Monday.
From indications yesterday it was
estimated that fully five hundred peo-
pie would go from Americus and vi
entity tomorrow on the Ssaboard's first
excursion of the season to Savannah.
The trip has been talked about for a
week, and many parties of ladies and
gentlemen have been made mp The
special traia leaves Americas at Oils to-
morrow morning, aud the railroad COM
pany will provide an ample number of
coaches that all may have seat. Tick.
cts are also good for the regular train,
but as the especial" arrives at 4 o. m,
thus atfording ample time to catch
trains for Tybee, most of the excur
sionists prefer it. This will be one of
the most delightful excursions ont of
Americas this summer, and the low
rate of s. 90 round trip affords all an
opportunity for few days vacation at
nominal cost.

PROSPECT OF FALL BUSINESS
Americas Merchants Expect Excellent
Trade.

Il is the concensus of opinion that
Americas is going to have this fall the
best seasons business in years. This
belief is induced by the general pros
perity of this section in particular,
augmented by the prospect of a mag
nifcent crop. Around Americas, in
Sumter and in nearby counties, the
finest cotton crop grown in years is
now maturing and promises an album
dant yield. The corn crop is good as
we'll aud to these may be added the re-
ceipts from a good fruit crop. Ameri-
Gus should receive $4,000 bales cotton
this year, and doubtless will, Prices,
while below the level of last season,
perhaps. will be remunerative, and the
sale Of the crop marketed IN Americas
will turn a food of wealth into the
channels of trade here. In view of the
fine prospect for fall business several
new business enterprises will be
launched here in September.
