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."

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 Stomach 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.” George A. Page, Watertown, Mass. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists. 31; six for $5.
