Such is the drift of rumors and inci dents, giving them the color of fact and lias fallen short of last year two-flftbs; Of the Basis to Which the Agricultural In terests of Putnam Hus Boon Reduced. Putnam, Ga., November 25.—Farm ers are about through gathering and some are sowing grain. The year’s operations will prove any thing but satisfactory to a majority of the farmers throughout this part of Ma rion and Schley counties. From a care ful esUmate of the crops of some of the best farmers we know, we find, taking them as an average, that the cotton orop the prices of all goods. I Xow is the time to buy your I suits, either for Men, Youths |or Children, as we will show I you prices never before seen Americus. Our great sale of now in progress, and hope to close out the entire stock by January ist, if low prices on good goods consti tute any attraction. We have had an immense trade the past week in Over coats, but in consequence of new arrivals in this deparment, we are still prepared to offer you a stock that cannot be equaled in variety, and at prices that you will be sure to find agreeable to the times. We have some special at tractions in WITH AHI WITHOUT GAPES. We want to close out a big lot of these before removal,and will offer at prices that will be sure to move them rapidly, bring on the boys and fix them up. It is predicted that we are to have an unusually severe winter, so I give you good advice: Take care of the boys’ comfort and save big doctor's bills. ‘‘An ounce of prevention is worth about a ton of cure. Remember we are closing out several lines of with rumors that a deal had been effect ed between the officials of the Sam road and the L. and N. by which the lattor promises or contracts to finish the six ty-live miles gap between Lyons and Savannah, landing tho road within the corporate limits of the latter place. A Timks-Rkcohukii reporter tackled one of tho authorities of tJ,o Sam road, but he neither confirmed or denied tho truth of the rumors, thereby strengthen ing tho belief that the rumors are true. It is 8piondid nows for Amoricus and means ronewod growtli and bounding prosperity. It will quicken the current in every artory of commerce and insure success to every industry and invito new enterprises, multiplying their prospects of a thrifty business. In speaking of tho rumors a special from Savannah says “The news that the Savannah, Ameri cus & Montgomery had, or is arranging to combine with the Louisville & Nash ville system, created much talk in Sa vannah to-day. The Louisville & Nash ville has long been quietly seeking an outlot on the Atlantic coast, and it has been well-known that the deep water agitators hero had attracted and held tho attention of the Louisvillo & Nash ville people. At Montgomery, the Louis ville & Nashville, through its own lines, has splendid connections, and that point is one of the terminals of the Savannah, Americus & Montgomery. By building about sixty miles of road the latter line will reacii Savannah over an indepen dent route, and acting in concert with the Louisville & Nashville would give the great system entrance to. Savannah and afford it one of tho finest ports in tho country. The row between the the Savannah, Americus & Montgomery and the Richmond & Danville, the desire for a port by the Louisville & Nashville, and the easy manner in which it can be obtained through an arrangement be tween these roads, gives color to the news of a probable combination. If the combination is made and the Savannah, Americus & Montgomery builds into Savannah, it will bo able not only to offer the shortest route to Montgomery, but also a direct route to many promi nent Southern and Western points, giv ing Savannah the advantage of strong competition to many places. This will relievo the city to a great extent of its dependence upon the present systems onterlng hero, and cannot fail to be bon- oflcial in a business way Business men aro woll pleased witli tho prospects that the reports indicate.” While skating I sprained my right arm so severely that it was impossible to use it.

Mr. R. II. Slappey, who resides about eight miles from Americus, tells a pa- thotlo story of the utter destitution of the negroes residing In that vicinity. Ue says: “They are In such reduced oiroum- sUnces that they are forced to hunt rab bits to keep the wolf from their door. This sUte of affairs is the result of the low price of cotton and farm producU, and the fact that everything was swal lowed up to pay their debts. They have a dreary winter ahead unless they find relief." Now Try This. It will cost you nothing and will surely do you good, if you have a Cough, Cold, or any trouble with Throat, Chest or Lungs.

Up to twelve months ago It was generally con ceded that the farmers were in a better financial standing than they had been for years; but now everything indicates that this era of prosperity has changed. We believe that there has generally been made throughout the section sup plies enough to run the farmers another year, but tlieso are unevenly distributed, some being bountifully supplied while others have none. This latter class, too generally, arc heavily pressed with dobt. Every day without hardly an excep tion, something is sold for debt, at one or the other surrounding precincts. These sales though, are being kept up by the tenant and renter, but they have continued till this class are almost desti tute, being without anything to eat, and but few jobs being offered by which they can earn a support. Everywhere the creditor is pressing liis claim. Everybody seems to have lost confidence in everybody else. This lack of confidence, unless re-established, promises for the ensuing year to be quite detrimental to tho farming intorest. Ev ery muscle and fiber of the financial system is strained to its utmost tension, and no mistake. But it Is feared the worst is yet ahead. Hundreds of farmers have their lands undor mortgages to the loan agen cies, and many of these will be maturing during the next twelve months; and, as these agencies believe tho opposition their business mot in the last legislature aro the feelings of the people, and fear legislation by the next general assembly that will make it impossible to do busi ness in tho state, lias made several of these companies decide to mako no fur ther loans and to close out their business as fast as the mortgages mature. The effect of these decisions have already been felt, and if the loans aro not ex tended, the next two years will throw many farmers without homes. But the lien on politics has not been foreclosed. People find time and some times consider it a recreation to talk politics. The third party advocates who used to run for office on the demo cratic ticket, and somo of them ran in the last elections, and are still wanting office, when the sonsation first came about gave the war whoop, rushed to the platform and cried down with dem ocracy—well wo guess they’ve “gone west” looking for an opening for an office. But there onough left, every one of whom (?) ure democrats, to discuss, and some times to “oust" and “recuss” sub- treasury, Ocala platform, our enemies, Some times a follow gets enthusi astic on subjects of minor importance, like the tariff or the speakership, but he is generally eclipsed by some free silver advocate. Of course, all this talk is ex pected to develop something, and up here it has developed some of the possi bilities for the future. Already three legislative possibilities, it is affirmed, are peeping from behind the screen. One a talented young farmer, another a far mer of more mature years, while the third is an old-timer in politics; and all belong to the Farmers’ Alliance, and all more or less are figuring prominently in the county affairs. The other businesses and professions in Sohley county are to be heard from. Over in Marion the frionds of the prom inent tub-AUisnee president are quietly feeling the publio pulse to find what will be the obances of their man to go to the legislature next time. SHOT FIVE TIMES. A, FATAL TRAGEDY IN BUENA VISTA YESTERDAY. The City Marshal and Mr. R. E. Bnttl Be come Involved In n Serious Frey YVhlch Basalts In Untie' Death—Shot Five Times —In Hot Pursuit With an Open Knife. Buena Vista, Ga., November 21 [Special ]—A. B. Jackson, marshal, shot and instantly killed R. E. Butt this after noon at 2 o'clock. Butt was standing In front of Hair & Crawford’s store when Jackson ca no up the street. Butt ran quickly into a butcher shop next door, seised a large knite and ran after Jackson, wiio ran around the cor ner, with Butt close after him. Jackson fired fivo shots, four of tviiicli took effect—one in the neck and tlireo in the center of the abdomon, within an inch of each other. Butt ran a few steps and fell, where he died in a few minutes. Tito origin of the trouble was last Saturday night.' Butt wont into a saloon for a drink and being refused attempted to take it which brought on trouble with tho bar tender. The marshal was called iu and Butt at tempted to cut him, but ho was finally placed in the lockup. Butt remarked to tho marshal that his days were numbered, and more trouble was anticipated, which culminated to day in a tragedy. The affair is deeply doplored, as Butt was afflicted and JackBou is a clever and quiet citizen. Jackson acted entirely in Belf defense, according to the best information I can gather. Jackson was placed under ar rest at his bouso until after the action of tho coroner’s jury, which will bo late to-night boforo a verdict can be had.
