LITTLE IS DONE IN
THE LINE OF WORK
At Meeting of Council Last
Night.
FEW MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE
Commanded the Attention of the So
Ions and the Session Mas Not a
Lengthy One-Routine Matters Dis
cussed and Bills Paid.

The city council met last night,
principally because it was the regular
meeting night, as there was no impor-
taut business to command the attention
of the grave and reverend seignors"
there collected.
Mayor Hawkins held the gsvel, and
the six able answered "here" to the
roll call.
For time silence prevailed, the
stiffness being broken only by the
click of the gas meter as it worked
away busily over in corner.
The most important matter discussed
was the proposed improvement of
Jackson street. Material for the curb
ing, etc., will be purchased, and tie
work will be pushed forward rapidly
when the Seaboard sends the gravel.
Then there was another pause, while
the gas meter worked steadily.
Some one suggested detailing a pc
liceman as sanitary inspector, which
was agreed to, and the police board will
detail one for the work
There was not new ordinance adop-
ted or set of resolutions introduced.
After a lapse of time the batch of bills
was taken up and ordered paid out of
the surplus which now fills the city
treasury
That was all, The gas was cut off
and the solons quietly went home. g

GATES OF CITY TO
OPEN TO A HOST.
A Welcome to South Georgia
Extended.
MARCHING OF MULTITUDE HERE
Monster Barbecue of Candidates
Brings Thousands to Americus-
Great Feast is Spread and Americus
WeIcomes all Who Come.

From the four points of the compass
the hosts are iourneying this morning
to Americus. Five thousand visitors
are happy on the way here, and by 10
o'clock the business streets will fill as
they never were jammed before.
For all Of south Georgia is coming
to the candidatal cue.
It has been proclaimed the greatest
occasion of the kind in this section of
the state, and Americus is coming fully
up to the mark.
From Stewart, Schley, Macon, Web
ster, Lee, Dooly, Terrell and Sumter
the democratic hosts are coming on
this way. A royal invitation has been
sent forth and a princely welcome
awaits the stranger within our gates
The occasion will be one of fraternal
greeting and general good fellowship.
Americus has invited all her friends,
regardless of county lines.
The gates of the city will be raised
from their hinges and a welcome given
TO ali VINO enter mere.
The occasion, while inargurated by
the several candidates, belongs to
Americus as whole, and the city and
people will unite in making of it a
success indeed. Dull care is laid aside
and upon all sIdes good cheer prevails.
Down at Magnolia Dell this morning
the barbecue pits are smoking.
And there, like Casabianca of old,
Coot StaHfield stands by the burning
brands, basting the meats with aromatic
decootion and rendering them what
they will ultimately be-a dish fit for
the gods.
And at Magnolia Dell the hosts will
gather this morning.
Everybody is invited, and everybody
fally expected, and should any stay
away the fault is theirs.
There will be monster dinner; mu-
sic during the day and fraternal greet
ing among all. The thirty candidates
will be there to welcome the voter, but
they will not talk politics For once
the voter need not be at all afraid.
The exercises will be opened at II 80
promptly, when Mr.. E. A. Nisbet will
introduce the speakers, Messrs Frank
A. Hooper and James r. Williams,
the two solicitorial candidates.
Under ruling of the general COM
mittee the speaking Will be confined
strictly to these gentlemen, who will
we'll entertain the throng.
At exactly 1880 O'Clock dinner will
be announced; not a minute sooner
or later. Forty fine porkers will orna-
ment the tables and this will be sup
plemented by numerous baskets con
tributed to the dinner by the ladies'
Many ladies will send their bask cts
to the Dell where Mr. G.. HI. Fields will
receive them, while others prefer to
retain charge and serve their dinners
themselves, and will do so.
But there will be plenty to eat, and
everybody is invited.
The Seaboard will bring in great
crowd at O'Clock this morning, while
others still will come from the west on
the noon train. Many merchants will
close their stores anyway from y to
1870 regardless of concerted action.
Let all unite in making this a great
gala day in Americus.
