THE GOOD OLD SUMMER TlAE.

When the frost is on the window,
Aud the kitchen pail IS froze,
When the little icy needles come
From every breath that blows,
When chilblains make US faint,
And cold feet give rs pain,
It's safe to bet that we all wish,
For summer days again.
For while we sweat and fume
around,
In gauzy summer clothes,
It's easy to get cooled off,
AS everybody knows;
But it's different In the winter,
When the world is full of Ice,
And the weather Is as hard
AS pair of loaded dice.
We may talk about our climate,
And about our springs and falls,
But the balmy days OF summer,
Are the days that suit rs all.

HE WORKED THE BANKER.
How n Clever Merchant Killed Two
Birds With One Stone.

Birds With One Stone.
Recently q wealthy merchant in Pan"
is who does an extensive business with
Japan was Informed that a prominent
firm in Yokohama had failed, but the
name of the firm he could not learn,
though he was most anxious to aScer-
tain whether it WAS the one with which
he did most of his business in that city.
He could have learned the truth by
cabling. but instead he went to the
man, Il we'll known banker. who had
received the news and requested him
to reveal the name of the firm to him.
That's Il very delicate thing to DO
replied the banker. for the news is
not official, and if gave you the name
l might incur some responsibility"
The merchant argued but in vain,
and finally he made this proposition:
y will give y0U." he said, "a list Of
ten firms in Yokohama, and / will ask
you TO look through it and then to tell
ne, without mentioning any name,
whether o. cot the name of the firm
which has failed appears in it. Surely
you viii 90 lat FIR me-"
."IvS." said the banker, for if l do
not mention any name l cannot be held
responsible in any way"
The list VAS made. The banker
looked through it and as he handed it
back to the merchant said, The name
Of the firm which has failed is there"
"Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant, "for that is the firm with
which | did business" showing him a
name on the list.
But how do you know that is the
firm which has failed" asked the
banker in surprise.
VERY easily" replied the merchant.
"Of the ten names on the list only one
is genuine, that of the firm with which
| did business. All the others are ficti-
tious"

OLD BOARD TO GIVE
UP SEATS TO new.
New Council Will Organize
Tomorrow.
MAYoRHAwKINs AND ALDERMEN
Recently Elected VIII Be Sworn in
Wednesday Night, When the Retiring
Members of That Body Will Give Up
Their Seats to Them.

The meeting of the city council last
night was the last regular session of
that body as now constituted, as on
tomorrow evening the new members,
recently elected, will be indicted into
Office and the council for 1908 will be
ready to begin business.
Mayor John B. Fielder and Aldermen
G.. w. Glover, Lynn Fort and John r,
Hudson, the retiring members, will
step down and out.
The oath of office will be admins
tered to Mayor E. A, Hawkins, Alder
men J. A. PlnkstoD, G.. T. Sullivan
and Elmo Poole together with City
Clerk John M. McGarrah. Little
other business will be considered at
this meeting.
The new council will have its first
business session Monday.
The retiring members leavethe coun-
Gil chamber with the consciousness of
duty we'll performed, and with the hope
that their successors may accomplish
even more for Americus during their
tenure of Office, May it be an era of
greater prosperity for Americas.
The city's financial condition, accord
ing to the statement of Chairman Fort,
of the finance committee, is in far bet
ter condition than it has been at any
time in recent years.
Chairman Fort states that there is
now something like 81, 900 in the city g
treasury; only $4,000 remains unpaid
upon what wac, two years ago, float
ing Indebtedness of about 500, OO0. and
this will at once be paid off, leaving
about 81, 900 still on hand.
Thousands of dollars of taxes not yet
collected will swell this sum very con-
siderably, of course.
Mayor Fielder and his board of aid
ermen put forth their best efforts for
Americas during the past two years
that Mayor Hawkins and the council
that stands with HIM will be equally
jealous in promoting the cIty's every
interest is an assured fact in advance.
May 1t prove an era of unemployed
prosperity for our good city.
