From the Fort Valley Leader.
Following is the address of Mr.
\V. F. Wynne, chairman of the
committee, which was appointed
to purchase and present a memento
to Maj. W. L. Giessner, on behalf
of tlie people of Fort Valley :
“In all the calls of duty ever
made upon me by my fellow citi
zens, to none have I responded with
greater eagerness or pleasure, than
the most happy duty f am now
called upon by them to execute. I
am not, as is in most cases, at a
loss for words with which to per
form thin uuty-—it is rather the
other way. I have a surplus of
words, but to arrange them most
appropriately, brings upon me an
unsurpassed bewilderment, on ac
count of the great pleasure this
happy duty brings upon me.
“As is well known by the reading
public of several States, Georgia
has one citizeu who is doing a
great deal for the development of
this grand State. In the midst of
a large and prosperous private bus
iness, he always has an eye single
to the welfare of Georgia’s (level
opment in various sections. Jn
this great and grand work, one feat
ure I think especially commenda
ble, and that Is his total unsectiou-
al, impartial view and actions,
as to what section lie renders his
invaluable services. He shows
conclusively that he is working for
the welfare and development of the
w hole State, and that it is appreci
ated hv our people, from one ideali
ty I am sure, gives me unalloyed
plea.-mp, here to affirm. For a

when a man is so 1 road minded,
him! s<> j hi'antliropic as to give bis
time, bruin and iulhieucc, to the
development of any and all sec

ami that of all true citizens, grows
beyond expression. For such a
I would not be human, therefore,
if I did not feel proud of the praise
you have bestowed upon me, even
if it not be fully merited. I am
proud of it and appreciate it, be
cause it gives evidence that I have
accomplished in some measure the
work I have undertaken, that of
making knowui to the world some
of the many resources and advan
tages possessed by our grand old
commonwealth, and thus aiding in
developing our wealth.
The handsome gift which accom- |
panied your word of parise will ever

evidenced their appreciation

and generous as the expression
which accompanied it, and could
only come from a cultivated, gen

people as would give the stranger
a hospitable welcome and make
him feel at home in their midst.
Hut I cannot accept all your
praise for it does not belong to me.
All that I have done has been sim
ply to carry out, to the best of }vy
ability, the broad and liberal policy
mapped out by the Central Railroad
of Georgia three years ago, when it
undertook the great work to attract
the attention of the people in other
states to the great natural advan
tages of Georgia and turning the
tide of immigration southward. It
was a great undertaing and a patri
otic one—one worthy of the state
government, as its results must
necessarily benefit the whole state.
L'ulike tiie railroads in the North
west, it had no grants of lands
which it wished to dispose of; but
tne officers of this great corpora
tion saw that increased population
would benefit the whole state by
increased production and wealth,
and they generously undertook the
work, relying upon their propor

Many bruises have been caused,
j many maledictions offered upon
the heads of file inuoeeut causers of
the trouble.
In a few weeks now. this nui
sance will be remedied, and every
gate in Americus will swing In
ward. This is the result of an ordi
nance passed by the city council
December 13J which Is us follows:
“from and after March 1st, ISft],
it shall be unlawful for any person
or persons to have for use any gate,
door or shutter which opens on any
street, sidewalk or alley of the
city of Americus, and from the
passage of this ordinance it shall
he uulawful for any person to have
or place any gate, door or shutter
which opens upon any street, side
walk or alley of said citft. For any
violation of the above ordinance
the Mayor shall, upon conviction,
punish the offender as prescribed
in Section 1‘J of the charter.' 1
It will be seen that eyery gate
hung since then has been required
to open inward, and also that every
gate, door or shutter in the city
opening on the street, will have to
be changed by the first day of next
month.
If nor, the violator is stijecl to a

From tl.i> Fort Valley Enterprise.
Fort Valliatis are nothing if not
Grateful.
Their latest exhibition*of grati
tude is their presentation of a silver
water service to Major W. L. Giess
ner.
Major Giessner is the well known
editor of Tin: Amkhicfs Rec ord
er, nod tlie equally well known
immigration agent of the (Viitml
railroad, it ** due t- nts * t> -m**
iimi the Ohioans first turned u.cir
attention to Georgia for invest
ments.
He organized a party in Ohio last
I year and brought them 014a tour
through tlie State of (ieorgia, winch
' n suited in the formation of a com
pany composed of capitalists ; n the
party, who purchased thousands of
dollars worth of land near here,
and have set It out iu fruit trees. <
Again this year lie organizes an
other party in Ohio, who In* l.jings
on u tour through the Hate, and
they organize another company 1
aud invest largely near here.
Now as we Lave said before, the
people of Fort Valley are always
pioud to show their appreciation
for any services in their behalf, and
for such valuable services as Major
Glessner’s they did not propose to j
go unrewarded. A purse was made j
up in a few minutes, and Faptain
James was sent to Atlanta to pur
chase a suitable present there and j
to present it lo Major Giessner
when lie -arrived at Atlanta with
the Ohio party on the return trip.'
But Major Glessuer Went diieel
from Augusta to Macon, aud Cap
tain James caught him there on Ids
return from Atlanta, and presented
him with a beautiful silver water
service in behalf of the people of
Fort Valley.
Major Giessner was presented be
fore leaving Augusta vith a watch
charm by the Ohio party as a token
of their appreciation for his court
esy ami kindness in accompany ing
them around the State.
Georgia lias no better triend than
Major Giessner, and tin* State will
yet show its appreciation lor ibis
fine of $100 or imprisonment for
sixty days.
So says the ordinance, and the
people must act accordingly.
The ordinance passed refers tin*
offender to be punished according
to section 10, which reads as fol
lows:
“He it further enacted, That the
Mayor, or in his absence or disqual
ification the mayor pro tein, shall
as often as be necessary bold a
police court to be known as a
mayor’s court, for the trial of all
offenders against the laws ami or
dinances of the city of Americus.
Said mayor’s court shall have pow
er and authority upon conviction
to sentence such offender to labor
upon the streets or other public
works fora period nol w> exceed
sixty days; to imprisonment in the |

T l>e city water supply will lie
more than doubled.
And tlint too in not many weeks.
Work was betpin yesterday bor-
iuk an artesian well.
When finished, another will lie
begun, and the water from both
turned into the reservoirs, and
pumped into the tank.
Hast summer it was realized that
the supply was insufficient, and
since then the number of consu
mers have bec-11 greatly increased,
Much more is usjd during the hot
months than uow, and it is neces
sary that the supply lit* added to be
fore summer readies us. Tlie con
tract was made, and yesterday
work was begun,
Mr. 1!. J. Kdenlleld, a well borer
of groat experience, has the work,
and by eleven o’clock yesterday
morning, had his scaffold and ma
chinery in place. Before twelve,
steam was turned on, and twei^y
feet of soft earth gone through.
Mr. Kdenfield was seen, and
stated that he would push work as
rapidly as possible, and give tljo
people all the water they want.
After finishing this well, he will
begin on tHe other. The first will
be carried only to a sufficient depth
to give an adequate, temporary
supply. Tiie other will be some
1,000 feet deep, and then tiie first
will piobably lie finished. Tlie
wells will lie s-itich, and will more
than double lin* supply,
Mr. F. Ii'ufidd isalso superintend
ing the boring of the well at the
guano works. This, one lias now
reached a depth of a little over ""0
teet.
Of all tlie evils a water famine is
tiie most to lie dreaded, and this
prompt attention on tlie par! of our
oily nffic'ais deserves and receives
much commendation. Without
this work we would undoubtedly
not have half enough water to sup
ply us during th» summer.
