blended state. Mr. Miiler is from
’New York, and Is a popular and
progressive young man.
They left on the 2:30 train for
New Jersey, and will sail soon on a

Something of s Welker.
Mr. Tobe Cobb, our popular bai
lin', tells a story of a walk that he
took, which demonstrates the anxi
ety a man has to see a newly mar
ried wife. It's a pretty good walk,
sud is certainly a fact.
It seems that years ago, when
genial Tobe had been married only
a week or so, circumstances were
such as to Keep them separated.
At the expiration of two weeks
Tobe was in Columbus and his
bride in Montgomery, Ala., aud'lt’s
needless to state that the pair want
ed to see each other badly. They
had only been together for a short
time since marrying, and as Tobe
had to come to Americus lie wrote
bis wife to meet him bore on a cer
tain day.
The only way to get here then
was to go to Macen and then take
tbe train for this place. The train
which Tobe wished to take left Co-
lutubiiH at six o'clock, and on the
day lie wished to leave he ovei-
slept himself. Ho reached the de
pot just as the train pulled out, 1
and shout aslie would lie couldn’t
ge. it to stop.
Here was a p'etty mesa. He
wanted to see his wife amt had
written her that lie would meet her
iu Americus that day.
He just hail to bo here and us the
train Irft (be wasn’t a member
of tbe church then), he said: “
you, I’ll beat you lliere.”
With that he started out to walk
the till miles between Columbus
and this place.
It was a long walk and be bad to
make an average of about six miles
ail hour, but lie started nut witli
a vim and a kept it up. He reach-
Americus before dark, and as he
crossed the track at the depot lie
saw the train pulling iu. He beat
it here and put himself down as
the best walker on record. He saw
hit. wife, and says be never felt
tired in the least from his walk.

Fort Valley, Jan. 21.—Ohio ex
cursion arrived here this evening
at 6 o'clock, being delayed by
wreck on the Southwestern be
tween Powersvllle and this place
There are thirty in the party, and
are all in good humor. The F’ort
Valley people have made every ar
rangement for the entertainment
of the party, and will leave noth
lug undone to make a favorable
Impression upon their visitors.
G.
The party spent yesterday in
Macon. Here is what yesterday’s
News says of them:
A large party »f Ohio capital
ists arrived in Macon this mo r n-
iug.
The party consists of thirty-
four substantial cRlzens from in
and near Dayton.
They are eu route to F'ort Val
ley to look over the fine fruit lands
of that section.
Major W. L. Glessner, commis
sioner of emigration, Is in charge
of the excursion.
Twenty-eight of tlie party came
in on the 10:45 Central train from
Atlanta. Six remained in Atlanta,
but will go through to Fort Valley
to-night.*
They come South for investment,
Macon should try and have some of
them to invest their money iu and
about tbisolty.
In the party were all the Ohio
and North Carolina directors of
“The Albaugh Georgia Fruit Farm
Co.," whose farm is near Fort Val
ley. With these prominent gen
tlemen are about twenty-five others
of means, wly> came to Geogia, and
especially Fort Valley, to inspect
tbe lands and fruit Interest with a
view of investing here.
The party were delayed In Ma
con about two hours, owing to the
wreck on the Southwestern road
The delay gave them an oppor
tunity to look over the eity, which
they did, spending tbe entlrotime
in inspecting the different points of
interest.
After dining at the Brown house,
they left for Foit Valley at
o’clook.
MR. W. L.GLESSNER.
From tbe Albany New*.
Editor W. L. Glessner, of tho
Amerlnus Recorder, is at his old
tricks again.
Probably no other man In Geor
gia has been more largely instru
mental In directing tbe attention
of the outBide world to the many
advantages of Southwest Georgia
than he, and the result of his ener
getic and persistent work in this
direction has been rewarded by
many additions to the population
of Georgia from the West, who
liaviqg come South under Editor
Glessner’s persuasion, bare had
their eyes opened, and seeing and
comprehending the advantages
which Georgia, and particularly
Southwest Georgia, offers over
their own over-crowdsd sections,
have readily exchanged their
homes In the West for homes in
the South.
Editor Glessner is welt known in
Ohio, of which State ho is a native,
and in working up excursions from
that State to this, he has made ita
point to influence that class of peo
ple who would add something more
to Georgia In case they became
residents here, than simply their
presence. Tbe class that he has
been exertlug himself amongst are
men possessing brains, energy and
capital, tho essentials desired to as
sist In developing the garden sec
tion of creation. FTom tilts class
of Western citizens, Eifitor Glees-
uer lias succeeded in making many
additions to Georgia's population,
and is still at work in that direct
ion.
A Negro Stabbed.
Yesterday, a little after lioou, Joe
Fletcher, a negro hackmau, was
stabbed in tlie breast by Dave Ken
drick, negro barber.
It seems that tlie latter was drank
and disputed with Fletcher about
the place lie wished to bo carried.
Hot words followed, and then Ken
drick made the lunge. It was a
mere accident that tlie wound was
not fatal, "eudriok was placed
under a $300 bond to uppear before
Judge Pilsliiiry tills morning.
Mr. H. C. Odom, of Leesburg,
was in the eity yesterday.
Mr. C. H. Crawford, of Buena
Vista, spent yesterday in Amer
icas. ,
Mr. II. C. I.erew, of Birming
ham, Ala., is in the city. He is
here on Important business which
will consummate to-day. Mr. I.e
rew is quite an entertaining gentle
man, Is a Knight Templar and well
posted.
For some time past Mr. J. M.
Daly, tbe plumbing and steam
heating man, has been at work put
ting a system of steam heating in
theJacksou street public school.
The work is now all done except
ing some finishing touches, such as
bronzing the radiators.
Y'esterday tbe steam was turned
on for the first time, and every part
worked beautifully. The system is
one of low pressure, aud Is tbe best
in existence. Only three pounds
of steam are necessary to heat the
building up to as high a degree as
is wanted. ' With five pounds a
tem|ierature of 70 degrees can be
gotten, when the thereraometer
would stand at zero. There are
thirty-nine radiators In the bulld-
luc, each room having one or more,
according to its size, and some be
ing placed iu the halls. Each radi
ator lias a key by which the {steam
may be regulated and the room
kept at the temperature desired.
By the system used, there is no
possibility of gas, and not the
slightest effect will be had upon tbe
occupants.
It's a good system, well put iu,
aud with the exception that the
chimney will have to be enlarged,
is entirely satisfactory to the super
intendent aud school board.
OVER THE CITY.
The uiauy excellent showings
made by AmericuB enterprises re
cently have added much to the
fluaucial condition aud confidence
of the citizens. Many semi-annual
dividends have been declared with
in past few weeks, and much money
has been paid out to the people in
the city and vicinity. These enter
prises are all strictly Americus in
stitutions, and prove Indisputably
the great progress of the city.
Besides this, many new euter
prises have recently been organ
ized, and those who are in the best
positions to know the condition of
the city have planted thousands
more dollars in the Institions of
our city. Everybody feels good
over our progress, and Americus’
future was never as bright as it is
at present.
“Yes, sir, puns are * tlie easiest
things on earth to make,” said a
rather bright young man to a group
yesterday. “I can make some eSrt
of a pan on anything you may ask
me to on the spur of tbe moment.”
The crowd thought awlle and fin
ally one said “Mephistopheles.”
“Oh, I can double up ‘my-fist-
awful-eas'y,’ ” was the quick reply.
It may not be much of a pun, but
the crowd laughed.
Then an Intellectual member of
the group wanted to know who
“Mister Fopalees” was.
In yesterday’s Rf.cordrr was an
artiole concerning Annie Plxley.
About it, one gentleman Bald to a
reporter; “Why didn't you say
something belter about Annie Fix-
ley? I went to the performance
and was delighted with it. She is
the best soubrette I ever saw, and I
think she deserved especial men
tion. I have never Been a show in
Americus which I liked better, and
have heard many others express tbe
same opinion.”
Another gentleman said: “Why
didn’t you score Annie Pixley
heavy one? It was as poor a show
s I ever saw, with few exceptions,
n have heard others say the same,
Tud you ought to have said it was
a mighty poor show.”
