THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 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 their
benefit in the way of novelties in
goods and revelations in low prices.
All things being now Ready fob
the Feast, the people of Americus
and the surrounding country are
invited to come. They are not ex
pected to have on their Wedding

Place whero the people must go
to be properly decked out for an
appearance, either at a feast or at
business; and nobody can have

Dressed Man always bears, until
after they have been to

TAKE, but go to Wheatley’s and
get yourself made solid.
The social festivities of the week were
ushered In with a matt brilliant recep
tion german tendered by the Americus
Club at their elegant rooms on Tuesday
evening last.
Elaborate preparations bad been going
on for several weeks. The club rooms
were newly fitted up and the result was
a scene brilliant and beautiful beyond
description. It was indeed natural and
appropriate that the club should give all
their courtesy and full handed hospitali
ty on this auspicious occasion the initial
entertainment in their spacious new
home, and never were club members
more gracious, never did maidens and
matrons don lovelier gowns or make
themselves more charming than on
Tuesday evening.
The ball room, with Its delightful
music discoursed by Kaler's orchestra,
was, ot course, the attraction to the
young people who cared for dancing,
and for those who did not, there was
enjoyment In delightful converse In the
oharmlpg drawing rooms.
At 10 o’clock the german was called
and gracefully led by Mr. Isom Cain.
The festivities were prolonged until a
late hour.
Uanv friends were present and looked
on with admiration and pleasure at this
coterie of love and beauty. It was a
notable occasion and the evening's hap
pening will be roost pleasantly recorded
In memory’s book by the following par
ticipants in the charming dance:

Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Hawkins.

lent, and the play great. Amerieus proud to send so able a representative
will ever greet the Private Secretary
with pleasure.
The next attraction for September
will be “A Barrel of Money.” It is
probable that the opera house managers
booked too much farce comedy for the
opening nights of the season, but that
will be forgotten in the strong attrac
tions which will follow later.
What about the musical club so
promisingly spoken of sometime since ?
There is no city in the region of the
south more capablo of organizing and
sustaining a superb amateur opera
company than is cultured Americus.
There Is better talent here than in any
Georgia city to bo sure. By all means
let us have the musical club.
Mrs. Madden of Atlanta proposes
favoring Americus at an early date with
one of her superb concerts. It is hoped
this will prove an inspiration to our ex
cellent musicians who will lose no time
in getting to work In earnest and per
fecting an organization.

The Leeton Whist Club is a social or
ganization noted for its pleasant enter
tainments. Bat it would seem each
meeting outrivals the last In point of
•lsganco and genuine hospitality.
The last of this pleasant series of
afternoon gatherings was held at the
residence of Mr*. H. C. Storey on Wednes
day, September 23.
From 3 o'clock until 5 the handsome
donble parlors of this beautiful home
contained a most oongenlal party of
ladles who Indulged in the scientific
game of whist Yes, silent whist. The
game was a progressive one to the win-
ners, and those who came out last
langbed best At 5 o’clock the rich che
nille portieres were drawn aside and the
guests were Invited to take seats around
the exquisitely arranged buffet table In
the prettiest of dining halls. The cen
terpiece was a miniature fruit garden,
from whloh every eholce specimen could
be plucked. The linen tapestry was of
the finest woave, and the luncheon serv
ice of china and silver was the admira
tion of all.
Two pretty young ladles, Misses Maud
Livingston and Jennie Stapleton, did
graceful service around this festive
board, and tbe delicious menu was all
the more tempting tendered by such fair
hands. Tbe souvenirs were novel
Ivory cards, upon which the name of
each guest was hand-painted in gold,
the work of the talented hostess.
Mrs. Storey received her guests in a
charming tea gown of aeru china silk,
and proved herself a queen of entertain-

College Personals.
Miss Em Prince and Misses Flora and
Charley Wheatley, three charming
society favorites, are attending the A.
F. Seminary In Staunton, Va., Miss Mary
Baldwin's celebrated school. These
young ladle* are taking a finishing
course, and will probably return to en-
joy the festivities of the holidays with
their many admirers.
to that cultured, solid institution
learning.
Mr. Howell Simmons, the gallant son
of Col. and Mrs. E. G. Simmons, is at
tending college In Cutlibert. This young
man scarcely needs any encomiums. His
reputation as a student is so well estah-
lisbed. He is a beautiful and graceful
speaker. This talent, coupled with this
wise head, it would seem specially fits
him for a lawyer. Americus is proud of
all such young men.
We are prepared to supply romp
ing and fun loving boys and girls with
the best shoes for the money.
Mr. James Taylor, one of our most
promising young men, has just entered
the State University in Athens where lie
will rank among the first morally and in
tellectually. Mr. Taylor has a special
talent for a journalist, and it is highly
probable that he will yet electrify the
public with bis facile pen.
Miss Jennie Stapleton, the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. George Stapleton, and
one of the recent graduates of the Amer
icas high school, left on yesterday for
LaGrange college. Miss Jennie Is one
of our brightest young ladies, and will
doubtless win honors In LaGrange.
Miss Maud Shepherd will win golden
opinions for herself at Wesleyan college,
in Macon. She will fully keep up the
standard to which all Americus girls as
pire.
Remember the place:
Thornton Wheatley's Corner.
Mrs. Storey's beautiful home with It*
pretty fnrnlshlnge was a gift from her
father, Major W. L. Glessner, and it Is a
treat alone to Inspect the many artistic
novelties, consisting of souvenir spoons,
gold and silver of the rarest workman
ship, beautiful etchings, books, and bric-
a-brac which Major Glessner has gath
ered during bis extensive travels.
The many guest* acknowledge recog
nition of the charming hostess of Leeton
Cottage for olt-repeated courtesies and
pronounce her entertainment Wednes
day afternoon an elaborate success,
Those present on this delightful occa
sion were:
Mrs. Flotard, Mesdsmes Eugene and
Charley Byrd, Mrs. Lane, Mrs. M. L.

Miss Sallle Lumpkin, the Interesting
sister of Col. Henry Lumpkin, will leave
thi* morning to enter college In Norfolk.
She will make a specialty of art, in
which branch she excels. Miss Lump
kin has had tbe highest enconiums from
her teachers, and her friends are de
lighted that her Improved health will
permit her return to school.
Miss Nannie Dodson, tho attractive
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Armstead Dod
son, leaves to-morrow morning to resume
her studies at tbe Southern Female col
lege in LaGrange.
Miss Lilia Johnson, the genial and tal
ented daughter of Col. and Mrs. Henry
Johnson, left during the week to resume
her dntiei In Mount de Sales Academy
in Macon. Miss Lilia’s specialty Is
music. She has won the medal offered
for excellence in this branch, and will
doubtless continue to take honora.
Misses Grille Winds- r, Mamie Dud
ley and Alllne Johnson will represent
Americus at the famous Lucy Cobb In
stitute, In Athens. The friends of these
young ladles will expect much from
them; thoy have talents of a superior
order. Miss Dudley is probably tbb
best young mathematician of her ago In
tbe state. She Is equally ns well up in
music, and Is possessed of a mind mas
culine In Its strength.
Miss Callle Windsor, even at her early
age, has given evidence of much genius,
and her talents as a composer and ar
tist are marked. She will spend some
time at Lucy Cobb, and finish her edu
cation In Europe. Her ability ranks
second only to her ambition.
The Tihes-Recordek takes special
interest in tlieso young students, for in
the education of the young lies
tho strongtb, safety and prosper
ity of a state. Tuelr success is
ultimately the city’s success. The
friends of these absent boys and girls
want to hear from them, and offer this
inducement: For the best descriptive
letter, subjeot,“My College Experience,”
a copy of this paper will be sent one
year gratis, and the prize letter will bo
published In The Timer-Recorder, ac
companied by the picture and biograph
