To the citizens OF Americas At the
earnest solicitation of my personal
friends, and many acquaintance rep
resenting the various commercial. and
industrial interests of our city, have
determined to become candidate for
the Mayoralty of Americus. subject to
the action of the Democratic primary,

My former record as Mayor of the

necessity of personal canvass, which
business engagements would scarcely
permit at this time; so that take this
method of announcing my candidacy,
and earnestly ask the consideration
and support of the people.
If elected, pledge a conservative,
economical and business-like admin
istration, devoted to every best inter-
est of the entire city and it's people.
Respectfully, JNo, b. FEIsDER.

FEARFUL TUMBLE IN rUTUREs.
Contract Cotton Lost Heavily on
Yesterday.

The cotton market continued yester-
day its seemingly endless hunt for the
bottom, if there is such thing as the
bottom to it.
Instead of improving bit, as those
who don't know thing about the mar
ket predicted, it again spread its
wings and sailed merriIy down the
hume towards chaos.
Then everybody declared that was
just what they really expected.
But ten to one their money was bet
the other way, if they had any left from
the recentlandside. It is generally on
the wrong side.
After the phenomenal break of 118
points, from 10. IS to 90, it was hoped
yesterday that the old king" would
sober up bit and climb back upon his
high pedestal.
Vain hope; in fact, no hope.
Instead of doing better the contract
market once more hit the creased track
and started towards the mudsills of OBJ
livion faster than candidate can make
promises.
January showed the black record of
twenty-six points lost in day.
From 9.04, the closing figures of the
day before, it tumbled yesterday to
8.7S, the lowest point reached in more.
than two months.
This disheartened the local trade and
the market was featureless the balance
of the day. Some cotton sold around
So cents, the best price now offered.
Fhe big break yesterday was attrib,
uted to the estimate" of a Texas
paper, placing the crop of that state at
9,10O, 600 bales.
