6 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 (Garments, for Wheatley's is the 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 the trade mark that a Perfectly Dressed Man always bears, until after they have been to SOCIETY’S DOINGS. SOCIAL EVENTSAND MOVEMENTS OF SOCIETY PEOPLE. Americus Club German—Leeton Whist Club Elegantly Entertained—At the Play. Musical Club—College Personals—In ducements to Students. 'Mu Waeatley’s and have been supplied with Letters Patent of Elegance By that establishment. The Times-Recorder isn’t half big ENeCGH to hold even a cat alogue of the Elegant Goods, and the Slter-Elegantly Low Prices attached. Only the general heads can here be outlined; the true inwardness of the feast can’t be understood until the gnests go through the whole Bill of Fare in person at Wheatley’s. No such complete and elegant stcck 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 crashed, that CANNOT FAIL TO SUIT. A specialty in GENTLEMEN’S UNDERWEAR: Scriven’s Patent Elastic Seam Drawers, and the Cosmopolitan Shirts in saita or in separate garments, FROM THE VERY CHEAPEST TO THE VERY FINEST.

LIFE WILL BE A BURDEN to all who spend thoir money else where, and find when too late that they missed getting the choicest and best bargains in the neatest and 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. 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. Bloom Brown. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Hawkins. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bivins. Miss Crowell with Joe Hightower. Miss Grace Burns with James Lanier. Miss Belle Shaw with Brown Burk- h alter. Miss Nannie Lou Hawkins with John Sheffield. Miss Hattie Windsor with H. G. My- rover. Miss Jennie Hollis With Walter Crisp. Miss Frances Belle with Lester |Wind- Wilson played the silly girls to perfec tion. And the Rev. Robert Spaulding looked hungry sure enough. In the order of merit Mr. Harry Brlosley, as Harry Marsland, deserves special mention, and Miss Livingston played the medium well Lee Institute, Tbomaston, Ga. tender age of thirteen years. Mr. Frank Harrold, the handsome son of the house of Harrold, leaves on Mon day for the University of the South at Suwanee, Tcnn. Frank was one of the honor hoys in his class In the Americus The supporting company was excel-1 high school last June. Americus is 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. Miss Sarah Cobb with E. A. Hawk ins, Jr. Messrs. W. K. Wheatley, A. R. El- drldge, Lynn Fort, Ice Cain, Olln Dixon, W. A. Antllottl, Chas. Adama, S. H. Hawkins, Jr. 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- Professor Kaler’s orchestra is a pleas ant feature of tho opera house entertain ments. This gentleman Is the finest in his profession, and Americus would bo only too glad to claim him as her own. 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.

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.
