AMtRIIUS IS GOING TO
BE MECCA OF BUYERS
Holiday Trade is Now
Opening Up Well.

Yesterdays flood of sunshine
brought cheer to the hearts of Am.
er1cus merchants, especially those
carrying lines of holiday goods. for
with the warm and beautiful weather
the shoppers came forth, not only
from this city but from other towns
rs veil, and business was brisk in
many lines
Americus people turned out in
force, and with others here from Cor.
dele, Albany, Leesburg, Smithville
Plains, Preston, Leslie, DeSoto, Cobb
Andersonville and other towns, made
business good for the merchants.
And during the ten shopping days
remaining before Christmas, trade will
increase wonderfully even up to the
last hour of Xmas eve.
Advance sales had been heavy
enough to Justify the prediction and
It was everyN mere evident that the
socalled financial depression com
planned of was done for. So far
trade has been splendid, there will
be an increase of business as the
holiday season advances.
. All If the retail stores were crowd
ed with customers yesterday and ii
was difficult to see the managers In
ali of the stores the crush was evi-
dent There was no department in
which trade was not brisk The
statesmen were busy and scarcely had
time to answer questions.
One leading merchant here ex-
pressed it thusly:
we have no right to complain;
the condition is all that we could ex-
pect; but we would urge the people
to come and make their purchases
while the stocks are fresh, and get
the best that we have to offer: other
wise they may not be able to get
what the markets have to offer.
Some people have way of wait
ing until the last moment and when
they come they fail to find an array
TO attract them; it is not because
merchants have not exercised fore
| thought but because the customers
have failed to reach the stores in
time to get the best.
This advice is good; it is good for
every Christmas shopping campaign
Go early get the best, and avoid
the final stampede.

CHECKS ARE HERE FOR
THE VETS OF SUMTER
Money is Awaiting Their
Early Call.

The one hundred and twenty-foul
Confederate pensioners of Sumter
county can call at the office of Judge
John A. Cobb, of the court of ordi-
nary tomorrow, or at any time they
may choose, and receive the pension
check awaiting them there.
For the money is on hand and in
ample time for the veterans and
Others to enjoy Christmas.
Saturday Captain Cobb received
from Commissioner Lindsey the full
amount of the fourth quarterly pen
sion due the veterans of Sumter, the
sum being $191O.
This he deposited in bank, and is
sues checks against it for the amounts
to which the several pensioners are
entitled. This laborious work con-
sumed day, but it is all done and
the checks are ready to be issued
tomorrow
And the veterans will rally strong
this week to get them.
On account of shortage of cash in
the State Treasury it was feared for
a time that the payment of the
fourth quarterly pension would have
to be postponed until some time in
January, when the states finances
would be better.
But the money is in hand and the
vets and widows of veterans will be
paid at once. Sumter's pensioners
are paid about $500 annually by the
State.

Live Questions Up

Street paving will be one of the
live questions for the new admins
tration to handle. Judging the fu-
ture by the past, it is a sa fepredic-
ton that Mayor Fielder will be an
earnest advocate of this municipal
Improvement. Questions connected
with the new street railway are to
be handled, and it will be the duty
of the Mayor to see that the city's
rights are protected, while at the
same time no chances for substantial
Improvement. are lost.
The next two years will be most
important ones in the city's progress,
and it is gratifying to know that the
new Mayor has been in the business
of pushing Americus forward at ev-
cry opportunity. Whatever else is
to be said of the administration when
it closes, the most critical critic GER
tainly cannot say that any lack of
progressive spirit was to be found.
That has been the record of Mayor
Fielder through nine administrations
and it is certain that he has not
changed his views within the recent
past
Every move for the beautifying and
upbuilding of Americus is sure to find
in Mayor Fielder a staunch friend and
hearty advocate:

that the steers were, too light for the
contests, one having been injured on
Friday so badly that it had to be

selves masters of their art. The
races, which concluded the perform
ance, were exciting contests. The

For the tenth time, Capt John B
Fielder has just been elected Mayor
of Americus, having already filled the
office for seventeen years, all told
At the close of his present term he
will have been for nineteen years the
chief official of Americus This is a
record of which any man in any city
may we'll be proud as expressive OF
the esteem in which he is held by his
fellow citizens, and as an endorse
ment of his policies.
Capt. Fielder began his official con-
nection with the city of Americus in
the fall of 1874, when he was elected
a member of the Board of Aldermen.
At that time the election for Mayor
and Aldermen occurred annually In
the fall OF 1876 Capt Fielder was the
successful candidate for Mayor. Dur
ing the next year occurred the near
riots in connection with the Tilden and
Hayes election, when feeling was at
a high tension Mayor Fielder at that
time stood firm for law and order and
the threatened trouble was averted.
The following year Capt. Fielder
was defeated by Col. A. S. Cults.
who served for two years under the
new arrangement by which city off
cials were elected for two years. AT
the next election Capt. Fielder was
the successful candidate, and for sew
en- terms of two years each he presid-
ed over the destinies of the city. In
1890 he was again chosen for a term
of two years, retiring voluntarily in
1892.
