THE CENTRAL ROAD HAS PROMISEO
AMERICUS
A Slaw and ImpodnE Dapot—If tha Prom-
lie I. not roim'ad tha Railroad Com-
mlaaloB Will Show Ita Haad and Opan
tha Jack Pot.
New depot!
That'* the way It’s (pelt!
A promise that moat be fulfilled!
When the Railroad Commission of
Georgia meets again, unlesaa certain
promise Is kept, you can expect to hear
something drop, sad when you do keep
your eye on the Central depot
Our clUzens all recall the petition
sent from Americus to the Railroad Com
mission of Georgia, and also reooUect
that it contained the autographs of our
most prominent citizens.
Now here's a hit of history t
When that petition was presented to
the board of railroad commissioners if
was determined by them first to ascer
tain the purpose and Intention of the
Central road regarding the ereotion of a
new depot before they took dsolrive
and final action.
The board fnlly appreciates Americus’
need of the depot, end they are resolved
that she shall have better accommoda
tion!.
Notice that a petition bad been filed
Asking for more suitable depot facilities
was sent to Supt, V. K. UcBee, of the
Central road, with the request that he
give It his earnest consideration.
This Snpt.HoBee did.
By return mall he informed the board
of commissioners that it wm the pur
pose of the Central railroad officials to
erect a depot, one that wonld answer all
the requirements of Americus as Its
present stage of growth, and one that
would make provisions for her future
expansion.
This communication was reoeived only
a short time since, end the superintend'
ent promised to commence the ereotion
of the new depot ae soon as the bustle
and confusion of the December election
It over.
First It !o necessary for the Central’s
authorities to confer with the mayor and
board of aldermen regarding the site and
other preliminaries, and the magnitude
of the structure.
Suppoee, like pie crust, the Central's
promise Is made to be broken.
“What can Americus do?’Ie the nat
ural query, 'il?"
That is readily answered.
Judge Allen Fort was seen yesterday
by a Tfmes-Recorder reporter who
sprung the same point
“Well, In event of that,” * said the
Judge, “the remedy Is very simple and
effective. The railroad commiaaloa will
simply draw the (tatuto of limitation on
them and the depot will be bnilt That’s
the milk In the cocoanut.”
“Will ft he done before February?’
“The railroad commissioners will
not meet again before the Christmas
holidays, but as soon as they do, the en
tire matter will be sifted by them. It is
my belief, however, that the Central in
tends to build the depot and that right
early.”
Superintendent MoBee has committed
the road to the depot and yon can pnt It
In your pipe and smoke it that Americas
“is in it," and that too by a huge
majority. ,

MUST GST BIGHT TO WORK.
No Tim* to bo Lost by tho World’s Fair
The representation of Georgia at the
World's Fair (s now wttb the people
Colonel Charlton H. Way, one of the
two World’s Fair commissioners from
Georgia, says there Is no time to be lost
and whatever is done by the committee
appointed by the Maeon convention, will
have to be done without delay.
Unless the spaoe allotted to Georgia Is
oeoupied soon it will be given to other
states, and Georgia cannot well allow
that to be done. Colonel Way la ready
to co-operate with the committee in so-
curing a representation at Cbleago that
will be a credit to the state. The com'
mlttee, he says, will have to get to work
quickly, and the sooner the better.
There Is mnoh to be done, a large field
to oover and little time to work in. The
committee Is composed of the best men
in Georgia and there is. no reason, Col
onel Way says, why they should not se
cure through their Influence and efforts
a state exhibit that will rival that of any
other southern state.

The avenues of trade are very attrac

Christmas goods are all the go, and
the merchants of Americas have not con
sidered expense in buying their unusual
ly large amount of wonderful novelties
and beautiful goods.
And the women are on the go!
Morning, noon and night finds , the
stores crowded with purchasers.
The shop windows are a dream of
artlstio beauty, presenting the rarest and
oostllest novelties In endless profusion.
. Yesterday the streets were crowded
with onstomers, relieving the market of
many beautiful gifts to bring pleasure
and delight to many hearts daring the
Christmas tide.
Dolls, dolls!
Gf every conceivable description i
Dolls never will go out of faiblon, not
so long as llllipntian hearts best beneath
our homes.
They are prettier tbie year than ever
before.
A lady in one of the etoree yesterday,
alluding to the gorgeone array of dolls,
said: “Why it makes flesh and blood
folks torn green with envy to note tbelr
resplendent beauty. The “Fair one
with the Golden Looks” wes quite an or
dlnary dowdy*compared with the shin'
log one who now confronts ue from the
■how windows. The bloom that never,
never fades on their rounded cheeks, and
the light that never falls looks forth
from their eilken-fringed eyes. Old age,
nor care, nor showers of falling tears
ahallnot moisten those charming orbe,nor
mar the contour of their lovely brow,
and yet, aa our own beloved Mrs. Brown

ANCIENT JERUSALEM
Is Now on Exhibition In Amoriena on tho
;{ Old Court Bouse Bqoaro.
The Inventive genius of Ur. J. B. Mil
ler, of Warsdw, Hancock County, 111.,
has given to the world a beautiful repre
sentation of the Jerusalem of eighteen
centuries ago, a real city In miniature,
with every detail aa natural aa life. This
marvelous piece of mechanical work is
the result of twelve year’s study and
toll at the hands of Mr. Miller, the
builder, and a more perfect and inter
esting novelty has never before been ex-
btblted In tbie or any other country. As
the visitor enters the pavilion on the old
court house square, he ie shown a mas
sive and beautiful piece of carving, ela
borately decorated in gold, marble and
alabaiter, and the structure is fairly
alive with animated figures of people,
animals and birds. The structure is fif
teen feet high, twenty-five feet wide and
weighs nearly two tons. Under a gor
geous archway is seen the city proper,
the temple of Jerusalem, its courts and
walla. The tower of Antonia, where
waa loeated ths judgment ball, the
palaces of Herod, David and Solomon,
end hundreds of other prominent build
ings, while Monnt Calvary la seen In the
distance. In front of the city I* shown
the Monnt of Olives, the Brook Kedron
and the Garden of Gethtemane. High
priests and ojher people are constantly
passing through the gates end Into the
city.
. In the' foreground Christ and the
twelve apostles appear through a large
gate and meet a funeral procession bear
ing the body of the eon of the widow of
Nain. They all stop, and the pall bear
er* place the bier on the ground, the son
apparently oomes to life, steps off the
bier and goes to bis mother, who places
her arms around him, and the entire
group turn about and go home rejoicing
instead of son owing, while the twelve
apostles pess threugh another gate and
enter the city. Other scenes follow In
rapid succession; the smith at hia forge,
hammering upon the heated Iron with
real fire In his forge; the potter making
lets of olajr, birds singing with natu
ral voices, chimes of belie, etc., etc.
On the right Is shown the aetge of Je
rusalem ky Titus et the head of the Ro
mps, at which time the entire city was
destroyed. ’ On the left U seen Solomon
and his workmen building the temple.
Tbie is not a panorama, ns some are ltd
to believe, but a reel,city, which, In Its
mechanical construction alone, is supe
rior to any similar work ever built. Even
tha Strasbnrg clock, which many have
crossed the ocean to see, isatoy com
pared with this wonderful work. There
ere many intonating feature* that.it is
impossible to describe; andmaftbe seen
to bo ftooncUtod. ' 1 + .
The exhibition will be open afternoons
and nights for thfee days more. The
nation is only 15 cents, and children
will be admitted at 10 cents each.
