No Americus Recorder at this post
ofiice this week. What is the matter
Bro. Storey V
North Carolina is preparing fora grand
Centennial celebration of her raification
of the constitution ofjthe United States,
next month.
Mr. W. T, Christopher, of the Monte
zuma Record, and Miss Cora L. Smith,
one of the most charming ladies in that
section, were married at the Methodist
church in that town Thursday, October,
1 Ttli.
The negroes of Texas, Louisiana, and
adjoining States are trying to inauger
ate a scheme for colonizing in Mexico
and it is said that the Mexican authori
ties rather favor the scheme. We say
let the colored brother go in peace.
Mr. William Miller and wife while sit
ting at their fire in Houston county last
Saturday were knocked down with an
ax and robbed by negroes. Mr. Miller
was killed out right, but Mrs. Miller re
turned to consciousness and gave the
alarm.
The legislature is still wrangling over
the State Road muddle, just think what
an enormous expense tins squabble has
been to the tax payers of Georgia. One
or two more such pieces of property
would bankrupt the State.
Sylvania Telephone.—Mr. Me D. Oli
ver informed us last Thursday that he
has a chicken which was a week old at
that time, and which is entirely without
eves. He first noticed its peculiar move
ments in following the hen and caught
it to see what was the matter, when he
discovered it had no eyes. He says he
feeds it regularly and will try to raise it.
The gin-house and cotton of Mr Dan
Sliehee, in Taylor county, near the line
of Schley, were destroyed last week bv
fire. These gin house fires are becotn
ing of almost every day occurrence and
in most cases there is no insurance,
Wilcox – Son of Columbus, makes a
specialty of insuring gins houses and our
farmers ought to protect themselves by
carryi >g some insurance if not much.
Malietoa and Tamasese the rival kings
of Samoa are still carrying on their li tie
one-horse revolution. It is reported that
they met recently in battle array with
about three hundred valiant soldiers on
each side. As to which won the victory
the dispatches did not state. That was
probable considered of not sufficient im
portance to mention. Yet this little side
show of a revolution has brought Ger
many. England and the United States
almost to the point of war.
Eight Georgians during the past week
comes to the front with new patents as
follows: R. A - Connell, Whigham, Ga,
Manure distribute!*, J. C, Pool, Big
Creek, Ga, Plow fender, N. A. Pratt At

Whether you want a handsome monu
ment or a plain marble slab to mark the
last resting place of departed loved ones,
send vour order to Edgar J. Miller, suc
cessor to Miller – McCall, of Americus.
lie deals in every thing pertaining to the
marble business and can furnish as
handsomely executed work at as low
rates as any marble dealer in the United
States. When you go to Americus call
at his marble yard on Jackson street
near the Southwest corner of the old
public square and see bis work.
Mr. II. D. Watts isoneof the live. pro
gressive. business men of Americus.
His large and well filled establishment
is on the North-east corner of the old
public square opposite the new court
house. lie invites every farmer in
Schley county to call on him when visit
ing Americus and feels confident that
lie can offer them inducements that will
secure a share of their patronage. Mr.
Watts was born and raised on a farm in
Sumter county, lias always been in sym
pathy with the tillers of the soil and
knows how to treat them as gentlemen.
Give him a trial.
THINK FOR YOURSELF.
The country is full of agents for build
ing and loan associations. Several have
visited Eilaville lately with a view to or
ganizing a subordinate association here.
We agree with these gentlemen, that a
building and loan is just what Eilaville
needs, and we should organize one here
at once, but there is no sensible reason
why we should want to join an associ
ation located in some other place; the ob
ject of all building and loan associations
is to build up the town in which it is lo
cated. It is very creditable to the
shrewdness and enterprise of our "city
cousins to send out agents and try to get
us to join t heir concerns, but not very
creditable to our inteligence if we are se
duced into chucking our money in with
some one else instead of oaganizing on
our own hoook and securing to our selves
the benefits that they expect to derive
from having us join them - All that our
city cousins could possibly do for us
would be to furnish the experience, and
let us put in the money, no well regula
ted building and loan association keeps
a surplus on hand to loan to fresh re
cruits. I'lie history of all of them is that
the demands for loans exceeds the sup
ply and the subordinate association that
goes in with the larger concerns trusting
to be taken care of will wake up some
oeautiful morning about as much sur
prised as is the innocent little minnow
that swims out into deep water to play
hid and seek with the festive trout.
Schley count}* has had some slight expe
rience in this direction, and probably ob
served that the originators possess a pe
culiarly faculty for taking very excel
lent care of them selves. We cannot
blame them for that however, we would
be a lot of the blankest idiots alive to
imagine that our city cousins are lying
awake at night, figuring and scheming
lor our special benefit.
The most prosperous people in the
world are those who rely on themselves.
Let’s stop monkeying with other people’s
sehemts and organize a building and
loan association of our own, officer it
with the wisest and most trustworthy
men in the community, men whose
property and whose interest are here
among us, then we can see and know ex
actly what we are doing and the benefits
will all be distributed at home,
OUR LEGISLATURE.
The present legislature is the most
wonderful that ever convened. Won
derful in many respects,
They have been in session longer than
any previous legislature and have ac
complished a great deal of work, and are
now up to their ears in undisposed of
measures, the most important of which
is the State road lease bill, about which
they seem to be completely at sea.
What will be the outcome of it remains
to * H! seon *
Another thing remarkable has been
that two of it members have been mur
dered. and more have died than ever
known before in the history of the Slate.
Remarkable for another reason: one
duel has been fought as the results of
their deliberations, and another came
very near being fought.
Lastly, remarkable from the fact that
the Senate and House instead of work
ing in unison and harmony, seem to be
I at “dagger’s points,” even to such a
degree that a member of the House
troduced a resolution to abolish
Senate.—Pulaski Recorder.
BLOW AND KEEP BLOWING.
There is about an average of one pub
lie road crossing to every mile of rai
road trad i„ So., ley county and in com
plying with the law the engineers, when
within 400 yards have to “blow and keep
blowing, check and keep checking until
thecrosssingisreached”, and since court
they , make . the , echoes ring, . you bet ! But
we do not blame them, this is the law
and it should be complied with if it
takes all summer to make a trip, and
keeps all the neighbors awake at night,
The grand jury was right too; if the law
is a good one it should be complied with
for the benefit of the public, if a bad
one it should be enforced until
it becomes too odious to tolerate,
then the legislature would be ob
li ge d to repeal it. So blow on ye gallant
knights of the throttle, blow ! Blow
and keep blowing until the echoes shall
reach our legislative halls and ring in
the cars of our astute solons.
Marion Patriot.—Alec Waller, a
young man about twenty-one years old.
who has been living with Mr. Slaughter
for the past three years, worked for wa
ges the first two years, and although he
h id to contribute a great deal to the
wants of a sick mother he saved up and
now has out at interest $300. This year
he farmed and made thirteen bales of
cotton, two hundred bushels of corn,
peas and potatoes. His cotton is all out
and he is now making one dollar a day
picking for tiis neighbors. Such indus
try is always rewarded and that young
man will have something if he lives.
