THE AMERICUS DAILY TiMES-RECOh DER: THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 1», 1891. ADVERTISING BUREAU. A PROJECT THAT HAS TAKEN DEFIN ITE SHAPE Is Macon, and One that Should be Ac corded tha Warmest Approval bp the People of Amerleui—An Ad.ertl.ln* En- terprlee that will Pan Out Well. Macon la taking the liveliest interest in the new bureau of Information that will be established in her midst and will disseminate her advantages and Induce ments throughout the United States. The real estate men of Uacon have taken tbe bull by the borns and have gone to work armed tbe determination to push the new enterprise through to success. The project that Macon will perfect is for the thorough and clTeotlve advertis ing of her inducements to home-seekers and'investors and for the purpose of ac quainting them with her attractions aud advantages. The original and primary Idea is to establish a bureau in charge of some competent person, abundantly provided with every class of matter pertaining to ■ the city and section, with facts and fig ures, ■ to answer every inquiry or sub stantiate any claim made for the city. Other cities throughout the south have in successful operation bureaus of this kind, and send out descriptive matter concerning the inducements to emigra tion they have to offer and also in aiding and arranging for home-seekers who come south. Amertcus has every reason to form bureau of this description, In order to advertise to tbe outside world her ex ceptional advantages and Induce emi grants to pitch their lot among us. Such an enterprise could be started and fos tered by our real estate men who can rest assured that tbe mercantile classes will accord them their enthusiastic co operation. Who will be the pioneer in this direc tion and insure to Americus an agency in whose hands the city will have its at tractions and its many advantages ad vertised to the very best advantage? Katie Putnam Last Nlxbt. Katie Putnam can always depend on a good house when she* visits Uacon, as the audlonce at the Academy last night proves. Just exactly what it is about the little woman no one seoms to know. She is not a groat ectress. She is not superb or magnificent or thrilling or excrutlat- ingly funny, but she is petite, pretty and very “fetching.” She is an artful little ■thing, and at times, when the occasion / demands it, she breaks out into a power ful, passionate style of acting, so dlffer- ent from Katie Putnam that it is start ling and certainly most excellent She is surrounded this season by a fairly strong company, and one thing Is cer tain, tbe is the only soubrette whe has visited Maocn this season who can lay claim to any word of praise for their support The comedy role Is very finely filled, indeed —Uacon Telegraph.

And the necessity arises for a good and substantial foot covering, otherwise cold may be contracted and the deadly attack of pneumonia may ensue. At this time of the year the human anato my is peculiarly susceptible to atmos pheric influences, and there Is ho part of the frame which demands such thorough - protection as the feet, aqd there is no place at which such footwear can be pro cured as at Arthur Rylander’s, oorner Jackson and Lamar streets. For many years he hat made a specialty of shoes, and at present he carries a stock which Is beyond challenge. Of course umbrel las are needed in rainy weather, and in this line the purchaser can be suited, whatever may be the price lie wishes to pay. And hats! there is no end to his latest In Dunlap styles. Look for hit ad tomorrow. Several Promised Banks In Tbelr Incep tion—Old Ones Cbsnse Base, The organisation of new hpnks goes on throughout the state. Some of tbe smallest towns have fallen into line and are getting up capital for banks. It is also noticeable that other enterprises are being started, many of which demand considerable outlay, and augur increased and increasing prosperity.—Constitu tion. \ Americus can show up a full hand when the game of bank organization is called. There is unusudl activity in banking circles here and the new banks that will shortly be started is no incon siderable exponent of our solid commer cial prosperity. Several changes will occur in a few weeks in the location of the different banks. Clegg and Coney, who had rented the banking offices In the Hotel Windsor, have exchanged quarters with the People's National bank, who will take possession as soon as the hotel is complete. Mr. J. W. Sheffield's new bank will occupy room No. 412 on tiib north end of the Hotel Windsor. Messrs. Ueorge W. Council and W. K. Murphy, ex-cashier Bank of Americus, will begin active operations as soon as their subscription lists are complete. This will give Americus seven banks, which is a splendid showing for a placo of its size. At the World's .Fair In '03. General Miles of the United States Army has suggested that all volunteer troops under state government, but sub ject to Federal authority, be given an encampment during the fair, and that Congress make an appropriation for this purpose. If the suggestion eventuates, it is highly probable that ahe Americus Light Infantry will bo on hand. This company la soldierly and excellently dis ciplined and would cut an imposing fig ure at the fair. Tha Albany News and Advertiser has thin to say about the pos sibility of the excursion: “Col. Wight of the Fourth Georgia Regiment was seen by an Albany News and Advertiser reportor the other day and said: “According to the suggestion made by Gen. Miles, of the United Ktates army, congress will be asked to make an ap propriation for this purpose. If this is done the Georgia troops will go into camps during the fair.” “How long would they be there?” “I suppose they would be there a week or ten days." “How will this trip be governed if congress makes this appropriation?” * “I suppose that the volunteer troops will be stationed there by states. This is my understanding of it now.” “What do you think is the prospect of the accomplishment of this scheme?” “Of course I can’t say anything about that. It all depends upon what con gress will do. Gen. Miles hu recom mended it, and I look for a favorable aation by congress when the matter comes up ” Call and buy your gas fixtures before the rush. Americus Sui'pi.v Company. INCENDIARY TORCH. TWENTY-EIGHTH DISTRICT INFEST ED BY A BAND Of Incendiaries Who Dave Applied tha Torch Promlseoonsly—Two Barns nnd , a Store are Plred-Tbh People are Out- rased. Three consecutive fires In the 28th district, about eight milee from Ameri cus on the Flint river, aroused the sus picion of those residing in the vicinity and pointed strongly to incendiary ori gin. Rigid Investigation reaulted In the arrest of Russell Westbrook, col., who was lodged behind the bars in the county jail to await trial. Only on last Wednesday week a large ■tore was burned to the ground, the ori gin of the fire being Incendiary. Messrs. L G. HudsoD, M. J. llass and Ebb West brook have all lost valuable property In this way. The people in the neighbor hood are incensed at these outrages and they will leave no stone unturned to fer ret out and punish the fire fiend. Sus picion casts a shadow ou sc /oral charac ters living not very far from the scene of the conilagrations and their movements are closely watchod, with a view of ob taining evidence sufficient to authorize tbeir detention until they can have a hearing. Such lawlessness should and will be stopped, nnd the culprits when captured will be made an example of THE DKMOCltATIC PRIMARY Will be Culled Promptly nnd Nomlumtlone Will be In Order. To-day at f) o’clock the democrat ic executive committee will as- semblo at the People's National Bank and fix a date for the primary. Teis ac tion is reasonable and necessary since but a few weeks elapses before the elec tion occurs. Three aldermen are to be selected in place of tlie three retiring members, who have signified their inten tion of withdrawing from tho contest. The following call speaks for itself: 'The members of the democratic ex ecutive committee will please meet this morning at 1) o'clock, at the People's National Bank. x “John Windsor, Chairman."

Crisp, candidate for speaker of the next house, spent yesterday very quietly about his hotel. Tbe judge la deeply saddened by tbe death of his son Walter and he is handicapped by reason of this grief. * He is still a favorite in tbe race, and tbe honor seems to be alternate between him and Mills. Henry Jones, Senator Coiqaitt's pri vate secretary, Is here. Ho was out in Ohio during the late election. He de clares that the democratic campaign committee barely had enough money to pa) postage, while the other fellows had oceans of boodle. Governor Campbell, lie says, is poor, and will go the prac tice of law at Hamilton when his term as governor has expired. Jones thinks that Campbell's dodging the free silver issue hurt him, but this is simply one opinion. A host of opin ions say that the free silver plank incor porated in the democratic platform lost Campbell votes. The consensus opinion is that boodle won tho McKin ley beat and not high iariff. Jerry Simpson Is here once more and will remain now until he takes the oath of a representative. A new candidate for doorkeeper of the house, Charles H. Turner of New York has exfoliated. Turner is an ex-congressman from the sixth New York city district, and was popularly known as “Iceman Turner.’’ He claims to have Tammany backing. To-day here is cold and stormy, and tho streets are deserted. NELSON TIFT, Call at Mrs. F. M. May’s and see the faney goods the has on hand. novUMSt , A nix Haul. A party of four or five men from Amerleui came to Abbeville last Thurs day, to fiih In tha Oomulgee river. They were abundantly rewarded, Ou Satur day morning they, returned with 000 pounds of.catfish, trout- 1 and suckers. They were fishing for the market, and estimated that they would realize be tween <60 and $70;ou the fish, at 10 cents per poupd, Tho Ocmulgee river and swamp affords a good living to numbers of people who come from a distance to fish and hunt.—Abbeville Times,. These fish wore brought to Americus and were put on sale, Tint a hitch occur red and local fish mongers demanded that a tariff of (10 be (addled on them. The authorities seceded to their request, aud In the future fish caught in sur rounding waters cannot be fold without a ifeense. Strayed er Stolen Bnlldlnx Fnld For.

A. Harris, the popular grocer, removes to the corner of Jackson and Forsyth streets, and will after that date ocoupy the two commodious store rooms at that point. This removal has been necessitated by the foot that Mr. Harris’ business has entirely outgrown his present store house capacity, and he finds that a new and larger house is required fur the proper distribution of his large stock of fonoy and family groceries. It la hardly necessary, to state that this business will be transferred to an other part of town, as all of Mr, Narrii' customers will be sure to look him up, but to nave them any trouble it may as well be mentioned. I have suffered with a severe oold all fall and winter, and couldn't secure any relief until I commenced using Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. Since that time my head has been dear and I've experienced no difficulty in breathing. I consider it a most wonderful remedy. TOM W. WlNbOR, Ed. (Warsaw, Ind.) Wasp. -'Unci. Hiram.” A very feeble Imitation of “The Old' Homestead” was rendered at the operh house last night by the “Unde Hiram” Company, and, with the exception of a first-class orchestra, the entertainment contained very little of merit. Posalbly ■had the house been better, or the weath er warmer, the imitation might have been a more faithful one, and “Uncle Hiram” been something nearer approach ing Denman Thompson's most admira ble rural character, “Joshua Whit- combe,” but, as it was, the only feeling possessing tbe oold and tired audience at the end of the last act was one of Infi nite relief.

In his death Albany loses her most prominent citizen aud devoted friend. He may be said to have been tbe founder of this city, for he has been a resident of Albany since he moved here from Connecticut in is boyhood. From tbe beginning of his residence he has been fully identified with every thing that looked to the advancement of tbe town. Col. Tift was a member of the laat constitutional convention and left the Imprint of his experience and wisdom on many of the most important parts of that work. He was an. earnest bard worker, and had amassed a large fortune. For a long time be waa engaged in the warehouse and commission business, his partner being bis son-in-law, Capt. T. W. Wool- folk, of Columbus, Ga. He was also interested in a line of boats and several railroad enterprises. He was about eighty-seven years of ago. Last week he returned from Atlanta, where ho had been before tbe railroad commission in the interest of better de pot accommodations for Albany. Mr. Tift was very wealthy. He is said to havo owned a whole town—Tlfton— named after him. His fortune hesti mated at between a half million and two hundred and fifty thousand dollars “I see before mo the gladiator He,— his manly brow consents to death.” Aht what a waste of good materials. Sueh a brave fellow should not be left to die like a dog. Sad, sad to think, tho noble Romans had no Salvation Oil. =£i= Few people carry pockot scissors of the folding sort.
