THE AMER1CUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDE& SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 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 whnt had been done for tneir
benefit in the way ot novelties in
goods and revelations in low prices.
All things being now Ready for
the Feast, the people of Americas
and the surrounding country are
invited to come. They are not ex
pected to have on their Weddiko
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 cnn have
the trade mark that a Perfectly
Dressed Man always bears, until
after they have been to
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
A VERY INTERESTING BUOGET OF
IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
Secretary Foster's Plan for Furnishing
Fractional Currency—Attorney General
Miller Acknowledge* HI* Coming Retire
ment From the Cabinet.
Thornton fnsatloy’s
and have been supplied with
Letters Patent op Elegance !
By that establishment.
The Times-Recorder isn’t half
Bio ENeHon to hold even a cat
alogue of the Elegant Goods, and
the Super-Eleoantly Low Prices
attached.
Only the general heads can here
be outlined ; the truo inwardness
of the feast can’t bo 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’
CLOTHING!
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: SorivenV Patent
Elastic Seam Drawers, and the
Cosmopolitan Shirts in suits or in
separate garments, FROM THE
VERY CHEAPEST TO THE
VERY F1NE8T.
A handsomer line of DRESS
SHIRTS. TIES, SCARFS AND
HANDKERCHIEFS was never
seen in Americus. 1
Fast Blk. Hose, ABSOLUTELY STAIN
LESS, ONLY 25c PER PAIR.
KID GLOVES,
Dressed and undressed; all colors,
grades and prices.
ATTENTION MOTHERS!
Boys' Shirt Waists, 3Sc to $1.25.
Boys’ Jersey Suits, 3 to 8 years.
Boys’ Clothing in all styles and
prices.
UMBRELLAS enough to stand
off a CLOUD-BURST!
Satchels and Bags enough to
hold all the elegant goods at
Wheatley’s that you will need when
you go abroad and want to present
a first-class and stylish appearance
Every Long, Lean, Fat, Short,
Big, Little Man in a dozen coun
ties can get JU8T THE FIT in
the odd sizes and lengths stock
that is carried at
Thornton Wheatley’s.
LIFE WILL BE A BURDEN
to all who spend their money olse-
where, and nnd when too late that
they missed getting tho choicest
ana best bargains in the neatest
nnd most stylish goods ever
brought to this market.
DON’T MAKE SUCH A MIS
TAKE, but go to Wheatley’s, and
get yourself made solid.
Remember the place:
Thornton Wheatley’s Corner.
So-called because you can get a
“corner” for the smallest cash con
sideration, upon the largest, cheap
est and finest goods ever shown in
Americus.
Yours for business,
THORNTON WHEATLEY.

Washington, September Id.—Secre
tary Foster, as shown by bis latest more,
is getting down to small change expedi
enta in his efforts to get the money to
meet the demands being made upon the
treasury. Although be counts the
fractional silver coin in the treasury as
part of his available caah balance, no
body knows better than he that this
money la not a legal tender, except In
small auma, and he bad the United
Statea trestorer prepare and tend out
circular stating that banks and other
Unsocial institutions and alao postoffices
will bo furnished fractional allvor in
sums of $200 or more by express free of
charge, or by registered mail in sums or
multiples of $00. This is a rather costly
method of getting the eighteen or nine
teen million dollars of fractional silver
into circulation, but the money is of no
use to the treasury now, except to swell
on paper the total “available" cash on
hand, and he probably realizes that
something must be done, as already
about half of the four-and-a-half per
cent bonds have been presented for re
demption, although it is but little more
than two weeks since they became due.
Mr. Harrison is finding his tussle with
the big men of his party over the dis
tribution of the rich plums now at his
disposal, a far more difficult undertak
ing than at the beginning of his admin
istration, as every enemy made now will
count in the nominating convention
next year. It is stated that Attorney
General Miller lias been compelled in
self defense to acknowledge to an In-
diaua republican that the rumor of his
retiring from the cahlnot to accept a
place on tho now circuit court bench
was true. Tho man wanted the appoint
ment himself, and asked Miller for his
support.
After this tho republicans arc not to
liavo it all their own way in Ohio, as
they havo seemed to do for awhile Bince
their campaign has been in full blast
and their speakors have been industri
ously pushing asido the tariff question.
Bat now all this Is to bo changed and
the democratic campaign, just opened,
Is to be made an aggressiva ono. Mills,
who makes his first speech in that state
to-morrow, will be followed by repre
sentatives Crisp, McMillan, Hynum,
Hatch, and other members of the house,
all loaded to the muzzle with facts con
cerning the billion dollar oongresa and
the Iniquitous tariff, that la dally mak
ing the poor poorer for the benefit of
certain favored elasaes.
Secretary Tracy baa been trying to ex
plain why It la that only old and sorn-
out wooden vessels are in the Asiatic
squadron which Is supposed to take care
of American interests in China. Ills
explanation Is just about as satisfactory
as those made by other members of the
cabinet about certain other queer things.
Naval officers know why our new Iron
clads have boon doing tho seaside sum
mer resorts while the old wooden vessels
have made the United States the laugh
ing-stock of the naval officers of other
powers which have first-class vessels In
Chinese waters. It Is Ibecauso the offi
cers on tho now vessels all have a“pull,“
and they do not regard assignments to
the Aatatlo squadron as desirable.
The Virginia republicans appear to be
very much in earnest in their fight
against cx-Senator Maliono and ills
scheme of throwing the republican votes
to farmer*’ alliance candidates for the
legislature this year. A meeting at
which seventeen counties were repre
sented was held in Washington this
week, and a call for a mass convention,
to be held at Roanoke on October 1, has
been issued. That convention will, If It
follows tue programme arranged by the
anti-Malioneitcs, depose Mahons from
the state chairmanship, and name a com
mittee of one hundred, or n lesser num
ber, which shall have [exclusive control
of tbo party Interests in the present
campaign.
Ex-I’resident Clements, of Georgia, is
believed to have the Inside track for ap
pointment to the Inter-State Commerce
Commission to succeed tile lato W. I..
Bragg, of Alabama. Mr. Clements made
many personal friends In Washington
whllo a member of the house sub-com
mittee on appropriations for the District
of Colombia.
The newspapers that praised Secre
tary Foster for his stand against nepot
ism, In refusing to sanction the appoint
ment of tho tons of Assistant Secretary
Crouse and Treasurer Nebeker to ho
their fatliers';private secretaries, were a
little promature, as both appointments
have been made.
Secretary Foster lias promised the
high commissioners of England and Ger
many that all tariff restrictions upon
the Importation of foreign goods Intend
ed for exhibition at the World’s Fair,
shall be removed, either by a depart
mental ruling or by special acts of con
gress
Something to Please the ladles.
The Avera Grocery Company has this
day originated a new idea in advertising.
Something that will not only advertise
their magnificent stock of fine goods,
but will also be of benefit to the puhlio
generally. Ladies are troubled a great
deal about what to cook. How often do
you hear the expression, “Oh, I don’t
know what to have for dinner or sup
per,” as the case may be. This accom

every day a new receipt for a good

will be published every dsy, and the
goods to fill these will always be on
