The Crowd In the Cltj Immense, Good Nil* fared aud Impecunious—The Police Head quarters Bnsj With Unimportant Ca Business Brisk* AN8LEY. Wholesaler* and Retailer* of hlgh-cl*«* Dry Good* at popular price*. On yesterday the crowd on the streets was not os large as is usually seen on the date of a circus performance, but every one seemed in a good humor and some, Indeed, bad absorbed of the fluid of fun to such an extent that they lost their good humor and became belligerent, and that point the police took a hand and succeeded in effectually curbing the pugnacious demonstrations. A number of complaints were lodged at the police headquarters to the etfect that the complainants had been robbed by “fakirs” at the grounds of Iientz A ,t Co.’s circus, the amounts running all the way from ten to one hundred dol lars. Investigation, however, proved that In every case those who had had money taken from them deserved their loss through their gullability. In the wake of every large show there follows a crowd of sharpers, for the misdeeds of whom the show cannot be held responsible. To a great mary ignorant people the occasion of a circus is one of supreme moment, to whom the clown is a being of excruciating fun, and the bespangled equestriennes beings from another and enchanted world, while the trapeze per formers. and] acrobatic feats fill them with breathless awe. These people would lose tlieii very heads if nature had not furnished for that anatomical mem ber a secure fastening, and a slight les son, such as was tadght them yesterday when thoy undertook to boat the profes sional crook.at Ids own game, will prove moro beneficial than otherwise. One young man bewailed the fact that ho had been offered his choice between two boxes, at the price of $05, one of which held $75 cash and the other a gold watch valued at $100. lie paid and chose the box containing the watch. The value of the timepieco was probably intrinsically 25 cents, though as a sal utary lesson it is invaluable to any one who has so little gumptioa as to be taken in by *o threadbare a trick. Yet, as has been before said Rentz and Company’s show is entirely apart from these crooks and cannot possibly pre vent their following. Director's Meeting.

Rentz A Co.’s show yesterday, while possibly not In the aggregate as large us Barnum’s or Forepaugh’s was one ol.' much merit. In the first place the two young obll- drenwho gave a trapeze performance whloh was well worthy ol old and tried professionals, were in themselves and their exhibition a good return for the low price ol admission. The utter and oomplete fearlessness which they, little ten year old boy and girl tots, displayed when suspended in mid air was mar vellous when considering their Infancy. The tumbling, horse and chariot racing was also above the average, and the usual concert embraces many pleas Ing novelties. The audience vu of a very good char acter, many of the best people of the elty In attendance and all going away well pleased. A Few Facie.

Last week The Times-Recobdkr pub lished a notice of the appointment of a committee relative to the proposed re union of tbe 12th Georgia Regiment, and yesterday received the following letter: Cuthbebt, Ga., November 7.—Editor Tdou-Rrcordeb—I see In your weekly Issue of November 6th that Messrs.

(Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potastlum. An Example Worthy of Emulation. The Chicago National Ilotel Reporter publishes the following, in connection with the Piney Woods Hotel of Tliomas- ville: “Mr. F. A. Budlong, principal clerk of the celebrated Piney Woods notel at Tbomasville, Ga., arrived in Chicago Monday evening and has secured apart ments at the Auditorium Hotel, where he will remain throughout the month of November. Mr. Budlong was here last year and made numerous engagements with Chicagoans, Thomasville aud tbe Piney Woods Hotel being specially pop ular with the people of this city. This year the hotel will he opened Wednes day, December 2." The Piney Woods Hotel in Thomas ville is a good house aud is proably run in a modern hotel manner, but in point of style, location and equipments it cannot compare with our new Hotel Windsor, and although the management of the Piney Woods may be all that could he desired, there can exist no doubt but that the extensive and judicious adver tising in which it indulges has had more to do with its growth than any other in fluence which can be named, and it is tbe same way with the town in which it Is loca^d. While the tone of the cli mate thereabouts is undoubtedly healthy there are many places in Georgia which aro just as healthy, and which can show probably even a lower record of mortality. Amerlcus for instance, and let the Ilotel Windsor tako a leaf out of the Piney Woods Hotel book,and thero is little question but that the Northern and Western travel Southward will, in some measure, mako of this a stopping place. The following is from the Thomasville Times-Entorprise and tells its own talo: Mr. It, W. Giadlng of the Monon Route has just returned from a trip through Florida. Mr. Giadlng says that Northern people aro going into Florida with a rush. Fully twice as many aro coming South now as at the same time during any previous season. The hotel keepers and everybody in Florida are wearing smiling faces over tile splendid prospects for tbe biggest season in the history of the state.” THE BREAKFAST TABLE ITEMS OF INTEREST SPECIALLY PRE PARED FOR HASTY READERS.

Littlejohn and J. W. Bivins and Dr. G. W. Sblpp of this elty will discuu the subtressury bill with three young men from Vienna, at Shipp’s opera house. Our young men will take the stand that tbe enactment of suob a bill would be an Injury to the country. The debate will be given nnder the auspice* of tbe Ladlea’ Aid Society of the Bap tist church of Cordele. It will be a very Intonating occasion, as tbe speakers are all good ones. Amerlcus would do well to come down to attend the debate, as there will be no end of fun. FEMININE FANCIES. Mra. Mackey now owns the famous ball dress made for tho Empress Eugenie. It cost $10,000.

El- <) ridge. This will be one of the most important social events of the season. Invitations were issued Sunday to many of the young lady friends of the members to come to the Americus Club rooms and look at the circus procession. They came, and after partaking of some light confections given by the club a morning german was held, with Mr. Ice Cain as leader. Although the hour was unusual the affair was immensely enjoy ed by the participants. The fact that we aro making Cabinet Photographs for $2.50 per dozen is con elusive evidence that you have formerly paid an evtravagaot price for pictures. “A hint to the wise is sufficient.” Pat ronize the people who had enterprise enough to reduce the prices. IIai.ky & Phillips, Gallery Next Door to Davenport Drug Company. “What a day we’ve been ’aving.” Dickon's inimitable language from one of hls humble heroes was very applica ble to the party who attended the morn ing german and afternoon and evening performances of the circus yesterday. Tho whole business had to bo taken in and most effectually was it done. Tbe crowd had determined to enjoy them solves and would have done so whether the show was worth seeing or not. There has been some adverse comment concerning the increase in the price of parquet seats for “Poor Jonathan” to night, but when it is considered that the Conried Opera Company has played in Atlanta, Chattanooga, and all the large towns at even more, and that tbe mana gers of the opera bouse are bound by a contract to play tbe troupe at prices ranging from $1.50 down, It will be seen that $1.25 la not exhorbltant, especially as the opera as rendered by Conried Is one of peculiar excellence.

Frogs, toads and aerpents never take food but that which they are satisfied is alive. Tbe grip of an ant’s jaw is retained even after the body has been bitten off and nothing but the bead remains. Tbe jewflsb or tarpon rises to the sur face every few minutes to breathe, and it has an air bladder eighteen lnebre long.
