a a However, ho Is an educated man of the world and what’s moro a good news paper man and he knows oxactly how to reach the hearts of tho great and Inno cent publio, despite his criminal carocr. He has succeed in bis efforts—more’s the pity—and the heart of tho readers of tho press, In Georgia, are bleeding for the “poor bunted penitent, who only wants one more chance." Bah! as* Instead of wasting their sympathies on such a professional criminal, why don't the good men and women of Geor gia give their attention to some of the poor fel|ows who are now serving sen tences in the state penitentiary for com mitting only one crime ? Isn't it pos •iblo that there aro young men In state’s prison, to-day, who would mend their future lives far more effectually and permanently thou would Stein, If they bad the opportunity ? Take young Danforth, who slow the man who bad the audacity to make him a vile proposition about his sister. That was Danfoi^li's first crime, if it can be called a crime, and it Is certain that he would lead a peaceful, Industrious life if be were again in the home circle that was so rudely broken. IVhy don't somo of these good people interest themselves In him and froe his limbs from the clank tng chains that he wears for his sitter’s honor? * s s There are Georgians in the peniten tiary who neet all tho sympathy Geor gians can give r.nd there’s not much use In wasting It on Stein alias numerous other namos. * * * But then—this Is a funny world!

Devil. Cotton was a little lower yesterday. The Catholic church is rapidly nearing completion. There were only two cases tried in police court yesterday. The cotton receipt* at the warehouses were 400 bales yesterday. The work of numbering the houses in Amerlcus is being pushed rapidly. Cotton roceipts were light yesterday, and the visitors' list was a short one. There is some talk of organizing a gun club in Amerlcus at an early date. Yesterday was one of the dullest day’s Amerlcus has experienced in a long time. The real cstatu men are smiling again —the market ha« begun to resume ac tivity. Merchants are complaining greatly about tho scarcity of small change in Amerlcus. Amerlcus has more graceful eques triennes than any city of its size in Geor gia and the ladies ride “early and often.” Warehousemen expect a great deal of cotton to-day and to-morrow, as the weather has been so favorable to picking all the week. The song of the saw and the sound of the hammer are heard in the land, and improvements are tho order of the day in Amerlcus. Said a stranger yesterday: “There is less drunkenness seen on the streets of Amerlcus than in any other town of its sizo in the stale.” Loranna Williams, the nurse who stole Mrs. Johnson’s jewels, was tried before Judge Pilsbury yesterday morning, but sentence was reserved. Tho Windsor attracts the attention of every stranger coming into Americus, and, If it could do so, tho handsome building would blush often at the com pliments paid It.

The real estate market in Americus be gins tho wiDter season with good prices and a strong demand.

The prices asked and offered aro genu ine sale prices, without a tinge of specu lation about thorn, and real estate men gay that tho market this winter will bo an unusually live and active one. Renters are also making numerous in quiries for business houses as well ns residences, and an intlux of new people and capital Is expected this winter, thus giving an Impetus to tho circulation of busiucss prosperity.
