Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1902-01-31

A few weeks subsequent to the above
conversation travel-stRined party ar
rived in Americas. Our friend, Uncle
Josh, was in charge aud he led the
party straightway to the Windsor
hotel. "We'll go to the Windsor, SAID
he, "'cause that's the popular place
and strictly frst-class. I have known
Henry S. McOleskey the proprietor, for
years and he is mine host after mine
own heart; being endowed with that
delightful intuition that makes guest
feel at home, comfortable, contented,
and in mighty good luck. The house
is one of convenience; the apartments
are we'll furnished and the cuisine
we'll, that hotel is noted for it's excel
lent table, so I have engaged rooms
here until your own house is in readi-
ness"
After breakfast is oyer" continued
the old man, L must take you for q
little drive and then we'll proceed to
buy your outfit. To expedite matters
I'll just call up phone No. 81 and have
G. o. Loving, our eIterprising livery
man, send US round rig" When the
handsome carriage, with elaborate trap
pings and prancing horses drew up in
front of the hotel Polly declared it to
be a turnout fit for a queen. eyes

coat of arms, and best of all, the rates
are mighty reasonable. 1t was in q
stylish turnout indeed that the rounds
of the city were made.
"No grass shall grow under our feet, .
remarked Uncle Josh, so what's first

knows there's lots to buy" remarked
Polly. "Fhen suppose we buy. lots
first, quoth Charley, without turning
hair. "Well, I see you've got a great
head for BUSINESS" laughed Uncle
Josh, "We'll just stop at Mayor John
B. Felder's real estate Office. can
always depend upon him for bargains
in real estate, as he hever holds out
false lights to induce people to buy, but
what he tells you about property, may
be put down as solid facts. Mayor
Fielder controls large list of desirable
residences as we'll as farm properties,
and his judgement on the good things
is par excellence" Accordingly Mayor
Fielder accompanied the trio on their
drive and before returning had sold
Uncle Josh, for his wards, cosy cot
tage
"Having already provided cage for
the bird, said Uncle Josh, now the
first thing we'll look after Will be the
furnishings for It," Hereupon Polly
theoretically declared that she had
heard so much about A. w. Smith that
she had decided to go there. The re-
suit was that they were ushered into
such a bewildering display that the
girl was at first at loss how to select.
But she soon yielded to the seductive
ness of magnificent parlor suite, a bed
room set in oak, golden finish, that
would do credit to old Mr.. Klondyke
himself. To this she added an easy
rocker for Uncle Josh, and didn't for
get a most convenient and ornamental
writing desk for "dubby" Charles,
having come to the conclusion that A.
W. Smiths prices were below the very
whisper of competition.
Woman like, Polly was discussing
the matter of how she would arrange
her new house and was interrupted by
Uncle Josh. "And those house 6xin's
remind me" said he, "thatyou haven't
got your dishes yes. Now, the most
famous stock in town, for extent,
quality and completeness is right here
at Smiths. There isn't positively q
thing in the line of china, crockery,
glass or porcelain needed for use or
ornament in any part of the house that
can not be found here in indetite va
riety and at wonderfully low prices. :"
A. W. Smith also has splendid stock
of lamps of every description and
decorated ware in abundance. Polly's
big order suggested her thorough ap-
probation.
" A pretty good start, said the old
man., and now WEN gaAJ. W. Har-
