THE AMEK10US WEEKLY TiM^ KECOiiDLK: FRIDAY, OCTOBER BO, 1*‘.n. Fellow Citizens! Aliiaicemen! And Friends! Of Southwest Ga.: '.Vith’compliir.euts of the season we respectfully invite your attention to our IMMENSE LINE TO TIIF WOULD'S FAIR At Chlr ai ;o f„ n High Glade TAILOR-FITTING CLOTHING! FALL AND WINTER. Wo have outdone oursolves this season and excelled all previous attempts in placing before you rnoro attractions and exclusive Novelties in Clothing and Haber dashery. We carry .beyond a doubt (ami the most of you know it) the LARGEST STOCK of MEN’S and YOUTHS’ SUITS In this part of the state, and aro offering them at the very lowest prices. Call and oxamino those lines, as well as our complete assortment in Extra Sizes, Stouts and Slims, which, as ,to stylo and ’fit, cannot ho surpassed. JOHN R. SHAW, “THE CHAMPION” Oothier and Furnisher, 117 Forsyth St., AMERICUS, - GA. Seventy-Five (73e. Cent* Per Week. The word “Excursion” is ever coupled with bustle, jostle, jamming, confusion and all else attending a large crowd, with no head-center to prevent it The word “Club” carries with it privacy, or- der, perfect satisfaction and pleasure to all. The “Georgia Excursion Club” will be so conducted as to give the most studied quietude, privacy, and full rights and privileges to its subscribers, simply by taking time by the forelock, and hav ing in advance every requirement and contingency provided for. Each sub scriber, family or private party will be assigned seats and berths on a Dull man palace car, and the train, once in readi ness for departure, the excursionists will not be disturbed at any other station by passengers being placed amongst them. The places, or car assigned them will he theirs and theirs ouly, to the end of the trip, and the same on their return. In this way the Georgia Excursion Club will run from Atlanta, Ga., to Chi cago, Ill , Pullman palace cars to the World’s Fair from May 1st to October, 1808, including meals on the train, tirst- elass hotel accommodations din ing seven days’ visit to Chicago, admission to the fair grounds and transportation to and from your hotels to the fair grounds daily. Remember, the whole round trip, con ducting Pullman palace car club excur sions, for only seventy-five cents (75 cents) per week for 100 weeks, from .September 1st, 1801, to September 1st, ISO:’, The tour will require just ten days’ time, on the train and in Chicago. We propose a cheap and easy way to accomplish all this. But cheap only as to the rate for the round trip, and easy as to the mode of paying and amount, of our installments. All our expenditures will he princely, and if needs be the whole amount will and shall be expended to secure the full en joyment and entire satisfaction of our subscribers. Upon an installment of 75 cents per week for 100 weeks, so pa ; d that almost any one desiring to attend the great Co lumbian Exposition—the World’s Fair-— at Chicago, inay do so in a first class style, and in such a way as not to feel the cost of the otherwise expensive journey, and have none of the discom forts, almost unattainable by private parties, on such an occasion, and always unreasonably high at such a time, in a city crowded to over-flowing by persons from all quarters of the globe. To provide absolute security to the subscribers, and to guarantee that the contracts of the club will be carried out, has been the first care of the projectors. All moneys from subscribers will be deposited in the Capital City Hank, At lanta, Ga. Major T. II. Rlacknall, as business manager, alone can check out the money, and only for the legitimate purpose of defraying the expenses of the subscribers, as per our contract with them, after each amount has been sub mitted in an itemized account, and properly audited by the board of audit ors for the club, to-wit: Col. J. C. Court ney, Gen. A. T. Hawthorne, with Major John Y. Rankin, secretary. The Georgia Excursion Club consists of Major T. II. Rlacknall, business manager; Major J. C. Courtney, auditor and manager of transportation, and Major JoliaX Rankin, secretary. The attorneys 4br., the club are thr® well- know«d»li\flriii of Dorsey, Brewster & Howelv^f thVAtlanta bar. This will be a very enjoyable plan for say fifteen to twenty gemleraen, with their wives, who are acquainted and wish to visit the great fair and remain together. Or for schools; one or two teachers can take charge of twenty-five or thirty pupils or students, and be in the same car with them all the while on the train. Or for an order wishing to go and remain together, or any associa tion or military company. Wo can give them a Pullman palaco car for them selves exclusively, so the families will have a rare picnic indeed. The pupils and students will bo as safe as at homo or in the school room; the order as though they were in their own hall or lodge room; the military company as private as If in their own armory. Any religious order or association can bo as dovotional as in their own chapel, with nono to hinder, molest or make afraid. Young ladles with no attendant for the trip will bo met at the train by some one lady appointed by the club; It may be the wife of one of the officers of the club, who will take charge of her or any lady unattended, and chaperon all the ladles, excursionists to Chicago, be sides. On each train there will be an agent of the club to 8co that every reasonable want of the subscribers? Is attended to, and the lady chaperon above alluded to will see that all the ladies are made com- sortable, and will take special charge of your wife, your daughter, your sister, your mother or your ward, if you can not yourself attend them; thus enabling the husband, the fathor, the son, the brother or the guardian to send, with perfect assurance of safety, their ladies in advance of them, and they can follow later on, or not at all, as the case may be. Your baggage checks will be handed to the club baggage-master, and each piece of baggage will be sent at once to your rooms. This feature alone will save our subscribers much uneasiness, and guarantee to our lady subscribers perfect safety, promptness and care in handling their baggage, and the safe and immediate delivery of the same. Your letters anil telegrams willJbe taken charge of by the postmaster of our club if sent to the care of “The Georgia Excursion Club Rooms, Chicago, Ill.,” and delivered to the subscriber immediately upon the arrival of same. Now think for one moment how easy it is to secure a round trip ticket for all this round of pleasure to the grand World’s Fair. Simply by cutting down, leaving off or dispensing with some one or another of the very many luxuries or needless extravagancies of the day, or some imaginary want, and setting aside seventy-five cents per week, for one hun dred weeks. This will secure you the grand tour to and from the World’s Fair, and all the grand results that may follow. For this trip may restore the bloom of manhood to the cheek of the care-worn clerk, book-keeper or artist The vigor of former years to the aged father, bring back the life blood to the veins of a loving mother, restore the fast fading cheeks of a devoted wife or sister, and the trip will forever stamp indellibly truths, facts and mat tors of science and untold usefulness deep into the minds of the Inquiring the young and the old, and of pupils and students, thirsting for a knowledge of the world, and which it would require an age to acquire by lecture, from books or travel over the whole universe—all— all this now for the sum of seventy-five cents per week for the uext one hundred weeks. Now, from the fact your certificate is transferable, should a party move from the state, or is otherwise unable to pay up and out, the amount paid in is wc.l secured, and yonr certificate can be easi ly transferred to some one who will carry out your contract; and we believe, a paid-up certiticate will be worth a premium, for no one person, nor two, nor three can take .8100 for each one, and make the trip in the style and with atisfaetion we guarantee, to each sub- criber. We procure for our subscrib ers attentions and courtesies, and solid comforts, that money alone cannot pur chase on such occasions. A handsome club badge will bo pre sented to each subscriber. These club badges are beautiful aud chaste, aud such as any lady or gentleman inay wear. Messrs. Thompson & Anderson, the Hotel Windsor Jewelers, represent the Chicago Excursion Club here. Call on them and they will gladly furnish any information. Upon application at their store you will receive a pamphlet giving a full de scription of the scheme.
