patriotic sentiments of the postmis-

postmistress was busy in her Office,
and one copy Of the proclamation was
posted on the board before she knew
anything about it. When she saw the
crowd. she rushed to the street, glanc-
ed at the placard and tore it down.
The Boer leader took the matter good

Transvaal flag. "These persons" he
said. "have come under this flag with

The postmistress disappeared inside
the door and ran to front room in the
second story OF the building. Soon she
came out again and ran to the Flagstaff

office: then, with shout Of defiance,
she hoisted the union jack. +.
While the leader was parleyinss with
the plucky postmistress another burgh-

mistress promptly tore it down and
went inside again. When she came
out, she posted in It's place one Of Sir

Some of the burghers were In favor
OF giving 1t up as bad job and re-

thought he would make one more effort
to subdue the plucky postmistress.

THE CITY IS GOING
TO BUILD A MILL,
In Good Time a Plant Will Be
Erected.
ENTIRELY NEW PLANT WANTED
Proposition of Virginia Company Evil
IDENTIFY Not Favorably Received,
But In Her Own Good Time Ameri-
Gus Will Act Promptly.

The fact that our people did not &C.
cept the proposition made recently by
a Virginia Company desiring to sell us
a cotton factory, operated several years,
does not indicate that Amerious does
not want cotton mill, or will not
build one in the near future,
There were reasons, perhaps, why
this proposition was not considered
favorably by prospective stockholders.
At meeting of prominent citizens a
day or two ago a representative of the
Virginia mill stated upon what terms
it would be brought here. The
amount involved was quite large.
A committee was appointed to can
vass the matter among our citizens
aud report back to meeting called for
10 o'clock yesterday morning. Evil
IDENTIFY very little success was en-
countered, as neither the committee
nor the expected crowd was in evil
dence.y yesterday.
1t would have cost Americas about
$51 900 in cash and $4,000 in stock
given the owner of the plant to have
put it in operation here, with small
reserve for working capital.
Possibly some of our citizens con-
slider this rather high price.
They may think 1t better to purchase
a new outfit of machinery and ego it
alone" rather than to invest in larger
plant used several years, though it may
be just as good in every way for ser.
vice. Some discussion upon this point
was heard here yesterday morning
The very large attendance of promin.
ent citizens at the meeting recently
held is a fair reflex of the sentiment re
garding factory here.
And some day very soon Americus
will have plant.
The Times Recorder knows of sew
eral citizens who are ready to invest
their money in such an enterprise il
the management of it's affairs is such as
to indicate that their investment will
not be swept away, as was the case with
many here decade ago.
They propose to make haste slowly
and feel that their money is safely in
vested when it is again put into manu-,
featuring enterprises here.

respect tomorrow to the memory of our
slain ruler. Business, to a great ex-
lent, will be suspended during the flu
neral hour in the afternoon, and it is
quite likely that, in accordance with
the proclamation of his successor,
memorial services will be held at 2
o'clock at one of the churches here.
It may also be arranged to have the
several church bells and that in the
courthouse tower tolled during the
funeral hour, as it would add much to
the solemnity and impressiveness of
the occasion. No program for the OBJ
servance of the occasion in Americus
has yet been entirely completed, but
all the features suggested here will be
included therein. The banks will
probably be closed during the day as
will the postoffics, while there will be
nothing doing in cotton circles here.
