AMERICUs NOTES.
An Effort Being Made TO secure Low
err Insurance Rates.

Americus, Ga. Feb. 1.-THE progressive
farmers of Sumter are moving in the
matter of holding a county fair here in the
fall The subject is already being dis
cussed with much favor and when the
County Agricultural Society meets next
will be given definite shape. Many sucs
cessful fairs have been held here in years
past and 1t is believed the custom can
and should Ce revived, as much benefit
to the agricultural interests results theres
from.
Farmers are confident now that the oat
crop will not suffer as severely from the
recent freeze as Was at first supposed. oats
planted since Christmas We're either killed
or badly injured, but crops planted in
November last have recovered from the
effects OF the freeze and are growing Wig
orously.
Farming land in Sumter county are rap
idly appreciating in value, as evidenced by
recent sales. one of these, a portion OF
the j. w. Bailey plantation consisting
Bailey retaining as much land as he cared
to cultivate, The purchaser was James
Summerford, a very successful farmer of
this county. Another sale recently was
that of the Poole farm of 400 acres for So,
COO Very little land is offered for sale
near Americus, and a ready purchaser can
always be found.
The city council Of Americus Is making
determined effort for reduced insurance
rates for this city, and has asked a re-
rating While Americus has for four
years maintained one OF the most eff
cient and best-equipped paid fire depart
ments ia the state, property owners are
compelled to pay the same tariff exacted
under the old volunteer department. The
total losses paid here by insurance com
property owners paid nearly $4,000 in pre-
rniums during the same period

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE President has
signed on the recommendation of Sec
retary of fhe Interior Francis, an i'm
portant order, reducing the number of
pension agencies in the United States
from eighteen to nine. The object of the

that date, be paid by checks remitted

cies in reply to inquiries as to the opera
ton of the new law were 20 the effect
that under it the pensioners are paid
much more p romptly; that the possipii
ty of error is minimiZed and that upon
the whole 1t is much more satisfactory
to the pensioners than the former law.
The agents also advise that the pen
sioners receive their pensions when re-
mitted by mail at their homes, where,
being surroundered by family influence,
the pensioner is more likely to make a
judicious disposition of his pension money
Under the previous law many pensioners

sociatons we're often induced to apply
their families of the benefits thereof

postponed until that date in order that
no pensioner should suffer Inconvenience
in consequence of delay in receiving his
pension, and to give ample time for the

The consolidation was made by uniting
existing agencies and the entire jurisdic-
ton thereof in order that no expense
should be incurred by the making of new
