COME IN GARS AND GO THEIR WAY. SICK MADE WELL WEAK MADE STRONG. People Who Came Mere or Went Away Yesterday. AM ERICHS A MECCA FOR MANY It is at this season that the sidewalk farmers here tell at the temple of their waist high cotton aud very brilliant crop prospects. Of course there is a great rush fight now in making tax returns. The ma jority of taxpayers always wait until the last moment. Every carpenter aud bricklayer in Amerieu, is bne.y now, aud the de mand for eucb labor will soon exceed the local supply. Another lot of watermelons came in yesterday, and the celerity with which the black brother connected with tnem was startling. Already the large cotton stalk that grew near the horse lot is being brought to Americas as a fair sample of the entire crop. Up to yesterday Georgia had shipped about 200 cars peaches to the north, The crop is turning out a little better than first expected. Between house parties aud maroon icg excursions Americus young peo pie are kept quite busy now accepting numerous invitations. Beautiful pineapples, many of them as large as a two gallon jug, greatly attorned the fruit stands aud grocery store fronts yesterday. Another nearo, with wheelworks in her head out of whack, was sent from Americus yesterday to Sumter’s big colony at Milledgeville. * Miss Inez Cutts, formerly of Ameri. cns bat now connected with a semi nary near Baltimore, is visiting Air, E. A. Cutis in Savannah. Mr. .Toe Moore, a popular Subtler county youug man, is at home from the Tech, and will study cotton mill icg during his vacation. The colored Masons, at their session here this week, will provide means for the completion of the building erected here by the Grand Lodge. * Farmers in the city yesterday said the cotton in the fields was badly in fested with lice, and it was feared the insects would do damage. ' The buildiug of the new fertilizer works, the oil mill, ginuimr plant and Methodist Church, represents au out lay of very nearly $230,000. Nearly all the chairs iu the court house corridor were occupied by slum- Berers jeaterday. It was hot, and sleep overcame the debaters. The Sumter county chicklet is now large enough to separate from The mother hen, and the bird-sized ones sell here at plumbers prices. Sunday was the longest day of the year, and from this date forward the days will grow shorter. The Toilnot Club will be glad to hear this. Stewart Farlow has returned home from the Tech, but will spend the enmmer vacation studying the textile industry iu the Monroe Cotton mills. The Stately residence of .Mr. and Mrs, George \F.

Miss Schweigert was 6im ilnrly attired, her boquet being of pink carnations. The ceremoDy was impressive aud beautiful, aud ut its conclusion the in teresting company gathered around the newly-married couple adR show ered congratulations upon them. Later in the evening the bn lul parly and invited guests were served with delicious refreshments in the dining room. Mr. sud Mrs. Masses were the re cipients of a largo number of beantifnl and elegant gifts from friends in Amer icus, Macon and other cities.
