In Col. W. T. Davenport Americus,
like many other Georgia cities, pos
sesses one or more residents rapidly
approaching tbe century mark In years
aud who remember distinctly tbe ap
pearance of this great comet now ex
citing worldwide Interest upon its last
appearance In 1833.
That was seventy-five years ago,
three-fourths of a century, but Col
Walter T. Davenport, of Americus,
j now In his ninety-third year, saw tho
huge comet then.
A young man of near IS years, Col.
Davenport was then residing In Vir
ginia, the state of his nativity, though
the greater portion of his long and
useful career has been spent here in
Americus.
Despite the eight of years. Col.
Davenport has been an Interested star
gazer since tbe Halley comet has been
visible in the western sky for three
days, and to his friends he tells of
tho appearance of the huge tramp ci
the skies 75 years ago when he viewed
It from tbe hills of Virginia.
•Mr. A. A. Wlllct is another aged
citizen of Americus who saw tin comet
at that time, and who, at 9i or 95 years,
is still hale, hearty and vigorous.
Slightly disfigured, but still In tha
going, Hailey's comet continues on its
merry way, undisturbed over tho fact
that It has lost Its tall.
Just how the comet lost Its tall ha3
not yet been determined by tbe men
who have kept watch on It for weeks.
It may have been caused by a disso
lution of partnership or a lack of
proper transportation facilities.
With clear skies the comet should he
visible until the latter part of May,
until It will gradually become dimmer
and dimmer and It will take the most
powerful of glasses to distinguish it.
When seen last night It was shining
with about half the brilliancy of an
ordinary star, but It is thought this
will increase In a day or two.
While scientist* differ a« to the
cause of tbe loss of part of Its rodder
they are agreed that tbe comet I* go
ing on In the even ten or of IU way.
