UNBIDDEN GUEST IS ELECTED.
Although She Was Ready to Retire
UNREGISTERED

A little clark" comedy which might
be entitled "The Strange Adventures
of Miss Black" was enacted at one of
the hotels here at an early hour Yester-
day morning. The fact was reported
to the clerk that a strange negro wo-
man was disrobing in one of the first
floor rooms and otherwise arranging
her slumber toilet very leisurely.
The astonished clerk went to investi-
gate, and found the woman in the act
of retiring. She was bodily fired into
the street, though it afterwards de-
veloped that the old woman was crazy
and was probably unaware of what she
had done,

STREET CARNIVAL
ALMOST ASSURED.
Only a Small Amount is Lacking to
Make it Sure
COMMITTEE IS STILL WORKING
And Balance Money Required Will
Be Raised TodaY-A Grand Oecas
ion Promised in Americas During
Entire Holiday Week.

Americas is going to haye that
Christmas Carnival, and it will easily
surpass any similar occasion of that
kind attempted here or in any city of
like size in the state.
The matter of having the fair was
practically settled yesterday.
When the Times-Recorder announc.
ed yesterday morning that such a
movement was on foot, many enter
prising business men readily lent their
assistance towards making it success,
and there is but little doubt of it now
An hours work by the executive
committee this morning will secure the
balance of the money required, and
then the carnival is assured.
Any two business houses could af-
ford to give the amount needed.
Surely dozen, who have not yet
contributed, will see to it that this
amount is forthcoming today.
The Berger & Sturgis Carnival Co..
proposes to bring a score of excellent
attractions here, and Mr.. Berger will
direct the fair throughout. He met
the citizens committee yesterday and
all details were then arranged.
There will be attractions calculated
to delight all classes of visitors.
The "Streets of Cairo" German VII
lage, Ferris wheel, vaudeville shows,
moving pictures, the high divers, min
iature railroad-all coming.
Scenes of the Battle of Santiago, the
Galveston horror, the butchery at Tien
Tsin will be yividIy depicted. Then
there will be balloon ascensions, freaks
of all kinds che eats 'em alive snake
eater and score of other great sights.
All of these will come to Americus'
great Christmas Carnival.
And 20, 900 people will come here to
see the show, which begins on Monday,
oath and continues through a solid
week of sights.
There will be great trades display,
the browning of king and queen of the
Carnival, the Carnival ball, etc Gov.
Gambler and other distinguished visi.
tors will be invited, and Americas will
have a gala week sure.
The Fifth Regiment band is coming

Uncertainty of Contents Causes a

In view of the fact that a final Blu

being played right now. 1t is rumor-

BUSINESS WAS GOOD YESTERDAY

Americas Merchants Had an Unusual
lY Good Trade.
Few Americas merchants were dis
satisfied with the general condition of
business here yesterday, and the sight
of dozens of well filled wagons going
to the country in the afternoon evil
denced the fact that some of them had
all the trade they could handle, Wag-

ages of drygoods and other merchan-
disc were seen on every country road.
And this condition will continue in
Americas through the holidays, and
the fall of 1900 will be record breaker
