4092 Jackson‘Street, - - - Americus, Qa,
Magnolia Dell wse the scene yester
day of the greatest picnio of the season,
the Macon party of five bnndred pic
nickers making merry beneath the
great magnolia trees or riding on the
placid waters of Mnckalee. It was In
deed a great occasion there.
And Americus was glad to have her
Macon friends and other visitors here
again, and extended all a very cordial
welcome.
The latohetring had been cat off and
the door left wide open.
It was the second annual picnio of
the Macon Betail Clerks’ Association
and, like the first one of a year ago, a
pronounced success. The oocasion was
thoronghly enjoyed.
The spsoial train of ten coaohes ar
rived here at 10:20 o’oloek. A large
delegation of citizens met the train at
the depot, where many of the exoar-
sioniBts debarked and came np to the
olty. The train then proceeded to the
dell, a half mile away.
There the addresses of welcome and
response followed.
Upon behalf of Americas, Assistant
City Clerk E. A. Niebet welcomed the
visitors, while by happy ooinoidence
the Maconites called upon Mr. John
W. Niabet of Maeon, a brother of onr
ownEngemns, to make eloquent reply.
Both speakers were very happy in
their remarks, and both addresses were
roundly applauded.
This formality over with, Card's band
struck np a spirited march and the
many dancers made way to the big
pavilion to again worship at the shrine
of Terpsichore.
While the weather was close and op
pressive, it did not not rain this time,
as on the former oocasion.
A sumptnous dinner was served at
noon. The city authorities dispensed
ice water and lemonade free and in the
greatest abundance. The excursionists
returned at 0 p. m., pleased with their
day’s onting. And Americas will al
ways welcome them here.
This Couple Wanted to Marry In
Hurry.
If a couple succeeded in getting
married in Americas a night or two
ago'a certain gentleman who was ap
pealed to for assistance to this end
wonld like to know of it, as would sev
eral others interested.
If they did not marry it was no fault
of the expeotant groom.
The story is fresooed with a tinge of
romance and is told as follows by the
gentleman, a traveler, to whom the
secret was confided.
Ho had jnst boarded a hack near
one of the hotels, when be noticed a
yonng man and yonng woman stand
ing in the shadow of the bnilding and
in animated conversation. The young
man came oat to the hack.
He desired to engage it, bnt the 00-
enpant, who was anxious to catoh a
train, wonld not give wav. No other
hack was at hand, and the yonng man
bronght his eloquence into play.
The story was that the proposed
marriage must be consummated in
haste, though for what reason ho did
not state. Would not the gentleman,
nnder these pressing oireumstanees
give way and hasten the nuptials.
Under ordinary circumstances hi
wonld readily have helped Cupid.
But his train was coming, and he
coaid not afford to miss it. The
driver was ordered to proceed.
As the hack whirled away the con
pie hunting the altar still stood on the
corner discussing the sitnation. If
they sneoeeded in finding a baok and a
preaoher the Times-Recorder wonld
like to tell that drnmmer as much.

rence, Kan. They knew she bad been
unable to leave her bed In seven ye ire

THERE’S GOOD MONEY IN HONEY
Americus Man Makes Success of The
Business.
Quite a score of thrifty farmers about
Amerious have apiaries this year and
are selling large qnantities of beant:-
fnl honey at fancy prices, both in the
Americas market and tao northern
eities. One of these prodneors sent a
sample of honey to a Richmond firm 0
few days ago and reoeived a telegraph
order for a earload of it, if such quan
tity conld be proourrd. It could not,
but the farmer here sent him font
thousand pounds and reoeived 12!oO
per' pound for it. This means jnst
$500, less the freight eharges and minor
expenses. Even raising honey beats
raising cotton.
A Terrible Explosion.
"Of a gasoline stove burned a l<dy
here frightfully,” writes N. E. Palmer,
of Kirkmau, la. “The best dootore

lowed, bnt Buoklen’e Arnica Halve en
