THE AMEKICLS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1891.
WILL LIMIT THEM.
THE CENTRAL ROAD HAS PROMISED
AMERICUS
A New anti Importing Depot—If the Prom
ise Is not Fulfil ed the Itiiilroad Com
mission Will Show Its Hand mid Opel
the Jack Pot,
Xew depot!
That’s the way it’s spelt!
A promise that must be fulfilled!
When the Railroad Commission of
Georgia meets again, unless a certain
promise is kept, you can expect to hear
something drop, and when you do keep
your eye on the Central depot.
Our citizens all recall the petition
lent from Americus to the Railroad Com
mission of Georgia, and also recollect
that it contained the autographs of our
most prominent citizens.
Now here’s a bit of history!
When that petition was presented to<
the board of railroad commissioners it
was determined by them first to ascer
tain the purposo and intention of the
Central road regarding the erection of a
new depot before they took decisive
and final action.
The hoard fully appreciates Americus’
need of the depot, and they are resolved
that she shall have better accommoda
tions.
Notice that a petition had been filed
asking for more suitable depot facilities
was sent to Supt. V. E. McBee, of the
Central road, with the request that he
give it his earnest consideration.
This Supt. McBee did.
By return mail he informed the hoard
of commissioners that it was the pur
pose of the Central railroad officials to
erect a depot, one that would answer all
the requirements of Americus as its
present stage of growth, and one that
would make provisions for her future
expansion.
This communication was received only
a short time since, and the superintend
ent promised to commence the erection
of the now depot as soon as the bustle
and confusion of the Decomber election
is over.
First it is necessary for the Central’s
authorities to confer with the mayor and
board of aldermen regarding the site and
other preliminaries, and the magnitude
of the structure.
Suppose, like pie crust, the Central’s
promise is made to be broken.
“What can Americus do?” is the nat
ural query.
That is readily answered.
Judgo Allen Fort was seen yesterday
by a Times-Kecorder reporter who
sprung the same point.
“Well, in event of that,” said the
Judgo, “the remedy is very simple and
effective. The railroad commission will
simply draw the statute of limitation on
them and tho depot will be built. That’s
the milk in tho cocoanut ”
“Will it be done beforo February?”
“Tho railroad commissioners will
not meet again before the Christmas
holidays, but as soon as they do, the en
tire matter will be sifted by them. It is
in} belief, however, that the Central in
tends to build tho depot and that right
early.”
Superintendent McBee has committed
the road to the depot aud you can put it
in your plpo and smoko it that Americus
“is in it,” and that too by a hugo
majority.

There was a marriage that was solem
nized In Barnett, Warren county, Wed
nesday, that i.s of unusual interest to
Americus, since one of her most popular
young men entered the fraternity of
Benedicts.
On Wednesday, Mr. C. R. Smith, an
employe at the store of Borum & Daven
port, left ostensibly to visit Washington,
but he went on a tender mission, for be
fore his return he had pledged his vows
at Hymen’s altar, and returned at eleven
o’clock Wednesday night to Americus
with his bride, Miss Maud Battle, of
Barnett, Warren county, a very accom
plished and attractive young lady.
Mr. Smith boards at Mr. L. B. Ritter’s
and somewhat electritied the inmates of
the house by introducing to them his
wife, since they had no intimation that
I13 had brought back with him a better
half.
The TiMK$»-iiKcoitiiKii extends to Mr.
ami Mrs. Smith its cordial congratula
tions and invokes for them the choicest
blessings of life.

Kept up
for years—the offer that’s made by
tho proprietors of Dr. Sage’s Ca
tarrh Remedy. It’s addressed to
you, if you have Catarrh. It’s a
reward of $500, if they can’t cure
you, no matter how bad /our case,
or of how long standing—an offer
that’s made in good faith by re
sponsible men.
Think what it means I Absolute
confidence in their Remedy, or they
couldn’t afford to take the risk. A
long record of perfect and perma
nent cures of the worst cases—or
they couldn’t liavo faith in it. It
means no inoro catarrh—or $500.
If you fail to be cured, you won’t
fail to be paid.
But perhaps you won’t believe it.
Then tnere’s another reason for try
ing it. Show that you can’t b»
cured, and you’ll get $500. It’s a
plain business offer. The makers
of Dr. Sago’s Catarrh Remedy will
pay you that amount if they can’t
cure you. They know that they
can—you think that they can’t. If
they’re wrong, you get the cash. If
you’re wrong, you’re rid of catarrh.
