Dr. w. O RaeaelTi "Pharmacy*' Haa Be come an Iactltmion la the General Pro- rree. of the Place—A Neat Place of Baal- arse and a Well Amorted Sleek. * Mr. Tbps. J.Kenny, representing the owners Pf tbe Amerlcna Street Railroad, arrived in Amerien* late but night Mayor Felder eras advised of his com ing late yesterday afternoon. It will be remembered that last week when Mr. Kenny left Amerlcna he stated . in Tan TimxbRxcordkk that he wanted additional subscriptions to amount al- ready subscribed, and he is back here to - close the arrangements in order that he may wire bis parties the very best offer that can bo made by the people of Americus. So far Mr. Kenny feels greatly encour aged by what has been done and let us now make one grand effort and give him the additional amount * His presence here now must convince everybody that the owners of the pro|>- erty mean business. From this it would seem thst at last there is something tangible and definite as regards this much discussed question, and the people can see exactly the post tlon in which it stands. Fifteen-hun dred dollars more of guaranteed ticket purchases assure us of the road’s opera tion, and It should be raised witbin six hours.'- There were many who did not before care to subscribe until they were sure of the ultimate result of the negotia tions. If our people can raise the required addition to the amount already subacri- bed it is believed the owners will take steps to clear up the track and place the necessary new rolling stock, and then will put on a fifteen-minute schedule over the electric belt line. There baa already been so much said In these columns regarding the vital lm- portance of this matter that any further urging seems almost superfluous. . It is to be hoped and is almost certain that our business men will respond promptly to this new call to be made upon their spirit of progresslreness and public enterprise, and sixty days benoe the cars will be running as if there had been no break in their traffic. The Bottom of the Sea. “The Bottom of the Sea,” a marine spectacle adapted from the French by William A. Brady, will be produoed at the opera bouse next Tuesday night, Ootober 18. Coming as it does direct from its New York and Boston presen tations the piece Is to be mounted In the tame manner that characterised its suc cess in those cities. From all accounts the toenlc and mechanical effects are really superb. II Is, In fact, on reallstio scenery thst the success of the play de pends. The piece de resistance Is the scene showing the bottom of the sea, with divers at work in the wreck of a sunken ship. The battle between one of the divers and a gigantic devil fish Is very realistic. The other scenes are the rescue in mid-ocean and the deck of the French man-of-war. The events oentre about the laying of a West India cable by a young French engineer, assilted by an American engi neer. Both love the former's oonaln and this leads to the trouble. ▲ rascally Greek tries to kill the French engineer at the bottom of the sea, and the Ameri can engineer is arrested for tbe murder. The supposed dead man, however, turns np alive and saves tbe accused man. The Greek Is killed la attempting to escape and all ends happily. One of the cleanest, handsomest busi ness bouses in the city Is “The Phar macy" Of Dr. W. C. Russell, at tbe cor ner of Forsyth street and Cotton avenne and although not Immense In measure ment It contains probably one of the best assorted stocks in Georgia, of drugs, medicines, toilet goods, and pro prietary articles of all kinds. The dis play of novelties in plush and cut glass is something to gladden the aesthetic eye, and the smile of the genial “Doc” is a discount of at least 40 per cent, from the price marked upon bis goods. Being one of tbe most thoroughly informed pharmacists In the state his prescrip tion business has grown to large propor tions, and bis patrons in that line know that Implicit reliance may be placed upon tbe faithful performance of tbe physician's directions. This department Is under the personal supervision of Dr. Russell himself, and to this fact is owing tbe magnitude which it has attained. The assortment of patent and proprietary medicines contained at “The Pharmacy” Is one both varied and complete, the proprietor priding himself upon the fact, of never allowing his stock to run low. To the lover of the weed “Tbe Phar macy" offers peculiar attractions at the cigar counter, and tbe excellence of the brands handled ia fully evidenced by tbe class of regular customers, who, knowing a good smoke when they see it, drop in daily for their post-prandial cigar. Taken as a whole, In neatness, cleanli ness and solicitous attention to custom ers, “The Pharmacy” has few equals and no superiors, while its popularity and reputation for general trustworthi ness is unsupaseed. And Russell, himself, is always on deck, and though slightly discomposed from his recent encounter with the de ceptive and deadly “unloaded postol,” he Is rapidly recovering from the pain ful accident resulting therefrom, and the genial smile and witty repartee again gladden the hearts of his numer ous friends who love so well to drop in after supper and on Sunday afternoons. Truly, “age cannot wither, or custom stale his Infinite variety.” The laud of Milk and Boner. A number of the legal luminaries of the Americus bar are spending this week attending Webster court, and they are having a good time, from all ac counts. It seems that the judge and a brilliant member from Sumter - are get ting all the milk, while the reet of the fraternity are drinking “only water.' That's what oomee of a county being divided on tbe milk question. Nodes to Stockholders.

Axslxt, The Confectioner. The board of county commissioners yesterday closed tbe contract for tbe new jail, with cells and fixtures com plete, for tbe sum of $72,600. Tbe con tract was awarded to tbe Pauley Jail Ball- din g* Manufacturing Co. of St Louts, Mo., and specifies tbe entire construction and completion of the edifice according to the plans prepared by Mr. U. L. Norr- mann, tbe eminent Atlanta architect, who superintends the erection. Tbe successful bidders received the award of contract over nlue other com petitors, and they bear a national repu tation as a firm of integrity and fairj dealing. The fact that Vorrman Is the architect insures to the county a jail complete in every respect, and the fact is greatly to the credit of those in authority that every precaution for ttie health of the prisoners has been taken In the way of sanitary plumbing and ventilation, and when completed, if such an institution can be a source of pride, Sumter county’s new jail will be, as is tbe court house, a credit to her people. It will be erected back of the space between the city ball and county court bouse. The board of county commissioners erected for our prople a court house which is a pride to the sta .e, and the new jail will be entirely in keeping with the ornate and substantial style of archi tecture heretofore displayed in our pub- lio buildings.
