6 THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: TUESDAY OCTOBER 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 wlmt had been done for their benefit in the way of novelties in goods and revelations in low prices. AT tHngfc being now Ready _ r on THE rV.ST,the people of Ameri.as and the surrounding country are invited to come. They are not ex pected to have on their WEDD1NO Gad.he.vts, for Wheatley’s is the Place where the people must go to be property decked out for an appearance, either at a feast or at business; and nobody can have the trade mark that n Perfectly Dressed Man always bears, until after they have been to ihornton Mey’s and have been supplied with Letters Patent of Elegance ! iiy that establishment. The New Orleans River Front Continues Falling In. The Mississippi Encroaches Upon the City. The Times-Recorder isn’t half bio enough to hold even a cat alogue of the Elegant Goods, and the Super-Elegantly Low Prices attached. Only the general heads can here be outlined ; the true inwardness of the feast can’t be understood until the guests go through the whole Bill of Fare in person at Wheatley’s. No snch complete and' elegant stock of Centlemen’s, Youths’ and Boyi>’ has ever been brought to Americus and the MOST ASTONISHING THING about them is the LOW PRICES! HATS! Stiff and crushed, that CANNOT FAIL TO SUIT. A specialty in GENTLEMEN’S UNDERWEAR: Scriven’sPatent Elastic Seam Drawers, and the Cosmopolitan Shirts in snits or in separate garments, FROM THE VERY CHEAPEST TO THE VERY FINEST. A handsomer line of DRESS SHIRTS, TIES, SCARFS AND HANDKERCHIEFS was never seen in Americas. Fast Blk. Hose, ABSOLUTELY STAIN LESS. ONLY 25c PER PAIR. KID GLOVES, Dressed and undressed; all colors, grades and prices. ATTENTION MOTHERS! Boys’ Shirt Waists, 3.',c to $1.25. Boys’ Jersey Suits, 3 to 8 years. Boys’ Clothing in all styles and prices. UMBRELLAS enough to stand off a CLOUD-BURST! Satchels and Bags enough to hold all the elegant goods at Wheatley’s that you will need when you go abroad and want to present a first-class and stylish appearance Every Long, Lean, Fat, Short, Big, Little Man in a dozen coun ties can get JUST THE FIT in the odd sizes and lengths stock that is carried at Thornton Wheatley’s. LIFE WILL BE A BURDEN to all who spend their money else where, and find when too late that they missed gettiqg 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. Remember the place: Thornton Wheatley's Comer, So-called because you can get a ‘corner” for the smallest cash con sideration, upon the largest, cheap- ‘ ‘nest goods ever shown in joziiaa U'-jUittltr* TUff } >«JUS foma for buMness,' THORNTON WHEATLEY. The Sinking of Lund Along; the ltlver Front In New Orleans—Over Five Acre* In Rxtent—Louisville and Nashville llailroad Depot Abandoned—The Old French .Market, the Limit. New Orleans, Oct. 26.—The levee and wharf at the foot of St. Phillips, Du vane and West Saline streets con tinues to cave in, the land having sunk from three to eighteen feet, covering five acres in extent. The Louisville and Nashville railroad has abandoned its depot at the foot of Canal street and transferred its business to the Ponchar- train (Jejx»t because of the danger to its property. It looks as if all the land up to the French market would eventually go into the river. Chamberlain's Eye Pnnn Ointment.

The llHtkrutine Steadfast Goes Ashore on the Island of St. Croix* Philadelphia, Oct. 28.—A mirage in the Caribbean sea was the cause of the total loss of the new American barken- tino Steadfast, while bound from a port of Spain to Philadelphia with a cargo of street paving asphalt. She was wrecked several weeks ago, but the crew only recently reached here on their way home from the island of St. Croix, tho scene of the disaster. When the Steadfust sighted the lofty peaks of St. Croix, the atmosphere assumed a pecu liar light color, and it became imiwssi- hle to detect the sky from the island, everything assuming a similar shade and color resembling the cirro stratus clouds, hiding the entire lower portion If the island. The peaks and mountain tops appeared to be twenty miles away. The tops of the mountains seemed to be inverted, the tall cocoanuts appearing to grow from sky to earth. The sugar grinding mills were pouring their smoke downward and tho workmen working upside down. The Steadfast was kept under easy sail and perfect control. Everything went well until a grinding sound was heard and a sudden tremor went through the ship. The vessel crushed over the reefs and was soon fast oil tlie rocky shore, where her wreck still remains. The mirage made the island appear twenty miles away. INCARCERATED FOUR YEARS. Hune Brooklyn Woman Uelen.ed Triiiii un 111 .inis Asylum. New Yohk, Oct. 20.—Mrs. Bela Nan, wife of August Nan, a wealthy retired furniture dealer of Brooklyn, was re leased from the Long Island home a private insane asylum at Amityville, by order of Justice Cullen, of the su preme court, on the ground thut she had been illegally committed. The woman has been in the asylum for four yiitrs. She was sent there on the cer tificate of two physicians, who pro nounced her insane. Lawyer Albert Peck, on behalf of Mrs. Nun, alleged that she was perfectly sane, und that ■he was deprived of her liberty in order to enable uer husband to conduct him self as he pleused in certain respects. The court. after hearing all the testi mony and the story of Mrs. Nau, or dered her releuse. August Nan is well known in Brooklyn social and political circles. He was formerly a member of the Ann of Luug & Nun, who conduct ed an extensive business at the corner of Fulton and Clinton streots. School fur Colured Girls. Jackson, Miss., Oct. 2(1.— Miss Mary yoimes of Illinois, has notified the peo ple of Jackson that the committee Inis decided to locate the college she will endow at this place.
