THE 4MERICUS WEEKLY^TIMEIS-RECUKDER: FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1900.
SPECIAL AGENT WAS DELATED.
"Why Delivery System Has Not Been
Established Here.
The three delivery routes laid out iu
Sumter county will be established just
as soon as a special agent of the Post-
offco Department can come to Ameri
cas and inspect same in accordance
With the usual requirements, and this
may be done within a few days.
Illness has prevented the coming of
the agent ordered to this territory.
tjuite recently Postmaster Smith
wrote to Congressman Lewis in regard
to the delay, the service having been
promised several weeks ago, and in
reply he encloses the following letters:
The first is from A. W. Machen, su
perintendent of freo delivery, in reply
to a letter of inquiry from Mr. Lewis
and is as follows:
Washington, June 2l) —Hon. E. D.
Lewis, M. G., Montezuma, Ga.—Dear
Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of
the 22nd instant urging that a special
agent be sent to Americus, ffa. to in
vestigate the establishment of the rural
service petitioned for that oilice. In
roply I beg to inform you that a spec
ial agent was detailed for duty in your
district, but was taken ill and was
obliged to return; he has been in the
hospital for some weeks, but it ii
hoped that he will soon be able to re
same. Very Itespectfnlly,
A. W. Machen,
Snpt. Tree Delivery.
In reply to the above communication
of Snpt, Machen, M*. Lewis addressed
him the following letter regarding the
matter
Montezuma, Oa., June 28tb, 19U0.
AN IMFKOVEM ENT IN BUSINESS.
Hon. A. W. Machen, Supt. Freo De
livery, Washington, D. O.-Dear Sir:—
Tour letter of the 2Hth instant received.
I was awaro of the illness of the special
agent, and had been for some, and my
sympathies are with^him, bnt the peo
ple of Americas are impatient, and in
case he does not recover his health
shortly, then I insist that you send
another agent. Yours truly,
E. B. Lewis, M. C,
From the above correspondence it
will be seen that Mr. Lewis is using
his best efforts to have the free rural
mail service established, and that the
delay has been due to no fault upon
his part. Postmaster Smith hopes that
all of the three routes suggested by
him will soon bo fully established.
In the moanwhile Mr. Lewis will
hurry np matters as much as possible.

Americus Merchants Not Complain
ing of Summer Dullness.
\\ bile it is not nnnsnal to complain
of dull business at this season of the
year, as the long summer comes on,
Americus merchants have no reason to
cry hard times this year, as trade in
every line is fully up to the average
and satisfactory withal. It is said to
be much better than last year.
This is the opinion of business men
in a position to know the facts.
Two of these, among the most prom
inent retail merchants in Amerious,
and in different linos of bnsinesss, told
the Times-Itecorder yesterday that
trade was very good.
As compared with last year, each
bouse was doing a much larger volume
of business The cash trade is better,
while the volume of out-of-town cus
tom has largely increased. Ouo of
theso houses, it is said, will very largo-
ly ipcrcase its stock shortly.
What is true of these two houses is
true of many others.
But whilo trade is quite satisfactory
now, Americus merchants look forward
to a magnificent fall business- the best
in years—and are going to bay goods
accordingly.
The trndo territory of Americus is
increasing, and with the prospect of
fine crops this year and the general
prosperity of the country our buBinoss
men feel assured that even better
times will come with the harvest sea.
son. And they will be ready to take
tho flood tide.
Indeed, this will be a record year in
Americus from a business standpoint.

SHOULD SHARE THE PROCEEDS
Of Office of Court Clerk With the
Cheney family.
The death cf Mr. W. E. Cheney, of
Ellnville, has caused much sorrow in
his county. Mr. Cheney was very
popular, and his recent nomination for
clerk of tho superior court of his coun
ty was truly a compliment to bo prond
of. Now that this good man has been
removed before he could enjoy any of
the emoluments of the office for which
ho mado a hard fight, it would socm
the graceful and magnanimous thing
for some worthy man to offer for this
office with the idea of dividing the
proceeds of same with tho devoted
wife and little children of the deceased.
The Times-Itecorder believes this is
just what tho good people of Schloy
and Ellaville will come together and
do. Surely the plan is feasible and
proper.
TROOPS GOING FOR AN OUTING.
TWENTT BUSHELS IS PROMISED.
Sumter's Faimers Count Upon a Great
Corn Crop-
While the recent rains have imperil
ed the cotton crop here to a consider
able extent they have already assured
a magnificent corn crop, perhaps the
best grown in Sumter county in ten
years. Farmers from different sections
of the country in Americus yesterday
spoke enthusiastically of tbo com crop
which, they ray, is practically made.
On rich lands the yield may be from
twenty,fiye to forty bnshels per acre,
while twenty bushels may safely be
counted upon as the geueral averago.
Everywhere in Ihe county flue fields of
corn may he seem, and the harvest this
year will he abundant.

Annual Encampment at Cumberland

Tho Americas soldier boys anticipate
with greatest interest the approaching

two weeks hence. The entire Fourth
Regiment is going, and of course the
Americas Light Infantry will be there
to enjoy the annnal outing. The com-
pany will go about the 15th iust., aud
a number of frionds, including several
ladies, are going as well. Tho com
pany will spend a week on the island
and tho outing will be a delightful one
indeed.
Pond Drained and Fine Fish Caught
By Bushels
Mr. G. D. Hays, residing two miles
east of Americus, drained a small fish
pond near hiB home a few days ago and
then proceeded to pick np bushels of
fine fish. Magnificent trout weighiug
Six to eight poands were plentiful,
while a few very large carp, some of
them weighing is pounds, were found
as well. Nearly two bushels of fiou
bream were picked up in tho shallow
water. The dam was then repaired,
and the little pond will soon team with
fish again.

Wedding.
It is contrary to the rules of the
courthouse contingent, it would seem,
to tie the knot of negro couples seek
ing matrimonial bliss until the dollar
rises above the horizon of the happy
groom’s jeans, but Connty Judge
Crisp broke the backbone of the
"trast” yesterday. He had sent vari
ous ones to the ebaingang, bnt never
before had be consigned two negroes
to this fate and the chance to thus get
a whack at Cupid, or Mars, ob the case
may be, was not to be resisted. The
chess games stopped for two minutes,
and the players and loungers were
gracefally bunched for the ordeal. The
groom spit out his tobacco and ans
wored every demand in a voice of com
ploto resignation, while the bride
jerked ont her responses like a calf
kicking at a gadfly. When tho drop
fell and Judge Crisp demanded that
the groom salute tho brido the oscilla
tory concussion woke up tho sleeping
janitor and cracked the plastering over
head. Watermelons, cake aud sardines
made np the wedding menu ten min
utes later.
aud the fact that the loving twain were
thousands of miles apart when the
nnptial knot was tied adds a tinge of
romance to the affair. The groom re
sides iu Colorado, where he now is,
while the bride was here when she be
came his wife. Engaged for quite
awhile, both fondly anticipated the

however, the gentleman was taken bo-

contract wus sent to Georgia, aad the
bride chauged her name to his when
she signed the document. She is now

band, and her bright smiles and ca
resses will soon restore him to perfect
health again.
