One of onr most popular young men has gone to the state of New York upon a most pleasent and joyful errand, and upon his return the number of fair young married ladies in Americus will be increased by one. The gonial ex-superintendent of the Savannah, Americus & Montgomery railway, W. X. Marshall, is one of the most remarkable fishermen on record, ne has been spending some weeks fishing in Canadian waters, and actually tells it that for the first few days ho never got a bite; but bought a string of fish to carry home. Was ever such a flail story heard of before. GETTING TO BASE. The Savannah, Americua A Montgomery Ztaltway In Montgomery. The Montgomery Advertiser of yester day contains tho following news of in- tercst to the people of Americus: “It is clearly evident that the S. A. M. read wants to get into the city, and that, too, as soon as possible. “AH arrangements for building a track from the main line at Cl I shy’a Park, Into the property of the road on Jefferson and Lawrence streets, have been com summated and the work of construction will commence right away. The track will intersect the M. A- £. road near the brewery. Near the intersection, another track will connect both roads, and tho S. A & M.’s passenger trains will enter the union depot over the M. ii £. tracks, until the former builds a line of its own, ‘Yesterday the L. A X. train brought up from Pensacola about fifty negro con struction hands, who will Immediately commence the work of grading the S. A. tS M. extension into the city." Huy your winter suits at Thornton Wheatley’s. Prices lower and and qual ities better than anywhere else in the city. Tuoiixtox Wiieati.ey. “The Private Secretary.” The performance of “The New Private Secretary” at the Academy of Music last night by the company under the manage, ment of Mr. £dwin Travis, was a well studied and satisfactory presentation This work of Mr. Wm. Gillette author of “Held by the Enemy,” "All the Com forts of Home,” “Mr. Wilkinson's Widows” and other equally successful plays, is one of the most popular come dies now upon the boards, as tbe excep tionally long run it had in Xow York and other cities demonstrates. Unllko the unwholesome productions of French writers, which have administered to a morbid and unduly stimulated taste which grows by what it feeds upon, the witnessing of “The Private Secretary” leaves no sting behind—no unpleasant after-taste. Tho whole cast of charac- tors is good and tho leading part, the Rev. Robert Spaulding, as performed by William Fairbanks, Harry Eytlnge as Cattermole, Edwin Travers as Douglass, Miss Bertha Livingston as Miss Ashford, Violet Black as Edith, and Nelly Whit ing as Miss Stead, was very ably done. Mr. Fairbanks was immensely funny an! the rounds of laughter and enthusiasm he provoked, proved his superior ability as an accor, and wo aro free to say a better has seldom appeared on the stage. —Daily Xews, Hagerstown. Condition of the Cotton. The general weather summary for tho cotton belt for last week, issued from the New Orleans office, says: The weather conditions in the cotton belt show a considerable deficiency through out, in precipitation, except over a few scattered points in North Carolina, northwestern Georgia, western Alabama and along the Texas coast. Tho drongbt in Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and western Tennessee and tho greater por tion of Texas still continues. The tem peratures wore generally below the nor mal, except in northern Louisiana, southwestern Arkansas and northern and central Texas, where an excess of from 2 to -4 degrees occurred.
