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.

Elam Is at homo from New York, and has just opened a now importation of late styles of Bonnets, Round Ilats and Turbans, representing the choicest and most novel designs received this season. Also showing a very large collection of Dress and Suit Hats, in new' and exclusive styles, from the most fashionable im porting houses, and prices to suit all. She invites the ladies of Sumter and sur rounding counties to call and inspect her stock. Mrs. Elam never fails to suit her cus tomers. She is at the same old staud, Barlow Block, Jackson stieet. octl5*w:im 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. ATTENTION. HOUSEKEEPERS!

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. Bancroft Sued On I have for sale 400 bushels of these oats that parties will do well to got for tho next planting. Call on me at my house.
