PROGRAMME WILL BE PLEASING
Large Audience Will Attend Lecture
This Evening.
The lecture by Rev. Dr.T. 0. Topper
at the theatre this evening will attract
a large and very appreciative audience.
Dr. Tapper’s reputation as an eloquent
and finished public speaker is too well
established in the Sooth to require any
words of praise from this source, and
it may only bo said that those who
hear him in “Masks and Faces” to
night will be thoroughly pleased. The
singing of Miss Johnson and that
of a fine male qnartette, with the mnsio
of the Mandoline Club, will make up
an entertaining programme indeed.

PEAS GIVEN IN 80LID DOSES.
Owner of Orchard Knows How to
Protect His Trees.
Three youngsters in Americas have
acquired a distaste for dried peas that
never be overcome Night before
last tbe trio scaled the fence of an or
chard on Lamar street and, like the
trio in Eden, proceeded to eat of the
forbidden frnit. Bnt the owner of the
premises, warned by previous visits,
had loaded a doable barrel shotgun
with field peas, and both charges were
fired into the apple snatchers at close
range. Three howls followed as the
boys crashed through a high board
fence, and the doctor is doing the rest.

Why Delivery System Has Not Been
'Established Here.
The three delivery routes laid out in
Snmter county will be established jnst
as soon as a special agent of the Post-
office Department can come to Ameri
cas and inspect same in aocordance
with the nsnal requirements, and this
may be done within a few days.
Illness has prevented the coming of
the agent ordered to this territory.
Qnite recently Postmaster Smith
wrote to Congressman Lewis in regard
to the delay, the service having been
promised several weeks ago, and in
reply he encloses the following letters:
The first is from A W. Machen, su
perintendent of free delivery, in reply
to a letter of inquiry from Mr. Lewis
and is as follows
Washington, June 2G —Hon. E. B.
Lewis, M. G , Montezuma, Ga.—Dear
Sir^ I am in receipt of yonr letter of
the 22nd instant urging that a special
agent be sent to Americas, Ga. to in
vestigate the establishment of the rural
service petitioned for that office. In
reply I beg to inform you that a spec
ial agent was detailed for dnty in your
district, bnt was taken ill and was
obliged to return; he has been in the
hospital for some weeks, bnt • it is
hoped that he will soon be able tore-
ime. Very Respectfully,
A. W. Machen,
Hupt. Free Delivery.
In reply to the above communication
of Snpt. Machen, Mr. Lewis addressed
him the following letter regarding the
matter:

I was aware of the illness of the special

lympatbies are with.bim, bnt the peo
ple of Americas are impatient, and in
case he does not recover his health
shortly? then I insist that you send
another agent. Yonrs truly,
E B. Lewis, M. C,
From the above correspondence it
will bo seen that Mr. Lewis is using
his best efforts to have the free rural
mail service established, and that the
delay has been due to no fault upon
his part. Postmaster Smith hopes that
all of the three routes suggested by
him will soon be folly established.
In the meanwhile Mr. Lewis will
hurry up matters as much as possible.
CAUGHT MANY MONSTER TROUT.
Pond Drained and Fine Fish Caught
By Bushels.
Mr. G. D. Hays, residing two miles
east of Americas, drained a small fish
pond near his home a few days ago and
then proceeded to pick np bushels of
fine fish. Magnificent trout weighing
six to eight pounds were plentiful,
while a few very large carp, some of
them weighing 18 pounds, were found
as well.- Nearly two bushels of fine
bream were picked np in the shallow
water. The dam was then repaired,
and the little pond, will soon team with
fish again.
