THE STREET RAILWAY
ITS RESUMPTION ALMOST ACCOM
PLISHED.
By the Display of a Uttl. Further Effort
on the Pv» of tb. People w. Can Ban
It—IU Vital Importune to War Basln.u
Interest!.
Mr. Thos. F. Kenny, the representa
tive of the Boaton owner ot the street
railway plant, leavea to-day for hli
borne, and It resta with the people
whether or not he carries baek with
him the aiauranco that Americus la
both able and willing to co-operate wlcb
the owner In running the street cart.
In Saturday'iiaaue of Tux Timkk-Ue-
cordeh was published an interview
with Mr. Kenny, in which it will be re
membered he stated that in addition to
the $2,000 Incorporated In the commit
tee's proposition the owner required
an assurance of the purchase of
$3,000 more In tickets for the first year,
and that whan this necessary amount
should be subscribed the operation of
the road would then be n settled thing.
Since the publication of these facts, a
committee has called upon our citizens
in earnest endeavor to secure the re
quired guarantee, and so effective have
been their effort* that the greater por
tion of it has been accomplished, and I)
only remains for our business men to
put their shoulders to the wheel and by
a concerted action bring the negotiations
to a successful conclusion.
It in true that some may probably be
called upon to obligate themselves to
take more tickets than they will use
daring the prescribed time, but it is
only for one year, and even to those who
do not own city property along the line
the Indirect benefit nooning to the real
estate and business interest* of Ameri
cus wHl make of their small outlay a
good investment
The importance of reeumption of
traffic on this line cannot be over-esti
mated, nor can the damage which will
eurely result from apathy displayed at
this Critical time be calculated, and Tux
Thies-Rkcorder would urge upon our
people the vital necessity of taking ad
vantage of this opportunity. Let every
man who can contribute something to
this, thoWue of onr common good and
Jhe will flad that Itt will prove, indeed,
‘■bread cast upon the waters."
From the time of its suspension The
Ti u>:--Rbcoiu>eu has endeavored to im
press its waders with an Idea of the
vastly ImyoMant place the etreet railway
occupiajEkis factor In the prosperity
of Americas, end it bee -with a
frequency, verging • . upon -the
ret'l
ction .light betaken whereby this no-
cesslty might be restored to the publle;
and now that It la within our grasp, let
us by a pull, a strong pull and a pull
altogether (even though It may cause ue
a little temporary Inconvenience) close
the contract with tho owners, through
which our real estate valuations will be
greatly enhanced and our general Inter
ests augmented beyond calculation.
And just here let ue give praise to the
young men of tho city who, In their
shrewd recognition of benefits which
must inevitably result from a successful
termination to the matter, came forward
and subscribed with noble liberality.
We inadvertently stated in our lesue
of Sunday that the reserved seats for
the performance of “A Barrel of Money”
were on sale at the etore of Messra. Alii'

has been opened st the new jew.lry
etore of Messrs. Thompson A Andeison
next door to Allison A Aycook, in tho
Hotel Windsor. ' Call oarly and seeuro
your seats before the rush.
The School..
Prof. Blzlen informs us that the pub
lic schools opened last Monday with an
enrollment of 1,412 pupils, against about
1,225 hut year, and ho fuels confident of
a total enrollment of 1,600 before the
end of the session. And by way of pa
renthesis let ue remark that in educa
tional advantages Americus is excelled
by no city in Georgia. This is prov
en by the excellent stand taken by grad
uates from the high school here in the
different male and female colleges over
the country. Prof. Blzlen is ably
slated by a competent corps of instruct
ors, and a student when graduated in
the full course prescribed at this school
has then acquired more than the average
business education.

Bert Cunningham, a cloudy visage do
scendant of Ham, allowed bis alleged
facetious propensities to get him into
trouble the other day when he abstract
ed and hid six dozen eggs belonging to
Mr. R. F. Nehrtng, his employer. Mr.
Nebring bed been missing eggs for some
time, and having his suspicions he
marked these, all of which were fouad
In Bert’s possession. He was
tried before Judge Flisbury yes
terday morolog and when ar
raigned stated that he know that
the eggs were marked and that he just
took them to play a joke on Mr. Mohr-
lag, but, unfortunately for Bert, Judge
Pliebury either could not comprehend
the joke, or he thought practical joking
a pernicious habit which should be sum
marily dealt with, for he softly inform
ed him that his little comedy on this oc
casion was played to a pretty expensive
tune—820, or six mouth* on the chain-
gang, with an opportunity of mastering
the aesthetic art of making brick. The
trifling boy'* good old mother was in
the court room and joyfully paid 820 of
her hard-earned tarings to save him
from a deterred punishment.

In Onr Braes? Little Slater City.
Cokiiele, Ga., September 26.—The
most intereating entertainment which
the ladies of the Baptist church have
given the people of Cordele was the de

The subject for discussion wne

The exercises were begun by a beau
tiful recitation by Miss Ethel Shipp.
The music of the evening,furnished by
Mrs. J. E. D. Shipp, Mrs. J. W. Bivins
