THE AMERICUS WEEKLY
TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, JUNE 24,
FINE FURNISHING.
HOW THE WINDSOR LOOKS ON THE
INSIDE.
BI. nidi & Bros., of Atlanta,
Magnltlcont Work—A Short
Beautiful Things in the Var!
IiOvely Furniture of All Ki
Is.
The Hotel Windsor is simply the most
elegantly furnished hostelry in the south.
So say all who have seen it, and Mr.
H. T. Craft, who has been supeiintend
ing the drapery work and the carpet lay
ing and the putting in of the furniture,
echoes the sentiment.
Mr. Croft is head man for this sort of
work of the well known firm of M. llick
A Bros., of Atlanta, who were given the
contract for furnishing the hotel.
Now that the work is all done, the
hotel people mere than ever appreciate
the wisdom of their choice, and M. Rich
«t Bros, have added greatly to their al
ready splendid reputation in this section.
The work is perfect, and from all who
have been through the building come
plaudits of the highest kind for all con
nected with choosing and furnishing
and putting in place the materials.
Yesterday Mr. Craft was seen at the
Windsor by a Times-Recokiieh reporter,
and asked about the work.
“Come go with me,” said he, “and
let me point out some of the things.”
From the office he led the way up the
stairway The first part of the work
done by Hich Bros, that struck his eye,
was the covering for the stairs. It is
the very best kind in use, and consists
of corrugated rubber with brass noos-
ings.
Tiic stairway leads to the arcade on
the llrst lloor, and here the tloor is cow
ered by an exceedingly handsome Wil
ton velvet carpet, in which the predomi
nating color Is red with gold figures.
The border is broad and in It gold pro-
dominates.
“Look at this floor,” said Mr. Craft as
he led the way into tho dining room
“It’s simply perfect for a dining room
floor. It's of the llncst inlaid lineidtim
of tile pattern, as you sec,”
In the dining room are six large win
dows, each contaiuing three smaller
ones. They are draped overhead with
linen vallour, material of terra cotta
and olive.with a heavy fringe to match.
There are cream Holland shades cover
ing the windows. Sash curtains of the
finest muslin,{all heavily fringe^, are ar-
'tlstlcally looped back, tho total object
boing most softening and pleasing to the
eye.
The ladies ordinary and reading room
adjoins the dining room. It is hand
somely furnished with a blue velvet
carpet with gold llgurcs. and a border of
gold. Tho five windows are draped in
the very latest fashion with lace and
sash curtains.
From this room to the parlor is but a
few steps across the arcade. The en
trance is made through a high arch,
prettily bung with salmon color vallour
drapery. Just inside you see as pretty
an effect of blending colors artistically
arranged and of the handsomest, most
elegant material as can be found In any
parlor In the state. The room Is large,
and Is entered from two balls through
two large arches, A fine bay window
sets between two other windows, all of
which open on the front portico.
“All In here,” said Mr. Craft, was
furnisbedjand put In place by Rich
Bros , excepting the piano."
The room is finished In delicate pink
and blue. The carpet an elegant
Mouquette of the latest shade
and design. The ground is of
cream, and the lightly woven figures of
pink and blue create a perfect harmony
with the rest of the room. The bay
window is draped with Irish point lace
looped back with floe silk bangings,
hung from heavy brass poles. The
dividing arch between the bay window
and the room proper shows the lovely,
perfect folds, most artistically made, of
handsome Rougetton silk, bringing out
the colors of pea green andjsidmon, man
ufactured expressly for this purpose.
The other windows are hung with Irish
point, lace with silk draperies overhead.
The walls are hung with fine engravings
and etching. In a corner standsan easel
etching, with a silk scarf draping. A
handsome onyx table stands In the bay
window, on which is a bronze statue of
Americus Vespucius, In the center of
the room Is a magnificent oak table,
handsomely carved, and with massive
legs of the latest designs. Resides
chairs in gold and white there are live
large and heavy overstuffed chairs and
sofas of the finest silk Brockatelle, and
about the rooms are scattered several
fur rugs of the most magnificent pat
tern. The colors in the room fall with
soft harmony upon the eye, and not a
discordant note bursts from the lovely
symphonetic creation.
Leaving the parlor you pats under an
arch of white and gold drapery, then
cross a hall carpeted like the arcade and
enter the reception room of the bridal
suite. This room is round and is a per
fect maze of white and gold. A hand
some Axminister carpet, that gives with
every step, shows a cream ground tinted
with blue and gold. The four windows
show heavy silk overhead drapery
fringed with white and gold and looped
back in perfect folds of the newest de-
sign. Heavy Tambeau lace falls
gracefully, oream Holland shades
cover the windows, and heavy sash
curtains are drawn back to
the sides. Chairs and settees
of white and gold are In place and hand
some rugs are scattered about in great
profusion. Appropriate pictures in
pastelle work adorn the walls.
Space forbids more detailed descrip
tion. The bed chamber is a dream of
love and loveliness. The body Brussels
carpet of pinkish line is sprayed with
blue, and shows a handsome wide bor
der varying in color from a light blue to
a darker hue.
The windows hung in pink and blue of
the latest fag curtains of Arabesque
swiss. The furniture is light, with an
elegant maple dresser. The bed, the
latest touch in brass, draped in blue and
pink with graceful silk loops. It's a
perfect dream, as it were, and the bridal
etfect is heightened by lovely pictures
on the walls, in which cupids predomi
nate in mischievous play.
And then the countless balls carpeted
magnificently, the scores of rooms fur
nished elegantly, all too numerous to
mention.

A .TINGLING JUMBLE
OF SHORT, SPICY AND SEASONABLE
EYE-OPENERS.
-IKCIIANTS BEAT.
A <ir

Yesterday Afternoon.
The Sam men and the merchants
played ball yesterday afternoon, and a
large and enthusiastic crowd witnessed
tho game.
The merchants beat by a score of 1
to !>.
In spite of the large score it was :
good game, and all who witnessed it
were kept excited.
The game started out with the Sam
men in the lead, and for a couple of inn
ings it looked as if they would win.
Then a heavy shower came up and for
nearly half an hour the rain fell heavily.
When the game was called again there
were puddles of water in the pitcher’s
box, at the bases, along the lines, and
the grass was dripping with water. The
boys were all anxious to play, however,
and they did play. The halls soon be
came wet and soggy and the pitchers
had a hard time.
It gave the batters a great advantage,
and they took it. The ball was batted
all over the field, and the fielders, oil ac
count of tho wet ground, made many
errors.
This is what piled up the score, and
made so many runs.
There were enthusiastic admirers of
both sides, and the cheering was great
at every point. A majority of the ladies
seemed to he for the Sam, and they did
their best for their side.
Every few minutes they would break
out with their yell:
“Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Reel
Sam we are! Sam ate we!”
But it did uo good. The morcliauts
played better with each Inning, and
wound up tho game by the score men
tioned above.

A POLITICAL COINCIDENCE.
A majority of the national Republican
committee wero opposed to the renomi
nation of Harrison, and a majority of tho
national Democratic committee are op
posed to Cleveland. The men who have
been regarded as the bosses of the Re
publican party are not now in sympathy
with Harrison even after his nomina
tion, and some of the acknowledged
leaders of the Democratic party would
not be In full sympathy with Cleveland
should he be nominated. The tempo
rary chairman of the Minneapolis con
vention was an opponent of Harrison
and the friend of Blaine, but Blaine was
defeated. The temporary chairman of
the Chicago convention is not regarded
as a Cleveland advocate. Fasaett was
elected temporary chairman at Minneap
olis without opposition from the Harri-
sonlans, and Owens was made temporary
chairman at Chicago without a dissent
ing volee from the Clevelandites. Thus
far the two conventions run In parallel
lines. Harrison was nominated by an
overwhelming majority. It seem prob
able that Cleveland will share a like for
tune.—Macon Telegraph.
UAVIll AND GOLIAU.
And the Uou. Clark Howell girded his
sword upon Lis armour and essayed to

“I’ll smite thee—see If I don’t.”
And the Hon. Clark Howell smote the

Obituary.
Miss Minnie C. Tinsley was born in
Clay county, Ga., August 24, 1873, and
died at her home in Sumter county, Ga.
June 8, 1892.
Death came and found her ready. She
joined the Methodist church at Mt,
Zion in Sumter county in 1883, aud hav
ing experienced a change of heart, aud
having God* spirit to bear witness with
her spirit that she was His child, she
was enabled to pass, without murmur*
ing, through the long and weary months
of her confinement to her r«»om, and
until Jesus seat the angels for her to take
I her home to heaven. She never gave her
parents trouble, but was always obedient
to them and her teachers, never having
to be corrected by them She was gentle
and loviDg to her sisters and brothers,
kind to all, self-sacrificing, and worked
for the pleasure of others more than for
her own.
When the writer hade her farewell a
few days before her death, he knew he
would never see her again elsewhere
than at God’s right hand in Heaven, for
he was sure that she would be there.
Modest, unostentatious, of a meek and
quiet spirit, chaste in thought and pure
in life, it is no wonder that there was
such a concourse of people as has rarely
been seen at old Benevolence church to
bear witness by their presence to the in
fluence and power of a life of unselfish
ness, innocence and purity.
The white robes that gathered their
folds about her, and the flowers of pure
white that loving hands placed upon her
grave were lit emblems of the character
and purity of that spirit which had gone
to live with the good in the realms of
eternal day. J. W. Connors.

secretary of state in case the next ad
ministration is democratic.
Representative nitt, the leading re

said to-day that Mr. Blount was fre

that he would admirably grace the posi
