HERE IS A CHANCE
TO BUILD A PLANT.
Americas Man Is Anxious For q
Canner7.
FURNISH LAND AND MATERIAL.
If Anyone Will Put In Necessary
Equlpment-Excellent Opportunity
For Small Investment Americus
Should Have Just Such Plant.

Americas Will have a fruit canning
plant in operation within few weeks
if some fellow with faith and three or
four hundred dollars will join. a citizen
here who has plenty of faith, land and
lumber, and is willing to invest all IN
a factory.
Only the man who will buy the need
ed equipment is to be found.
Sundays Times Recorder told of the
phenomenal success of the fruit and
vegetable cannery in Fort Valley. A
citizen who read it was impressed
with the statements made.
Yesterday he told the Times Re-
corder that he was willing to invest in
a cannery here if someone would join
in with him. He has a splendid fac
tory site on the railroad front, right IN
the city, and all the lumber that will
be required in putting up buildings.
This is half the battle won, if we can
win the balance.
It will require some $3.50 to $500 to
equip a plant with machinery. III
someone will furnish this amount, let
address Postoffice Box 80 Americas,
Ga. Such an enterprise here would
pay for itself several times over in
one season.

Monday.

Col. S. II, Hawkins suffered stroke
of paralysis shortly before II o'clock
yesterday morning, and while the
shock was not very severe his condi-
ton for time was such as to cause
his family some apprehension.
Last night he was more comfortable,
and resting very we'll.
Col. Hawkins was feeling unwell on
rising at o'clock yesterday, and went
back to bed again only to rise at la
ter hour, possibly 10 o'clock, when he
felt better.
He was sitting at table trying to
write. it is said, when he felt the
stroke. Doctors Prather and Miller
were summoned, and rendered the at
tention required. It is not thought
that his condition is serious.
Col. Hawkins has always enjoyed
the best health, and his friends hope
that he will soon recover entirely from
this sudden Illness.
