J lie Citizens ol Schley, Marion and Macon counties Who visit Auiericus, will consult their interest by calling <r on # THORNTON WHEATLEY. •» • The leading Dry Goods and Clothing merchant his two large stores corner Forsyth St., and Public square, is the acknowledged for Dry Goods, Ciothing, Shoes audllats. Gents furnis dug goods. The stock is one oftlio largest in the state. Our motto is BEST GOODS AT LOWEST PRICES, l H,litu attention and square dealing to all. TERMS CASH or approved ciedit. Respectfully solicit your Patrona e, I remain Yours truly, THORTON WHEATLEY. Heel scrapes at Carter’s cheap. “Violet Patent” flour just at Carter’s. Bargains! Bargains!! in shoes at Carter’s.

Bill Allen at Carter’s, will sell you anything in his line as cheap as the cheapest. If you want a bargain in meat, flour,sugar,coffee,tobacco and shoes. Call on Johnson & Dixon. Just received at Carter’s a fine lot of the latest low' quartei ladies and gents shoes, from $ 1.00 to $ 2.00 a pair. There was thirty cases returned to our Justice court la .t Saturday. It seems from this that we are a “courting” people. , There is not another city south no larger than Americus that can boast of as good daily newspaper as the Americas Recorder. Under Bro, Cristophers magnetic touch the Patriot is becoming brigh¬ ter and brighter. He deserves all the success that is attending his ef¬ fort. Every body and all of their kin folks around here are going to the Tournament in Americus next. Thursday. Hall rules on the roads. The other day little Linton Strange, not quite three years old, came run¬ ning into the house and said, “Grand ma,the cow is settin.down an chew- in gum.” Would not Ellaville flourish as the bay tree if the Dublin extension would pass here. Then we would have a direct line to sea and to Columbus. But few' goods are being bought by our farmers on a credit and those j that don’t buy any will not be dis- turbed next fall by an officer even if cotton should sell at seven cents or less. We have never known cotton up so slowly and that which is has what is called “big shank. fact the prospects are very disc- ur- aging for a cotton crop. Corn is growing off finely. Now doth the festive flea gambol in playful innocence wheresoever his cliangable inclination may Lead him, and the beautiful red bug clings on with a determination that is simply wonderful. Yes spring is here, with its usual accompani¬ ments. Joint committee of arrangements for the Schley county Sunday School Convention, that meets May the 22nd. C. L. Battle, I. N. Mott, J. T. Thornton, G. B. Weaver, J. R. Wil¬ liams, J. W. Johnson, Olin Dixon, Mesdames. Thornton, Davis, Smith, Mott, Misses Blanche Cockrell, Lula Murphy and Mittie Myers. Superior Court was opened in Marion county morning and ad¬ journed by the clerk until Tuesday when Judge Fort will let “the mill” grind a short time. Among the cases for trial is one that has been on the docker for thirty years, wherein a man is charged with the murder of his wife by hanging her. Go to J. T. Carter’s for your hard¬ ware and groceries; such as meat, meal, sugar, coffee, flour, tobacco and a general line of merchandise. He also has the combined Eureka cotton planter and guano distribu¬ tor, plant’s corn and peas. Mr* William Allen will sell as cheap as any. The Democratic F.xecutive Com- mittee of Schley County, will meet at the court house on the 8 th of May -at 2 o’clock, P. M., for the purpose of selecting a day to elect Guhernat 11 - rial and Congressional delegates, and for electing tt new Executive Committee, E. S. B V.LDW in, President. A Grand Time For All. Ample accommodation for all w ho desire to attend the grand Fire Tour¬ nament in Americus on the 13th of May. Supt. Cockrell has made ar¬ rangements with the C. R. R. for ex¬ tra passenger coaches to take all who want to ^oon the B,V.&E,R.R j C. It. McCrory visited Buena Monday. Editor Harp and lady returned home yesterday. W. H. McCrory is attending court in Buena Vista. MaJ. W. P. C. Cleghorn, visited Americus Tuesday. Mrs. J. B. Hudson returned to Preston after a pleasant visit to rel¬ atives here. Miss Nannie Myers left for Pres¬ ton Monday and one especially feels sad and lonely. Those who went to the Centenni¬ al at Savannah from here returned Wednesday evening, Claud Dixon and J. R. Williams went to Americus Wednesday. We guess as usual Jim called on the belle of that thriving city. Dr. T. F. Weaver, of ..ashville, Tenn., is in the city. He isintroduc- a patent window screen which we think an excellent arrangment in I more ways than one. Bro. Harp and wife went up to At- lanta Friday morning and left for Savannah Sunday morning with cong( nlal company such as John B. (Jordan, Jeff Davis et al. Nothing like being an editor. Judge B. A. Strange and wife, Hon. W. D. Murray and wife, Mr. Dupree Peaccck, S. A. Sellars of this place, Dr. J. R. McMiehael of Putnam and W. C. Suigleton and wife of Buena Vista left last Satur¬ day morning for Savannah. The above “tea party” is bound to have 1 a good time, Would it not be a good idea to have a committee from each church to solicit subscription to have them painted. Let us hear from any one interested in the matter, Both churches need painting very much and it is a reflection on our people as Christians to let the churches be¬ come so dilapidated. Subbaili School Convention. The annual convention of the Sumter county Sunday School As- sociation will take place at Ander- son vllle on Friday 21st of May. All Sabbath school workers whether teachers or scholars are cordially invited to attend. It would be a good way for our schools to go in body,and then special could be made as to an excursion on the B. V. A E. R. it. Mr. Callaway President of the Sumtercounty As- sociation, requests us to extend the invitation, aiso Rev. C. L'avis, < Andersonville. All that go will have a pleasant time, and the ex¬ change of experience will result in mutual benefit to each other and the Sabbath School cause. Dedication Service. At a conference of the new Bethel church Terrell county. April 18th the following programme was adopted for the third Sabbath in May. Sunday school a. m. Dedicatory sermon at 11 a. m., by J.

Amlersonville Scribbling*. reported by “Q.” Miss Amanda Daniel of Schley, spent Sunday with her friend Miss Alice Naylor. Last Tuesday a number of young men and ladies enjoyed a picnic. Saturday another crowd went a- fishing and had a nice time. Will Harrison of Ellaville, spent Sunday with his parents. Mrs. Dr. Harrison has been quite sick for several days; glad to say she is improving. Rev. Davis preached here Sunday night, to a large congregation. O. D. Glover has returned from Atlanta, where he has been attend¬ ing college. He had a severe at¬ tack of measles. He will remain two or three weeks, when he will, return. Mr. Phillip, Jordan married a young lady t last Sunday, named j Miss Sallle Kitchens. Roslola has spread out here. Some thought it # ns mctisles, but the doc¬ tors pronounced it rosiola. The second b b nine has challen¬ ged Montezuma's for the 7th of May. They have not answered yet. I sup- pose they are afraid of us. Mr. Naylor arrived home Sunday, from Lumpkin. Some talk of their moving away, but the young folks will coax them to stay. Do(a I'rom Lowe. Lowe, Ga., April, 28th, 1886. We have had a splendid rain to- day. Col. I. N. Mott is visiting Lowe to¬ day. Mr. Tucker, visited Lowe last Monday, Miss Mary Cunningham and Miss Jennie Threlkeld spent the day with Miss Theodosia Mott last Sat- urday, after dinner, Mr. T. J. Mott and the young ladies being worried sit upon a log to rest, the log being rotton broke and down they fell. Ladies be sure you get on solid log j next, time. Mrs. Eldora Kleckly has gone to M acon to see her brother-in-law Mr. J. T. Stewart who is very sick. Corn is looking fine, poor stand of cotton up at present but a fine stand of grass, that is what the darkey likes to see. Plow Boy. Daniel’s Mill, April 26, 1886. Dear Enterprise:— Would a •w items from here be amiss,I not as our distant friends would he glad to hear how we are through the columns of the Enter¬ prise. Our farmers are all busy planting king cotton. Some have already finished, while a few are chopping out their “brag patches.” Corn is looking finely, we are needing rain. Mr. Si Ross happened , , to , ,, the mis- , fortune of getting hi. dwelling burned, a few nights since; there had uau been oeen no no fire nre in in the me house nouse in in 64 .4 hours so it is thought to be the work of an incendiary. Mr. Editor if you love “good eat- ins” you should have been here Sat- urday 24th. We just had the nicest picnic you ever saw, and the dinner would have temptod an editor even to have eaten It is/fill, for in quality and qu entity, ifeould not be excell¬ ed. 4 >ooiig those presents from your town we noticed Misses Jessie Peacock, Ada Gaines, Mr, and Mrs. J. It. Gaines and probably others, and as old sol began kissing the western hills we all left for home, feeling glad we had come. More anon, Ego. Don’t forget to let us know next time.— Ed. The CTitoIt. May 1st, 1886. Ed Enterprise:—I guess you thought I was not going to write any more from this corner, but as you were kind enough, to print my little scratch of the 6 th ult. I de¬ cided I would try it again. Most of the farmers in this section are done plowing corn the first time, and some have begun chopping cot¬ ton. Rev. Mr. Clark and Mr. J. W. Dupree were in the “Cutoff” Thurs¬ day and returned to their homes in Stewart county yesterday. Please come again gentlemen, we like to have such company. We learn by private correspon¬ dence from relatives living in north Georgia and Alabama, that the riv¬ ers, (namely Chattooga, Coosa and Little) have over flowed, doing con¬ siderable damage to the farming in¬ terest. They say farmers up there haven’t been able, to plow any this spring, to any advantage. I was about to forget to mention our Sabbath school. Glad to state that it is still in a flourishing condi¬ tion, an I hope will remain so. I saw your “Devil” out at Fellow¬ ship last 3rd Sunday. I guess he hasen’t got his hat yet, if that was it I found the other day near Mr. Pea¬ cock’s. Our little folks miss their teacher very much, they often ask, when will Miss Mittie come back? Uncle J. B. B., got a big joke on Uncle S. F. II., in a private letter other day. Its funny boys but I can’t tell it now. “Xuflf sed.” Pukr, I Fireman's Tournament. Americus, Georgia.
