6 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. Miwu«-tBur»4wkl7*-14-l7 ' il - 1 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.
