AMERICUS IS GIVEN
A BETTER RATING
Of Insurance By The Southeastern
Association.
BASIS CLOSE TO FIRST CLASS
Rate of Insurance is Reduced Upon
Some Lines Had We Electric
Alarm System Would Be On First
Class Basis.

The fact that Americas is to be given
a better rating of insurance by the
Southeastern Tariff Association is q
matter of general interest and the in
formation will be hailed with pleasure
by business men generally and all
others who insure.
Instead of third class rating, the
city will be put on even better basis
than second class.
For two days past representatives of
the Southeastern Tariff Association
have been in conference with local
agents relative to the desired re.rating
of the city.
And while the local men did not get
all theyw ished, many concessions were
made them and the town was put on 8
basis between first and second class,
being a considerable advancement.
Had we an additional department
and electric alarm system, such as At
lanta or Savannah, our basis would be
first class.
The efficiency of the local depart
ment, however, is fully recognized,
and the excellent record made last year
as regards fire losses stamps it one of
the best in the South.
In the re-rating of the city yester-
day the local agents secured a reduc-
ton on some classes of property, while
upon others the rate was deemed suf-
ficiently low already and is the same
charged in the larger cities where the
risk is even greater.
The new basis will probably become
effective in March, or soon thereafter.

FRIENDS PAID LOVING TRIBUTE
Funeral of Mrs J. F. Bolton On
Yesterday.

The funeral services of Mrs, Jere T.
Bolton were conducted from her late
residence on Lee street at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and large con-
course of sorrowing friends assembled
to pay this last tribute of love to tru
ly good woman.
No occasion of like kind here was
ever more impressive.
The services were conducted by
Rev, r. Il Blvins, of Furlow Lawn
Baptist church, assisted by Rev, G.
W. Mathews of First Methodist and
Rev. LIE Roy G. Henderson, of the
Presbyterian church.
A long cortege followed the body to

cemetery.
The pallbearers were Messrs. w. G..
Wright, o. L. Dixon, r. J. Perry, T..
@, Bass, 9, O. Niles, James r. Will
lams and J. W. Query.
Mrs. Bolton was one of the most be-
loved women in Americas, and her en-
tire life was embIematic of the true
Christian. And in the home she so
we'll adorned she was the idol of a de-
voted husband, son and daughters.
The deceased was 81 years of age
and the eldest daughter of the late
Mitchell ). Morgan. She was reared
near Americas.
Besides her husband and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. G L. Chambless and Mrs,
G. P. Payne, and son by former mar
riage, Mr.. James J. Hanesley, her i'm
mediate relatives were twolbrothers, T
J. and J. M. Morgan, and sister, Mrs
J. l. Hudson,
All of these have the sympathy o.
many friends IN their deep bereave-
ment.
