THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 1902.
TRADE IS GOING TO
BE BRISK IN FALL.
A Brighter Era For Americui It
Dawning Now.
BBIGHTENS IN MANY RESPECTS.

A RUSH FOR STORES
AND FIVEARE TAKEN
Great Demand Here Yesterday For
Empty Buildings.
NEW people;are coming here.
Stores That Haye Been Without Ten
ants For Years Are In Demand-
More Business Houses Will Be
Opened In Americns.
L
If there is anything in “the signs of
the times” Amoricus is about to enter
upon an era of prosperity snch as she
has not known in years. Nor is it a
fairy vision, to be quickly dispelled,
for this belief is backed by conditions
that give every assurance of an early
realization.
Business will be better than for a
long time. It is better now by far
than at this date a year ago.
But the dawn is just breaking, and
the sunlight of prosperity will soon
beam resplendent for all. Americus is
on the up grade, and there is an im
petus with it that cannot be rotarded.
Confidence is restored, people are
here with money to invest in real es
tate and various lines of business,
Empty stores are finding ocoupants,
homes are in greater demand than at
any time since the boom days of 1890,
and a-feeling of confidence prevails
generally.
Amerions merchants feel it, and are
preparing for a groat fall trade.
Not in years have they bonght such
large stocks, and not In years has the
prospeot for selling goods beea so
bright. Already great stocks of fall
goods are being received.
Crops have been better in years
past, bnt our farmers have no conse to
complain when their oondition is eon-
toasted with that of others. Tho cet-
ton crop will be an average one, and
the prioe paid for it will more than
make np the deficiency. The farmers
are all right.
And this wealth produced by them
1b already being poured into market
and exchanged for dollars.
leaver at this season has snob an
amount of ootton been marketed thus
early. Already Americas haB reoeiyed
near 1,200 new bales and will reoeive
as maay more next week. The ware
houses lyosterday, like the stores,
were scones of push and business.
Sinoe Sept. 1st. last year, Amerions
has received np to date 55,000 bales of
ootton. This Is the amount bandied
by loeal buyers, and doeB not inolude
receipts at the eompresB.
Not less than 00,000 bales will be our
reooipts daring the season,
Building to the amount of two hun
dred thousand dollars is the eity’e re.
cent record, and inoludes those now
in process of ereetion. And there will
will be more of this. New money will
seek investment here and factories
will be built in the waste places.
Amerions has weathered bravely the
storm of adversity, and the fact that
she is the best little oity in Georgia is
thus demonstrated. Now watch her
grow as never before.
I
All Were Saved.
“For years I Buffered with untold
misery from Bronchitis,” writes J, H.
Johnston, of Brougbtou.Ga., "that of

everything else failed, I waa wholly

Consumption. My wife suffered In

The total vote caat in the election

That more prosperous era predicted
for Americus in the event blind tigers
were voted out appears to have dawn
ed already. The owls and bata are be
ing stiired from their hiding places in
empty stares here and new tenants are
coming.
And all of the twenty-one “empties"
will soon bo occupied by good tenants.
Many of these stores, costly brick
buildings, have been unoccupied for
three or four years, but this era of do
pression now seems at an end.
Yesterday morning the large store
■ow occupied by D. W. Bagley, in
tho Byne Block, was leased by him to
E. J. McGee, of Monteznma. Mr
McGee will establish a wholesale and
retail business m Amerions at once.
Mr. Bagley will occupy the doable
store on Lee street, vacated by J. H.
Poole & Sons, and now without
tenant,
Mr. A. J. Hamil baa leased a large
and desirable store on Cotton Avenne,
now empty, to L. G. Daniel, of Tub
oaioosa, Ala. The deal is already
closed.
The large doable store of Buokanan
Bros, on Cotton Avenne, long vaoant,
was leased yesterday. The namo of
the lessees and the kind of business to
be condnoted there is not known.
The parties leasing it come- from
another Georgia city.
Mr. W. A. Dodson, who owns a fine
store on Ootton Avenne, and wbieb
has been vacant several years, bad
three applications yesterday morning
for it.
Another merchant, who pays $20 per
month for a very handsome and de
sirable store, was offered $75 per month
for it by a gentleman from Fitzgerald
who is here for the purpose of estab
lishing some kind of wholesale busi
ness,
Tberowere probably other Batter
ing offers made tor vaoant properties,
but the Times-Beoordor heard of the
several changes above mentioned.
And vaoant hoases why my dear
boy they cannot bo had here at any
prioe. Thero are none.
A renting agent received a wire
day or two ago from a party in Eufau
la who wished to dome here. The
agent bad only one small home,
whiob, however, will not be vacant for
a month,
Tho situation waa explained to the
Eufaulan, Ho telegraphed baok that
ho would take the house, and without
even asking what the rental was,
A brighter day, oomtnereially, has
dawned for our oity. New people,
with oapital to invest, are oomtng to
Amerlous, and the oity will increase in
trade and population. She has suffer
ed long, but redemption comes at last.
Let every oitizen got to work now
and pull for Greater Amerions.
