many:

venture. The results of my invest
ment In land are briefly given; AS |
'homesteaded" the amount Of invest
ment was, aside from my labor, prac-
ttcally nothing. My expenses on the
homestead have been about 5000 and
my net profits $3.50. Breaking and
seeding cost me 1920; seed fax, 500;
harvesting, $50; threshing, 800; help

Hay grows here on the prairies In
abundance and is fine in more ways
than one. 1t is fine in quality and SO
fine In that other way that one cannot
haul it in wagon box without its
leaking out under the endboards. Six
quarts of oats and bushel and half
Of this hay make good feed for a
horse, SO you can readily see that the
quality is fine"

DUNCAN PROPOSES
LEAVING AMERICAS.
One of Largest Houses Here to Discon-
tinue Business.
TO LOCATE IN NORTHERN CITY.
This Enterprlslng House Will Be
Transferred to Larger Field North.
Mr.. Duncan a Wide Awake Mer-
chant and Departure Regretted.

It is with feeling of deepest regret
that the Times-Recorder announces
that Americas is to lose shortly one of
her largest and most enterprising bust
ness houses, that of A. Ct. Duncan, as
the proprietor proposes seeking wider
field in O metropolitan northern city.
All arrangements for removal hence
have been completed.
This announcement will come in the
nature of surprise to the people of
Americas and Southwestern Georgia,
among whom the name of "Duncan's
Store" is household word.
For three years past Mr.. Duncan has
conducted large and successful bust
ness here. Beginning in q modest
way he has, by thrift, fair dealings and
selling only the best goods, built up a
business the equal of that of any mer-
chant in southern Georgia.
His immense store on Forsyth street
stocked with the best lines of goods, is
as handsome as can be found in any
| Georgia city.
Tt Is an ornament to Americas, and
has long been such.
Quite recently Mr.. Duncan has re-
ceived propositions to go north which
he cannot afford to ignore, and has
fully determined to close out his in
terests in Americas. Already he is
shaping his affairs to set away by
February 1st at the latest.

sponsible Duties at Head of PARTY
In Georgia,

The democratic voters of Americas
and of this entire section, like all 9th

believed necessary some months ago
on account of the condition of his
health. Since that time, however,
Mr., duBignon has regained consider

be able to direct the campaign next
year. In view of the fact that the
campaign promises to be a long one

more anxious to be found actively at
work in the ranks of his party.

The rapid increase in attendance at

attendance of white pupils was about

attendance of 564, gain of nearly a
hundred pupils there within this short

MORE VALUABLE THAN COTTON.
This Farmer Quits Cotton Patch For
the Hay Farm,

81 stopped all my hands from pick
ing cotton today and put them to saw
ing hay The cotton can wait while
the hay will not, and / consider my
hay crop too valuable to risk losing
it." This was the statement made by
a successful farmer and business man
to the Times-Recorder yesterday.
And it is, in itself, evidence of his
thrift and foresight. While many 9TH
ers are industriously gathering cotton,
too few are saving hay. Corn and hay
still advance in price, while cotton de-
clines. 1t is all we'll to save both, but
the farmer quoted above will loose
nothing by stopping his hands from
picking cotton to saving hay"
