READERS.
Things Happened, Happening and Oo-
lngto Happen-Goasip Gathered and
Facta Fortraycd-What Americus
People Are Doing For Pleasure.
Americus lias a great many lady
equestriennes, and the number of
these Is constantly beiug Increased.
A cavalcade of these may be seen
almost any afternoon, galloping
through the streets and out into
the country, enjoying the frehli air,
and letting the color mount still
higher into their cheeks, making
them appear like a company of
mounted angels charging upon the
things wicked on our earth.
It Is healthy, iuvigoratiug and
aud beautifying exercise, and
maybe one of the causes why our
young ladies are so justly noted for
their loveliness. .So universal l:as
this exercise become that the
young ladies are‘peaking of get-
ting upa riding club, and making
periodical excursions, beside* the
short rides. In other words It will
he a sort of a cavalry company, and
it is needleBs to say that in every
encounter they will he very success
ful.
Marriage is a subject much dis
cussed in Americus just at present,
aud although worn by couHtaut talk
the past six months, is even now
more discussed than ever.
What is the proper time to marry ?
is one of tile phases of the question,
aud recently a great variety of an
swers have beeu heard.
“No girl should tliiuk of marry
ing before site is twenty-live,” said
one of our young ladies "Until
then she does not know her own
mind, and I have heard of few bad
matches made when the lady was
at a proper age. Of course the man
should be older, hut this is not
necessary. I am just twenty one
and have my share of admirers,
but don’t expect to he wedded until
I reach the age I mentioned.”
The young lady in question said
she was only twenty-one, and no
young lady ever prevaricates.
However, it is thought that she is
compelled to folluw her rule, aud it
is hard to see how she can marry
before she is twenty-six. But, of
course, she was honest in her ex
pression. .
OLD FORGOTTEN DANVILLE.
Another young lady, and a most
charming and popular one, in the
bloom of youth, talked timely:
“How old I am, I will not tell,
foryou might disbelieve me. Sweet
Ixteen is not far past though, and
yet I am Boon to lie wedded. I be
lieve that love coupled with a little
common sen-c is all that's needed
to make a choice, and when these
point *out a man, .why the sooner
you get him, the better.
"I may sound gushing, but I be
lieve tile love of youth is the love
of loves, aud when it speaks there
can be no danger of going aliead. I
used my common sense first, then
loved, and altlmugh many may
criticise, cards will soon be out."

Here are two opinions. Which is
right? Both or neither? It’s not
exactly a legitimate subject, but
nevertheless occurs In many a man
and woman’s thoughts. Just at
present it seems to be worrying a
good number, and the popular solu
tion seems that given by o:»*i of our
unmarried men of doubtful age.
He says: “At twenty I wanted
to marry, but tbe girl wouldn’t
have me, and I have been looking
ever since for one that suited and
would join me. It isn’t a question
of how old you are, but do you
want her and can you get her.”
Capt. C. T. Furlow, in Tuesday’s
Constitution, tells about a town
that once rivalled Americus, but
which is now totally obliterated, as
follows:
Captain O. T. Furlow grew remi
niscent yesterday, from reading
Colonel JouesL work, “Dead Towns
of Georgia.”
“Wheu we moved to Sumter
county in LSI'.),” said lie, “the prin
cipal town in thee muty was Dan
ville. «'homes would skip Ameri-
cus to ko to Danville, and in the
number oi inhabitants and amount
of business done it overshadowed
Americus. It never was the county
seat, however, and probably that’s
whatsAved Americus. Sumter was
created by an act of the legislature
iu '31, and Americus was laid out
in ’32.
“Danville promised to be a big
place. It had 300 to -100 inhabitants,
aud UnU was something notable in
that secttou of the state at that
time, Americus, at seventeen years
old, had les^ than 200
“Danville boomed. A. G. Butts,
now living in Macou, and his broth
er, J. It. Butts, who is dead now,
back in tbe ’40s, built a river steam
er called the Magnolia, aud every
body thought that settled Ameri
cus. J It Butts, I remember, pub
lished h big map of Georgia. Dan
ville was on the Flint river, aud it
put on big airs when Die Magnolia
was built.
“Of course the railroad made
Americus.
“Dauvil.’e reached its zeuith about
1830, aud then it steadily declined,
while Americus forged ahead. Dan
ville continued a postofllce, how
ever, until ’GO or ’61, and even after
the war there were a few people
living there. About the last thing
to go was a barroom, but that went
in time. To-day it would be hard
for a stranger to And the site of this
old town. Not a single house is
left, aud very few and very dim
landmarks of any sort.
“In ’49, when Danville was about
its best, there wasu’t a siugie brick
house in Humter county, aud very
fow brick chimneys. My father,
T. M. Furlow, built the first brick
house in the county, and it would
be hard for this younger generation
to understand what a curiosity it
was. It was a one-story brick store
in Americus.
“Iu another forty years, Ameri
cus will have f>rgotten that she
ever had a rival in Sumter, or near
there; aud even tbe name of Dan
ville will be forgotten.”
Dyspepsia
Makes the lives of many people miserable,
ami often leads to self-destruction. Distress
after eating, sour stomach, pick headache,
heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, “ all gone
feeling, bad taste, coated tongue, and lrregu-
1^1 . larity of the bowels, are
DlStrOSS some of the more common
After symptoms. Dyspepsia does
P not get well of Itself. It
Ealing requires careful, persistent
attention, and a remedy like Hood’s Sarsa
parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and
eillciently. It tones the stomach and other
organs, regulates tho digestion, creates
good appetite, ami by thus $ick
overcoming the local symp- - , . .
toms removes tho sympa- HOQClQCnO
thetic effects of tho disease, banishes the
headache, and refreshes tho tired mlud.
“ I have beeu troubled with dyspepsia,
had but little appetite, and what I did eat
Mnnr+- distressed me, or did
n 0dri little good. In an hour
Dlirn after eating I would expe
rience a faintness, or fired, .ill gone feeling,
as though I had not oaten anything. My trou
ble, I think, was aggravated by my business,
which is that of a painter, and from being
more or less shut up In a SOUT

room with fresh paint. Last
spring 1 took Hood’s Sarsa- 5
rilla—took three bottles. *It did mo an
immense amount of good. It gave mo an
appetite, and my food relished and satisfied
tho craving I had previously experienced.”

Mr. Holloway Devano was bom
ill North Carolina on tho It rat .lay
of January, 1815, ami in early man
hood moved to Schley comity, Geor
gia, where on March Util, 1845, ho
aud Miss Susan Myrick were mar
ried. This marriage was blessed
with eleven children, two dead aud
nine living, all of the latter grown
aud married except two.
In 1N72 he moved to Harbour
county, Alabama, and from there
to Randolph couuiy, Georgia, in
1SS0, where ho lived until the mes
senger of death summoned hint
heme on February 12th, 18U1.
Mr. Devane was not only kind
and aircctionate as a husband and
father, but to know him was to love
him, as ills jovial smiles carried
the sunshine of pleasure with
them. He Joined the Methodist
church in 1843, and lived up to its
requirements. During the two
weeks of his last illness, as the rest
of bis life, he bore his troubles, if
be had any, and affilctiona in si
lence. One of the noblest works of
God has gone.

The water commissioners met
yesterday, ami decided to raise the
price of water for the printing
olllces from $200 to 4500 per year.
It ia claimed that this is tho great*
ext Hource of the waste, and the
commissioners don’t enro to let tho
olllces have the water even at 4300.
It might be a good idea for them to
make a calculation of the waate
from one or two faucets in the city,
