Your rt porter baa come to the conclusion that It Is time that the dub be ex posed. It may be that some faw of its members, un account ot the long standing of their membership, would care but little for Its expos ure. But, gentlemen, think of the influence you are wielding In jour town. Is it beneficial to jour sons your younger brothers, or your neighbor.)? Is there any good whatever to he derived from these meetings? No gentlemen should participate in any social gathering where they would not > be willing for their wives and daughters to accompany them. Your readers may hear more in reference to the club later on. In the meantime it is sincerely hoped that a more healthy influence may be exerted in our community. At the residence of R. A.

I have been running one near Chattanooga for some time, but for various rea sons have been anxious to change. Not having any particular place lu mind, I first went to Rome, which is a thriving little city, but didn’t quite suit me. Atlanta I found a little crowded. From there I went to Athens, then to Macon ai>d then here. I found some points of ob jection at all these places, but what I have seen of your city pleases me Immensely. 'Of course I have not thoroughly investigated, but have seen enough to convince me, and instead of going to some other places I had In mind, will go back home to-night. Within o’month I will return, and then see what arrangements I can make for land, etc. I am sure Americus Is the city I have been looking for, and Is the best place for Its size I have seen.
