The rumor Is afloat again that Col. 8.
11. Hawkins la arranging to eatend the
Sam road from I.yons to .Savannah. This
rumor, however, bae been started so
often, without enytblng ever resulting
to verify It thet people are loth to accept
the latest outbreak u worthy of much
consideration.
There may be some truth in it, though,
in view of the almost secret visit of Col.
Hawkins to the city lut work. He kept
out of sight as much ss possible, except
to certain business men, with whom be
had several consultations, and when ap-
roached ho declined to make any state
ments. lie Is expected here again in a
lay or two for further consultation with
the same business men.
Tito Sant road is now doing a very
prosperous business, ami its monthly
ports show its tlnancial condition to
lie splendid. Tho road is bringiug con-
tdernblu western freight hero by way
Montgomery, ami if It had an Inde
pendent lino Into the city this class of
freight would be largely Increased. Sam
in,Is are ill demand, hut nonu can be
found for salo.
With all theso conditions existing, the
atest rumor may turn out to bo more
than a rumor. A gentleman here who
attaint friend of Colonel Hawkins,
aim wuo was recently In Americus, said
yesterday that ho feels satislied that
Colonel Hawkins means business this
this time. “He Iras the money," aaid
the speaker, "he knowe as well as
any one that it Is absolutely necessary
for the Sam road to have Its own line
into Savannah, and he will have it here
la-fore many months. 1 feel safe in say
ing that Sam trains will be running into
Savannah over tho Sam road early in the
spring.”—Savannah News.
state School Commissioner llradwcll
will deliver an address at the city hall
Friday night. Don't fail to hear him.
So factor has been more potent
furnishing pleasure for the young people
the past year than the Americus Club.
The entertainments have in the main
been germans, and so successful and
pleasure-giving baa It been that the
members desire to extend sod Include
more of tbe older and married pepole.
The plan is fully and well set forth in
tbe following card:
Timks-Recokdkk—It is a deplorable
fact, but nevertbeieaa it is a fact, that
the married people of Araericua take
absolutely no interest In tbe social plea*'
urea of the young people. The Americus
Club has given a number of dances dur
ing the last year, and aa a rule it was
about all they could do to get one mar'
lied lady to he present aa chaperone
You can hear mothers say that they
don’t like for their daughters to attend
the dances unless they are chaperoned by
some well known married lady, but they
never feel called u|M>n to go themsclvos,
but rather shift the rcsjionsibility
upon some one else. 1 remember
seeing in your paper once a statement by
a young married lady that she would
like to goto.tlie entertainments, but that
the young people pay the married peo
ple no attention. This is simply because
so few of them go, and those that do go
at ail, go so seldom that they seem al
most like strangers. Again; those who
do not dance will not go becauro there
other amusement Ilian dancing
The Club has adopted measures, before
which this last excuse cannot stand.
We have rented the third floor of the
new post-office buildiog, and will move
in the first of September. Tbe room Is
well ventilated, haring windows all
around, and will ho divided up to that
there wilt be a reception room, two
dressing rooms, a card parlor, a smok
ing parlor, dancing hall and blllinrd
room. Wo will aubacrlbe for tbo daily
papers aud tho magazines, so that thoro
will be an abundance of good reading
matter.
When the elub gives an entertainment
those wbo do not danoe can read, play
billiards and pool, or have a game of
whist or progressive euchre or some
thing of that kind, and tbe gentlemen
can spend a pleasant evening there at
any time. Spirituous liquors and gamb
ling are strictly prohibited at all times.
We want every one of our married
friends to join the club, and this gives
them tbe privilege of inviting their lady
friends and ladies of their family to the
dab rooms at any time. There I* no
doubt but that if tbe married people
would get into the habit of coming out
to our entertainments and making them-
selves a part of society. It would be a
source of a great deal of pleasure to
them and also help to elevate the tone of
Americus society.

Xasiivii.i.k. Tt-nn., August 17.—Gov-
ernor Buchanan received a telegram
from Oliver Springs this afternoon stal
ing that tho troops there In chr.rgo of
Major Chandler and the guard* surren

The miners there burned the stockade.
The convicts to tho number of ninety-
live, are at Clinton In coal cars.
(Sovernor Buchanan at one ordered
them to be brought here.
Tlie board of prison Inspectors met

that they must certainly comply with
their lease in providing and canng for
the convicts, or steps would be taken
looking to the abrogation of the lease.
