Thursday night Mr. W. A. Ilar-
on Joseph Mulhollaud’s place
a f,.w miles from town, left his
smoke house door unlocked. The
iext morning he round that about
,ne hundred pounds of meat had
disappeared, eight or ten fine hams
in the lot. Mr. Harheok ap
peared before Justice Stubbs in
the afternoon and swore out a
search warrant for several sus.
peeled parties.
The Xcir Itnilroad.
It has been stated by one of the
directors of the A. P. & L. road
that the iron would be laid by the
first ol June, or very near that
time. The rails will he steel, and
the whole equipment of the loud
will cost about $190,000. It is be
lieved thut the road will pay filtcen
per cent, on the money. Every
thing about the road will be new
and first class, as it is believed it
will pay in the long run.
Fire Alarm.
Saturday night about 7 o’clock
the fire alarm was sounded and the
hoys hurried to their respective
engine rooni3, and the Hook and
Ladder Company drew their ap
paratus some distance down the
street. But the brilliant Idaze in
the southwest was dying away and
rolls were called and all relumed
to their other avocations. The
alarm was caused by the firing of
a pine thicket a short distance from
town by Bob Harper. No damage
was done.

Hard Times.
The times .re bard and money
is scarce, and for that reason it be
hooves every man to inako a dollar
go as far as possible. True econ
omy is buying cheaply, and you
cannot practice economy better
than by buying your groceries of
L. B. Bosworlh, who is offering
them very low for cash. Ho lias a
line line, Ids stock being complete,
and he has the reputation of keep
ing only first class goods. Go and
sec him, is the advice the Recorder
gives to its readers.
mg a grand fireman’s tourna
ment here this spring. The object
was fully explained to the btisiuess
men, and it is to the credit of the
merchants that they responded
heartily and liberally. They rta 1 * * * * & -
ized that a big tournament would
draw a big crowd, and possibly, a
big pile of money, and it i*. would
have the died of livening up busi
ness for a few days they would he
well repaid for their expenditure.
Americus never does anything by
halves when she once starts, and
she is fuliy determined to make the
tournament a grand success.
By having a tournament Imre
this spring it will save the home
companies the expense of going to
Augusta or Macon. Large prizes,
fully as large as those given in
Macon last year, will be cilfered to
competing companies, aud the ob
ject to win will be good financially
as well as otherwise. Whether the
tournament will be open to the
State or limited to South Georgia
will, of course, he decided by the
companies later, ns wilt the tests
and other preliminaries. The time
»f holding the tournament will
probably be late in April or early
in .May, the exact date not yet
being known.
It will be well advertised, and no
doubt will draw tbe largest crowd
to this city drawn for a long time.
Meeting of the Americus Bar.
Americus, March 6th, 1885.
A meeting of the members of
the bar of the city of Americus was
held tnis day at tbe office of J udge
Fort.
Upon motion of Judge W. A.
Hawkins, Judge Alien Fort was
selected as chairman, and upon mo
tion of the same gentleman W. M.
Hawltes was requested to act as
Scoretaro.
Hon. W. A. Hawkins then stated
lu Memory or Cousin Leila.
Here we no more tears to shed.
Hare wo no more sighs to breathe,
There should be many a drooping head,
There should be twined a mourning
wreath,
For where the grave flowers softly
wave.

Eeeretful feelings will arise,
When faithful momorv’s wingis spread
And to-day departed flies.

All Editor’s Balloon.
The latest thing in the way of
an advertising dodge is a balloon,
which is owned liy the Dawson
Appeal. The Appeal is going to
send up the balloon on the night of
Saturday, the 17th, if the weather
is fair. Attached to it will bo a
card giving a year’s subscription
to the Appeal to the man finding
and returning the balloon. How
the editor gets bis money out of it
is not slated, but he will probably
have a copywright on the item and
the interest the ascension ot the bal
loon will cause. The Appeal is
evidently keeping up with the pro
cession.
An Old Bible.
Mr. T. M. Eden has an old bible
that is a rare relic of old times. It
was shown us Friday morning by
Mr. Tobe Cobb. It was printed in
London in 1706, and has been in
Mr. Eden’s family for over fifty
years, being given to him by bis
father that long ago. How long
his father and his fore lathers bad
it is not known. The bible is in a
g*od state of preservation, but
very few of the leaves being torn.
It is printed in old English type,
and to one not accustomed to the
numerous fa la rather hard to
read. Mr. Eden would not sell it
»t any price.
Or. Bosanko.
This name has become so familiar with
the most of people throngbont the Doit
ed States that it is hardly necessary to
state that he in the originator of tbe great
Dr. Bosanko Cough and Long Syrnp, tbe
people’* favorite remedy, wherever known,
for Conghs, Colds, Consumption and all
affections of the Throat and Langs.

Biirglni’N Abroad.
Saturday morning when Walter
Brown, of the firm of Brown k
French, came to the store le dis
covered lhat the catch which, when
tbe door is locked, receives the
bolt, had been broken and that
some one had rilled tiie money
drawers of its contents. The lock
on the drawer is a patent combina
tion with alarm attachment and
the drawer had been entered with
out breaking the lock, and it was
closed just as they left it. Forty
four dollars was the amount left in
the drawer and it was all taken but
fifteen cents. Two sacks of flour
and a si-ie of bacon were also
missed. The back do6r was evi
dently opened by prying witusome
iron instrument.
As soon as Mr. Brown’s pa.tner,
Mr. French, came in, Brown started
out on a little investigation. He
suspccten a colored man, aud
started down to tbe mile creek, m
the direction of the man’s home.
Some distance down he found a
place where some one had dropped
some heavy burden to take oil Ills
shoes to ero9s tbe creek.' Going
across, he found a place
where a heavy piece of meat
had been thrown over a fence.
Occasionally he would run across
a little flour that had spilled out of
a bursted sack. Finally these signs
landed him at Mingo Glaze’s back
door. Coming back to town he
swore out a search warrant and a
a warrant for Mingo’s arrest,
and in company with Marshal
Lingo went over, searched the
house and brought Mingo, whom
they found in the house asleep,
back with them. Brown recovered
most ot the goods, but no money.
It is evident that two men were en
gaged in the work, as one could
not have carried all the goods.
Mingo claims to have found the
goods in Magnolia Dell.

Then when we see a pure one tall
We fear, alas! we lose our all.
There sleeps a heart as warm anil true,
As ever throbbed flora friendship’s
touch;
The cold grave clod bath pres't but few.
If ever vet, it covered such:
Hut all! all beautiful and brave,
Must also niolder in the grave.
The southern sun may rise and set.
Beaming on many a beautiful thing,
and yet
There should be many a drooping bend,
Thore should be twined a mourning
wrreatb,
For where the grnvo flowers softly
wave
The night dews fall on Leila's grave.

Painful Accident.
Little Pauline, the five and a half
year old daughter of Mr. L. B. Bos-
worth, was painfully Injured by a
large gate, which was leaning
against tbe fence m the barnyard,
Thursday morning. She was play
ing with a little brother, and the
hired man was engaged in cleaning
up the lot. He leaned the gate up
against the fence, and the little
girl tried to get some pieces of
broken crockery that were lying
behind the gate. In some manner
she pulled it down, and it caught
and held her fast until the nurse
and Mrs. Boswortb released the lit-
tie sufferer. Her right thigh was
broken just above the knee. The
wonder is that she was iniured no
worse. The little boy was manfully
tugging at tbe heavy structure
when help arrived, but it was too
big a task for him to accomplish.
Tribute of Love*
Bora at Bastrop, Texas, in 1831, and
died at Tnlbotton, Qu., Feb. 28tb, 1885,
Mrs Lavinia C„ wife of Judge J. M.
Matthews.
This gentlo spirit, having fulfilled its
earthly mission to the fullest requirement
of human destiny, bos winged its flight
beyond tbe mystio river to “fairer regions
far away,” leaving its mortal guise to
quietly rest beneath the peaeefnl shades
of “Oak Hill.” Tender ties are riven;
the family circle is bereft of a voice whose
absence extinguishes its light of happi
ness once so bright, but
Weep not loved ones—tho’ o'er tbe
darkened home,
Her smile so sweetly lighted up,
A desolating change bos come.
Twaa sinful to implore her stay,
When heavenly scenes before her rose
And angels beokoned her away 1"
This sad ordination of Providence is
felt to Us fullest severity by many hearts,
for her Christian heroism and lovelines*
of character made her universally beloved
and admired. She was a devout member
of the Methodist Church, a dutiful and
loving wife and mother, and wts prover
bially eharitable and sympathetic towards
the indigent and afflicted, While attempt
ing to offer this simple tribute, my mind
reverts to tbe many days spent in her
loved sooiety—golden summer days never
to return—and many were my rain at
tempts to emulate her example of piety
and saint-like inbmission to divine power.
There is sweet consolation in the asanr-
anee that the Beaper—the great enemy of
onr race—acta by divine eomminlon in
devastating our earthly homes of their
lovelleet flower*. Then why should we
with to recall, for onr selfish enjoyment
of its companionship, this flower of earth,
when we know it has been transplanted
in a fairer, brighter elime to shed its
fragrance there forevermore—
Safe from life's bitter angniab;
• Ssfe from all harm and danger 1
May the memory of her be as a bright
■tar to guide heavenward tho sorrwing
ones, and—
“O'er that home so sad \nd lonely.
May there fall a holy rest.
For its brightest sweetest blossom,
Bloometb on the Bavior's breaat.”

’Tin Ever Thun.
Three young gentlemen, living a
few miles from the city, started to
a party, a few nights since. They
chartered an ancient team and sal
lied forth right gaily toward tbe
scene of the festivities. Bat alas I
for human expectations. The mule
fell down and broke both shafts of
the buggy, and the disappointed
gents were compelled to forego tho
enjoyment of the party.
