WILL LIMIT THEM, 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. , Lovely Neckwear, beautiful silk and linen Handkerchiefs, handsome Night Robes, collar and cuff boxes and toilet oases make nice holiday gifts, at W.

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.

ENDLESS ARRAY PRETTY AND ATTRACTIVE GOODS FOR THE CHRISTMA8-TIDE. The Stone An Fall of Enrythlna That Can Tickle tha Fancy of the Most Fas tidious-Show Windows An Belas Ar tistically Decorated. The avenues of trade are very attrac tive now. 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.

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. See onr ad. Bcall A Oaklet. CBURCB DIRECTORY. Catholic Church—Lee street. Second Methodist Church—Esst Amerions. Rsv. R.
