Santa Clans has already come to Mrs
M T. Elam’s atore. Head this mom-
ing her list of offerings in fine holiday
goods.
The cotton market absolutely refuses
to get out of the old rnt in which it has
wabbled for a month. It still stays at
7j cents.
Sumter oonnty farmers will save more
meat this winter then for a number of
years past. That’s the real road to
prosperity.
Now that Americas has bsen success
fully worked by the mailbox swindler,
we will be marked victims for all the
other fakirs.
“Hello, Amerious; this is Lumpkin” I
The Times Reeordtryesterday morn
ing undertook to waru our citizens . 7
against the “p-jvate mailbox swindle” I? . mornin * tha assignment made be the first message to come
should it he attempted here, but the ^ *** ° eorei “ • Conference tor
warning came too la'e Not a few peo
Judges. Montgomery has been ill for
a day or two, tbe result of a fall sus
tained recently. His condition is now
-juito feeble.
But three weeks of the old year re
main. Americas has done much this
year, and is going to make even greater
strides in 1903.
Not a few of “the boys” are picking
ont oity j obj for next year. But what
the Connoil it going to do about it re
mains to be seen.
Pie who resd the note of warning knew
they were the victims of a sharper.
for, veiily, the sleek rascal had
already worked the town.
The press dispatches told of the com
ing of a man to Rome who fraudulent
ly took orders for letter boxes, repre-
seating himself as a poslofflee employe
sent ont by the department
He pocketed tbe cash for tbe imagi
nary boxes, which, he said, would bo
forwarded right away.
Thinking that the rascal might in-
olnde Americus iu his itinerary the
Times Reorder published the warn
ing, only to learu yesterday from sur
prised citizsns that he had been here
but a few days before and thoroughly
cleaned up this dead easy town in
taking ‘ orders ’’
No one knows just bow many doz
Tbe tnrk that ran tbe Thanksgiving
gauntlet is now figuring on a Christ
mas escape. Ths big birds were never
so plentiful here.
Than Americus there was not a more
orderly city iu Georgia yesterday.
Thousands of people here, and not an
arrest for disorder.
Fireman Pope Skelton, who has bsen
with the looal department for a number
of years, has resigned therefrom to en
gage in otber business.
Americas peoplo who travel will hai
with pleasure the establishment of a
Bleeping car service.on this division of
the Central next Suuday.
People from a half dozen towns near
. Americas were shopping hero yester
day. Americas merchants who adver
tise are selling the goods.
Already those shoppers known as
lookers end t-omebsckers aro inspecting
Christmas goods end having the more
saleable artioles set aside.
Within the past week two families
from other states have secured farms
near Amerlons and will engage in
dairying and trnQk raising.
With tbe adjournment of the grand
jury this week those absentees who
J>,ve been visiting relatives in the
K’ondike can return home.
The passage in the house.of the
Americas police commission bill was
the subject of very general disousslon
apon the streets here yesterday.
Albany’s postoffloe mnddlo was set
tled yesterday by tbe appointment
«f young Mr. Btimbsrry, son of the
former postmaster, to tbatoffioe.
In superior court yesterday Demos
Martin, a negro, was oonvloted of as
eanlt to rape. Nearly tbe entire day
was consumed in trying the ease.
Foreman Walter Gnerry of the fire
department, was granted a ten days
vaoatton by connoil last night. He
will apend it vary delightfully, too.
eas of people were fleeced.
The fellow was well dressed and of
bnsiness-liko appearance. He had
regularly printed receipts, which he
gave to those ordering “boxes” in
oamplianoj with the “governmental
order
Ladies, found alone at their homer,
were his easiest viotims.
To these he stated that the •‘govern-
ment” hai just issued an order that
every residence in Amerions mast be
provided with a door letter box at onoe.
The price wbb 50 oenb; he merely col
lected tbe fee, while a looal carpenter
would soon pat ap the boxes.
Lee street, Taylor, College, Jackson,
Cbnrcb—in faot, the whole town was
well fleeced.
Borne day oar people will learn to be
ware of snch front doorfrandr, but that
day baa not yet dawned. Amerieus
tho Amerions chnrohes bnt, owing to
the lateness of tbe hour at which tbe
appointments were read ont we oonld
