Kicking against progress and public notices in Americus
Official council proceedings from Americus Georgia dated November 11 1889 record the mayor and aldermen present and bills approved including payments to local trades and a note on a railroad track across Jackson Street. A adjourned meeting featured a long resolution defending city harmony between white and black residents and condemning sensational local correspondents. Also included are notices and light items such as the kissing drill anecdote and brief mentions of local incidents and advertisements for medicines and public notices.
