The visit of the Ohio excursion
party here was all the talk ou the
streets yesterday, and the ears of
the Buckeyes must have tingled
smartly if there is anything in the
old superstition about compliments
causing this.
One and ail agree that a belter
looking, more intelligent body nev
er excurted tills way. A lew mo
ments conversation with any one
one of the party showjd him to be
a man of intellect, and a man who
would make the best kind of citizen.
All possessed means and practi
cal experience in some branch of
business, most of the party being
fruit growers and wine makers, in
dustries which would pay them
handsomely here, and which would
do much towards building up our
country.
This sectlou is especially adapted
to grape growing, and almost every
known variety can be raised here
in abundance aud excellency.
These men of the party, on the
inferior lands of Ohio, worn out by
yearH of usage, have succeeded in
making much money, and it is hard
to estimate wliat they could do ou
our line farms.
The party were given a glimpse
of our lauds, and what they had
not time to tlnd out for themselves
was told to them.
In the short stuy made here, of
course only u passing look could be
taken at everything, but an effort
was made to poiut out the most in
teresting places. Many of our fac
tories were shown them, aud the
number of these, their size mid im
portance made quite an impression
ou the party.
The new hotel was greatly ad
mired, a cut of how it would look
being shown them, as was also the
court house aud new city hall. Ou
artesian wat-r was tasted and
praised.
But the point which was most
made of was the great amount of
buildliic to be seen. This has been
often mentioned through these col
umns in the past two years, and
we all kuow how true it is. But
even we, anxious as we are to
recognize all of cursuperior points,
do not appreciate it to the extent of
visitors.
“Why,” said one of the party,
“I never saw anything like It be
fore. All the cities wo have vis
ited show signs of progress, and
with all we were more than pleased,
hut iu none have I seeu such enter
prise aud growth as is shown here.
There is more building going on
than in any city of twice your Bize
I have ever seen.
“In fact, this is the thriftiest lit
tle city I have ever visited.”
Tills remark might be attributed
to any one In the party, as all talked
the same way.
deal of interest in educational mat
ters, being a member of the board
of education of his city, and made
a thorough investigation of our
school system. He had a long con
versation with Superintendent
Bizien, who gave many valuable
points of information.
After seeing aud hearing all he
could, Mr. Greeue expressed him
self as being delighted with our
schools. He considered them high
in grade and managed ably. He
paid a very high compliment to the
city in regard to educational mat
ters, and said he had seen no city
where more money in proportion
was devoted to schools.
Mr. Randall Pope, the retired
drugglstof Madison,Fla., says (Dec.
8, 188!),) lie regards P. 1*. P. G’rick-
ly Ash, Poke Itoot and Potassium)
as the best alterative on the market,
and that he has seen more benefi
cial results from the use of it than
any other blood medicine.
Messrs. Beall & Oakley expect to
move into their building erected by
Mr, Murphey, in two weeks.

heard or read, that you will take

duced to buy any substitute instead.

In the party were many old
Union soldiers, and the meeting
between these and our Confederate
veterans were the source of a great
deal of pleasure. Two of the party
were through here with General
Wilson twenty-six years ago, aud
is is their first visit since then.
They passed through Americus,
and remembered what was then a
little village.
One of these gentleman, Mr
Weis, says that at the time he re
cognized what a wonderful country
we had. He lias since tMd his
sons that if they wished to emigrate.
Georgia not the West, was the
place.
The ex confederates and these gen-
llemcu had many pleaaants chats
together, and swapped many ex
periences.
The trip to Andersonvillo was an
uuexpelled. All were anxious
to go and Major Glessuer secured a
special train. Many citizens accom
panied the visitors, and, treat,
though it was, a more pleasure
giviug trip was never taken.
None of the party had been con
fined at Andersonviile, but many
had brothers, near relatives or
friends who remained there many
weary months. Everything about
the place was of interest to them,
and they eagerly asked questions
concerning it.Relics were treasures,
and nearly every one put a rus
ty button, piece of kuife, buckle or
something of the sort in his pocket.
Resides tills they ?i!l carried ofl*
walking sticks.
Superintendent Bryant entertain
ed them in tils always pleasant
wav. And nearly a hundred more
n.uiu s were added to ills register.
Th*» trip Was of more interest
than any they have taken, and they
were delighted with it.

“Say, Recorder,” said a promi
nent real estate dealer yesterday,
‘suppose some of this Ohio party
wanted to stop here, want'd to
come at once and rent a home.
They couldn't do it, ami then what
are you going to do? We ra»*t to
grow more rapidly, want these men
as citizeus, but to-day I don’t know
of a house for rent,
“This question is obliged to be
settled, and for Heaven’s sake wake
up the capitalists and show them
how they keep people from locat
ing here.”
This is a rather old subject with
us, but the statement about a lack
of houses is only too true. Time
and again have the people been
urged to build more houses, and
they, always alive to necessity,
have responded. But even yet the
scarcity of houses for r*ut is
gloomy, and is even more perspi
cuous.
The Yellow Pine Investment
Company, organized for this pur-
lias not yet got to work good, but
promise us great benefit in this
respect.
The people say get to work at
once.
Having gone through our annual clearing up aud taking.stock, we are
now ready for business. Encouraged by the fact that our busi
ness was greater last year than any previous year, we feel

“I want you to thank Manager
Glover for me,” said a theatre-goer
yesterday, “for the number of ex
cellent shows he has given us this
season. I never enjoyed a season
more in my life, and no city lias
had better bookings.
“Just look back and see what we
have hadOnly one or two poorshows
slipped in, and Atlanta, Savannah.
Macon and the other large cities
were caught by the same troupes.
Americus people have had a treat,
aud I for one, am grateful to Mes
srs Glover, Lanier and Whitley.”
Marie Greenwood is here again
to-night week. The people of
Americus were all delighted with
the performance of Boccaccio, and
will turn out in large numbers to
see the company agaiu.
No better opera troupe has ever
been to Americus, and all who saw
Boccaccio appreciate this. Miss
Greenwood herself possesses one of
the sweetest and best cultivated
voices ever heard here, and her
support iu excellent.
That seems to be tile general .
opinion of all who saw the last per- j
formauce.
Apropos of shows another has |
beeu booked to appear here
after next. Adele Frost is tli
attraction, and she is a good and
pretty little actress. An effort is
being made which will in ali prob
ability be successful, to get the
company to play here a week at
popular prices. Miss Frost makes
a charming Galetea in that popular
(day.
“Will the‘Little Tycoon’ be re
produced?” asked a reporter yes
terday, of one who took a promi
nent part before.
“I think it will undoubtedly, and
at an early date,” was the reply.
“Ail seem anxious to see it again
aud it will be a pleasure to the par
ticipants. We have talked it over,
aud you may say the people will
have an opportunity to see it again
in not many weeks.”
“I hear it rumored,” said a Lee-
ton citizen yesterday, that some of
the Ohioaus are going to purchase
our street railway. I don’t care
whether they do or not, just so
somebody starts the ears again, but
for goodness sake give us another
chanue to ride.
“I never knew what a luxury
street cars were before, and If
President Felder will only put
them on again I will bless him the
r“st of my days.”
Notwithstanding our large sales, we find that we have yet in stock
a good assortment of all styles—new and seasonable goods—which we
would like to reduce to make room for our Spring purchases.
Our stock of Clothing is so complete that we feel satisfied that we
can suit any and all in style, size, fit aud price, and if nothing else will
do you we have a fine liue of samples and will have you a suit made to
order.
Our stock of Shoes iu the largest iu the city, embracing all the best
makes, and we are determined that they shall be sold," if good quality
and low prices will sell thegcods.
Our stock of Furnishing Goods embraces all the latest styles in
neckwear, handkerchiefs, underwear, gloves, gents jewelry aud all the
accessories of the toilet.
