«s joined by Mr. C C. Ilawk-
it td the factory, and also a
he board of the Manufactur-
iiprovcment Company, and
;ind Lawson .Stapleton, diiec-
itrnituro factory,
use shops of this concern
ed in detail: and it is a fact
the great progress made by
this city hi the. past year, that very few
of the party had any exact idea of the
magnitude of this enterprise, several of
them having never been through the
works at all. Brest. C. C. Hawkins
chaperoned the party, and explained to
them the methods of this big industry.
First, the basement was inspected, with
its shaftings, pulleys and belts, and the
long lines of tin pipes which conveyed
the shavings, under a heavy blast, from
the various machines above to the fur
nace of the 100-horse power engine that
supplied the motive power.
Then tiro first floor was inspected,
with its numerous and complicated
wood-working machines, carrying the
oak, walnut and ash timber through all
the processes of preparation for bed
steads, bureaus, wash-stands and tables.
Then the adjacent building, the
farthest one north, was next inspected,
whore arc situated the polishing, grain
ing, paintihg and varnishing depart
ments upstairs; and the storage, pack
ing and shipping departments below.
The stock carried is one of the largest
of any business or industry in this sec
tion of Georgia, and it would surprise
anybody to see the vast quantities of
goods made and shipped day by day.
The next point visited was the Iron
Works, tho extensive shops of which
were as carefully gone through, and all
details looked into. Tho moulding de
partment was in tho midst of prepara
tion for casting to-day, and a busy scene
was presented as the skilled workmen
prepared tho matrices in the boxes for
the molten iron that is to run into them
to-day.
The machine shops, w ith their pon
derous lathes, hammers, engines and
otlnr machinery were next passed in
review, followed by an examination of
the Sawyer gin department, and pattern
shops.
Then, after all had taken a drink of
artesian water—the party again wont
to their carriages, for an inspection of
some of the north side industries.
The shops of the Americus Construc
tion Company were invaded, and not
withstanding General Manager Crawford
Wheatley professed to be paralyzed by
the presence of so august a delegation,
he did most successfully and gracefully
the honors as chaperone, through the
various departments of his works, from
the planers, saws ami lathes through the
yards and drying and storage houses
adjacent.
Thence the party went to the water
works, and drank copiously once more—
of artesian water—examining the cis
terns, wells, pumps, etc.
Thence a portion of the party visited
the factory of the Americus Refrige
rating Company, where they were shown
through by the superintendent, and the
processes explained.
It is a fact that the liveliest sur
prise was manifested by these gentlemen
as detail after detail of these various
new enterpiscs of Americus, the growth
of the past year, were laid before them,
and the magnitude ami value made ap
parent to their investigating eyes.
While all were aware, in a general
way, of the existence of these enter
prises, and especially tho first two vis
ited, in which tho Improvement and
Manufacturing Company has consider
able stock, it required just such a tour
as this to show the true inwardness of
thoso big enterprises to the directors,
and satisilcd them that they had
invested wisely.

With the Constitution.
Mr. James Callaway, for years travel
ing agent of tho Macon Telegraph, is
now connected with the Atlanta Consti
tution in that capacity.
Mr. Callaway is an earnest and ener
getic worker and on intelligent gentle
man.
His special territory will he central
and southwest Georgia, and the people
of that section will no doubt see a great
deal of him in his travels for the Con
stitution, which, with its constant im
provements, will be worthy of anytldng
that Mr. Callaway has to say about it.
The lactic acid it contains acts on the
whole digestive system, while as food it
has already undergone a semi-digestion
in the churning to which it has been
subjected. Physicians are every day in-
cieasing the amount of it that they pre
scribe for their patients, and in case of
liver aud kidney diseases it is invaluable.
Instances are numerous of persons af
flicted with Bright’s disease living for
many years in comparative comfort with
no other medicine than a daily supply of
buttermilk.

the fororaost and finest whiskies placed
before tho American public. Like every
articlo of fineness it caters not for the

key tastes but little different from an
other, but for the appreciation of tho
connoisseurs only. It is in short, a gen

Civil Service Examinations.
Ah there has been much inquiry in
Americus about the civil service exami-

tho following places and dates for the
holding of such examinations are given
for the year 1891: Montgomery, Ala.,
September 28; Atlanta, Ga., October -I;
Savannah, Ga., October 13; Macon, Ga.,
October 17. The civil service examina
tions aro altogether non-political. No

A Kc-ul Estate Deal.
Mr. B. n. Jossey bought the Clark
House yesterday. This is a valuable
piece of property, and when it is under
stood that the gentleman mado the pur
chase for an investment it shows that he
has faith in Americu? investments. The
Clark House is on the corner of Prince
and Lamar streets, and is splendidly
located for a boarding house. The price
paid was not learned. Mr. Jossey knows
a good thing when he sees it, and doubt
less has a bargain.
