AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES--RECORDER: BITS OF NEWS TOO SHORT FOR A HEAD. Boiled Down to Four Lines and Bunched. HAND MIRROR OF EVENTS HERE A SEGGND BIG WILL IS SURE TO GOME. Americus Gets Another Big Guano Plant. Happening*In The City and Suburb* of Looal Interest to Be Perused at Leisure While Your Coffoe Is Slowly Cooling. Ad ideal Xmas gift—an L. E. Water- man ideal fountain pen—due, medium, coarse and stnb points at Holliday’s book store. The eorniee work upon the court house is to be repaired and repainted. The face of the oity eloek needs wash ing as well. Christmas turkeys are coming to town just now, and the patriarchal and be-whiskered gobbler can be led away with a dollar bill. Barely is a case of drunk and disor derly made in the polioe court here. Than Amerious there is not a more or derly oity in Georgia. Look out for the fraud with the “sore arm” and other humbugs, Many good people , in Americus were badly taken in yeetefday. Judge Z. A. Littlejohn is repainting and otherwise improving his residence on Taylor street, already one of the handsomest in Americus. With the price of cotton again at 8 cents, holders of the staple will be more inolined to be liberal with them selves during Christmas. The grand jury recommends tho working of convicts on the public roads in Sumter. This is what the people have long wanted. Judge A. C. Speer is still quite ill at his home on Forsyth street. Judge Speer has been in very poor health for nearly eight months past. . Now that the grand jury has ad journed, several of “the boys” will breath easier and proceed to enjoy fully the Christmas times. Amerious' charitable citizens will not forget the poor in the city during the holiday season. Send a ray of sunshine into their darkened homes. The horde of applicants for positions in'the employ of the city next year are now doing the hot foot in canvassing among members of eounoil. The poultry, butter and egg market is well supplied. Chickens are plenti ful at a quarter, while butter and eggs bring a like priee at retail. With two immense fertilizer plants, as now seems probable, Americus will lead every Georgia city in the menu faeiure of this cotten tonic. As compared with last fall's busi ness, that now acoorded Americus merchants is a hummer. No reason now for a kiok of any kind. Mr. George A. Nix is still ill at hia home here and there is no improve ment in his condition. He has been thus oonQned for six weeks. Two prominent attorneys engaged in a tittle flstio argument.*! the oourt- house yesterday, but were qoiokly separated by friends present. Americus warehouse receipts will run very dose to 80,000 bales by the end of Deoember. This is well ahead of last soason's receipts here. The oounty tax books oiosetomorrow night, and Collector Dunn will issue several hundred tax. executions in Americas as holiday souvenirs. Green Gilbert, who robbed a mer chant here reeently, pleads guilty to larceny after trust and goes to the gang for a year or oonghs up 870. Americus is looking forward to a merry Christmas and the Times-Be* corder joins in the wish that there will be disappointment for none here. Messrs. L. G. Council and T. B. Hooks left yesterday for Eentuoky, where they will purchase several floe blooded horses for their own use, AMOURS TO BUILD A FACTORY. Said That There is No Doubt About Erecting Plant Here Early in the Now Year-Will Have Capacity of 20.000 Tons Daily. Homo time ago the Times-Reoordcr stated that the Aimour Fertilizer Works proposed entering this field es manufacturers of fertilizers, and to that ent would, at an early date, begin the erection of a plant here. Options upon a building site were secured, Since that time bat little has been heard of the new enterprise. Now, however, there comes the gratifying information that the com pany will oertaiuly ereot a plant in Amerious, probably making a atart with the new year, 1903. A representative of this mammoth corporation was in Americus yesterday, and informed the Times-Becorder that a factory would bo located here. A sits, he said, had practically been rood upoo, aud that Amerious would get this big plant. Aud thus will Americus begin tbe now year with a fin. {start in an indus trial way. '1 he new Armour plant, it is said, will havo a totalmaaafactaring ca pacity of twen’y th-.usand tons an nually. It meaus uu investment ot perhaps $150,000, aud will afford em ployment to a largo force. Already the oompany does a largo business. Thus will Americus have two big and brand new fertilizer works, with a combined oapacity of 40,000 tons ferti lizer annaally and representing a cash in vestment of a quarter million dollars.

The business of raising potatoes and ot selling diamonds is rather an odd combination bat one that Mr. B. S. Broadhurst, tbe jeweler, thinks can be conducted to advattige. To this end Mr. Broadhurst has purchased tbe Howe plantation of 807 aores, two or three; miles west ot Americas. The plantation is a very valuable one, and under tbe high and eeieutiflo cultiva tion which will be given it by Mr. Broadhurst will bs made to blossom as the rose. For tbe present, at least, it is the intention of tbe new owner to plant.only corn,*cate, peas, potatoes and anoh crops, and not a stalk of oot- ton shall grow there. This is a new departure in farming in southwestern Georgia, bat one that Mr. Broadhnrst believes esn be condactedenooeaafaUy, Coughs, Colds and Constipation.
