AMERICUS GETS
THAT CARNIVAL
Success of Enterprise Is Now Fully
Assured.
FULL DETAILS NOW COMPLETED
Balance of Money Required Was
Raised Yesterday and Carnival
Committee is Now Gong to Work
in Earnest to Make it Success.

Will Americas have that street fair
and carnival? Most assuredly, yes.
While there was shadow of doubt
about it up to yesterday morning. that
doubt was removed when Capt. J. B
Fielder and his committee. by untiring
effort, secured the balance of the cash
needed to get the carnival here.
This settled the one important ques-
tion, and now the entertainment COM
mittee is hard at work to.make the venss
ture big success.
It win be the grandest success of
the kind ever attempted here.
The Times Recorder yesterday told
of many of the attractions which the
Berger. & Sturges Carnival Go. would
bring here-fulIy a score-but Mr..
Berger stated yesterday that several
others would be added to the list
He left Yesterday to arrange for
these and returns here Monday.
This Christmas week will be the liv-
Hest ever witnessed in Americus, and
where usually the streets are wellnigh
deserted after Christmas day thous-
ands will throng them this time.
For all of south Georgia will be in
vited to the show, and as it will be
''holiday week" with all, the people
will come to the show.
There is good reason to believe that
the management can secure the at
tendance of at least a dozen military
companies and this will be crowning
feature. Gov. Gambler and staff will
be invited to review the troops.
The Georgia Poultry Show, Mr..
Mr.. Berger says, will be an attraction.
Just at this early stage it is impossi-
BILE to enumerate the many attractions,
but there Will be plenty of them, and
thousands of visitors are coming to
Americus' Christmas Carnival.

GAINED A FEW POINTS ONLY
Trade Awaiting the Bureau Report
Monday.

The same quietude prevails in the
cotton market as during the past week,
the uncertainty of the contents of the
Government report to be issued tomor-
row causing the trade to hold aloof.
The market, however, rallied some from
the sharp slump of the day previous.
Selling has been rather free in the
Americas market during the week and
livestock here thus materially reduced,
though some planters are still holding
out for ten cents. The prevailing
price here yesterday was 81 cents for
the best, and several hundred bales
went at that goodly figure.
