THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1891.
II. C. OIIOM FAILS.
If thei
A mericu
Leesburg
II. C. od-.uu. a promine
merchant, has failed.
Tins was found out hv some few i»
Americus Thursday night, and iej»re
sentatives of creditors here were at mice
sent to that place.
From these it was ascertained that the
liahilitier amount to $30JMio, while Mr.
Odom claims $K»,1V00 assets.
There are two mortgages on the stock.
The first in the name of Hobbs & Tucker,
bankers of Albany, to the amount of
$11,000. $4,000 of this amount goes to
Hammond. IIill A Co., of Savannah.
The second mortgage amounts in all
to about $'.1,000. and is to s. H. Weston,
Albany, Rank of S.uithwesteiu Georgia.
of this place, and others.
Hobbs A Tucker also hold a bill of
sale to the still and othei property.
All the other creditors are unsecured.
Among them the heaviest losers an*
Moore, Marsh A Co., of Atlanta.
>. Waxelbanm, of Macon, $l.*-*00.
Ainericus gets oil light. The heaviest
creditor here is the Rank of South western
Georgia, secured as above mentioned.
The largest of the unsecured is the
Americas Groce iy Company, the amount
being $.'50o. The mhers are small, Bo-
rum, Davenport A Co. losing only $00,
and H. D. Watts about the same amount.
A few other still smaller debts are owed
by Odom to parties lu re.
In Americas, Macon and Atlanta
there arc about $4,000 unsecured.
Thus, while Americas does a big busi
ness there, the merchants get off light.
There is some talk of the creditors ef
fecting a compromise, and letting Mr.
Odom continue his business.
The failure is attributed to too many
outstanding accounts and the crowding
of some of the creditors, together with
the inability of Mr. Odom to borrow
more money. He states that with a
thousand or two more dollars to earvy '
him through the summer, he could have
gone on and made money.
Sin* Wiiiilo Her IViuloii.
e are any old soldiers in or near
s who served with Moses Mott,
of Schley county, in Sam Townslry's
comoany. Olth Georgia regiment, they
will confer a favor upon his widow. Mrs.
1.. K. Mott, by communicating the fact
to her at Kllavillc. C i.
Mr. Mott died many years ago from
wounds received in the service, and now
Mrs. Mott is anxious to establish the
tact that he was in the above named
command in order to receive the pen
sion to which she is entitled. There are
doubtless many old soldiers here who
will cheerfully furnish Mrs. Mott with
the desired information.
