DROVE A FINE TEAM OF cRAYs.
5agging Trust Holds no Fear for the
Bottoms.

The Times Recorder is ever glad to
notice the teams coming to Amerlcus,
as it is an evidence of care and atten-
on the farm and bespeaks the prosperi-
ty of the owners. Many fine teams
come here, some OF them being worth
a round thousand.
One of the finest driven to the city
yesterday was that of Bolton Bros.
Four splendid iron greys, fat, sleek
and high stepping fellows they were,
brought IN load OF eight bales of cot
ton, with the negro driver perched
proudly on top
Aside from the fine team, the fact
that the cotton bales were wrapped in
jufe coffee sacks, instead of bagging,
attracted attention. This covering was
even better than bagging, being stouter
and heavier, and cost the owners little
or nothing.
It is easy for any farmer to have
good teams, and nothing attracts more
attention and favorable comment on
all sides.

Clarke & Council shipped to Allan ia

they purchased from farmers near
Amerlcus.
Americus cotton receipts yesterday
almost touched the nine hundred mark.
It was probably the banner day of the
season here.
Excessive taxation prevents people
coming to city, when other fields are
quite as inviting. Americas must not
drive people away.
Mr.. w. D. Haynes was not as badly
hurt in the RUNAWAY accident Friday as
at first supposed, and was out again
yesterday morning.
If anyone has located circus com,

When to leave off ice cream and

Americas just now.
Not in recent years has such throngs
of people filled the business streets Of
Amerlcus as came yesterday. It was O
carnival Of trade, too.
Only two chickens broke through the
lines and reached Americas yesterday.
And a patient sentinel on the watch
tower got the birdlets.
The first week of the new school ses-

than 500 white pupils are enrolled, and
others are still coming.
Despite the slump in cotton yester-
terday money circulated freely in
Americas and it was the banner day oil
the season for business.
Guerry's bridge, near Americus, is

AMERICUS SHORT
SIXTY THOUSAND.
Council Makes Estimate Of
Returns.
RATE FOR YEAR us@NoT MADE
Council, May Go Over Tax Returns
Before Fixing Rate to the End OF
Increasing Values-By This Means
Shortage May BE Found

Instead of deficiency OF one hun
dred thousand dollars in the amount OF
property returns for taxes, as first es-
timated, 1t is now announced that the
sum shy will not exceed sixty thous'
and. And some of this may be found.
The city council is going over the tax
returns with this end in view, and
hope to find the leak. That some or @
has blundered is fact quite evident
just now.
Taxable property in Americas
should show large increase, instead
of shor'a age of $50 600.
Members of the council think the
trouble can be located. While real
estate Is returned at fair valuation, ii
is said that many people have returned
their money, notes and accounts and
stocks of goods at a low figure.
Entirely too low, in many instanceF,
the councilmen think.
Within The past year probably hun
dred houses have been built here; new
corners have brought large property
here, and yet the tax returns show 6
big deficit.
Until the matter is probed the coun
Gil will defer levying the tax for the cur
rent year. One single item of $4,000
or $50, 600, it is said, has been over
looked in the making of returns, ana
this may bring up the deficiency.
Conditions here are, in reality, such
| that the tax rate should be lowered in
stead of increased, and to the extrem,
limit at that.

= ROME, Feb. 5.-The smallest
army in the world lives within the
vatican, drills in It's small courts and
repels no other enemy than the tour
list who would intrude upon the pri-
vacy of the pope.
The papal troops are relics OF the
time when Rome was a temporal
state of the church, when from time
to time 1t had many enemies not
spiritual. Their last contests were
with the raiders under Garabaldi, but
when, September 90. 1870, King Vic
tor Emmanuel marched into Rome
at the head of the whole Italian army.
the papaI troops submitted peaceful
ly. Since then their duties have
been honorary.

guard commanded by Prince Altieri
and composed of so men, all belong

get from $50 to $50 q month. Their
duties are nominal, except on great
occasions. and the positions are much
sought after. The prize Of the ser
